Following the initial Time of Sale for any class of Offered Certificates, the Depositor also filed with, or proposes to file with, the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act a prospectus specifically relating to the Offered Certificates (the “Prospectus”). In accordance with Rule 172(c) of the 1933 Act, if it has not done so already, the Depositor shall make a good faith and reasonable effort to file the Prospectus, in the form that satisfies Section 10(a) of the 1933 Act, within the time required under Rule 424 under the 1933 Act and, if the Depositor fails to timely file the Prospectus, the Depositor shall file the Prospectus as soon as practicable thereafter. The Depositor also has filed with, or proposes to file with, the Commission pursuant to Item 1111(h) and Item 1125 of Regulation AB under the 1933 Act a Form ABS-EE (together with the exhibits thereto) with respect to each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, specifically relating to the Offered Certificates (the “Form ABS-EE”). The registration statement referred to above as amended at the time when it became effective, or, if a post-effective amendment is filed with respect thereto, as amended by such post-effective amendment at the time of its effectiveness, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Registration Statement.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement used in connection with the offering of the Offered Certificates, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 10(a) or 10(d) of Form SF-3 under the 1933 Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference to “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after the date the Registration Statement became effective, after the date of the Preliminary Prospectus or after the date of filing of the Prospectus, as the case may

 3

be, under the 1934 Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

(ii)              At or prior to the time when sales to purchasers of the Offered Certificates were first made in accordance with Rule 159 of the 1933 Act, which was (a) approximately 12:47 p.m. (Eastern Time) on May 4, 2017 with respect to all of the Offered Certificates (other than the Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates) and (b) approximately 2:48 p.m. (Eastern Time) on May 5, 2017 with respect to the Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates (individually and collectively, the “Time of Sale”), the Depositor had prepared and filed with the Commission the following information (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): (i) the Preliminary Prospectus; (ii) a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act (a “Free Writing Prospectus”), designated as a Structural and Collateral Term Sheet, dated April 26, 2017, relating to the Offered Certificates (the “Structural and Collateral Term Sheet FWP”), the first page of which is attached hereto as Annex A, and (iii) the Free Writing Prospectus, filed with the Commission on April 26, 2017 under SEC Accession No. 0001539497-17-000628, relating to the Offered Certificates (the “Annex A-1 FWP”) (each of the Structural and Collateral Term Sheet FWP and the Annex A-1 FWP are referred to herein as an “Additional FWP” and, collectively, as the “Additional FWPs”). The Time of Sale Information was delivered to investors in the Offered Certificates prior to the Time of Sale. If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Depositor or the Underwriters determine that, as to investors in one or more Classes of the Offered Certificates, the Time of Sale Information as of the Time of Sale included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Underwriters terminate their old purchase contracts and enter into new purchase contracts with investors in such Classes of the Offered Certificates, then “Time of Sale Information” shall also refer to the additional information conveyed to investors at the time of entry into such new purchase contract (each, a “Subsequent Time of Sale”), including any information that corrects such material misstatements or omissions (“Corrective Information”) and “Time of Sale” will refer to the time and date on which such new purchase contracts were entered into.

(iii)             As of the date hereof, as of the date the Registration Statement became effective, as of the date any portion of the Registration Statement relating to the Offered Certificates was deemed effective pursuant to Rule 430D under the 1933 Act, as of each Time of Sale (including any Subsequent Time of Sale), as of the date of the Preliminary Prospectus, as of the date the Prospectus is first filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, as of the date when, prior to the Closing Date, any amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective or any supplement to the Prospectus is filed with the Commission, and as of the Closing Date, (i) the Registration Statement, as amended as of any such time, the Preliminary Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time, and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time, complied, complies and will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act (where applicable) and the rules and regulations thereunder, and (ii) the Registration Statement, as amended as of any such time, did not, does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and did not, does not and will not omit

to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the Preliminary Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time, did not, does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and did not, does not and will not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time, did not, does not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and did not, does not and will not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Depositor makes no representations, warranties or agreements as to (A) the Underwriter Information contained in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or the information contained in any revision or amendment of or supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Depositor by any Underwriter on behalf of itself or the other Underwriters specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such revision or amendment of or supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, (B) any information contained in or omitted from the portions of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus for which any Mortgage Loan Seller is obligated to indemnify the Underwriters under a separate Indemnification Agreement, dated the date hereof, between such Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor and the Underwriters (such information, as to all the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the “Mortgage Loan Seller Information”), (C) any information regarding a Transaction Party contained in or omitted from the portions of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus for which such Transaction Party is obligated to indemnify the Underwriters under a separate related indemnification agreement, dated the date hereof, entered into between such Transaction Party, the Depositor and the Underwriters (such information, as to all the Transaction Parties, the “Transaction Party Information”), (D) any information regarding Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC (“Rialto”) contained in or omitted from the portions of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus for which Rialto is obligated to indemnify the Underwriters under a separate related indemnification agreement, dated the date hereof, entered into between Rialto, the Depositor and the Underwriters (such information, as to Rialto, the “Rialto Information”), or (E) any information regarding KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners Aggregator I L.P. (the “TPP”) contained in or omitted from the portions of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus for which the TPP is obligated to indemnify the Underwriters under a separate related indemnification agreement, dated the date hereof, entered into between the TPP, the Depositor and the Underwriters (such information, as to the TPP, the “TPP Information”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the “Underwriter Information” shall consist of, with respect to each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, the last three paragraphs, the first and third sentences of the seventh paragraph and the fourth sentence of the ninth paragraph of the section of each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus entitled “METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION (UNDERWRITER)” and the second to last paragraph (commencing “The underwriters, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, …”) on the cover page of each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus. Any Issuer Information (as defined below) provided by the Depositor to any Underwriter, as of the date that such Issuer Information was so provided for inclusion in an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below), did not, as of the date that such Issuer Information was so provided, and does not,

 5

as of the date of this Agreement, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the Depositor shall not be in breach of this representation if the Depositor provided Issuer Information to the Underwriters, correcting such untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in previously delivered Issuer Information, so long as the Depositor delivered the corrected information to the Underwriters a reasonable period time prior to the Time of Sale.

(iv)             The conditions to the use by the Depositor of a registration statement on Form SF-3 under the 1933 Act, as set forth in the General Instructions to Form SF-3, in connection with the offering and sale of the Offered Certificates as contemplated by the Prospectus, have been satisfied or will be satisfied as of the date on which the Prospectus is required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act with respect to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. If and to the extent applicable with respect to the Registration Statement, the requirements of General Instruction I.A. of Form SF-3 were met as of ninety days after the end of the Depositor’s most recently ended fiscal year.

(v)              The Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale (including any Time of Sale Information existing at any Subsequent Time of Sale, if any, at such Subsequent Time of Sale), did not, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Depositor makes no representation and warranty with respect to (A) any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information, (B) any Mortgage Loan Seller Information contained in or omitted from such Time of Sale Information, (C) any Transaction Party Information contained in or omitted from such Time of Sale Information, (D) any Rialto Information contained in or omitted from such Time of Sale Information or (E) any TPP Information contained in or omitted from such Time of Sale Information.

(vi)             The Depositor (including its agents and representatives, other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such) has not made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to and will not make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Offered Certificates other than (i) any document not constituting a prospectus pursuant to Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the 1933 Act or Rule 134 under the 1933 Act, (ii) the Preliminary Prospectus, (iii) the Prospectus, (iv) any supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus that may be required to be filed with the Commission under Rule 424(h)(2) under the 1933 Act, (v) the Additional FWPs and (vi) each other written communication of the Depositor or its agents and representatives approved by the Underwriters either in writing in advance or in any other manner mutually agreed to by the Underwriters and the Depositor (each such communication referred to in the immediately preceding clause (v) and this clause (vi) constituting an “issuer free

 6

writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 433(h) under the 1933 Act, being referred to as an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”). Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus complied or, if used after the date hereof, will comply, in all material respects with the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, has been filed or will be filed in accordance with Section 4 hereof (to the extent required thereby) and did not at the Time of Sale, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statements of a material fact or (when read in conjunction with the other Time of Sale Information conveyed to the subject investor) omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or include any information that conflicted or conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement; provided that the Depositor makes no representation and warranty with respect to (i) any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information, (ii) any Mortgage Loan Seller Information contained in or omitted from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (iii) any Transaction Party Information contained in or omitted from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (iv) any Rialto Information contained in or omitted from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or (v) any TPP Information contained in or omitted from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

The Depositor acknowledges that the Additional FWPs and the other Free Writing Prospectuses filed by it through the date hereof are the only Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses (as defined below) prepared by or on behalf of the Depositor as of the date hereof.

(vii)            The Depositor has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business, as described in the Prospectus, and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the MLPAs and the PSA, and is conducting its business so as to comply in all material respects with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it is conducting business.

(viii)          There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, the Depositor pending, or, to the knowledge of the Depositor, threatened, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, the PSA, any MLPA or the Certificates, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Offered Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any MLPA or the PSA, (iii) which might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, any MLPA, the PSA or the Certificates or (iv) seeking to affect adversely the federal income tax attributes of the Offered Certificates described in the Prospectus.

(ix)             No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect, and no proceedings for such purpose are pending or, to the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission. The Depositor has not received and is not aware of any request by the Commission for any further amendment of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information or any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Offered Certificates

 7

for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(x)              The issuance and sale of the Certificates, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the PSA and the MLPAs by the Depositor and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein by the Depositor and compliance by the Depositor with its obligations hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not (A) contravene any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor or applicable law or (B) conflict with or constitute a breach of or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Depositor pursuant to, any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which the Depositor or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Depositor is subject, which conflict, breach, default, lien, charge or encumbrance is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Depositor’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the MLPAs or the PSA, or any statute, order, decree, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor or any of its subsidiaries of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Depositor or any of its subsidiaries. Neither the Depositor nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to, bound by or in breach or violation of any indenture or other agreement or instrument, or subject to or in violation of any statute, order, decree, rule or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it, which materially and adversely affects the ability of the Depositor to enter into or perform its obligations under this Agreement, any MLPA or the PSA.

(xi)             The Offered Certificates have been duly and validly authorized by the Depositor for issuance and sale (or will have been so authorized prior to the issuance thereof) pursuant to this Agreement and the PSA. When issued, authenticated and delivered by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and of the PSA against payment of the consideration therefor by the Underwriters in accordance with this Agreement, the Offered Certificates will be duly and validly issued and outstanding and entitled to the benefits provided by the PSA, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by the effect of (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors generally, and (B) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law. The Offered Certificates, the PSA, the MLPAs and the other transaction documents conform in all material respects to all statements relating thereto contained in each of (A) the Prospectus, (B) the Time of Sale Information and (C) any Issuer Information (as may have been revised and corrected if such revised or corrected information was delivered a reasonable time prior to the Time of Sale) delivered to any Underwriter for inclusion in an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus.

(xii)            No authorization, approval or consent of any court or governmental authority or agency is necessary in connection with the offering, issuance or sale of the Offered Certificates hereunder, except such as have been, or as of the Closing Date will have been, obtained or such as may otherwise be required under applicable state securities

 8

laws in connection with the purchase and offer and sale of the Offered Certificates by the Underwriters and any recordation of the respective assignments of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee pursuant to the MLPAs and the PSA that have not yet been completed.

(xiii)           This Agreement and each MLPA have been, and, as of the Closing Date, the PSA will be, duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Depositor. This Agreement and the MLPAs constitute, and as of the Closing Date the PSA will constitute, a legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by the effect of (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors generally, (B) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law, and (C) public policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to the extent that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement that purport or are construed to provide indemnification from securities law liabilities.

(xiv)           As of the Closing Date, the representations and warranties of the Depositor set forth in the PSA and any MLPA will be true and correct.

(xv)            There are no contracts, indentures or other documents of a character required by the 1933 Act or by the rules and regulations thereunder to be described or referred to in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that have not been so described or referred to therein or so filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto.

(xvi)           Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, the Depositor will have good title to, and will be the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge, mortgage, lien, security interest, adverse claim or other encumbrance of any other person. At the time of the execution and delivery of the PSA, the Depositor (A) will convey to the Trustee, or cause to be conveyed to the Trustee, all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, free and clear of any lien, mortgage, pledge, charge, encumbrance, adverse claim or other security interest (collectively, “Liens”) granted by or imposed upon the Depositor, (B) will not have assigned to any other person any of its right, title or interest in the Mortgage Loans or in the PSA or, except for the Underwriters, the Offered Certificates, and (C) will have the power and authority to transfer or cause to be transferred its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee and to sell the Offered Certificates to the Underwriters. Upon execution and delivery of the PSA by the Trustee, the Trustee will have acquired ownership of all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans except to the extent disclosed in the Prospectus, and upon delivery to the Underwriters of the Offered Certificates pursuant hereto, each Underwriter will have good title to the Offered Certificates purchased by such Underwriter, in each case free of Liens granted by or imposed upon the Depositor.

(xvii)          The PSA is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Depositor is not, and the issuance and sale of the Offered Certificates in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus

 9

will not cause the Depositor or the Trust Fund to be, subject to registration or regulation as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust Fund will be relying on an exclusion or exemption from the definition of “investment company” under the 1940 Act contained in Section 3(c)(5) of the 1940 Act or Rule 3a-7 under the 1940 Act, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will not be relying on an exclusion or exemption under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act as a basis for not registering under the 1940 Act. The Trust Fund is being structured so as not to constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Pub. L. No. 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010), also known as the Volcker Rule.

(xviii)         Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Depositor will report the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee in exchange for the Certificates and the sale of the Offered Certificates to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement as a sale of the interest in the Mortgage Loans evidenced by the Certificates. The consideration received by the Depositor upon the sale of the Offered Certificates to the Underwriters will constitute at least reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the Offered Certificates. The Depositor will be solvent at all relevant times prior to, and will not be rendered insolvent by, the sale of the Offered Certificates to the Underwriters. The Depositor is not selling the Offered Certificates to the Underwriters with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the creditors of the Depositor.

(xix)            The Depositor has not relied on the Underwriters for any tax, regulatory, accounting or other advice with respect to compliance with or registration under any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental, regulatory, administrative or other agency or authority. The Depositor acknowledges and agrees that (i) the terms of this Agreement and the offering (including the price of the Offered Certificates) were negotiated at arm’s length between sophisticated parties represented by counsel; (ii) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Depositor and the Underwriters has been created as a result of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether any Underwriter has advised or is advising the Depositor on other matters; (iii) the Underwriters’ obligations to the Depositor in respect of the offering, and the purchase and sale, of the Offered Certificates are set forth in this Agreement in their entirety; and (iv) it has obtained such legal, tax, accounting and other advice as it deems appropriate with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any other activities undertaken in connection therewith, and it is not relying on the Underwriters with respect to any such matters.

(xx)             The Trust Fund (other than those portions specified in the PSA) will qualify as two separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); the Regular Certificates and the VRR REMIC Regular Interest will constitute “regular interests” in a REMIC; and the Class R Certificates will constitute the sole class of “residual interests” in each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Grantor Trust will be treated as a grantor trust under Subpart E

 10

of Part I of Subchapter J of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c)(1), the VRR Interest will represent beneficial ownership of the VRR REMIC Regular Interest and the VRR Excess Interest Portion under Section 671 of the Code, and the Class V Certificates will represent beneficial ownership of the Excess Interest (other than the VRR Excess Interest Portion) under Section 671 of the Code.

(xxi)            There are no legal or governmental actions or proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Depositor, threatened, to which the Depositor is a party or to which any of the properties of the Depositor are subject that are required to be described in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or necessary in order to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and that are not so described, nor are there any contracts or other documents to which the Depositor is a party or to which the Depositor or any of the properties of the Depositor are subject that are required to be described in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.

(xxii)          The Depositor possesses all material licenses, certificates, authorizations and/or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by it, and the Depositor has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such license, certificate, authorization or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would materially and adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Depositor.

(xxiii)          At the Closing Date, the respective classes of Offered Certificates listed on Schedule I hereto shall have been assigned ratings by the Rating Agencies (as defined in the PSA) no less than those set forth in the Structural and Collateral Term Sheet FWP and such ratings shall not have been withdrawn, suspended or qualified.

(xxiv)         Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges in connection with the execution, delivery and issuance of this Agreement, the PSA, the MLPAs and the Offered Certificates payable by the Depositor (other than income taxes) have been paid or will be paid at or prior to the Closing Date.

(xxv)          The Depositor is not, and on the date on which the first bona fide offer of the Offered Certificates is made (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the 1933 Act) will not be, an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act.

(xxvi)          If the Depositor has executed and delivered a written representation to any Rating Agency that it will take the actions specified in paragraphs (a)(3)(iii)(A) through (E) of Rule 17g-5 under the 1934 Act, then the Depositor has complied, and will hereafter comply, with such representation, other than any breach of such representation (A) that would not have a material adverse effect on the Offered Certificates or (B) arising from a breach by any of the Underwriters of a representation, warranty and agreement set forth in this Agreement.

 11

(xxvii)        The statements set forth in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the heading “Material Federal Income Tax CONSIDERATIONS” insofar as they purport to describe matters of law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, are correct in all material respects.

(xxviii)       The Depositor has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain without the consent of the Underwriters) any third party due diligence report contemplated by Rule 15Ga-2 under the 1934 Act (a “Due Diligence Report”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Prospectus other than the agreed-upon procedures report (the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters, obtained from the accounting firm engaged to provide procedures involving a comparison of information in the loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (the “Accountants”), a copy of which has been furnished to the Underwriters, at the request of the Depositor; and, except for the Accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Depositor has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ without the consent of the Underwriters) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the 1934 Act (“Due Diligence Services”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Prospectus. The Accountants have consented to use of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report in the preparation of a Form 15G (as defined below) furnished on EDGAR as required by Rule 15Ga-2 under the 1934 Act (“Rule 15Ga-2”).

(xxix)          The Depositor received a certification on Form ABS Due Diligence-15E (a “Form 15E”) from the Accountants in connection with the Due Diligence Services provided by the Accountants, and such Form 15-E was promptly posted after receipt, as required by Rule 17g-5 under the 1934 Act, on the Rule 17g-5 website established by or on behalf of the Depositor or MSMCH, and the Depositor has not received any other Form 15E from any party.

(xxx)           The Depositor (A) prepared one or more reports on Form ABS-15G (each, a “Form 15G”) containing the findings and any conclusions of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report and meeting all other requirements of that Form 15G, Rule 15Ga-2, any other rules and regulations of the Commission and the 1934 Act; (B) provided a copy of the final draft of each Form 15G to the Underwriters at least six Business Days before the date hereof; and (C) furnished each Form 15G to the Commission on EDGAR at least five (5) Business Days before the date hereof as required by Rule 15Ga-2 under the 1934 Act.

(xxxi)          No portion of any Form 15G contains any names, addresses, other personal identifiers or zip codes with respect to any individuals, or any other personally identifiable or other information that would be associated with an individual, including without limitation any “nonpublic personal information” within the meaning of Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999.

(xxxii)         If the Depositor executed and delivered a written representation to any Rating Agency that it will take the actions specified in paragraphs (a)(3)(iii)(A)

 12

through (E) of Rule 17g-5, then the Depositor shall promptly post (or cause to be promptly posted) on the Rule 17g-5 website established by the Depositor or MSMCH or otherwise maintained pursuant to the PSA, promptly following receipt, any Form 15E received by it or MSMCH subsequent to the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Prospectus.

(b)        MSMCH represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Underwriters as follows:

(i)       It has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of New York, with the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;

 21

by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the depositor, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling toll free 1-866-718-1649 or by email to prospectus@ms.com.

(xi)      The Depositor and each Underwriter agree to retain all Free Writing Prospectuses that they have used and that are not required to be filed pursuant to this Section 4, and that have not been filed, for a period of three (3) years following the initial bona fide offering of the Offered Certificates.

(xii)     If the Depositor becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, the Preliminary Prospectus contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Depositor shall (i) notify the Underwriters thereof within one business day after discovery, (ii) prepare and deliver to the Underwriters a supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement or omission in the Preliminary Prospectus and that meets the requirements of Rule 424(h)(2) under the 1933 Act (such supplement, a “Corrected Supplement”) and (iii) file such Corrected Supplement with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(h) under the 1933 Act. Upon receipt of such notice from the Depositor, the Underwriters shall:

(xiii)    (A)       If the Depositor becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale or as of the Closing Date, any information in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Issuer Information contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or conflicted or conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement (a “Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), the Depositor shall notify the Underwriters of such untrue statement or

 22

omission or conflict within one business day after discovery and the Depositor shall, if requested by the Underwriters, prepare and deliver to the Underwriters a Free Writing Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement, omission or conflict in the Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (such corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”).

(B)         If any Underwriter becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale or as of the Closing Date, any information in an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus delivered to an investor in any Offered Certificates contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (a “Defective Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus” and, together with a Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Defective Free Writing Prospectus”), such Underwriter shall notify the Depositor of such untrue statement or omission within one business day after discovery.

(C)         The Underwriters shall, if requested by the Depositor:

(1)       if the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (and the defective information does not constitute Issuer Information), prepare a Free Writing Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement in or omission from the Defective Free Writing Prospectus (together with a Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Free Writing Prospectus”); provided that if an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus and Issuer Free Writing Prospectus are both determined to be a Defective Free Writing Prospectus as a result of the same untrue statement or omission in each such document, then the Issuer shall prepare a single Corrected Free Writing Prospectus correcting both such Defective Free Writing Prospectuses;

(2)       either (i) deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each investor that received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus prior to entering into a contract of sale with such investor, clearly identifying or highlighting the Corrective Information, or (ii) deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each investor that received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus and has entered into a contract of sale, clearly identifying or highlighting the Corrective Information, and (x) notify in writing each such investor in a prominent fashion that the prior contract of sale with such investor has been terminated, and of the investor’s rights as a result of termination of such agreement, and (y) provide each such investor with an opportunity to affirmatively agree to purchase the Offered Certificates on the terms described in the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus; and

 23

(3)       comply with any other requirements for reformation of the original contract of sale with such investor, as described in Section IV.A.2.c of the Commission’s Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591.

(D)         If the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (and the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was not defective based solely on an untrue statement or omission in Underwriter Information), and the Underwriters shall in good faith incur any costs to an investor in connection with the reformation of the contract of sale with the investor, the Depositor agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for such costs; provided that, before incurring such costs, the Underwriters first permit the Depositor access to the applicable investor and an opportunity to attempt to mitigate such costs through direct negotiation with such investor.

(xiv)   Each Underwriter covenants with the Depositor that after the Prospectus is available such Underwriter shall not distribute any written information concerning the Offered Certificates to a prospective investor unless such information is preceded or accompanied by the Prospectus.

5.            Covenants of the Depositor.

The Depositor covenants with each Underwriter as follows:

(a)       The Depositor will give each of the Underwriters prior written notice of its intention to prepare, use, authorize, approve, refer to or file any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or to file or prepare (i) any amendment to the Registration Statement at any time prior to the Closing Date or (ii) any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus (including any revised prospectus that the Depositor proposes for use by the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Offered Certificates and that differs from the prospectus on file at the Commission at the time the Registration Statement became effective, whether or not such revised prospectus is required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act) at any time during the period during which a prospectus is required to be delivered to purchasers of the Offered Certificates under the 1933 Act (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), and the Depositor will furnish the Underwriters with copies of any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or supplement a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not prepare, use, authorize, approve, refer to or file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or file any such amendment or supplement or use any such prospectus to which the Underwriters shall reasonably object.

(b)       The Depositor will promptly give each Underwriter written notice of (i) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has become effective (subject to paragraph (a) of this Section 5), (ii) any request by the Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information relating to the Depositor or the Offered Certificates, (iii) any written notification received by the Depositor of suspension of qualification of the Offered Certificates for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and (iv) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order

 24

suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or, to the knowledge of the Depositor, threatening any proceeding for that purpose. The Depositor will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(c)       If, at any time during the Prospectus Delivery Period any event occurs as a result of which the Preliminary Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, or the Prospectus to comply with the 1933 Act or the rules under the 1933 Act, the Depositor promptly will prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or omission or an amendment that will effect such compliance and, if such amendment or supplement is required to be contained in a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, will use its best efforts to cause such amendment of the Registration Statement to be made effective as soon as possible.

(d)       The Depositor will cause the Prospectus to be transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act by means reasonably calculated to result in filing with the Commission pursuant to said rule. Subject to Section 4 hereof, the Depositor will cause the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to be transmitted for filing pursuant to Rule 433 under the 1933 Act by means reasonably calculated to result in filing with the Commission pursuant to said rule.

(e)       The Depositor will furnish to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and each amendment and supplement thereto that shall become effective on or prior to the Closing Date and, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, as many copies of the Prospectus and any amendments and supplements thereto as the Underwriters may reasonably request. Prior to the date on which the Prospectus is available, the Depositor will furnish to the Underwriters and each counsel for the Underwriters, without charge as many copies of the Preliminary Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

(f)       The Depositor will furnish such information, execute such instruments and take such action, if any, as may be required to qualify the Offered Certificates for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may reasonably designate and will maintain such qualification in effect so long as required for the initial distribution of Offered Certificates; provided, that the Depositor shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

(g)       The Depositor will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Offered Certificates in the manner specified in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under “USE OF PROCEEDS.”

(h)       Whether or not the transactions contemplated in the PSA are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Depositor will pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident

 25

to the performance of the obligations of the Depositor under this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Depositor’s counsel and accountants in connection with the purchase and transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the issuance and sale of the Offered Certificates, (ii) the costs and expenses of preparing and delivering the PSA, the MLPAs and the other transaction documents to the parties thereto, (iii) the fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator (to the extent not otherwise payable under the PSA, and except to the extent that another party is obligated to pay such amounts thereunder), (iv) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration and delivery of the Offered Certificates under the 1933 Act, and all other fees or expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus and amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, including all printing costs associated therewith, and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers, in the quantities specified above, (v) the costs of printing or producing any “blue sky” memorandum in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Certificates under state securities laws and all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Offered Certificates for the offer and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 5(f) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such qualification and in connection with the “blue sky” memorandum, (vi) the cost of printing the Offered Certificates, (vii) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Offered Certificates to the Underwriters, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon, (viii) the upfront costs and charges of any custodian, transfer agent, registrar or depository (to the extent not otherwise payable under the PSA, and except to the extent that another party is obligated to pay such amounts pursuant to an agreement executed in connection with the issuance of the Certificates), (ix) the fees and expenses of the rating agencies incurred in connection with the issuance and sale of the Offered Certificates; and (x) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Depositor hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section. It is understood, however, that except as provided in Section 7 hereof or as otherwise agreed to by the parties, the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel.

(i)       The Depositor shall obtain a letter from a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm (reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters), satisfactory in form and substance to the Depositor and the Underwriters, to the effect that such accounting firm has performed certain specified procedures, all of which have been agreed to by the Depositor and the Underwriters, as a result of which it has determined that the information included in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus that such accounting firm has examined in accordance with such agreed upon procedures, is accurate except as to such matters that are not deemed by the Depositor or the Underwriters to be material.

(j)       The Depositor acknowledges and agrees that each Underwriter in providing investment banking services to the Depositor in connection with the offering, including in acting pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, has acted and is acting as an independent contractor and not as a fiduciary and the Depositor does not intend such Underwriter to act in any capacity other than independent contractor, including as a fiduciary or in any other position of higher trust.

(k)       The Depositor will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any materials used in a Road Show

 26

(as defined in Rule 433 of the 1933 Act) that are required to be retained by the Depositor pursuant to the 1933 Act, to the extent not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the 1933 Act.

(i)       it has performed certain specified procedures as a result of which it has determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature set forth in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, respectively, agrees with the data sheet or computer tape prepared by or on behalf of each Mortgage Loan Seller, unless otherwise noted in such letter; and

(ii)       it has compared the data contained in the data sheet or computer tape of the Mortgage Loan Sellers referred to in the immediately preceding clause (i) to information contained in the Mortgage Files of the Mortgage Loan Sellers and in such other sources as shall be specified by them, and found such data and information to be in agreement, unless otherwise noted in such letter.

 30

may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:

(i)          any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement (including the information included therein or deemed to be a part thereof) or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading; or

(ii)         any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (including, in each case, the Loan Detail and any Diskette (each as defined below)) or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading;

(iii)        any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (x) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or (y) any Issuer Information or information concerning the Mortgage Loans provided to the Underwriters by the Depositor contained in (1) any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, or (2) any Free Writing Prospectus that is required to be filed pursuant to Section 4(v)(C), Section 4(v)(D) or Section 4(viii) hereof (the items described in clauses (x) and (y) collectively, the “Issuer Disclosure Materials”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (when read in conjunction with the other Time of Sale Information conveyed to the subject investor), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which untrue statement or omission referred to above in this clause (iii) was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller to any Underwriter within a reasonable period of time prior to the Time of Sale (but not less than one (1) Business Day so that a Corrected Free Writing Prospectus could have been provided (electronically or otherwise));

(iv)        any breach of the representation and warranty in Section 1(a)(xxv), Section 1(a)(xxvi) or Section 1(b)(iv) hereof; or

(v)         any failure to timely satisfy the disclosure requirements of the Credit Risk Retention Rules with respect to the Securitization Transaction;

provided that in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, insofar as the Liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission with respect to any Underwriter Information, neither the Depositor nor MSMCH shall have any obligation to so indemnify and hold harmless; and provided, further, that neither the Depositor nor MSMCH shall have any obligation to so indemnify and hold harmless to the extent that the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission or an alleged untrue statement or omission with respect to the Mortgage Loan Seller Information, Transaction Party Information, Rialto Information or TPP Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Depositor and/or MSMCH may otherwise have. “Loan Detail” shall mean the information set forth in Annex A-1 and Annex A-2 to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus. “Diskette”

 31

shall mean the information set forth on any DVD, CD-ROM, diskette or other electronic media attached to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.

(b)           Each Underwriter shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, its directors and its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all Liabilities as incurred, but only with respect to Liabilities caused by any (i) untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact regarding such Underwriter in the Underwriter Information, or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein regarding such Underwriter, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which untrue statement or omission was not corrected by subsequent Underwriter Information supplied to the Depositor by such Underwriter prior to the Time of Sale to the applicable investor of Offered Certificates, or (ii) untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter, or omission or alleged omission to state in such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which untrue statement or omission was not corrected by a subsequent Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus supplied to the Depositor by such Underwriter prior to the Time of Sale to the applicable investor of Offered Certificates; provided that no Underwriter shall be obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless to the extent such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon (A) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission contained in or made in reliance on and in conformity with any Issuer Information, Mortgage Loan Seller Information, Transaction Party Information, Rialto Information or TPP Information, which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositor or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to any Underwriter within a reasonable period of time prior to the Time of Sale, or (B) information that is also contained in the Time of Sale Information, or (C) any errors in the mathematical calculations reflected in such Free Writing Prospectus to the extent such errors arise out of or are based upon errors in such Issuer Information, Mortgage Loan Seller Information, Transaction Party Information, Rialto Information or TPP Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c)           Each Underwriter (the “Indemnifying Underwriter”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Underwriters, their respective officers and directors, and each person, if any, who controls either such other Underwriter within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each such other Underwriter and its related officers, directors and controlling persons, collectively, a “Non-Indemnifying Underwriter”) from and against any and all Liabilities, joint or several, to which any such Non-Indemnifying Underwriter becomes subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact regarding the Indemnifying Underwriter contained in the Underwriter Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements regarding the Indemnifying Underwriter contained in the Underwriter Information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information) to state a material fact necessary in order to make the

 32

statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading at the Time of Sale, contained in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus or any other Free Writing Prospectus described in Section 4(vii) or (viii) hereof, in each case that was prepared (or, if not prepared by any Underwriter, was used, authorized or approved) by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Underwriter(s), or (iii) the failure of such Indemnifying Underwriter, or any member of its selling group, to comply with any provision of Sections 1(c)(v), (vi) and (viii), 2 and 4 hereof, and agrees to reimburse any such Non-Indemnifying Underwriter, as incurred for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided that the Indemnifying Underwriter(s) shall not be liable under this subsection (c) to any Non-Indemnifying Underwriter in respect thereof to the extent that the Non-Indemnifying Underwriter is entitled to indemnification or contribution for the subject loss, claim, damage, liability cost or expense (i) from another party pursuant to any separate indemnification agreement entered into by a Mortgage Loan Seller, a Transaction Party, Rialto or the TPP in favor of such Underwriter, or (ii) from the Depositor hereunder. No Underwriter shall be liable to another Underwriter or any officer, director or controlling person with respect to such other Underwriter under this Section 7(c) for any losses, liabilities, claims or damages arising out of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in any such document prepared by such other Underwriter. This agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.

(d)           Each indemnified party shall give notice in writing as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which it may have otherwise than under subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7. Upon request of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding as incurred. If any action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action. The indemnifying party may elect to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from the indemnified party. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iv) the indemnifying party shall have failed to designate within a reasonable period of time counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (in which case the fees and expenses shall be paid as incurred by the indemnifying party). In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances,

 33

and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. However, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel for which the indemnifying party is obligated under this subsection, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such settlement provides for an unconditional release of the indemnified party, in form and substance satisfactory to such indemnified party, and without any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act or on behalf of the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding, without the consent of the indemnified party.

(e)            If the indemnification provided for in subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7 is applicable in accordance with its terms with respect to one or more indemnifying parties, but is for any reason unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under such subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, each such indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the Liabilities referred to in such subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other from the offering of the Offered Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other in connection with the untrue statements or omissions or alleged untrue statements or omissions that resulted in such Liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Depositor on the one hand and an Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Offered Certificates under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor bear to the total underwriting discounts, commissions or other fees received by such Underwriter. The relative benefits received by an Underwriter on the one hand and another Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total underwriting discounts, commissions or other fees received by the first such Underwriter bear to the total underwriting discounts, commissions or other fees received by the other such Underwriter. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, if and to the extent applicable, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party on the one hand, or the indemnified party on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or omission.

 34

(f)            The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the considerations referred to in subsection (e) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Liabilities referred to in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal fees and disbursements or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, subject to the limitations provided in subsection (e) above. If any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party which made such payment. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (e) above or this subsection (f), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute or deemed to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (i) the total underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees received by such Underwriter in connection with the offering of the Offered Certificates exceeds (ii) the amount of damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this subsection (f), notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under this subsection (f).

(g)           No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(h)           The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Depositor, an Underwriter, any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the Depositor or such Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Certificates.

(i)             The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the respective amount of Offered Certificates they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

8.             Certain Provisions to Survive Delivery.

The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Depositor, MSMCH and the Underwriters as set forth in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigations (or any statements as to the results thereof) made in connection with the issuance of Certificates by or on behalf of the Underwriters or any officer or director or controlling person of an Underwriter, or the Depositor or MSMCH, or any officer, director or controlling person of the Depositor or MSMCH and shall survive delivery of and

 35

payment for the Certificates. The provisions of Sections 5(h), 7 and 10(c) hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

9.             Defaulting Underwriter.

(a)           If, on the Closing Date, any of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Certificates that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Offered Certificates which such defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Certificates to be purchased on such date, each other Underwriter shall be obligated to purchase a pro rata portion (based on the allocation set forth on Schedule I) of the Offered Certificates which such defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Offered Certificates that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to Section 2 hereof be increased pursuant to this Section 9 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Offered Certificates, without the written consent of such Underwriter, and provided, further, that no Underwriter shall be obligated under this Section 9 to purchase Offered Certificates of a Class that it is not otherwise obligated to purchase under this Agreement.

(b)           If, on the Closing Date, one of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Certificates that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Offered Certificates with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Certificates to be purchased on such date and arrangements satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Depositor for the purchase of such Offered Certificates are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or of the Depositor. In any such case any such non-defaulting Underwriter or the Depositor shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

10.           Termination of Agreement.

(a)           Any Underwriter may terminate its obligations under this Agreement, by notice to the Depositor, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date if the sale of the Offered Certificates provided for herein is not consummated because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Depositor to comply in all material respects with the terms, or to fulfill in all material respects any of the conditions of, this Agreement (including if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned in Section 6 hereof or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters), or if for any reason the Depositor shall be unable to perform in all material respects its obligations under this Agreement.

 36

(b)           The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Certificates shall be terminable by the Underwriters, in the absolute discretion of the Underwriters, by notice given to the Depositor and MSMCH, if at any time on or prior to the delivery of and payment for the Offered Certificates (i) any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Depositor or the Trust Fund which, in the judgment of the Underwriters, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Certificates, (ii) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, or the over-the-counter market, or minimum prices shall have been established on any such exchange, (iii) trading of any securities of the Depositor or its affiliates shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iv) any downgrading in the intended rating of any of the Offered Certificates by any Rating Agency shall have occurred, or any such ratings shall have been withdrawn, suspended or qualified, (v) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or State of New York authorities, or (vi) there shall have occurred any attack, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any act of terrorism, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, or any major disruption of settlement or clearance of securities in the United States that, in the judgment of such Underwriter, is material and adverse and, in the case of any of the events specified in the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (vi), such event singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in the judgment of the Underwriters, impracticable to market the Offered Certificates on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

(c)            If any Underwriter terminates its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 10(a), the Depositor shall reimburse such Underwriter upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Offered Certificates.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

The Depositor intends to sell commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes (each, a “Class”), which in the aggregate, together with the VRR Interest, will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust to be created hereunder, the primary assets of which will be a pool of commercial mortgage loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause an election to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust (exclusive of the Excess Interest and the proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account) for federal income tax purposes as two separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, and each a “Trust REMIC” as described herein).

In addition, the parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the interests underlying the Class V Certificates (as enumerated in the definition of such term) and the interests underlying the VRR Interest (as enumerated in the definition of such term) shall be classified as a trust under Section 301.7701-4(c) of the Income Tax Regulations, the beneficial owners of which (namely, the Holders of the Class V Certificates and the VRR Interest Owners) are treated as the owners of such underlying interests under Section 671 of the Code (such portions of the Trust Fund, the “Grantor Trust”). As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that (i) the Grantor Trust maintains its classification as a trust, (ii) the Holders of the Class V Certificates and the VRR Interest Owners continue to be treated as the owners of such portions of such trust’s assets, and (iii) the Grantor Trust is not treated as part of any Trust REMIC.

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates to the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers.

The Lower-Tier REMIC will also issue the uncertificated Class LR Interest, which is the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and is represented by the Class R Certificates.

The following table sets forth the Original Lower-Tier Principal Amounts and per annum rates of interest for the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LR Interest:

⁽²⁾ The Class LR Interest (evidenced by the Class R Certificates) will not have a Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, will not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges. Any Aggregate Available Funds remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account after distributing the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount will be deemed distributed to the Class LR Interest and shall be payable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates.

UPPER-TIER REMIC

Similarly, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that any P&I Advance with respect to a related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such determination shall not be binding on the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and related Non-Serviced Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan (unless the related Non-Serviced PSA provides otherwise).

-81- 

possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses, (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for any delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any outstanding Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the reimbursement of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such recovery, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the P&I Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination. Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance has been made or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) (and in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer). The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include

-82- 

any existing Appraisal of the related Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property). The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.

“Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance”: Any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property which the Trustee determines in its good faith business judgment, or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard, as the case may be, will not be ultimately recoverable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at the Reimbursement Rate, from Late Collections or any other recovery on or in respect of such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses, (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such recovery, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the reimbursement of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Servicing Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its

-83- 

good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination. Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance has been made or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either of the Special Servicer or Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) (and in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer); provided, that the Special Servicer may, at its option make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, to the related Other Master Servicer (and the Other Special Servicer if specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement), and with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer if specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination by the Special Servicer will be conclusive and binding upon the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement will not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse the determination of the Master Server or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination, that a Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Servicing Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal with respect to the related

-84- 

Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or related Mortgaged Property). The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided, that other than for Servicing Advances to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan. The determination as to the recoverability of any servicing advance or property protection advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be made by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA.

If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trust and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust.

(c)         Except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause each Assignment of Mortgage, each assignment of Assignment of Leases and each assignment of each UCC Financing Statement (collectively, the “Assignments” and each, individually, an “Assignment”) relating to the Mortgage Loans conveyed by it under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to be prepared in proper form for filing or recording, as applicable, and promptly (and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date and Seller’s actual receipt of the related documents and the necessary recording and filing information) submit such Assignments for filing or recording, as the case may be, in the applicable public filing or recording office. On the Closing Date, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver one (1) omnibus assignment for all such Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto to the Custodian as provided in Section 2.01(b). Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect that it (or a certified copy thereof) should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following recording or filing (or to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent who will then be responsible for delivery of the same to the Custodian or its designee). Any such Assignment received by the Custodian shall be promptly included in the related Mortgage File and be deemed a part thereof, and any such Assignment received by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent shall be required to be delivered to the Custodian to be included as part of the related Mortgage File within thirty (30) days after receipt. If any such document or instrument is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the recording or filing requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is to be recorded or filed, or is lost by the public office or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, on or about one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall prepare, at its own expense, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall, at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate. If, by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian has not received confirmation of the recording or filing as the case may be, of any such Assignment, it shall so advise the related Mortgage Loan Seller who may then pursue such confirmation itself or request that the Custodian pursue such confirmation at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, and upon such a request and provision for payment of such expenses satisfactory to the Custodian, the Custodian, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, shall cause a search of the land records of each applicable jurisdiction and of the records of the offices of the applicable Secretary of State for confirmation that the Assignment appears in such records and retain a copy

-142- 

of such confirmation in the related Mortgage File. In the event that confirmation of the recording or filing of an Assignment cannot be obtained, the Custodian or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, shall promptly inform the other and the Custodian shall provide such Mortgage Loan Seller with a copy of the Assignment and request the preparation of a new Assignment. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause (and pay the expenses for) the preparation of, and execute, replacement Assignments for any Assignments which, having been properly submitted for filing or recording to the appropriate governmental office by the Custodian, fail to appear of record and must be resubmitted. Notwithstanding the fact that such Assignments of Mortgages, assignments of Assignments of Leases (to the extent separate from the Assignments of Mortgages) and assignments of UCC financing statements shall name the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, as the assignee, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that for all purposes each Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to have been transferred from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor, and all Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to have been transferred from the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

(i)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of each of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers to deliver a Mortgage Note to the Custodian shall be limited to delivery of only the Mortgage Note held by such party to the Custodian.

With respect to each of the Initial Certification and the Final Certification, the Custodian shall have no duty to provide any certification with respect to any of the items specified in the first sentence of this paragraph that are not written in English.

(c)         The Custodian shall review the Mortgage Loan documents received subsequent to the Closing Date; and, on or about the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q-2, certify in writing to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any related Mortgage Loan as to which a Liquidation Event has occurred) or any related Mortgage Loan specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing) that, (i) subject to the final proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01 hereof, all documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (x) and (xii), if any, of the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession, (ii) the foregoing documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear to be executed and to relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on such examination and only as to the Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the related Mortgage Rate and stated maturity date, the street address (excluding zip code) of the Mortgaged Property set forth in the Mortgage

Such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall be held by the Master Servicer (i) until the date on which the Custodian determines and notifies the Master Servicer that such Material Defect has been cured or the related Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, at which time the Master Servicer shall return such funds (or letter of credit) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or (ii) until same are applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable) as set forth below in this Section 2.02(d) in the event of a repurchase or substitution by the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer certifies to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian that it has determined in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that the document with respect to which such Material Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the terms and conditions of Section 2.03(b) and Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to repurchase the Mortgage Loan for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice to repurchase (together with any applicable extension period) if it is attempting to recover the document from the applicable filing or recording office and provides an officer’s certificate setting forth what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with such recovery. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, upon the date of such repurchase or substitution, and in the event that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered a letter of credit to the Master Servicer in accordance with

-147- 

this Section 2.02(d), the Master Servicer shall, to the extent necessary, draw on the letter of credit and deposit the proceeds of such draw, into the Collection Account to be applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable, in which event, the amount of such funds or proceeds that exceed the Substitution Shortfall Amount shall be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller) in accordance with Section 2.03(b). All such funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments, at the direction and for the benefit of the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Such funds shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under the REMIC Provisions, which, together with any reimbursement from the Lower-Tier REMIC, is beneficially owned by the related Mortgage Loan Seller for federal income tax purposes, which Mortgage Loan Seller shall remain liable for any taxes payable on income or gain with respect thereto.

(e)         It is herein acknowledged that neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any of the documents specified in clauses (iii), (x), (xi), (xii), (xiv), (xv) and (xvii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers or any other Person or (ii) to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, duly authorized, sufficient to perfect and maintain the perfection of a security interest or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face and, with respect to the documents specified in clause (viii) of the definition of the “Mortgage File”, whether the insurance is effective as of the date of the recordation, whether all endorsements or riders issued are included in the file or if the policy has not been issued whether any acceptable replacement document has been dated the date of the related Mortgage Loan funding. Further, with respect to the UCC Financing Statements referenced in the Mortgage File, absent actual knowledge to the contrary or copies of UCC Financing Statements delivered to the Custodian as part of the Mortgage File indicating otherwise, the Custodian may assume, for the purposes of the filings and the certification to be delivered in accordance with this Section 2.02 that the related Mortgage File should include one state level UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement filing), or if the Custodian has received notice that a particular UCC Financing Statement was filed as a fixture filing, that the related Mortgage File should include only a local UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement filing). The assignments of the UCC Financing Statements to be assigned to the Trust will be delivered on the national forms (or on such other form as may be acceptable for filing or recording in the applicable jurisdiction) and in a format suitable for filing or recording, as applicable, and will be filed or recorded in the jurisdiction(s) where such UCC Financing Statements were originally filed or recorded, as indicated in the documents provided, and in accordance with then-current laws.

(f)          If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files or at any time thereafter, the Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File (1) not to have been properly executed, (2) subject to the timing requirements of Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c), not to have been delivered, (3) to contain information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or (4) to be defective on its face (each, a “Defect” in the related Mortgage File), the Custodian shall promptly so notify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (and in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date and every calendar quarter thereafter until all Defects are corrected) by providing a Custodial Exception Report setting forth for each affected Mortgage Loan, with particularity, the nature of such Defect (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and such Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were delivered by such Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for recording or filing and have not been returned by the recorder’s office or filing office).

(g)         If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (i) receives a Repurchase Request or any other request or demand from any Person for a Mortgage Loan Seller to repurchase or replace a Mortgage Loan because of an alleged Defect or Breach (together with a Repurchase Request, a “15Ga-1 Repurchase Request”) (the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent it receives such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, the “Repurchase Request Recipient” with respect to such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request); or (ii) receives any withdrawal of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request by the Person making such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request or any rejection of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (or such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request is forwarded to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by another party hereto), then the Repurchase Request Recipient shall deliver notice (which may be by electronic format so long as a “backup” hard copy of such notice is also delivered on or prior to the next Business Day) of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request or withdrawal or rejection of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (each, a “15Ga-1 Notice”) to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (other than in the case of a rejection by such Mortgage Loan Seller) and the Depositor, in each case within ten (10) Business Days from such Repurchase Request Recipient’s receipt thereof.

Each 15Ga-1 Notice shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request is received by the Repurchase Request Recipient or the date any withdrawal of the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request is received by the Repurchase Request Recipient, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (as asserted in the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request), (iv) the identity of the Person making such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, and (v) a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request.

A Repurchase Request Recipient shall not be required to provide any information in a 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements will provide that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided

-149- 

pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) is so provided only to assist the Mortgage Loan Sellers and Depositor or their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii) (A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Repurchase Request Recipient and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) by a Repurchase Request Recipient, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request Recipient may have with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

In the event that the Depositor, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, such party shall promptly forward or otherwise provide written notice of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a ‘15Ga-1 Repurchase Request’ under Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2017-C33, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C33 requiring action by you as the ‘Repurchase Request Recipient’ thereunder.” Upon receipt of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02(g) with respect to such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request. In no event shall the Custodian, by virtue of this provision, be required to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.

If the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives notice or has knowledge of a withdrawal or a rejection of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given, and such notice was not received from or copied to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then such party shall give notice of such withdrawal or rejection to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Any such notice received by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, Operating Advisor, Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian shall also be provided to the Depositor and, in the case of a withdrawal notice, to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan is repurchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall promptly notify the Depositor of such repurchase or replacement.

The parties hereto acknowledge the obligation of each Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 2 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, at its expense, to the Custodian five (5)

Each Mortgage Loan Seller has agreed to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. The Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall submit such documents for recording, at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not submit such assignments for recording if the related Mortgage Loan Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that such Mortgage Loan Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.

Defect in all material respects, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to this Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) (provided that (x) such affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan was not itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and (y) in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, and except with respect to a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to deliver a copy of an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the recorded document, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator every thirty (30) days thereafter that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, together with the portion of the Asset

-153- 

Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fees attributable to the Asset Review with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof), shall be remitted by such Mortgage Loan Seller by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. In the event the Special Servicer is required to enforce the Repurchase Request related to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan under this Section 2.03(b), within five (5) days of request by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of the Servicing File with respect to any such Non-Specially Serviced Loan.

If a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, agrees to a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, prior to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Special Servicer for deposit into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(g) of this Agreement. In connection with any Loss of Value Payment with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer, but in any event within the time frames and in the manner provided in Section 3.19 (as if such Mortgage Loan were subject to a Servicing Transfer Event), with the Servicing File and all information, documents and records relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer, and reasonably required by the Special Servicer to permit the Special Servicer to calculate the Loss of Value Payment, to the extent set forth in Section 3.19 (as if such Mortgage Loan were subject to a Servicing Transfer Event). 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 and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, VRR Interest Owners and the Trust regarding the related Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, provided that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

-154- 

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 12.02(b) to the extent not previously paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, that if the Breach relates to a Joint Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Loan Seller shall be responsible for its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of all such costs and expenses unless such Breach relates solely to the Mortgage Note contributed by such Mortgage Loan Seller. Subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, upon such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Periodic Payments due with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to the corresponding replaced Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution (but after the related Cut-off date), shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan on or prior to the Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a borrower), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.

Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, if there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage Loan Seller provides an opinion of

-155- 

counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

Upon any substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan related to the repurchase or substitution of the affected Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan will become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in all respects.

The repurchase or substitution of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement will be on a whole-loan, servicing released basis.

(c)         Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated above in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c), any of the following Defects shall be deemed to constitute a “Material Defect” to the extent the absence of the related document results from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s failure to deliver such document: (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage (or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a copy thereof) that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for by clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit; or (e) the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease, if the Mortgage Loan is secured solely by the related Ground Lease. No Defect relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously described in subclauses (b) through (e) of this Section 2.03(c) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders unless the related Mortgage Loan Seller, after receipt of notice of such Defect, is unable to produce a copy of the document with respect to which the Defect exists within a reasonable period after receiving such notice or otherwise establish that the original or copy, as applicable, of such document has been delivered, in compliance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, to the custodian under the related Non-Serviced PSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of executed escrow instructions or a binding commitment to issue a lender’s title insurance policy, as provided in clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File herein, in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender’s title insurance, shall not be considered a Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy is delivered to the Custodian not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise complied with its document delivery requirements under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Custodian has acknowledged

-156- 

receipt pursuant to Section 2.02 above of a document that is part of the Mortgage File or a Mortgage Loan Seller can otherwise prove delivery of the document, and the Custodian subsequently loses a document, the fact that such document is lost may not be utilized as the basis for a claim of a Material Defect against a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 5(a) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Section 2.03 and the Custodian shall be liable for any such loss to the extent provided for in Section 8.01 hereof. This Section 2.03(c) shall have no impact on any determination as to whether a Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan constitutes a Material Defect.

(d)         In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, upon (i) deposit of the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for such Mortgage Loan in the account designated therefor by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee as the assignee of Depositor (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee), (ii) if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of Depositor (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to Section 2.03(b) to be delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and (iii) delivery by the related Mortgage Loan Seller to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of a receipt executed by the related Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to (x) a release of the Mortgage File and any other items previously required to be delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) for the repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, (y) the execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and are reasonably necessary to vest in the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee the legal and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan (including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents, any portion of the related Servicing File and any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and any other items previously required to be delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c), held by or on behalf of the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and (z) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Mortgagor of such transfer of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan.

(e)         Section 5 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders (subject to the limitations on the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement), or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, with respect to any Material Defect.

-157- 

(f)          The Enforcing Servicer shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, if any, shall be carried out in the best interest of the Certificateholders in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall, to the extent not recovered from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, be deemed to be Servicing Advances to the extent not otherwise provided for herein. The Special Servicer shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, from a specific recovery, if any, of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; second, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vii) herein out of the related Purchase Price, to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and third, if at the conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clauses first and second are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(viii) herein out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account. Any costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees related to a repurchase of a Companion Loan shall be paid pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement or pursuant to the documents related to an Other Securitization, if applicable.

(g)         If a Mortgage Loan Seller incurs any expense in connection with the curing of a Breach that constitutes a Material Defect, which also constitutes a default under the related Mortgage Loan and is reimbursable thereunder, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have a right, and shall be subrogated to the rights of the Trustee and the Trust under the Mortgage Loan to recover the amount of such expenses from the related Mortgagor; provided, that such Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) shall be junior, subject and subordinate to the rights of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to recover amounts owed by the related Mortgagor under the terms of such Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, the rights to recover unreimbursed Advances, accrued and unpaid interest on Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, fees owed to the Special Servicer, and unpaid or unreimbursed expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, allocable to such Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to recover such expenses for such Mortgage Loan Seller to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, but taking into account the subordinate nature of the reimbursement to the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, that the Special Servicer determines in the exercise of its sole discretion consistent with the Servicing Standard that such actions by it will not impair its collection or recovery of principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the related Mortgage Loan that would otherwise be payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that the Special Servicer may waive the collection of amounts due on behalf of such Mortgage Loan Seller in its sole discretion in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

-158- 

(h)         If (i) any Crossed Underlying Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in this Section 2.03 and (ii) the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Defect shall be deemed to constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall repurchase or substitute for such other Crossed Underlying Loan(s) in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in Section 2.03(b) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan(s) as to which the related Material Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated among the related Crossed Underlying Loans in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Except as provided in this Section 2.03(h) and Section 2.03(i), all other terms of the related Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect without any modification thereof.

(i)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the related Mortgage provides for the partial release of one or more of the Crossed Underlying Loans, the Depositor may cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to repurchase only that Crossed Underlying Loan required to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.03, pursuant to the partial release provisions of the related Mortgage; provided, that (i) the remaining related Crossed Underlying Loan(s) fully comply with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage, this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria, (ii) in connection with such partial release, the related Mortgage Loan Seller obtains an Opinion of Counsel (at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and (iii) in connection with such partial release, the related Mortgage Loan Seller delivers or causes to be delivered to the Custodian original modifications to the Mortgage prepared and executed in connection with such partial release.

(j)          With respect to any Crossed Underlying Loan, to the extent that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for such Crossed Underlying Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 2.03(h) or (i) while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, as assignee of the Depositor, will, as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each will be permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective related Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as

-159- 

such exercise does not materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of the remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Underlying Loans held by such party, then both parties have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loan can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.

(k)         (i) In the event an Initial Requesting Holder delivers a written request to a party to this Agreement that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller alleging the existence of a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “Holder Repurchase Request”), such party shall promptly forward that Holder Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly forward the Holder Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.03(l), the Enforcing Servicer shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to a Holder Repurchase Request.

(ii)         In the event that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) or the Directing Certificateholder identifies a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan (without implying any duty of such person to make, or to attempt to make, such a discovery), that party shall deliver prompt written notice of such Material Defect to each other party to this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Seller identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “PSA Party Repurchase Request” and each of a Holder Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, the “Repurchase Request”). The Enforcing Servicer shall act as the Enforcing Party and enforce the rights of the Trust against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to a PSA Party Repurchase Request.

(iii)        In the event the Repurchase Request is not Resolved within 180 days after the Mortgage Loan Seller receives the Repurchase Request (a “Resolution Failure”), then the provisions described in Section 2.03(l) below shall apply. Receipt of the Repurchase Request shall be deemed to occur two (2) Business Days after the Repurchase Request is sent to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. A Resolved Repurchase Request shall not preclude the Special Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or as provided by law.

(iv)        Within 2 business days after a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan made by any person other than the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Master Servicer shall send a written notice (a “Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Special Servicer, indicating the Master

-160- 

Servicer’s analysis and recommended course of action with respect to such Repurchase Request, along with the Servicing File and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Loan and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to the extent set forth in this Agreement for such Non-Specially Serviced Loan. Upon receipt of such Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice and such Servicing File, the Special Servicer will become the Enforcing Servicer with respect to such Repurchase Request.

(l)          (i) After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial Requesting Holder or by a party to this Agreement), the Enforcing Servicer shall send a notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Holder, if any, to the address specified in the Initial Requesting Holder’s Repurchase Request, and to the Certificate Administrator (which shall be delivered via electronic mail to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com) who shall make such notice available to all Certificateholders, Certificate Owners and VRR Interest Owners by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Proposed Course of Action”). Such notice shall include (a) a request to Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners to indicate to the Enforcing Servicer their agreement with or dissent from such Proposed Course of Action and (b) a statement that in the event any Requesting Holder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer (if it is the Enforcing Party) will be compelled to follow the course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority of Requesting Holders, as provided below. The Certificate Administrator shall, within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the 30-day response period, tabulate the responses received from the Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners and share the results with the Enforcing Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall only count responses timely received that clearly indicate agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language shall not be taken into consideration for purposes of determining whether the related Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner agrees or disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to answer questions from Certificateholders or VRR Interest Owners regarding such Proposed Course of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator’s obligations in connection with this Section 2.03(l) shall be limited solely to tabulating Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner responses of “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action, and such obligation will not be construed to impose any enforcement obligation on the Certificate Administrator. The Enforcing Servicer may conclusively rely (without investigation) on the Certificate Administrator’s tabulation of the majority of the Voting Rights held by the responding Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to

-161- 

the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Holder, if any, or any other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Holder, if any, or any other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Holder, if any, or such other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 30 days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration. In the event any Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice, and the Enforcing Servicer has also received responses from other Certificateholders, Certificate Owners or VRR Interest Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, such responses will be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting the Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action approved by the majority of the Voting Rights held by the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners.

(ii)         If neither the Initial Requesting Holder, if any, nor any other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, no Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner shall have the right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer, as the Enforcing Party, shall be the sole party entitled to determine a course of action, including, but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08.

(iii)        Promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice from (a) the Initial Requesting Holder, if any, or (b) any other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner (each of clauses (a) and (b), a “Requesting Holder”), the Enforcing Servicer shall consult with each Requesting Holder regarding such Requesting Holder’s intention to elect either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Holder may consider the views of the Enforcing Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date. The Enforcing Servicer shall be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems in good faith to be appropriate relating to the timing and extent of such consultations. No later than five (5)

-162- 

Business Days after completion of the Dispute Resolution Consultation, a Requesting Holder may provide a final notice to the Enforcing Servicer indicating its decision to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration (“Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice”).

(iv)        If, following the Dispute Resolution Consultation, no Requesting Holder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then the Enforcing Servicer will continue to act as the Enforcing Party and will remain obligated under this Agreement to determine a course of action including, but not limited to, enforcing the rights of the Trust with respect to the Repurchase Request and no Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration.

(v)         If a Requesting Holder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such Requesting Holder shall become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. If multiple Requesting Holders timely deliver a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Holders shall collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Holders shall be entitled to make all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration (including whether to refer the matter to mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration). If, however, no Requesting Holder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then (i) the rights of a Requesting Holder to act as the Enforcing Party shall terminate and no Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer shall take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Material Defect shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, that such Material Defect shall not be deemed waived with respect to a Requesting Holder, any other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner or the Enforcing Servicer to the extent there is a material change in the facts and circumstances known to such party at the time when the Proposed Course of Action Notice was posted on Certificate Administrator’s Website, and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Enforcing Servicer shall again become the Enforcing Party and, as such, shall be the sole party entitled to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

(vi)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this Section 2.03(l) shall not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer shall remain the Enforcing Party, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to

-163- 

the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.

(vii)       In the event a Requesting Holder becomes the Enforcing Party, the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall remain a party to any proceedings against the related Mortgage Loan Seller as further described herein.

(i)          The mediation shall be administered by a nationally recognized mediation services provider selected by the related Mortgage Loan Seller which such selection shall be made within 30 days of receipt of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection of such nationally recognized mediation services provider (such provider, the “Mediation Services Provider”) in accordance with published mediation procedures (the “Mediation Rules”) promulgated by the Mediation Services Provider.

(ii)         The mediator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the state of New York and have at least fifteen (15) years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Mediation Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential qualified mediators by the Mediation Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference. The Mediation Services Provider shall select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)        Prior to accepting an appointment, the mediator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule.

-164- 

(iv)        The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct an organizational conference to begin the mediation within 10 Business Days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within 60 days thereafter.

(v)         The expenses of any mediation shall be allocated among the parties to the mediation including, if applicable, between the Enforcing Party and the Enforcing Servicer, as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation.

(n)         If the Enforcing Party selects third-party arbitration, the following provisions will apply:

(i)          The arbitration shall be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration services provider selected by the related Mortgage Loan Seller which such selection shall be made within 30 days of receipt of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection of such nationally recognized arbitration services provider (such provider, the “Arbitration Services Provider”) in accordance with published arbitration procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”) promulgated by the Arbitration Services Provider.

(ii)         The arbitrator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Arbitration Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential arbitrators by the Arbitration Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within 14 days and to rank the remaining potential arbitrators in order of preference. The Arbitration Services Provider will select the arbitrator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)        Prior to accepting an appointment, the arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule.

(iv)        After consulting with the parties at an organizational conference held not later than 10 Business Days after its appointment, the arbitrator shall devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within 120 days. The arbitrator shall have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with the Federal

-165- 

Rules of Civil Procedure for non-jury matters (the “Rules”) (including summary judgment and other prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so by reasoned decision on the motion of any party to the arbitration.

(v)         Notwithstanding whatever other discovery may be available under the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party to the arbitration will be presumptively limited to the following discovery in the arbitration: (A) the parties shall reasonably and in good faith voluntarily produce to all other parties all documents upon which they intend to rely and all documents they reasonably and in good faith believe to be relevant to the claims or defenses asserted by any of the parties, (B) party witness depositions (excluding Rule 30b-6 witnesses), and (C) expert witness depositions, provided that the arbitrator shall have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitrator determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.

(vi)        The arbitrator shall make its final determination no later than 30 days after the conclusion of the hearings and submission of any post-hearing submissions. The arbitrator shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, and may not modify or change those agreements in any way or award remedies not consistent with those agreements. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them. Interest on any monetary award shall bear interest from the date of the Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice at the Prime Rate. In its final determination, the arbitrator shall determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties to the arbitration as determined by the arbitrator in its reasonable discretion. The determination of the arbitrator shall be by a reasoned decision in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The final determination of the arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or state law, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(vii)       By selecting arbitration, the Enforcing Party is giving up the right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

(viii)      No person may bring a putative or certificated class action to arbitration.

(o)         The following provisions will apply to both mediation and third-party arbitration:

The arbitration proceedings shall not be stayed unless so ordered by the court.

(iii)        The details and/or existence of any Repurchase Request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 2.03, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to informally resolve any Repurchase Request, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 2.03). Such information will be kept strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed or shared with any third party (other than a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 2.03), except as otherwise required by law, regulatory requirement or court order. If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient shall promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and shall provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

(iv)        In the event a Requesting Holder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall contain an acknowledgment that the Enforcing Servicer on behalf of the Trust shall be a party to any arbitration or mediation proceedings solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing Party; provided that the degree and extent to which the Enforcing Servicer actively prepares for and participates in such proceeding shall be determined by such Enforcing Servicer in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (provided that a Consultation Termination Event has not occurred and is continuing) and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. All amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party shall be paid to the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall provide that in the event a Requesting Holder is allocated any related costs and expenses pursuant to the terms of the arbitrator’s decision or the agreement reached in mediation, neither the Trust nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf shall be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Holder.

-167- 

(v)         In the event a Requesting Holder is the Enforcing Party, the Requesting Holder is required to pay any expenses allocated to the Enforcing Party in the arbitration proceedings or any expenses that the Enforcing Party agrees to bear in the mediation proceedings.

(vi)        The Trust (or the Trustee or the Enforcing Servicer, acting on its behalf), the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller shall be permitted to redact any personally identifiable customer information included in any information provided for purposes of any mediation or arbitration. Each party to the proceedings shall be required to agree to keep confidential the details related to the Repurchase Request and the dispute resolution identified in connection with such procedures; provided, that (A) the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners shall be permitted to communicate prior to the commencement of any such proceedings to the extent provided in Section 5.06, (B) to the extent that the Enforcing Servicer is required under Section 2.02 to provide any 15Ga-1 Notice in connection with such Repurchase Request, the Enforcing Servicer shall be permitted to include in such 15Ga-1 Notice the information required pursuant to Section 2.02(g) and (C) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be permitted to disclose information related to the Repurchase Request to the extent necessary to comply with its obligations under Rule 15Ga-1 or Item 1104 of Regulation AB.

(vii)       For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the exercise of any right of a Requesting Holder to refer a Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration or participation in such mediation or arbitration affect in any manner the ability of the Special Servicer to perform its obligations with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan (including without limitation, a liquidation, foreclosure, negotiation of a loan modification or workout, acceptance of a discounted pay off or deed in lieu, or bankruptcy or other litigation) or the exercise of any rights of a Directing Certificateholder.

(viii)      In the event that the method of dispute resolution selected is unsuccessful, the Requesting Holder may not elect to then utilize the alternative method.

(ix)         Any expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in mediation or arbitration or related responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement shall be reimbursable as additional trust fund expenses.

(p)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of each of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers to repurchase or substitute with respect to a Material Defect with respect to the related Mortgage Loan shall be limited to a repurchase or substitution with respect to the Mortgage Note it sold to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall act in accordance with the Servicing Standard with respect to any action required to be taken regarding the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans pursuant to their obligations under this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.19, the Special Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer (i) any Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans as to which a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing (each, a “Specially Serviced Loan”) or as otherwise provided herein with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans in connection with any Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision and (ii) any REO Properties (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties); provided that the Master Servicer shall continue to receive payments and make all calculations, and prepare, or cause to be prepared, all reports, required hereunder with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans, except for the reports specified herein as prepared by the Special Servicer, as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to the REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred, and to render such services with respect to such Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for herein; provided, further, that the Master Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Special Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Master Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Special Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder.

Any provision in this Agreement for any Advance by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such Person the risk of loss with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loans. No provision hereof shall be construed to impose liability on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for the reason that any recovery to the Certificateholders or the VRR Interest Owners in respect of a Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery is less than the amount reflected in such determination.

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

-173- 

Special Servicer, as applicable, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard) prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding), and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity)) or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be required to be registered to do business in any state.

(c)         To the extent the Master Servicer is permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) to exercise its discretion with respect to any action which requires Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), the Master Servicer shall require the costs of such Rating Agency Confirmation to be borne by the related Mortgagor. To the extent the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) require the Mortgagor to bear the costs of any Rating Agency Confirmation or confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), the Master Servicer shall not waive the requirement that such costs and expenses be borne by the related Mortgagor. To the extent that the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) are silent as to who bears the costs of any Rating Agency Confirmation or confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses.

(g)         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) make a Servicing Advance with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan to the extent the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or is no longer included in the Trust Fund.

(h)         Servicing and administration of each Serviced Companion Loan shall continue hereunder and in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement for so long as the corresponding Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property is part of the Trust Fund or for such longer period as is contemplated by the related Intercreditor Agreement and, to the extent consistent with the related Intercreditor Agreement, as any amounts payable by the related Companion Holder to or for the benefit of the Trust or any party hereto in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement remain due and owing.

(i)          The Special Servicer agrees that upon the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is subject to or becomes subject to an Intercreditor Agreement in the future, it shall, subject to Section 3.19, use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, on behalf of the Trust, subject to the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Special Servicer determines such action is in the best interests of the Trust, all rights conveyed to the Trustee pursuant to any such Intercreditor Agreement. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with such enforcement shall be paid as a Trust Fund expense or, subject to the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pro rata and pari passu, by the Trust and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in accordance with the respective Stated Principal Balances of the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or (ii) with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, first, by the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan and then, pro rata and pari passu, by the Trust and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in accordance with the respective Stated Principal Balances of the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

(j)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the servicing and administration of a Serviced Whole Loan shall continue hereunder (but not with respect to making Advances) even if the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, until such time as a separate servicing agreement is entered into in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (it being acknowledged that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated under a separate agreement to which it is not a party); provided that, other than pursuant to Section 6.04 (and, with respect to Section 6.04, solely with respect to claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with a legal claim or action resulting from an action or inaction taken or not taken while the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan was part of the Trust Fund), no costs, expenses, losses or fees accruing with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan on and after the date the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund shall be payable

-176-

With respect to Servicing Advances made by any Other Servicer as contemplated in the proviso to the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall, from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan (but never out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) received by the Master Servicer, reimburse the Other Servicer for such Servicing Advances in the same manner and on the same level of priority as if such Servicing Advances had been made by the Master Servicer hereunder.

(k)         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are limited by and subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect thereto under the related Non-Serviced PSA. The Master Servicer (or, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer) shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standards to enforce the rights of the Trustee (as holder of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and Non-Serviced PSA.

(l)          The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and further acknowledge that, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement, (i) the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is to be serviced and administered by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA, and (ii) in the event that (A) the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund created by the related Non-Serviced PSA and (B) the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, then, as set forth in the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement, the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA, until such time as a new servicing agreement has been agreed to by the parties to the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the provisions of such agreement and confirmation has been obtained from the Rating Agencies that such new servicing agreement would not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any Class of Certificates then outstanding.

(m)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan are limited by, and subject to, the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Master Servicer (or, if a Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer) shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain the benefits of the rights of the Trust (as holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan) under the related Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

(n)         In connection with the securitization of a Servicing Shift Control Note, while it is a Serviced Companion Loan, upon the request of (and at the expense of) a related Serviced Companion Noteholder (or its designee), each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer (if such Serviced Companion Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan) and the Trustee, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Serviced Companion Noteholder in attempting to cause the related Mortgagor to provide information relating to such Whole Loan and the related notes, and that such holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, for inclusion in any disclosure document(s) relating to the applicable Other Securitization.

(o)         For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee have any obligation or authority to (a) supervise any related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator or Non-Serviced Trustee or (b) make Servicing Advances with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The obligation of the Master Servicer to provide information and collections and make P&I Advances to the Certificate Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or collections from the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer.

Section 3.02     Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard); provided that with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has an Anticipated Repayment Date, so long as the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests for collection, until the Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan or until the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any portion representing accrued Excess Interest) has been paid in full); provided, further, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to

-178- 

enforce the Trust’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan that it is obligated to service hereunder three (3) times during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan one additional time in such 24-month period so long as with respect to any of the foregoing waivers, no Advance or additional expense of the Trust has been incurred and remains unreimbursed to the Trust with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan. Any additional waivers during such 24-month period with respect to such Mortgage Loan may be made, subject to the Servicing Standard, only after the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, given notice of a proposed waiver to the Directing Certificateholder and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder has consented to such additional waiver (provided that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within five (5) days of giving such notice, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver); provided, further, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive any Penalty Charge in accordance with the Servicing Standard without the consent of the Directing Certificateholder; provided, further, that the Directing Certificateholder shall have no consent rights with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan with respect to the foregoing waivers.

(b)         (i) All amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of a Mortgage Loan shall be applied to amounts due and owing under the Mortgage Loan documents (including for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of the Mortgage Loan documents; provided, that absent express provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) or to the extent otherwise agreed to by the related Mortgagor in connection with a workout of a Mortgage Loan, all amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of a Mortgage Loan in the form of payments from the related Mortgagor, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds under the Mortgage Loan (in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, exclusive of amounts payable to any applicable Companion Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement) shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(ii)         Collections by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of any REO Property (exclusive of the amounts to be allocated to the payment of the costs of operating, managing, leasing, maintaining and disposing of such REO Property and, if applicable, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, exclusive of any amounts payable to the holder of the related Companion Loan(s), as applicable, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, the Companion Loan documents. Any Servicing Account related to a Serviced Whole Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners and the related Serviced Companion Noteholder collectively, but this shall not be construed to modify respective interests of either noteholder therein as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. Amounts on deposit in Servicing Accounts may only be invested in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and Companion Loan documents, or in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06.

If allowed by the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor an administrative fee for maintenance of the Servicing Accounts.

(b)         The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Serviced Mortgage Loans and each Serviced Companion Loan, shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof. The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Serviced Mortgage Loans and each Serviced Companion Loan, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof from the REO Account or by the Master Servicer as Servicing Advances prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items, employing for such purpose Escrow Payments (which shall be so applied by the Master Servicer at the written direction of the Special Servicer in the case of REO Loans) as allowed under the terms of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan. Other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall service and administer any reserve accounts (including monitoring, maintaining or changing the amounts of required escrows) in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, and the Servicing Standard. To the extent that a Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan, as applicable, does not require a Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans, and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other such Mortgage Loans or Companion Loan, as applicable, that it is responsible for servicing hereunder, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to comply with its obligation to make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items.

(c)         In accordance with the Servicing Standard and for each Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable) and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Mortgagor (or related REO Revenues, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and provided, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and provided, further, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make such advance until the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, has received confirmation that such item has not been paid and (ii) the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue

-185- 

in respect of such taxes or assessments. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer and the Trustee no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property; provided, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis; provided, further, that, other than for Servicing Advances to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request to the Special Servicer, in which case the Special Servicer shall remit such Servicing Advances to the ultimate payees. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances; provided that in an urgent or emergency situation requiring the making of a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer may make a Servicing Advance in its sole discretion. Within five (5) Business Days of making such a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer a request for reimbursement for such Servicing Advance, along with all information and documentation in the Special Servicer’s possession regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of the Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) made by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of interest shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Special Servicer within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence and any information the Master Servicer reasonably requests in order to make a recoverability determination. Upon the Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the Special Servicer of any Servicing Advance and payment to the Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.03, the Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Servicing Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer actually made such Servicing Advance, and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such Servicing Advance, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made such Servicing Advance at the time the Special Servicer did. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer out of its own funds for, or to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall instead be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement.

-186- 

Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination, provided that the determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer or Trustee. On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer determines any Servicing Advance previously made by the Master Servicer is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and such a determination shall be binding upon the Master Servicer and the Trustee If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion of, and not all of, any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the Certificate Administrator’s calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans, related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, so permit. If the Master Servicer fails to make any required Servicing Advance as and when due (including any applicable cure periods), to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 7.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. In addition, the Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer may in its good faith judgment elect (but shall not be required unless directed by the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by a Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) (which shall be deemed first made from amounts distributable as principal and then from all other amounts comprising general collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below notwithstanding that the Master Servicer (or Special Servicer, as applicable) has determined that a Servicing Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that in

-187- 

each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) that making such expenditure is in the best interest of the Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Companion Holders), all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any related Companion Loans). The Master Servicer or Trustee may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances from the Trust pursuant to the terms of Section 3.17(c). The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer is obligated to make servicing advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA) in the manner set forth in the applicable Non-Serviced PSA and the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement.

(d)         In connection with its recovery of any Servicing Advance out of the Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Trustee, the Special Servicer and then the Master Servicer, as the case may be and in that order, shall be entitled to receive, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Servicing Advance from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Subject to Section 3.17(c), the Master Servicer shall reimburse itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding Servicing Advance as soon as practically possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) subject to the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts as provided herein; provided, that such Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts shall not alter the Master Servicer’s obligation to reimburse the Special Servicer for any outstanding Servicing Advance as provided for in this sentence. To the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account with respect to the related Companion Loan are insufficient for any such reimbursement, the Master Servicer shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to enforce the rights of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain any reimbursement available from the holder of the related Companion Loan.

(e)         To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation thereof within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which plan is required to be established or completed. To the extent any repairs, capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation of such actions and remediations

-188- 

within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which action or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed. To the extent a Mortgagor shall fail to promptly respond to any inquiry described in this Section 3.03(e), the Master Servicer shall report any such failure to the Special Servicer within a reasonable time after the date as of which actions or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements, the Master Servicer need not deposit into the Collection Account any amount that the Master Servicer would be authorized to withdraw immediately from such account in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 and shall be entitled to instead immediately pay such amount directly to the Person(s) entitled thereto; provided that such amounts shall be applied in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be reported as if deposited in such Collection Account and then withdrawn.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, actual payments from Mortgagors in the nature of Escrow Payments, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, assumption fees, modification fees, extension fees, defeasance fees, amounts collected for Mortgagor checks returned for insufficient funds or other amounts the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account.

Assumption, extension and modification fees actually received from Mortgagors on Specially Serviced Loans shall be promptly delivered to the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Upon receipt of any of the foregoing amounts in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer shall remit within one (1) Business Day such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, in accordance with this Section 3.04(a); provided, that to the extent any of the foregoing amounts are received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on any given Business Day, the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such amounts within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such amount, but, in any event, the Special Servicer shall remit such amounts to the Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such amount.

Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the REO Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for each period from and including any Distribution Date to and including the immediately succeeding P&I Advance Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Special Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.14(c). In the event that any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment (as to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, would have been entitled to any Net Investment Earnings hereunder) directed to be made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and on deposit in any of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Servicing Account, the REO Account or the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any other Servicing Account, escrow account or reserve account maintained by or for the Master

-208- 

Servicer), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) shall deposit therein, no later than the P&I Advance Date, without right of reimbursement, the amount of Net Investment Loss, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account at the time such investment was made (and, with respect to the Master Servicer, such federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company is not an Affiliate of the Master Servicer unless such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualification set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at the time the investment was made and (y) thirty (30) days prior to such insolvency).

(c)          Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Master Servicer may and, upon the request of Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

Section 3.07     Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a)  The Master Servicer (with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall use its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain, and the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties related to Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall maintain, to the extent required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage Loan documents except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default (and except as provided in the next sentence with respect to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable). If any Mortgage Loan documents permit the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or, with respect to REO Property, the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall impose or maintain, as applicable, such insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing Standard taking into account the insurance in place at the closing of the Mortgage Loan, provided that the Master Servicer will be obligated to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts unless the Mortgagor’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by the Master Servicer (with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control

-209- 

Termination Event (subject to the DCH Limitations)) and only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. If the Mortgagor does not so maintain such insurance coverage, subject to its recoverability determination with respect to any required Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties related to Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall maintain all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage, but only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates, as determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard. In addition, upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to any individual triggering event, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Risk Retention Consultation Party (only with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan that is not an Excluded RRCP Loan) within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08 in connection with any such determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default. All Insurance Policies maintained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall (i) contain a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), including any related Serviced Companion Loan, other than REO Properties) or to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (ii) be in the name of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (iii) include coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing Mortgaged Property or the REO Property, as applicable, and (y) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions, (iv) include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction for depreciation (unless such endorsement is not permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents), (v) be noncancelable without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the insured party (except in the case of nonpayment, in which case such policy shall not be cancelled without ten (10) days prior notice) and (vi) subject to the first proviso in the second sentence of this Section 3.07(a), be issued by a Qualified Insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such Insurance Policies. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer under any such Insurance Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan documents) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies in respect of Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) (other than REO Properties and other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (i) if the Mortgagor

-210- 

defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account) and will be charged to the related Mortgagor and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan (if any), notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by the Special Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies with respect to REO Properties shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account). The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07 shall apply to any Serviced Whole Loan as if it were a single “Mortgage Loan”. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will not be required to maintain, and will not be in default for failing to obtain, any earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and is currently available at commercially reasonable rates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan that either (x) require the Mortgagor to maintain “all risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable Mortgagor to maintain insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) reasonably requires from time to time in order to protect its interests, the Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, (A) monitor in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the insurance policies for the related Mortgaged Property contain Additional Exclusions; provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon certificates of insurance in determining whether such policies contain Additional Exclusions, (B) request the Mortgagor to either purchase insurance against the risks specified in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance and (C) notify the Special Servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge (such knowledge to be based upon the Master Servicer’s compliance with the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) above) that any Mortgagor fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (B) above. If the Master Servicer (with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, it shall notify the other such party and shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to

-211- 

rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of such Master Servicer) in determining whether Additional Exclusions exist. Furthermore, the Master Servicer (with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall promptly deliver such conclusions in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the ten (10) highest outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust. During the period that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder and/or upon the request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, consulting (on a non-binding basis) with the Risk Retention Consultation Party upon the request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will not be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain (or its failure to maintain) such insurance and will not be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure, and will not itself maintain such insurance or cause such insurance to be maintained.

(b)          (i)  If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, but excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), as the case may be, required to be serviced and administered hereunder, then, to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause fire and hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties. Such Insurance Policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a fire and hazard Insurance Policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such Insurance Policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of such loss or losses that would have been covered under the individual policy but are not covered under the blanket Insurance Policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan), or in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as administrator and Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners, claims under any such blanket Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. The Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, may maintain earthquake insurance on REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), provided coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates, the cost of which shall be a Servicing Advance.

-212- 

(ii)          If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a master single interest or force-placed insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer naming the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee as the loss payee, then to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause such insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties and REO Properties. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such master single interest or force-placed insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. Such master single interest or force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy had it been maintained, deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the master single or force-placed interest policy because of such deductible clause, to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan, including any related Serviced Companion Loan, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.

(c)          Each of the Master 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 with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, officers’ and employees’ misappropriation of funds or errors or omissions in connection with its activities under the Agreement. Such amount of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Coverage of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.07(c). The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall furnish upon request to the Trustee copies of all binders and policies or certificates evidencing that such bonds, if any, and insurance policies are in full force and effect.

(d)          At the time the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan is in a federally designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available), the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause

-213- 

the related Mortgagor (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan documents) to maintain, and, if the related Mortgagor shall default in its obligation to so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest therein), flood insurance in respect thereof, but only to the extent the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan permits the mortgagee to require such coverage and the maintenance of such coverage is consistent with the Servicing Standard. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. If the cost of any insurance described above is not borne by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall promptly make a Servicing Advance for such costs (or pay such amounts from the Collection Account if it determines such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance).

(e)          During all such times as any REO Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall be located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Special Servicer will cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) and with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan that is not an Excluded RRCP Loan, upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, upon non-binding consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder (in either such case, in accordance with the Servicing Standard and Section 6.09)), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less than the sum of (i) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended and (ii) such additional amounts as are sufficient to provide coverage for the value of improvements related to the Mortgaged Property that are located within a federally designated special flood hazard area. The cost of any such flood insurance with respect to an REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (or from the Collection Account if it determines such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance).

(f)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term debt obligations or the deposit account or claims-paying ability of the Master Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent) or the Special Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent), as applicable, is rated at least “A3” by Moody’s, “A-” by Fitch and “A(low)” by DBRS (if then rated by DBRS), the Master

-214- 

Servicer (or its public parent) or the Special Servicer (or its public parent), as applicable, shall be allowed to provide self-insurance with respect to any of its obligation under this Section 3.07.

(g)          Each of the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer 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 with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s errors or omissions.

Section 3.08     Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. (a)  As to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause, which by its terms:

(i)           provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or

(ii)          provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan may not be assumed without the consent of the mortgagee in connection with any such sale or other transfer;

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement and subject to the processing and consent procedures specified in Section 3.36, the Special Servicer shall determine (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or, to the extent such action is a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan) in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard (or, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, to the extent such action is not a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall determine in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, whether to (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to grant or withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right to exercise such rights, provided that, (A) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a Major Decision, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall (I) subject to the DCH Limitations, obtain the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder, in each case if, as and to the extent required under Section 6.08, and (II) consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party if, as and to the extent required under Section 6.08, and (B) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (I) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, (II) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding or (III) together with all other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted or together with all other Mortgage Loans with the same Mortgagor (or an Affiliate thereof), that is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans or Crossed Mortgage Loan Groups outstanding (by Stated

-215- 

Principal Balance), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, prior to consenting to any action, shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (provided, that no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Mortgage Loan has a Stated Principal Balance of $10,000,000 or less) and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any); provided, that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with any request for Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency pursuant to this Section 3.08(a), the party processing the related servicing action shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such Review Package on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the 17g-5 information provider under the related Other Securitization, in each case in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Rating Agency Confirmation described in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor; provided that if the Mortgage Loan documents are silent as to who bears the costs of obtaining any such Rating Agency Confirmation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to make the related Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. Unless determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, such costs not collected from the related Mortgagor shall be advanced as a Servicing Advance.

If any Serviced Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of the mortgagee; provided that certain conditions are satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), related Serviced Companion Loans, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether such conditions have been satisfied, or, with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan which does not allow the mortgagee discretion in approving a transfer or assumption or does not allow for discretion in determining whether conditions to a transfer or assumption have been satisfied, the

-216- 

Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as mortgagee of record, shall make such determination with respect to whether such conditions have been satisfied.

(b)          As to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause, which by its terms:

(i)           provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or

(ii)          requires the consent of the mortgagee to the creation of any such additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor;

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement and subject to the processing and consent procedures specified in Section 3.36, the Special Servicer shall determine (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or, to the extent such action is a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan) in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard (or, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, to the extent such action is not a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall determine in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, whether to (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to grant or withhold its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive its right to exercise such rights, provided that, (A) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a Major Decision, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall (I) subject to the DCH Limitations, obtain the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder, in each case if, as and to the extent required under Section 6.08, and (II) consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party if, as and to the extent required under Section 6.08, and (B) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (I) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to 2% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding, (II) that has a combined loan-to-value ratio greater than 85% (based upon any and all existing and proposed debt), (III) that has a combined debt service coverage ratio less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate debt service on the related Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan, if any, and the debt service on the proposed additional lien), (IV) together with all other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted or together with all other Mortgage Loans with the same Mortgagor (or an Affiliate thereof), that is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans or Crossed Mortgage Loan Groups outstanding (by Stated Principal Balance), or (V) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, the Master Servicer or the Special

-217- 

Servicer, as the case may be, prior to consenting to any action, shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (provided, that no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Mortgage Loan has a Stated Principal Balance of $10,000,000 or less) and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any); provided, that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with any request for Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency pursuant to this Section 3.08(b), the party processing the related servicing action shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such Review Package on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the 17g-5 information provider under the related Other Securitization, in each case in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Rating Agency Confirmation described in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor; provided that if the Mortgage Loan documents are silent as to who bears the costs of obtaining any such Rating Agency Confirmation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to make the related Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. Unless determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance such costs not collected from the related Mortgagor shall be advanced as a Servicing Advance.

If any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee provided that certain conditions are satisfied and there is no lender discretion with respect to the satisfaction of such conditions, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine whether such conditions have been satisfied, or, with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Loans which do not allow the mortgagee discretion in determining whether conditions are satisfied, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall make such determination with respect to whether such conditions have been satisfied.

-218- 

(c)          Nothing in this Section 3.08 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

(d)          Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08(a) and (b) and/or Section 3.18, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, in connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.08. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide copies of any final waivers (except with respect to provision of any such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider, exclusive of any Privileged Information) it effects pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) to each other and to the 17g-5 Information Provider with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such documents on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) and, with respect to a Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement.

(e)          Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, if there is a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph 30 or paragraph 32 in Exhibit 2 thereto, and as a result the payments, by a Mortgagor, of reasonable costs and expenses associated with securing the consent or approval of the holder of the Mortgage for a waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause or the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan are insufficient such that the Trust incurs an additional trust fund expense in an amount equal to such reasonable costs and expenses not paid by such Mortgagor, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse the Trust within ninety (90) days of the receipt of notice of such breach in an amount sufficient to avoid such additional trust fund expense (and, if applicable, to pay the amount of any fees and expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer related to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan not previously paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller).

(f)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer may not waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause without the consent of the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer may not waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause relating to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan or relating to any Specially Serviced Loan without (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations), but prior to a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof). The Directing Certificateholder shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice along with the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s recommendation and analysis with respect to such proposed waiver or proposed granting of

-219- 

consent and any additional information the Directing Certificateholder may reasonably request from the Special Servicer of a proposed waiver or consent under any “due on sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause in which to grant or withhold its consent (provided that if the Special Servicer fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within such period, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver or consent).

(g)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, makes a determination under Sections 3.08(a) or 3.08(b) hereof that the applicable conditions in the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents, as applicable, with respect to assumptions or encumbrances permitted without the consent of the mortgagee have been satisfied, the applicable assumptions and transfers may be subject to an assumption or other fee, unless such fees are otherwise prohibited pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents; provided that any such fee not provided for in the Mortgage Loan documents does not constitute a “significant” change in yield pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(e)(2).

Section 3.09     Realization Upon Defaulted Loans and Companion Loans. (a)  Upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents related to a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide written notice to the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, with a copy of such notice to the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, Section 3.24, subject to the Directing Certificateholder’s rights pursuant to Section 6.08, the Risk Rentention Consultation Party’s rights pursuant to Section 6.08, and any Companion Holder or mezzanine lender’s rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, on behalf of the holders of the beneficial interest of the related Companion Loan) or this Agreement, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing any such Serviced Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if any, as come into and continue in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not be required to make a Servicing Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such property unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners after reimbursement to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not determined that such Servicing Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided that, in each case, such cost or expense would not, if incurred,

-220- 

constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make an offer on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment taking into account the factors described in Section 3.16(b) and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence, all such offers to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan or any related defaulted Companion Loan, whether for purposes of making an offer at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to such property by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

(b)          The Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.09 unless either:

(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 Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust (to the extent not allocable to the related Companion Loan) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and such Opinion of Counsel may be premised on the designation hereby of any such personal property as being deemed part of an “outside reserve fund” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h)) with the owner of such personal property for federal income tax purposes to be designated at such time).

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09 and Section 3.24, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and/or any related Companion Holder, would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee) the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an Environmental Assessment of such Mortgaged Property performed by an Independent Person who regularly conducts Environmental Assessments and performed within six (6) months prior to any such acquisition of title or other action, that:

(i)           such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the

-221- 

best economic interest of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, VRR Interest Owners and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance with such laws, and

(ii)          there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently effective federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such hazardous materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, VRR Interest Owners and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

The cost of any such Environmental Assessment shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance and the cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance, unless it is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (in which case it shall be an expense of the Trust and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be withdrawn in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement by the Master Servicer from the Collection Account, including from the Companion Distribution Account (such withdrawal to be made from amounts on deposit therein that are otherwise payable on or allocable to such Serviced Whole Loan)); and if any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Special Servicer shall, except with respect to any Companion Loan and any Environmental Assessment ordered after such Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, perform such additional environmental testing at the expense of the Trust as it deems necessary and prudent to determine whether the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence have been satisfied. With respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, the Master Servicer and, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall review and be familiar with the terms and conditions relating to enforcing claims and shall monitor the dates by which any claim or action must be taken (including delivering any notices to the insurer and using reasonable efforts to perform any actions required under such policy) under each environmental insurance policy in effect and obtained on behalf of the mortgagee to receive the maximum proceeds available under such policy for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests).

(d)          If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above establishes that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) above of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced

-222- 

Companion Loan, and (ii) there has been no breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 4 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements for which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller could be required to repurchase such Defaulted Loan pursuant to Section 5 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or with respect to any Serviced AB Mortgage Loan, after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and subject to the DCH Limitations), with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, provided that, if such Mortgage Loan has a then-outstanding principal balance of greater than $1,000,000, then prior to the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder, in writing of its intention to so release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have posted such notice of the Special Servicer’s intention to so release such Mortgaged Property to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and (iii) in addition to the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder as required above, the Holders of Certificates and VRR Interest Owners entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights shall have consented or have been deemed to have consented to such release within thirty (30) days of the Certificate Administrator’s posting such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website (failure to respond by the end of such 30-day period being deemed consent of such parties). To the extent any fee charged by any Rating Agency in connection with rendering such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is to be an expense of the Trust; provided that the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

(e)          The Special Servicer shall provide written reports and a copy of any Environmental Assessments in electronic format to the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan), the Master Servicer and the 17g-5 Information Provider monthly regarding any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan, or defaulted Companion Loan as to which the environmental testing contemplated in subsection (c) above has revealed that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied, in each case until the earlier to occur of satisfaction of both such conditions, repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.

(f)           The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting to the Internal Revenue Service and shall

-223- 

provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan that is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the Internal Revenue Service and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via Form 1099A or Form 1099C (or any successor form), all forgiveness of indebtedness and abandonment and foreclosure to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

(g)          The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of the maintenance of an action to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of the Mortgage Loan (and if applicable, the related Companion Loan) permit such an action.

(h)          The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by one of its Servicing Officers, of each Final Recovery Determination in respect of a Defaulted Loan (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or defaulted Companion Loan or any REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery Determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate promptly delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to any Excluded RRCP Loan) and the Master Servicer and in no event later than the next succeeding P&I Advance Determination Date.

Section 3.10    Trustee and Certificate Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. (a)  Upon the payment in full of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, will promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian and request delivery of the related Mortgage File. Any such notice and request shall be in the form of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer and shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or remitted to the Master Servicer to enable such deposit, have been or will be so deposited. Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as release can reasonably be accomplished if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer notifies the Custodian of an exigency) of receipt of such notice and request, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that in the case of the payment in full of a Serviced Companion Loan or its related Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File shall not be released by the Custodian unless the related Serviced Whole Loan is paid in full. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.

-224- 

(b)          From time to time as is appropriate for servicing or foreclosure of any Serviced Mortgage Loan (and any related Companion Loan), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File or any document therein to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be. Upon return of such Mortgage File or such document to the Custodian, or the delivery to the Trustee and the Custodian of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, stating that such Mortgage Loan (and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan), was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account (including amounts related to the related Companion Loan, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or will be so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Custodian to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be, with the original being released upon termination of the Trust.

(c)          Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as delivery can reasonably be accomplished if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of receipt thereof, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note (including any note evidencing a related Companion Loan) or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. The Special Servicer shall be responsible for the preparation of all such documents and pleadings. When submitted to the Trustee for signature, such documents or pleadings shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. The Trustee shall not be required to review such documents for their sufficiency or enforceability.

(d)          If, from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer requests delivery to it of the original Mortgage Note for a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, then the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such original Mortgage Note to such Non-Serviced Master Servicer or its designee.

Section 3.11     Servicing Compensation. (a)  As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan (and any successor REO Loan) (including

-225- 

Specially Serviced Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan constituting a “specially serviced loan” under any related Non-Serviced PSA). As to each such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee with respect to any such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, except that if such Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Whole Loan and such Serviced Whole Loan continues to be serviced and administered under this Agreement notwithstanding such Liquidation Event, then the applicable Servicing Fee shall continue to accrue and be payable as if such Liquidation Event did not occur. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Revenues allocable as interest on each such REO Loan, and as otherwise provided by Section 3.05(a). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of any such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Loan out of that portion of related payments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and REO Revenues (in the case of an REO Loan) allocable as recoveries of interest, to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a).

Except as set forth in the following sentence, the fourth paragraph of this Section 3.11(a), Section 6.03, Section 6.05 and Section 7.01(c), the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part (except in connection with a transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s duties and obligations hereunder to a successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof or as provided in the following paragraph with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee). With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Master Servicer from amounts payable in respect of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement.

The Master Servicer and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), in either case, to any Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Plan); provided, that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit TT-1 attached hereto, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit TT-2 attached hereto. None of the Depositor, the

-226- 

Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Certificate Registrar shall have any obligation to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right without registration or qualification. The Master Servicer and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and the Master Servicer hereby agrees, and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Securities Act or other applicable federal and state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose such information in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act. From time to time following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Master Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or any successor REO Loan with respect thereto to which the Excess Servicing Fee Right relates, shall pay, out of the Servicing Fee paid to the Master Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or any successor REO Loan, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fee to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fee to the Master Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to the Master Servicer. The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right.

With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a), additional servicing compensation in the form of the following amounts to the extent collected from the related Mortgagor:

(i)           100% of any defeasance fees actually collected during the related Collection Period in connection with the defeasance of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, if applicable (provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, any such

-227- 

defeasance fee shall not include any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement);

(ii)          (x) 50% of Excess Modification Fees actually collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) and paid in connection with a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (whether or not processed by the Master Servicer) and (y) 100% of Excess Modification Fees actually collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement and that do not involve a Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision;

(iii)         (x) 100% of assumption fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement and that do not involve a Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, and (y) 50% of assumption fees and other similar items collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) in connection with a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (whether or not processed by the Master Servicer);

(iv)         100% of assumption application fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) for which the Master Servicer is processing the underlying assumption transaction (whether or not consent of the Special Servicer is required);

(v)          (x) 100% of consent fees on Serviced Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement and that do not involve a Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, and (y) 50% of consent fees on Serviced Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) in connection with a consent that involves a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (whether or not processed by the Master Servicer);

(vi)         any and all amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds on all Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans;

(vii)        100% of charges for beneficiary statements or demands actually paid by the Mortgagors under the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan other than any Specially Serviced Loan;

-228- 

(viii)       the excess, if any, of Prepayment Interest Excesses (to the extent not payable by the Master Servicer as a Compensating Interest Payment) over Prepayment Interest Shortfalls arising from any principal prepayments on the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans; and

(ix)          Penalty Charges paid by the Mortgagors and accrued while the related Serviced Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans were not Specially Serviced Loans but only to the extent not applied to other amounts pursuant to Section 3.11(d).

In addition, with respect to the Collection Account, Companion Distribution Account or other account maintained by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Specially Serviced Loan) 100% of charges for beneficiary statements or demands and other customary charges, amounts collected by the Master Servicer for checks returned for insufficient funds and reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, in each case only to the extent actually paid by the related Mortgagor and shall not be required to deposit such amounts in the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b), respectively. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d), (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date), (iii) interest or other income earned on deposits in the Servicing Accounts which are not required by applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan to be paid to the Mortgagor, and (iv) the difference, if positive, between Prepayment Interest Excesses (to the extent not payable by the Master Servicer as a Compensating Interest Payment) and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls collected on the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, during the related Collection Period to the extent not required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the Collection Account and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

With respect to any of the preceding fees as to which both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right in their sole discretion, but not any obligation, to

reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion of such fee; provided, that (A) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the portion of any such fee due to the other and (B) to the extent either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion in any such fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge its respective portion of such fee will not have any right to share in any part of the other party’s portion of such fee. If the Special Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Master Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had charged a fee and the Special Servicer will not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association may, at its option, assign or pledge to any third party or retain for itself the Excess Servicing Fee Rights; provided, that in the event of any resignation or termination of such Master Servicer, all or any portion of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights may be reduced by the Trustee to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to obtain a qualified successor master servicer that meets the requirements of Section 6.05 and who requires market-rate servicing compensation that accrues at a per annum rate in excess of the Retained Fee Rate, and any such assignment of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall, by its terms be expressly subject to the terms of this Agreement and such reduction. The Master Servicer shall pay the Excess Servicing Fee to the holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights at such time and to the extent the Master Servicer is entitled to receive payment of its Servicing Fees hereunder, notwithstanding any resignation or termination of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer hereunder (subject to reduction pursuant to the preceding sentence).

(b)          As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and Serviced REO Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Loan relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property). As to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.05(a). The right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

-230-

(ii)          50% of Excess Modification Fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) and that involve a Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (whether or not processed by the Special Servicer);

(iii)         (x) 100% of assumption fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans that are Specially Serviced Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan), and (y) 50% of assumption fees and other similar items collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan), in connection with a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (whether or not processed by the Special Servicer);

(iv)         100% of assumption application fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, if applicable) for which the Special Servicer is processing the underlying assumption transaction;

(v)          100% of waiver, consent and earnout fees and similar fees on any Specially Serviced Loan or certain other similar fees paid by the related borrower;

(vi)         50% of waiver, consent and earnout fees on Serviced Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) in connection with a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (whether or not processed by the Special Servicer);

(vii)        100% of charges for beneficiary statements or demands related to the REO Accounts, Loss of Value Reserve Fund and any other account maintained by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement; and

(viii)       Penalty Charges paid by the Mortgagors and accrued while the related Mortgage Loans were Specially Serviced Loans but only to the extent not applied to other amounts pursuant to Section 3.11(d).

-231- 

Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d) and (ii) interest or other income (including charges for beneficiary statements or demands and other customary charges, amounts collected by the Special Servicer for checks returned for insufficient funds) earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the REO Account and the Loss of Value Reserve Fund in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date). In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to charge any Mortgagor for, and retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, and only to the extent actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Corrected Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan; provided, that after receipt by the Special Servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Loan in an amount equal to $25,000, any Workout Fees in excess of such amount shall be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount received by the Special Servicer; provided, further, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout calculated at the Workout Fee Rate is less than $25,000, then the Special Servicer shall be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) equal to $25,000. The Workout Fee shall be reduced (but not below zero) with respect to each collection on such Corrected Loan from which fee would otherwise be payable until an amount equal to the Excess Modification Fee Amount has been deducted in full. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans or any related Companion Loan that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. If the Special Servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Loans for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had determined to grant a forbearance or cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three consecutive timely Periodic Payments. The successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The Special

-232- 

Servicer will not be entitled to receive any Workout Fees after termination for cause. A Liquidation Fee will be payable with respect to (a) each Specially Serviced Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) as to which the Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and (b) each Mortgage Loan repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller (or for which a Loss of Value Payment was made), in each case, subject to the exceptions set forth in the definition of Liquidation Fee (such Liquidation Fee to be paid out of such Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds). If, however, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds are received with respect to any Corrected Loan and the Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest on such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to proceeds on any Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Companion Loan, the Liquidation Fee, Workout Fee and Special Servicing Fees, if any, will be computed as provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement or to the extent such Intercreditor Agreement is silent or refers to this Agreement or indicates such fees are paid in accordance with this Agreement, as provided herein as though such Companion Loan were a Mortgage Loan. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer will also be entitled to additional fees in the form of Penalty Charges. The Special Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts, other than management fees in respect of REO Properties, due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not expressly payable directly out of the Collection Account or the REO Account, and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

With respect to any of the preceding fees as to which both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right in their sole discretion, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion of such fee; provided, that (A) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the portion of any such fee due to the other and (B) to the extent either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion in any such fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge its respective portion of such fee will not have any right to share in any part of the other party’s portion of such fee. If the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer will not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer.

-233- 

(d)          In determining the compensation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate Penalty Charges collected on any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan since the prior Distribution Date shall be applied (in such order) to reimburse (i) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee for interest on Advances on such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, if applicable (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee for interest on the Servicing Advances made by any such party with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement) due on such Distribution Date, (ii) the Trust for all interest on Advances previously paid to the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) hereof (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related trust for all interest on Servicing Advances reimbursed by such trust to any party under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, which resulted in an additional expense for the Trust, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, if applicable and (iii) the Trust for all additional expenses of the Trust (other than Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees), including without limitation, inspections by the Special Servicer and all unpaid Advances incurred since the Closing Date with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or, if provided under the related Intercreditor Agreement, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan). Penalty Charges (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, which shall be payable as additional servicing compensation under the related Non-Serviced PSA) remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Master Servicer, if and to the extent accrued while such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan was a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, and to the Special Servicer, if and to the extent accrued on such Mortgage Loan during the period such Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan. Any Penalty Charges paid or payable as additional servicing compensation to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be distributed between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, on a pro rata basis, based on the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s respective entitlements to such compensation described in the previous sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Penalty Charges with respect to any Companion Loan will be allocated pursuant to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement after payment of all related Advances and interest thereon and additional expenses of the Trust in accordance with this Section 3.11(d).

(e)          With respect to each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days following the Determination Date, and the Master Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received, to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and on the related Remittance Date, an electronic report (which may include HTML, Word or Excel compatible format, clean and searchable PDF format or such other format as mutually agreeable between the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer) that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if any, with respect to such

-234- 

Distribution Date; provided that no such report shall be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.

(f)           The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Mortgagor, any property manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Mortgage Loan and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.11; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.

(g)          Pursuant to the CREFC^® License Agreement, CREFC^® shall be paid (according to the payment instructions set forth on Exhibit JJ hereto or such other payment instructions as CREFC^® may provide to the Master Servicer in writing at least two Business Days prior to the Remittance Date) the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee on a monthly basis. The Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and, to the extent sufficient funds are on deposit therein, pay the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee to CREFC^® in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(xii) on a monthly basis, from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

(h)          If a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the related Controlling Companion Loan Securitization Date, the Special Servicer shall service and administer the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan and any related REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property and shall be entitled to all rights and compensation earned with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan during the period for which it acts as Special Servicer of such Servicing Shift Whole Loan. With respect to each Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the related Controlling Companion Loan Securitization Date, no other special servicer will be entitled to any such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan is still a Specially Serviced Loan on the related Controlling Companion Loan Securitization Date, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect to the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan as if the Special Servicer were being terminated as Special Servicer and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer were replacing it as the successor special servicer. Upon receipt of notice of its termination as Special Servicer with respect to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer in connection with the servicing transition of the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan on and after the related Controlling Companion Loan Securitization Date.

Section 3.12     Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements. (a)  The Master Servicer shall perform (at its own expense), or shall cause to be performed (at its own expense), a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property relating to a Serviced Mortgage Loan (other

-235-

The cost of such inspection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust, and, to the extent not paid by the related Mortgagor, reimbursed first from Penalty Charges actually received from the related Mortgagor and then from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii), provided that, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, such cost shall be payable, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pro rata and pari passu, from the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in accordance with their respective Stated Principal Balances, in each case, prior to being payable out of general collections. The Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of each such inspection detailing the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection and specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy at the Mortgaged Property that the preparer of such report has knowledge of and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, deems material, (ii) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, (iii) any adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, and that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, deems material, (iv) any visible material waste committed on the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection and (v) photographs of each inspected Mortgaged Property.

The Master Servicer may concurrently with the delivery of the related CREFC^® Schedule AL File, deliver any related Schedule AL Additional File in EDGAR-Compatible Format to the Certificate Administrator. The CREFC^® Schedule AL File and the Schedule AL Additional File shall each be a single file. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be required to combine multiple CREFC^® Schedule AL Files or Schedule AL Additional Files, unless, solely with respect to the Master Servicer, multiple Sub-Servicers prepare and submit such CREFC^® Schedule AL Files or Schedule AL Additional Files to the Master Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to review, redact, reconcile, edit or verify the content, completeness or accuracy of the information contained in any CREFC^® Schedule AL File or any Schedule AL Additional File. The Certificate Administrator shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of the contents of any CREFC^® Schedule AL File or any Schedule AL Additional File solely by virtue of its receipt thereof.

In connection with the foregoing, in the absence of manifest error, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, without investigation or inquiry, any information and reports delivered to it by any third party, and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the Master Servicer’s reports and the Special Servicer’s reports and any information provided by the Trustee, without any duty or obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate any of the amounts and other information stated therein.

(e)          The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer the reports and information required of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c), and the Master Servicer shall deliver or make available to the Certificate Administrator the reports and data files set forth in Section 3.12(d). The Master Servicer may, absent manifest error,

-240- 

conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c). The Certificate Administrator may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(d). In the case of information or reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.12(d), to the extent that such information or reports are, in turn, based on information or reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) and to the extent that such reports are to be prepared and delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c), the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to provide such information or reports to the Certificate Administrator until it has received the requisite information or reports from the Special Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing the reports required by Section 3.12(d) caused by the Special Servicer’s failure to timely provide any information or report required under Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement.

(f)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by this Section 3.12 shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.12 to the extent the Master Servicer or Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer may disclose any such information or any additional information to any Person so long as such disclosure is consistent with applicable law and the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).

(g)          Unless otherwise specifically stated herein, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required to deliver any statement, report or information under any provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may satisfy such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such statement, report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or information in a commonly used electronic format or (z) making such statement, report or information available on the Master Servicer’s website (with respect to items delivered by the Master Servicer) or the Certificate Administrator’s Website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver any required statements, reports or other information to the Certificate Administrator in an electronic format mutually agreeable to the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may physically deliver a paper copy of any such statement, report or information as a temporary measure due to system problems, however, copies in electronic format shall follow upon the correction of such system problems.

Section 3.13     Access to Certain Information. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide or cause to be provided to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall afford access to any Mortgage Loan Seller and to any Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner that is a federally insured financial institution, the OCC, the FDIC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any such Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner and to each Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate, access to any documentation or information regarding the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a portion of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan, and the Trust within its control which may be required by applicable law. At the election of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, such access may be afforded to such Person identified above by the delivery of copies of information as requested by such Person and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to require payment (other than from the Directing Certificateholder and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator on its own behalf or on behalf of the Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners, as applicable) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by it in making such copies. Such access shall (except as described in the preceding sentence) be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian.

The failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.13 as a result of a confidentiality obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.13. In connection with providing information pursuant to this Section 3.13, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer may each (i) affix a reasonable disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto); (ii) affix to any information provided by it a reasonable statement regarding securities law restrictions on such information and/or condition access to information on (x) the execution of a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit X, or (y) execution of a “click-through” confidentiality agreement if such information is being provided through the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s website; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and/or (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan if the disclosure of such items is prohibited by applicable law or the provisions of any related Mortgage Loan documents or would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by it pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard, that such disclosure would violate applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans or the Mortgaged

-242- 

Properties, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or otherwise materially harm the Trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may refrain from disclosing information that it reasonably determines would prejudice the interest of the Certificateholders with respect to a workout or exercise of remedies as to any particular Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in the next succeeding paragraph but subject to the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner (or with respect to any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, the holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) that has delivered an Investor Certification to the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may provide (or make available electronically) at the expense of such Certificateholder, VRR Interest Owner or holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, copies of any appraisals, operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements (in each case, solely relating to the related Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced AB Whole Loan, if requested by the holder of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, as the case may be) obtained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that, in connection with such request, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, generally to the effect that such Person will keep such information confidential and shall use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder, VRR Interest Owner or holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, may have under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (other than as permitted in the preceding paragraph with respect to any Certificateholder or as specifically provided for herein with respect to the Directing Certificateholder), unless required by applicable law or court order, no Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner shall be given access to, or be provided copies of, the Mortgage Files or Diligence Files.

-248- 

Certificate Administrator shall segregate on the Certificate Administrator’s Website such Excluded Information (and, if possible at a later time, on loan-by-loan basis) from information relating to other Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans, as applicable. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving, requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which such party is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available to such party on the Certificate Administrator’s Website because of such party’s Excluded Controlling Class Holder status, such party shall be permitted to obtain such information from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with Section 4.02(f) of this Agreement. The provisions in this Section 3.13(b) shall not limit the Master Servicer’s ability to make accessible certain information regarding the Mortgage Loans at a website maintained by the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively assume that the Directing Certificateholder and all beneficial owners of the Certificates of the Controlling Class are not Excluded Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any communication to the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder or disclosure of any information relating to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan (including any related Excluded Information delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website) if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, did not receive prior written notice that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Loan and/or, with respect to any related Excluded Information posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, such information was not delivered to the Certificate Administrator in accordance with Section 3.34.

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B that it is not or is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. To the extent the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such Excluded Information, such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any such Excluded Information to (A) the related Borrower Party, (B) any related Excluded Controlling Class Holder, (C) any employees or personnel of such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder or any of its

-249- 

Affiliate involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (D) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above.

To the extent the Risk Retention Consultation Party or a VRR Interest Owner receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any information solely related to a Mortgage Loan with respect to which such party is a Borrower Party (which shall include any Asset Status Reports, Final Asset Status Reports (or summaries thereof) and inspection reports related to Specially Serviced Loans conducted by the Special Servicer, and which may include any Operating Advisor reports delivered to the Certificate Administrator regarding the Special Servicer’s net present value determination or any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations delivered pursuant to Section 3.26(e), and any Officer’s Certificates delivered by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, supporting any determination that any Advance was (or, if made, would be) a Nonrecoverable Advance, but in each case other than information with respect to such Mortgage Loan that is aggregated with information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level), on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such information, such Risk Retention Consultation Party or VRR Interest Owner shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any such information to (A) the related Borrower Party, (B) any employees or personnel of such Risk Retention Consultation Party or VRR Interest Owner or any of its Affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (C) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above. For the avoidance of doubt, any file or report contained in the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package (CREFC® IRP) (other than the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File relating to any such applicable Excluded RRCP Loan) shall be considered information that is aggregated with information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level.

(g)           The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be permitted (but not obligated) to orally communicate with the Rating Agencies regarding any of the Mortgage Loan documents and any other matter related to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgaged Properties, the related Mortgagors or any other matters relating to this Agreement or related Intercreditor Agreement; provided that such party summarizes the information provided to the Rating Agencies in such communication in writing and provides the 17g-5 Information Provider with such written summary in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.13(c) the same day such communication takes place; provided, further that the summary of such oral communications shall not identify which Rating Agency the communication was with. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such written summary on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.13(c).

(h)          The Special Servicer, subject to the limitations on delivery of Privileged Communications, shall deliver to the Operating Advisor and the Risk Retention Consultation Party such reports, notices and other information produced or otherwise available to the Directing Certificateholder (other than, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, any Asset Status Reports that are not Final Asset Status Reports and any Major Decision Reporting Package with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan), or Certificateholders generally, requested by the Operating Advisor in support of the performance of its obligations under this Agreement in electronic format.

(i)            None of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 3.13 or otherwise in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict oral or written communications, or providing information, between the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and any Rating Agency or NRSRO, on the other hand, with regard to (i) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s review of the ratings it assigns to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (ii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s approval of the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a commercial mortgage master, special or primary servicer, or (iii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s evaluation of the Master Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, servicing operations in general; provided that the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not provide any information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans, to any Rating Agency or NRSRO in connection with such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency or NRSRO unless (x) Mortgagor, property and other deal specific identifiers are redacted; (y) such information has already been provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider and has been uploaded on to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website or (z) the Rating Agency confirms that it does not intend to use such information in undertaking credit rating surveillance with respect to the Certificates (and the party providing such information to a Rating Agency shall, upon request, certify to the Depositor that it received the confirmation described in this clause (z) or provide the Depositor with a copy of such

-256- 

confirmation from the applicable Rating Agency); provided, that the Rating Agencies may use information delivered under this clause (z) for any purpose to the extent it is publicly available (unless the availability results from a breach of this Agreement) or comprised of information collected by the applicable Rating Agency from the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website (or another 17g-5 information provider’s website that they have access to) other than pursuant to this Section 3.13(i).

(j)            The costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 3.13 by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and any other party hereto shall not be additional expenses of the Trust, but shall be borne by the applicable party hereto.

Section 3.14     Title to REO Property; REO Account.  (a) If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired (directly or through a single member limited liability company established for that purpose) and thus becomes REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued in the name of the Trust where permitted by applicable law or regulation and consistent with customary servicing procedures, and otherwise, in the name of the Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion Holders, in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan. REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.14. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer either (i) applies for a qualifying extension of time no later than sixty (60) days prior to the close of the third calendar year in which it acquired ownership (or the period provided in the then applicable REMIC Provisions) and such extension is granted or is not denied (an “REO Extension”) by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property or (ii) obtains for the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which acquisition occurred will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. If the Special Servicer is granted or not denied the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

(b)           The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general

-257- 

assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more REO Accounts, held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners and, if applicable, on behalf of any related Companion Holder(s), as applicable, as their interest shall appear, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), for the retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property. The REO Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the REO Account, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified and available funds, all REO Revenues, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of an REO Property. Funds in the REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the Master Servicer of the location of the REO Account when first established and of the new location of the REO Account prior to any change thereof.

(c)           The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management, insuring, leasing, maintenance and disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in the REO Account relating to such REO Property. On the later of the date that is (x) on or prior to each Determination Date or (y) two (2) Business Days after such amounts are received and properly identified and determined to be available (or, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on the Business Day preceding each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date), the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer which shall deposit into the Collection Account (or the Companion Distribution Account, as applicable), the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each REO Property during the Collection Period ending on such Determination Date, net of (i) any withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence and (ii) Net Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the REO Account; provided, that the Special Servicer may retain in such REO Account, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, such portion of such balance as may be necessary to maintain a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, leasing, management and tenant improvements and other related expenses for the related REO Property. In addition, on or prior to the day the Special Servicer remits funds as provided in this Section 3.14(c), the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with a written accounting of amounts remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, as applicable, on such date. The Master Servicer shall apply all such amounts received by the Master Servicer as of the Determination Date as instructed by the Special Servicer (or with respect to an REO Loan that is a successor to a Serviced Companion Loan, on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date) for the related Distribution Date.

(d)           The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records, on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits to, and withdrawals from, the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(b) or Section 3.14(c).

Section 3.15     Management of REO Property. (a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect, operate and lease such REO

-258- 

Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and the related Companion Holders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) solely for the purpose of its timely disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust or any Serviced Companion Noteholder of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or result in an Adverse REMIC Event. Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection therewith as are in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners (and, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s)) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loan, as the case may be) (as determined by the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.15. Subject to this Section 3.15, the Special Servicer may allow the Trust or any commercial mortgage securitization that holds any Serviced Companion Loan to earn “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(d) of the Code if it determines that the net-after tax benefit to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner and, if applicable, any related Companion Holder(s), as a collective whole, could reasonably be expected to be greater than another method of operating or net leasing the Mortgaged Property. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis (and in no event later than two (2) Business Days following receipt of such properly identified and available funds) in the applicable REO Account all revenues received by it with respect to each REO Property and the related REO Loan, and shall withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing and maintenance of such REO Property, including, without limitation:

(i)            all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;

(ii)           all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;

(iii)          any ground rents in respect of such REO Property, if applicable; and

(iv)          all costs and expenses necessary to maintain and lease such REO Property.

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer (subject to receiving notice from the Special Servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate

-259- 

Administrator and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder) such advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances.

(b)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:

(i)            permit the Trust to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

(ii)           permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;

(iii)          authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv)          Directly Operate, or allow any other Person, other than an Independent Contractor, to Directly Operate, any REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after its acquisition date;

unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held for the benefit of the Trust, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

(c)          The Special Servicer shall contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property within ninety (90) days of the acquisition date thereof, provided that:

(i)            the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm’s length;

(ii)           the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be an expense of the Trust) shall be reasonable and customary in light of the nature and locality of the Mortgaged Property;

(iii)          any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including, without limitation, those

-260- 

listed in subsection (a) hereof, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;

(iv)          none of the provisions of this Section 3.15(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(v)           the Special Servicer shall be obligated to manage and supervise such Independent Contractor in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(d)          When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO Property in accordance with Sections 3.15(a) and 3.15(b).

Section 3.16     Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties. (a) (i) Within thirty (30) days after a Defaulted Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) an Appraisal and within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Appraisal shall determine the fair value of such Defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, that if the Special Servicer is then in the process of obtaining an Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall make its fair value determination as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days) after its receipt of such an Appraisal. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, adjust its fair value determination based upon changed circumstances, new information and other relevant factors, in each instance in accordance with a review of such circumstances and new information in accordance with the Servicing Standard including, without limitation, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy; provided that the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer in writing of the initial fair value determination and any adjustment to its fair value determination.

(ii)           If any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement is a Specially Serviced Loan or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, then the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) or the Master Servicer (with respect to a

-261- 

Non-Specially Serviced Loan) shall promptly notify in writing the other, any related Companion Holder and any related mezzanine lender, as applicable, of any events requiring notice under the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Thereafter, any related Companion Holder and related mezzanine lender, as applicable, will, notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, have the option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan and cure defaults relating thereto as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(iii)          If any Mortgage Loan not subject to an Intercreditor Agreement becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, or if the related Companion Holder or related mezzanine lender, as applicable, for any such Mortgage Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement has not previously exercised the option to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners and the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder. In the case of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, under certain limited circumstances permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent that such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the Special Servicer will be entitled to sell (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and subject to the DCH Limitations) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners and, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the liquidation fee that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer would have otherwise been entitled to in connection with the sale of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Directing Certificateholder (subject to the DCH Limitations) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. In the absence of a cash offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, the Special Servicer may purchase the Defaulted Loan for the Purchase Price or may accept the highest cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Loan.

(iv)         (A) In the case of a Specially Serviced Loan which is a continuing Defaulted Loan, in the absence of any offer at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the Special Servicer for such price), the Special Servicer may solicit offers and, subject to subclause (B) below, accept the highest offer

-262- 

received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Loan, if the offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. In determining whether any highest offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. If the highest offeror is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine whether the offer constitutes a fair price unless such offer by an Interested Person (i) is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price and (ii) is the highest offer received. Absent an offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (x) it is the highest offer received and (y) at least one other offer is received from an independent third party. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall rely on the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any Appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole 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 fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable by, the Interested Person; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. The Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Specially Serviced Loan.

(B)       The Special Servicer will not be obligated to accept the first or highest offer if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (unless a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to the DCH Limitations) and, upon request, the Risk Retentation Consultation Party (subject to limitations on the consultation in accordance with Section 6.08) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder), in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Intercreditor Agreement), that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and the VRR Interest Owners and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders, VRR Interest Owners and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer from any Person other than the Special Servicer or an Affiliate if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates, the VRR Interest Owners and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder 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 to sell all Defaulted Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any fair value determination, to the extent required to do so pursuant to this Section 3.16, on the basis of anything other than the related Appraisal.

(v)           Unless and until any Specially Serviced Loan is sold pursuant to this Section 3.16(a), the Special Servicer shall pursue such other resolution strategies with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan, including, without limitation, workout and foreclosure, as the Special Servicer may deem appropriate, consistent with the Asset Status Report and the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions.

(b)           (i) (A) The Special Servicer may purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such purchase shall be a purchase of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan). The Special Servicer may also offer to sell to any Person any REO Property (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such sale shall be a sale of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan), if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the

-264- 

Servicing Standard, that such a sale would be in the best economic interest of the Trust and the related Companion Holders. The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Master Servicer, each Companion Holder, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intention to (i) purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price (which Purchase Price will be stated in the related notice) therefor or (ii) sell any REO Property, in which case the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for any REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer, an Affiliate of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, or an employee of either of them may act as broker in connection with the sale of any REO Property and may retain from the proceeds of such sale a brokerage commission that does not exceed the commission that would have been earned by an independent broker pursuant to a brokerage agreement entered into at arm’s length.

(B)       In the absence of any such offer as set forth in subclause (A) above, the Special Servicer shall, subject to subclause (C) below, accept the highest offer for such REO Property received from any Person that is determined to be a fair price (1) by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, or (2) by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person unless such offer by an Interested Person (i) is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price and (ii) is the highest offer received; provided, that absent an offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any REO Property pursuant hereto.

(C)       The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans) (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

-265- 

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.

(D)       In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any REO Property, the Trustee shall obtain and may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee in connection with making such determination. The reasonable cost of such Independent appraiser or other Independent expert shall be an expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser. The reasonable fees and costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person. In determining whether any offer constitutes a fair price for any REO Property, the Special Servicer or the Trustee (or, if applicable, such appraiser) shall take into account, and any appraiser or other expert in real estate matters shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the physical condition of such REO Property, the state of the local economy and the Trust’s obligation to comply with REMIC Provisions.

(ii)           Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the related Companion Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. A sale of any REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trust (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties of title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust) and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor nor the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust or any Certificateholder, VRR Interest Owner or related Companion Holder (if applicable) with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(c)           Any sale of a Defaulted Loan or any REO Property shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions or authoritative interpretations thereof made or issued subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

-266- 

(d)           With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, if the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan that has become a Defaulted Loan in accordance with this Section 3.16, then the Special Servicer shall sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Special Servicer in writing. To the extent a determination is required to be made hereunder as to whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for a Serviced Whole Loan, such determination shall be made by the Special Servicer unless the offeror is an Interested Party and by the Trustee if the offeror is an Interested Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer will not be permitted to sell the related Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) if it becomes a defaulted Whole Loan without the written consent of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (provided that such consent is not required if the holder of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is the Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Serviced Whole Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that are material to the sale price of the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Certificateholder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. The holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or its representative) will be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of such Whole Loan; however, the related Mortgagor and its agents and Affiliates shall not be permitted to submit an offer at such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion Loan may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this paragraph with respect to the related Whole Loan. 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 offering Interested Person purchaser) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. 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 fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall

-267- 

use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person.

(e)           (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan for each applicable Serviced Whole Loan will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as applicable. Such right of the holder of the Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan shall be given priority over any provision described in this Section 3.16 as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. If the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property is purchased by the holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or otherwise ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan will no longer be subject to this Agreement.

(ii)           Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, any mezzanine lender will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, as applicable, and cure defaults relating thereto, as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(f)            Unless otherwise provided in an Intercreditor Agreement the sale of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16 will be on a servicing released basis.

(g)           In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has the right to purchase any Companion Loan on behalf of the Trust pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall exercise such right.

Section 3.17     Additional Obligations of Master Servicer and Special Servicer. (a) The Master Servicer shall deliver all Compensating Interest Payments (other than the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall deliver the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the Companion Paying Agent for deposit in the Companion Distribution Account on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.

(b)          The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to each Companion Holder any reports or notices required to be delivered to such Companion Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(c)           Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full

-268- 

amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) immediately, as an accommodation may elect to defer such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the Collection Period, for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (provided that, subject to the DCH Limitations, any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder), and any election to so defer or not to defer shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent collection period (subject, again, to the same sole option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other collections). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to defer the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans to be received until the end of such Collection Period before making its determination of whether to defer the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof); provided, that if, at any time the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to defer such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a Collection Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on or in respect of Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider fifteen (15) days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, which shall mean that (i) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion that waiting fifteen (15) days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (i) above, or (iii) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, has not timely received from the other such party information required by it to determine whether to defer reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Advance. If any of the circumstances described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the foregoing sentence apply, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall give the 17g-5 Information Provider a notice for posting of the anticipated reimbursement

-269- 

as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required by the preceding or second preceding sentence shall in no way affect the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s decision to defer such reimbursement or right to obtain such reimbursement as described in this Section 3.17(c). Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of any principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v). The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expenses resulting from any notice provided to the Rating Agencies contemplated by this Section 3.17(c).

The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this section or to comply with the terms of this section and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made; provided, that the fact that a decision to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some classes of Certificateholders or VRR Interest Owners to the detriment of other classes shall not, with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard and/or with respect to the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders or any contractual obligation hereunder. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances immediately instead of deferring such reimbursement, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date (deemed first from principal and then interest). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more collection periods shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, agreement to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders or the VRR Interest Owners. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders or the VRR Interest Owners a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise) and accrued interest thereon. In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders, VRR Interest Owners or Companion Holders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this section or for any losses, damages or other adverse

-270- 

economic or other effects that may arise from such an election, nor shall such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an election, that is authorized under this Section 3.17(c).

No determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to exercise its sole option to defer the reimbursement of Advances and/or interest thereon under this section shall be construed as an agreement by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to subordinate (in respect of realizing losses), to any Class of Certificates, such party’s right to such reimbursement during such period of deferral.

With respect to any modification or amendment of any Intercreditor Agreement related to a Serviced Whole Loan (to the extent received), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the 17g-5 Information Provider a copy of any such modification or amendment, which the 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

(d)           With respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), if the related loan documents permit the lender to (but do not require the lender to), at its option, prior to an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), apply amounts held in any reserve account as a prepayment or hold such amounts in a reserve account, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may not apply such amounts as a prepayment, and will instead continue to hold such amounts in the applicable reserve account, unless not applying those amounts as a prepayment would be a violation of the Servicing Standard. Such amount may be used, if permitted under the loan documents, to defease the loan, or may be used to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), or for other purpose consistent with the Servicing Standard and the loan documents, upon a subsequent default.

(e)           Within one (1) Business Day after the execution of any amendment or modification of any Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the Certificate Administrator a copy of any such modification or amendment of any Intercreditor Agreement, and such amendment or modification shall be a Reportable Event.

Section 3.18     Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents. (a) Modifications, waivers, amendments and consents with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be processed and consented to by the parties specified in, and subject to the procedures specified in, Section 3.36.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the party processing any relevant modification, waiver or amendment shall use its reasonable efforts to the extent possible to cause each modified Serviced Mortgage Loan to fully amortize prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and shall not agree to any modification, waiver or amendment that (1) extends the Maturity Date beyond the earlier of (i) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (ii) if

-271- 

the related Mortgage Loan is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date occurring twenty (20) years (or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the Ground Lease and (a) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) and (b) upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, with non-binding consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder, ten (10) years) prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate or (2) provides for the deferral of interest unless interest accrues on the Mortgage Loan or the related Serviced Whole Loan at the related Mortgage Rate.

If a modification, waiver or amendment of any term of a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan would extend the Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan for more than twelve (12) months from and after the original Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan and such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, prior to any such extension, the Master Servicer shall (1) provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, each related Other Master Servicer, each related Other Trustee and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder, with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if not required or permitted to be paid by the Mortgagor, to be paid as an expense of the Trust in accordance with Section 3.11(d)) that such extension would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (2) subject to the Servicing Standard, (A) prior to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event (subject to the DCH Limitations), obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event (subject to the DCH Limitations) consult with the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof) and (C) unless an Excluded RRCP Loan is involved, consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08.

Subject to Section 6.08, applicable law and the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for one or more other parcels of real property at any time the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable unless (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, obtains Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and delivers such Rating Agency Confirmation to the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if permitted by the applicable Rating Agency) and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any

-272- 

class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25)) and (ii) such substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may obtain and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor if not prohibited by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and if so prohibited, at the expense of the Trust) with respect thereto).

In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the related Mortgage Loan documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related Mortgagor of) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Mortgage Loan, then such calculation shall, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any, as determined by an appropriate third party.

If, following any such release or taking, the loan-to-value ratio as so calculated is greater than 125%, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall require payment of principal by a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor provisions, unless the related Borrower provides an Opinion of Counsel that if such amount is not paid the related Mortgage Loan will not fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.

(b)          If the Special Servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the forgiveness or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution of collateral pursuant to the terms of a Serviced Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan or otherwise, the release of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan (with respect to which a payment default or other material default has occurred or a payment default or other material default is, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable) (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Special Servicer), is reasonably likely to produce a greater (or equivalent) recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the Trust and, if applicable, the Companion Holders, as the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan, then the Special Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Loan, subject to: (w) the provisions of Section 3.18(a), this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (x) other than

-273- 

with respect to an Excluded DCH Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the approval of the Directing Certificateholder (or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder) (provided that with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, the approval of the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan will be required to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Directing Certificateholder shall have no consent or consultation rights regarding the matter), (y) upon the request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, non-binding consultation with the Risk Retention Party (within the same time period as it would obtain the approval of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder), in each case, as provided in Section 6.08; and (z) additionally, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder or with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the rights of the related mezzanine lender, to advise or consult with the Special Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, as applicable; provided that in the case of any release or substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance), the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such release or substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event or an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

(c)           Any provision of this Section 3.18 to the contrary notwithstanding, except when a Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan is in default or default with respect thereto is reasonably foreseeable, no fee described in this Section 3.18 shall be collected by any Master Servicer or Special Servicer from a Mortgagor (or on behalf of the Mortgagor) in conjunction with any consent or any modification, waiver or amendment of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable (unless the amount thereof is specified in the related Mortgage Note) if the collection of such fee would cause such consent, modification, waiver or amendment to be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Note within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

(d)           To the extent consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.18(a) and Section 6.08), the Master Servicer (as provided in Section 3.01(a), Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b) and Section 3.18 and subject to the subject to the processing and consent procedures specified in Section 3.36, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a

-274-

In making this determination, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may obtain and rely upon (and shall provide to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator if obtained) an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to be paid out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor or such other Person to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the payment of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge or the requirement that any prepayment of a Mortgage Loan be made on a Due Date, or if not made on a Due Date, be accompanied by all interest that would be due on the next Due Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan.

(g)          With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.36, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Special Servicer (if such action is processed by the Master Servicer), the Master Servicer (if such action is processed by the Special Servicer), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations), the Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to any Excluded RRCP Loan), the applicable Companion Holder (unless, with respect to a holder of a Serviced

The party that is responsible for processing such action shall deliver to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer (if such notice is being delivered by the Special Servicer) for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the execution thereof, with a copy to the applicable Companion Holder, if any. Following receipt of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, delivery of the aforesaid modification, waiver or amendment to the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator shall forward a copy thereof to each Holder of a Certificate (other than the Class R Certificates) and each VRR Interest Owner. With respect to the processing of any modification, waiver or consent related to any Mortgagor incurring Additional Debt or mezzanine debt, the Special Servicer (if the Special Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 3.36) or the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 3.36) shall, on or before the later of (i) 3:00 p.m. on the related P&I Advance Date and (ii) five (5) Business Days immediately following the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, obtaining actual knowledge of the incurrence of such Additional Debt or mezzanine debt, deliver notice of the Mortgagor’s incurrence of such debt, substantially in the form of Exhibit KK, to cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com and an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit EE.

From time to time, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Certificate Administrator may agree on a different delivery time and format for the information set forth in this paragraph.

In no event shall the Master Servicer post any Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report to its website. None of the parties to this Agreement shall provide any Asset Status Report or any Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator.

(viii)       an analysis of whether or not taking such proposed action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination and (y) the net present value calculation and all related assumptions;

(ix)          the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property (and a copy of the last obtained Appraisal of such Mortgaged Property) together with a description of any adjustments to the valuation of such Mortgaged Property made by the Special Servicer together with an explanation of those adjustments; and

A summary of each Final Asset Status Report shall be provided to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee.

If within ten (10) Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Directing Certificateholder (subject to the DCH Limitation) does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing or if the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the disapproval by the Directing Certificateholder (communicated to the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole, the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, that the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, the Servicing Standard or the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents. If, with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations), the Directing Certificateholder disapproves such Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt and the Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such disapproval, to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and, in the case of a Serviced AB Whole Loan, only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and during a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period with respect to the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), the Operating Advisor (but only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)). The Special Servicer shall continue to revise such Asset Status Report as described above in this Section 3.19(d) until the Directing Certificateholder shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole; provided that, if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved the Asset Status Report for a period of sixty (60) Business Days following the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report, if consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, that such Asset Status Report does not, and is not intended to be, a substitute for the approvals that are specifically required pursuant to Section 6.08. The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to herein as the “Directing Certificateholder Asset Status Report Approval Process”. Prior to an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special Servicer shall deliver each Final Asset Status Report to

-284- 

the Operating Advisor at the conclusion of the Directing Certificateholder Asset Status Report Approval Process.

The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report; provided that such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.19(d). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with an Asset Status Report for an Excluded DCH Loan which includes a Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no direction or disapproval of the Directing Certificateholder hereunder or under a related Intercreditor Agreement or failure of the Directing Certificateholder to consent to or approve (including any deemed consents or approvals) any request of the Special Servicer, shall (a) require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC and the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust, or (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, or (c) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or their respective officers, directors, members, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability or (d) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

If an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor, the Directing Certificateholder (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and subject to the DCH Limitations) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party. The Operating Advisor shall provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of the Asset Status Report, if any, within ten (10) Business Days following the later of receipt of (i) such Asset Status Report or (ii) such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related thereto, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are holders of the Control Eligible Certificates) and the VRR Interest Owners, as a collective whole. The Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and, subject to the DCH Limitations, if a Control Termination Event exists but so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder) in connection with the Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report.

Servicer may revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments received in response from the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder, to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or Directing Certificateholder’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners as a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interest of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and the holders of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of such Companion Loan)). Promptly upon determining whether or not to revise any Asset Status Report to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder, the Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report, if applicable, and deliver to the Operating Advisor and the Directing Certificateholder the revised Asset Status Report (until a Final Asset Status Report is issued). The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “ASR Consultation Process”.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to an Excluded DCH Loan or Servicing Shift Whole Loan), the Directing Certificateholder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.19. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder (subject to the DCH Limitations) shall be entitled to, and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall, consult with the Special Servicer (electronically or telephonically) and may propose alternative courses of action and provide such other feedback as the Directing Certificateholder or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, determines in respect of any Asset Status Report. After the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to an Excluded DCH Loan or Servicing Shift Whole Loan), the Directing Certificateholder (other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports and the Special Servicer shall only be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report as described above. The Special Servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period with respect to a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall prepare an Asset Status Report for any Serviced AB Whole Loan, within 60 days of it becoming a Specially Serviced Loan pursuant to this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, but the Directing Certificateholder will have no approval rights over any such Asset Status Report, and the consent or approval rights with respect to such Asset Status Report shall be as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. 

-286- 

In the case of an Asset Status Report relating to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, (i) the holder of the related Servicing Shift Control Note shall have all of the rights that the Directing Certificateholder has prior to a Control Termination Event with respect to other Serviced Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain the consent of the holder of the related Servicing Shift Control Note to the same extent as it is required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior to a Control Termination Event with respect to other Serviced Mortgage Loans.

(e)           (i) Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of the events described in clause (iv) or (x) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event (without regard to the 60-day or 30-day period, respectively, set forth therein), the Master Servicer shall with reasonable promptness give notice thereof, and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information relating to the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to negotiate with the related Mortgagor. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each such event.

(ii)           After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, upon receiving notice of the occurrence of an event described in clause (iv) or (x) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event (without regard to the 60-day or 30-day period, respectively, set forth therein), the Master Servicer shall deliver notice thereof to the Operating Advisor at the same time such notice is provided to the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above.

(f)            Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, no later than two (2) Business Days following the establishment of a Final Asset Status Report with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan (other than any Excluded DCH Loan), the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format to the Directing Certificateholder a draft notice that will include a draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report (which briefly summarizes such Final Asset Status Report, but shall not include any Privileged Information) (and shall deliver each Final Asset Status Report with respect to a Serviced AB Mortgage Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period (to the extent approved by the related Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder), to the Directing Certificateholder). With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, if, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such draft summary, the Directing Certificateholder approves of, or does not disapprove of such draft summary, then the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b). If the Directing Certificateholder affirmatively disapproves of such summary in writing, then within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such disapproval, the Special Servicer shall revise the summary and deliver such new summary to the Directing Certificateholder until the Directing Certificateholder approves such draft summary; provided, that if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved

-287- 

of the draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the initial draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report, then the most recent draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report delivered by the Special Servicer prior to such 20th Business Day shall be deemed to be the final summary of the Final Asset Status Report; provided, further, that if at any time the Special Servicer determines that any affirmative disapproval of such draft summary by the Directing Certificateholder is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners pursuant to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) notwithstanding such disapproval. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver (but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days following its completion) a copy of each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor. The Special Servicer shall prepare a summary of any Final Asset Status Report related to any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the related holder of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, which Final Asset Status Report has been approved or deemed approved by the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent such Intercreditor Agreement requires such approval or deemed approval), and deliver in electronic format notice of such Final Asset Status Report and the summary of such Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b).

(g)           No provision of this Section 3.19 shall require the Special Servicer to take or to refrain from taking any action because of any proposal, objection or comment by the Operating Advisor or a recommendation of the Operating Advisor.

Section 3.20     Sub-Servicing Agreements. (a) The Master Servicer and, subject to the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to a Control Termination Event), the Special Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations hereunder; provided that the Sub-Servicing Agreement as amended or modified: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of such party under such agreement, or, alternatively, may act in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.20(g) hereof); (iii) provides that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and the related Companion Holder (if applicable) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) shall be a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of such party thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the

-288- 

Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (other than the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that enters into such Sub-Servicing Agreement), any successor master servicer or special servicer or any Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner (or the related Companion Holder, if applicable) shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty; provided, that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements may only be terminated by the Trustee or its designees as contemplated by Section 3.20(g) hereof and in such additional manner and by such other Persons as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust except through the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, if and only to the extent provided pursuant to Section 6.04; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to modify any Mortgage Loan or make any other servicing decision unless and to the extent the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan or make such servicing decision; (vii) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to take any action constituting a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision unless the Master Servicer and Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process any such Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision subject to the consent of the Special Servicer (which consent shall be obtained by the Master Servicer); (viii) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, such Sub-Servicer, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, is not a Prohibited Party; (ix) provides that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable Grace Period) if the Sub-Servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor under ARTICLE XI or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement or to the master servicer under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to, or (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in the Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required for any party to this Agreement to perform its obligations under ARTICLE XI or under the Exchange Act reporting items required under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to; and (x) provides that such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminable if at any time the related Sub-Servicer is a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third Party Purchaser if such Sub-Servicer is a “servicer” as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB.

The Trustee or any successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, hereunder shall, upon becoming successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, be assigned and may assume any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (subject to Section 3.20(g) hereof). In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer may but need not provide that the obligations of the Sub-Servicer thereunder may terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan

-289- 

serviced thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided, that the Sub-Servicing Agreement may provide (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) that the Sub-Servicer will continue to make all Advances and calculations and prepare all reports required under the Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and continue to collect its Initial Sub-Servicing Fees as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred and to render such incidental services with respect to such Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements (and, with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into with a cashiering sub-servicer, any amendments thereto and modifications thereof), entered into by it, in each case promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, in such event, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as may be provided (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trustee and the Depositor (and the Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor) in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except that the Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.

(b)           Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of the related Mortgage Loans or the compliance with its obligations under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.

(c)           As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners or the Trust) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each of its Sub-Servicers under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the requirements of ARTICLE XI hereof. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution

-290- 

of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it pursuant to the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(d)           In the event the Trustee or its designee becomes successor master servicer and assumes the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the Companion Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.

(e)           Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement and this Section 3.20, except to the extent provided in ARTICLE XI with respect to the obligations of any Sub-Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, holders of the Companion Loans serviced hereunder, the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners for the performance of its 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 it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible, and the Master Servicer shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer thereunder as and when due from its own funds. In no event shall the Trust bear any termination fee required to be paid to any Sub-Servicer as a result of such Sub-Servicer’s termination under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(f)           The Trustee, upon the request of the Master Servicer, shall furnish to any Sub-Servicer any documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Sub-Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(g)           Except as provided below, each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that, in the event the Trustee or any other Person becomes successor master servicer, the Trustee or such successor master servicer shall have the right to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with or without cause and without a fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision in this Agreement, the Trustee and any successor master servicer shall assume each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement and (i) the Initial Sub-Servicer’s rights and obligations under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the Master Servicer’s servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its provisions prior to the termination of the Master Servicer; (ii) any successor master servicer, including, without limitation, the Trustee (if it assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically assume and agree to the then-current Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement (including the termination provisions thereof) without further action upon becoming the successor master servicer and (iii) this Agreement may not be modified in any manner which would increase the obligations or

-291- 

limit the rights of the Initial Sub-Servicer hereunder and/or under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Initial Sub-Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(h)           With respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall, upon request (such request to be made reasonably in advance as appropriate to the circumstances surrounding such request) of the related Sub-Servicer, reasonably cooperate in delivering reports and information, including remittance information, and affording access to information to the related Sub-Servicer that would be required to be delivered or afforded, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

(i)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement which provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations herein, without, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

(j)            No party shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement in connection with this transaction with a Sub-Servicer that is a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third Party Purchaser if such Sub-Servicer would be a “servicer” as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB. The parties to this Agreement, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, may conclusively rely upon a representation of any Initial Sub-Servicer that such Sub-Servicer is not, to its actual knowledge, a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third Party Purchaser. If at any time a Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB and is a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third Party Purchaser, such party shall terminate such Sub-Servicer in accordance with the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the extent such party has actual knowledge of such affiliation.

Section 3.21     Interest Reserve Account.

(a)           On the P&I Advance Date occurring in each February and in any January that occurs in a year that is not a leap year (in each case, unless the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator, in respect of each Actual/360 Mortgage Loan, shall deposit into the Interest Reserve Account, an amount equal to one (1) day’s interest on the Stated Principal Balance of the Actual/360 Mortgage Loans as of the Due Date occurring in the month preceding the month in which P&I Advance Date occurs at the related Net Mortgage Rate, to the extent a full Periodic Payment or P&I Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited pursuant to clause (ii) and in any consecutive February and January pursuant to clause (i), “Withheld Amounts”).

(b)          On each P&I Advance Date occurring in March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw,

-292- 

from the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January (if applicable) and February, if any, and deposit such amount into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

Within a reasonable time upon request from the Directing Certificateholder or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and no more often than on a monthly basis, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer via telephone available to verbally answer questions from (a) (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder and (b) the Operating Advisor (with respect to the Special Servicer only), regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.

Section 3.23     Controlling Class Certificateholders and Directing Certificateholder; Certain Rights and Powers of Directing Certificateholder.

(a) Each Controlling Class Certificateholder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of the transfer of any Certificate of a Controlling Class by delivering a notice to each such Person substantially in the form of Exhibit NN attached hereto, the selection of a Directing Certificateholder or the resignation or removal thereof. The Directing Certificateholder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor when such Certificateholder is appointed Directing Certificateholder and when it is removed or resigns. To the extent there is only one Controlling Class Certificateholder and it (or its Affiliate) is also the Special Servicer, it shall be the Directing Certificateholder.

On the Closing Date, the initial Directing Certificateholder shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1G to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Directing Certificateholder, any successor directing certificateholder shall also deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1G to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Directing Certificateholder.

(b)           Once a Directing Certificateholder has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) and the VRR Interest Owners shall be entitled to rely on any written notice of such selection unless the Controlling Class Certificateholders entitled to appoint the Directing Certificateholder, by Certificate Balance, or such Directing Certificateholder shall have notified the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Controlling Class Certificateholder, in writing, of the resignation of such Directing

-293- 

Certificateholder or the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder. In the event that (i) the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor receives written notice from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders that a Directing Certificateholder is no longer designated and (ii) the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or a representative thereof) becomes the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the proviso of the definition of “Directing Certificateholder”, then the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or its representative) shall provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor that it is the new Directing Certificateholder; provided that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to rely on the written notification provided by the purported Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class without independently verifying that such Controlling Class Certificateholder actually owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class.

(c)          Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Controlling Class Certificateholder and the Directing Certificateholder.

(d)          In the event that no Directing Certificateholder has been appointed or identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator and no such entity has been identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Directing Certificateholder is identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Directing Certificateholder as the case may be.

(e)          Upon request, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, a list of each Controlling Class Certificateholder as reflected in the Certificate Registrar, including names and addresses (or Certificate Owners of the Controlling Class, if applicable, at the expense of the requesting party). In addition to the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder or the existence of a new Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners Aggregator I L.P. shall be the initial Directing Certificateholder and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating

-294- 

Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the preceding sentence with respect to the identity of the Directing Certificateholder.

(f)           If to the extent the Certificate Administrator determines that a Class of Book-Entry Certificates is the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Certificateholders of such Class (through the Depository) of the Class becoming the Controlling Class.

(g)          Each Certificateholder and VRR Interest Owner acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates or portion of the VRR Interest, as applicable, that the Directing Certificateholder: (i) may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates or the VRR Interest Owners; (ii) may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates (other than the Controlling Class) or to the VRR Interest Owners; (iv) may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of one or more Classes including the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates and over the interests of the VRR Interest Owners; and (v) shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, and no Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Directing Certificateholder for having so acted.

(h)          (i) All requirements of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to provide notices, reports, statements or other information (including the access to information on a website) to the Directing Certificateholder contained in this Agreement shall also apply to each Companion Holder with respect to information relating to the related Serviced AB Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable; provided, that nothing in this subsection (h) shall in any way eliminate the obligation to deliver any information required to be delivered under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(i)            Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity and contact information of the Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder and any Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder.

(j)            With respect to a Serviced Whole Loan and any approval and consent rights in this Agreement with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder shall exercise such rights in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(k)           The Certificate Registrar shall determine which Class of Certificates is the then-current Controlling Class within two (2) Business Days of a request from the Master

-295- 

Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, or any Certificateholder and provide such information to the requesting party.

(l)            Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) include on its statement made available pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement the identity of the new Controlling Class and (ii) provide to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor notice of such event and the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder (the cost of obtaining such information from DTC being an expense of the Trust). The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days of the existence or cessation of (i) any Control Termination Event, (ii) any Consultation Termination Event or (iii) any Operating Advisor Consultation Event. Upon the Certificate Administrator’s determination that a Control Termination Event, a Consultation Termination Event or an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred or is terminated, the Certificate Administrator shall, within ten (10) Business Days, post a “special notice” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to this provision.

In the event that a Control Termination Event has occurred due to a reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class E Certificates (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class in accordance with Section 4.05(a) hereof) to less than 25% of the Original Certificate Balance thereof, such special notice shall state “A Control Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class E Certificates to less than 25% of the Original Certificate Balance thereof.”

In the event that a Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of each Class of Control Eligible Certificates below 25% of its Original Certificate Balance, in each case without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts, such special notice shall state: “A Consultation Termination Event has occurred because no Class of Control Eligible Certificates exists where such Class’s aggregate Certificate Balance is at least equal to 25% of the Original Certificate Balance of that Class, in each case without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

(m)       Notwithstanding the proviso to, or any other contrary provision of, the definitions of “Control Termination Event,” “Consultation Termination Event” and “Operating Advisor Consultation Event,” a Control Termination Event, a Consultation Termination Event and an Operating Advisor Consultation Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to an Excluded DCH Loan, and neither the Directing Certificateholder nor any Controlling Class Certificateholder shall have any consent or consultation rights with respect to the servicing of such Excluded DCH Loan.

Section 3.24     Intercreditor Agreements. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Serviced Whole Loan being serviced under this Agreement and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt is subject to the terms and

-296- 

provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and each agrees to service each such Serviced Whole Loan, and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, including, without limitation, effecting distributions and allocating reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Companion Holder and each mezzanine lender or its respective designee has the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided for therein. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer further acknowledges and agrees that any Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder will have the right to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan, to the extent provided for herein and in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(b)          Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for any cost, claim or damage that arises from any entitlement in favor of a Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender under the related Intercreditor Agreement or conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of any Intercreditor Agreement that may otherwise require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to abide by any instruction or direction of a Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to comply with any instruction or direction the compliance with which requires an Advance that constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. In no event shall any expense arising from compliance with an Intercreditor Agreement constitute an expense to be borne by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for its own account without reimbursement. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be required to consult with or obtain the consent of any Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender unless such Companion Holder or mezzanine lender has delivered notice of its identity and contact information to each of the parties to this Agreement (upon which notice each of the parties to this Agreement shall be conclusively entitled to rely). As of the Closing Date, the contact information for the Companion Holders and mezzanine lenders is as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, be required to consult with or obtain the consent of a new Directing Certificateholder or a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or consult with a new Risk Retention Consultation Party unless the Certificate Administrator has delivered notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as required under Section 3.23(e) or Section 3.35(b), as applicable, or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, have actual knowledge of the identity and contact information of a new Directing

-297- 

Certificateholder or a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(c)           No direction or disapproval of the Companion Holders or any mezzanine lender shall (a) require or cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC and the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust, (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions or (c) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

(d)          With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party hereunder may have to consult with respect to any action or other matter with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan, to the extent the related Intercreditor Agreement provides that such right is exercisable by the related Companion Holder or is exercisable in conjunction with any related Companion Holder, the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be permitted to exercise such right or, to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement, shall be required to exercise such right in conjunction with the related Companion Holder, as applicable (except to the extent that the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party is the related Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder). Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, seek the approval or obtain the consent of the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan to the extent required under related Intercreditor Agreement and shall not take such actions requiring consent of the related Companion Holder without such consent. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices to the related Companion Holder as required under the Intercreditor Agreement.

(e)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the party processing a Major Decision as specified under Section 3.36 shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the related Companion Holder, within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to consult with any related Companion Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports,

-298- 

such related Companion Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such related Companion Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such related Companion Holder by such processing party of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder, such processing party shall no longer be obligated to consult with such related Companion Holder, whether or not such related Companion Holder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless such processing party proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the related Companion Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, such processing party may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if it determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and the related Companion Holder. In no event shall the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the related Companion Holder.

(f)           In addition to the consultation rights of the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Companion Holder shall have the right to attend (in person or telephonically, in the discretion of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) annual meetings with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer at the offices of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Whole Loan are discussed.

(g)          With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement such that the monthly remittance to the holder of the related Companion Loan is required earlier than 2 Business Days after receipt by the Master Servicer of the related Periodic Payment without the consent of the Master Servicer.

(h)          To the extent not otherwise expressly included herein, any provisions required to be included herein pursuant to any Intercreditor Agreement for a Whole Loan are deemed incorporated herein by reference, and the parties hereto shall comply with those provisions as if set forth herein in full.

Section 3.25     Rating Agency Confirmation. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any related Mortgage Loan documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement requires Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “RAC Requesting Party”) attempting and/or

-299- 

required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then such RAC Requesting Party shall be required to confirm (through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again (which may also be through direct communication). The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement as a “RAC No-Response Scenario.” Once the RAC Requesting Party has sent a request for a Rating Agency Confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider, such RAC Requesting Party may, but shall not be obligated to send such request directly to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.10(d).

If there is no response to such Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such second request in a RAC No-Response Scenario or if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation or with respect to any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, confirms its original determination (made prior to making such request) that taking the action with respect to which it requested the Rating Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer has been appointed and currently serves as a master servicer or special servicer on a transaction-level basis on a transaction currently rated by Moody’s that currently has securities outstanding and for which Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in a commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if Moody’s is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the special servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency or (iii) DBRS has not publicly cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on

-300- 

“watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if DBRS is the non-responding Rating Agency.

Any Rating Agency Confirmation request made by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing, which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such written Rating Agency Confirmation request shall be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

Promptly following the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.25(a) following any requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation being deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist), the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider of the action taken for the particular item at such time, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.25, for purposes of the provisions of any Mortgage Loan document relating to defeasance (including without limitation the type of collateral acceptable for use as defeasance collateral) or release or substitution of any collateral, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the Mortgage Loan documents for which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been permitted to waive obtaining or to make a determination with respect to such Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to Section 3.25(a) shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist).

(c)          For all other matters or actions not specifically discussed in Section 3.25(a) above, the applicable RAC Requesting Party shall deliver Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

Section 3.26      The Operating Advisor. (a) The Operating Advisor shall review (i) the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan and, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event exists, any Major Decisions with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, (ii) all reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise provided to the Operating Advisor pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) each Asset Status Report (after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and each Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer. The Operating Advisor shall perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard.

-301- 

(b)          [Reserved].

(c)           (i) Based on the Operating Advisor’s review of (i) any assessment of compliance and any attestation report delivered to the Operating Advisor or made available to the Operating Advisor on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, any attestation report delivered to the Operating Advisor, any Final Asset Status Report and other information (other than any communications between the related Directing Certificateholder, any Risk Retention Consultation Party or any related Companion Loan holder (or its representative), as applicable, and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor shall ((i) if any Serviced Mortgage Loans were Specially Serviced Loans at any time during the prior calendar year or (ii) if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event occurred during the prior calendar year) deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) within one hundred twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year, an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit V (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Operating Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, provisions herein relating to Privileged Information; provided, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), setting forth the Operating Advisor’s assessment, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, as to whether the Special Servicer is operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under this Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to Major Decisions on Non-Specially Serviced Loans) during the prior calendar year on an the basis described in the following paragraph and identifying (1) which, if any, standards the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the Special Servicer has failed to comply with and (2) any material deviations from the Special Servicer’s obligations hereunder with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than with respect to any REO Property related to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, Non-Specially Serviced Loans (solely with respect to Major Decisions with respect thereto); provided, that in the event the Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to the special servicer that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall prepare a separate Operating Advisor Annual Report relating to each Excluded Special Servicer and any Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s) serviced by such Excluded Special Servicer. In preparing any Operating Advisor Annual Report, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the Operating Advisor will not be obligated to prepare an annual

-302- 

report with respect to any calendar year unless at least one of the following occurs with respect to such calendar year: (i) the Operating Advisor receives a Final Asset Status Report with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan; (ii) the Operating Advisor is entitled to consult with respect to any Major Decision; or (iii) the Operating Advisor does not receive a Final Asset Status Report for any Serviced Mortgage Loan that was a Specially Serviced Loan for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days following a Servicing Transfer Event. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)); provided, that the Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to such annual report’s delivery to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider. The Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to the Operating Advisor Annual Report that are provided by the Special Servicer.

The Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be prepared on the basis of the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties with respect to Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to Major Decisions on Non-Specially Serviced Loans) under this Agreement, taking into account the Special Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the Operating Advisor of any assessment of compliance, attestation report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report, Final Asset Status Report and any other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer (other than any communications between the Directing Certificateholder and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) or made available to the Operating Advisor on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, in each case, pursuant to this Agreement.

(ii)          In the event the Operating Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Operating Advisor Annual Report is limited or prohibited due to the failure of a party hereto to timely deliver information required to be delivered to the Operating Advisor or because such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Operating Advisor shall set forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from such limitations or prohibitions. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any reliance thereon. In the event a lack of access to Privileged Information limits or prohibits the Operating Advisor from performing its duties under this Agreement, the Operating Advisor may, to the extent the Operating Advisor deems relevant, set forth any such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from its lack of access to Privileged Information.

(d)          [Reserved].

(e)           (i) With respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, after the subject calculation but prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amounts calculated by the Special Servicer or (ii) net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(iv), the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Communications), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.

(ii)          In connection with this Section 3.26(e), if the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (as calculated by the Special Servicer), or net present value or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. If the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement, and the Certificate Administrator shall examine the calculations and supporting materials provided by the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor and shall determine which calculation is to apply (and shall provide prompt written notice of such determination to the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer).

(f)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor’s review shall be limited to an after-the-action review of any assessment of compliance, attestation report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report, Final Asset Status Report and other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer or made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year (together with any additional information and material reviewed by the Operating Advisor), and, therefore, it shall have no involvement with respect to the determination and execution of Major Decisions and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement and will have no obligations at any time with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. In addition, with respect to the Operating Advisor’s review of net present value

-304- 

calculations as required in Section 3.26(e) above, the Operating Advisor’s recalculation shall not take into account the reasonableness of Special Servicer’s property and borrower performance assumptions or other similar discretionary portions of the net present value calculation.

(g)          The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all Privileged Information confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners, but not the Directing Certificateholder), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement, to the other parties hereto with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information, (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception or (3) where necessary to support specific findings or conclusions regarding deviations from the Servicing Standard (i) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report or (ii) in connection with a recommendation by the Operating Advisor to replace the Special Servicer. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any other Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and, unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (subject to the DCH Limitations)) other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement related to Privileged Information, the Operating Advisor agrees that it shall use information received from the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder. In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, while the Operating Advisor may serve in a similar capacity with respect to other securitizations that involve the same parties or borrowers involved in this securitization, the knowledge of the Operating Advisor gained from performing operating advisor functions for such other securitizations shall not be imputed to the Operating Advisor in this securitization.

(h)          Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Operating Advisor herein (including without limitation in respect of Privileged Information), the Operating Advisor shall respond to Inquiries proposed by Privileged Persons from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07(a).

(i)            As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee on each Remittance Date with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and each successor REO Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan, the Operating Advisor Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Operating Advisor Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on the related Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The

-305- 

Operating Advisor Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement

The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 6.04(a) and/or 6.04(b) hereof, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a). Each successor operating advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.

In addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Major Decision for which the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations hereunder. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement, but only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor. When the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Operating Advisor shall have no obligations or consultation rights in its capacity as operating advisor with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Property and shall not be entitled to the Operating Advisor Fee or an Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

(j)           Upon (i) the written direction of holders of ABS Interests representing at least 15% of the Voting Rights allocable to Non-Reduced Interests requesting a vote to replace the Operating Advisor with a replacement Operating Advisor selected by such holders (provided that the proposed replacement Operating Advisor is an Eligible Operating Advisor), (ii) payment by such requesting holders to the Certificate Administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) receipt by the Trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard.

-306- 

vote, provided that the holders of ABS Interests representing at least 50% of the Voting Rights allocable to the Non-Reduced Interests have exercised their right to vote, the Trustee shall immediately replace the Operating Advisor with the replacement Operating Advisor.

(k)          After the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of holders of ABS Interests representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Classes of Certificates and the VRR Interest Balance of the VRR Interest), the Trustee shall promptly terminate the Operating Advisor for cause and appoint a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor; provided that no such termination shall be effective until a successor operating advisor has been appointed and has assumed all of the obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement. No such termination shall terminate, change, reduce, or otherwise modify the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor that accrued prior to such termination, including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement, and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination. The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Operating Advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor operating advisor within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to identify and appoint a successor operating advisor so long as the Trustee uses commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a search for a successor operating advisor and such failure is not a result of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(l)            The holders of ABS Interests representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights may waive an Operating Advisor Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the Trustee of the occurrence of such Operating Advisor Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, such Operating Advisor Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust.

No such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. If no successor operating advisor has been so appointed and accepted the appointment within 30 days after the notice of resignation, the resigning Operating Advisor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor.

-312- 

collectively represents the Mortgage Note (as defined in Article I) with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and shall not be a collective reference to such promissory notes.

(b)          Custody of and record title under the Mortgage Loan documents with respect to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan shall be held exclusively by the Custodian as provided under this Agreement, except that the Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall hold and retain title to its original Repurchased Note(s) and any related endorsements thereof.

(i)            All of the Mortgage Notes with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Mortgage Note shall have priority or preference over any other portion of the other Mortgage Notes or security therefor. Payments from the related Mortgagor (including, without limitation, any Penalty Charges) or any other amounts received with respect to each Mortgage Note shall be collected as provided in this Agreement by the Master Servicer and shall be applied upon receipt by the Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.30(b)(ii). Payments or any other amounts received with respect to the related Repurchased Note shall be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller and remitted (net of its pro rata share of amounts payable at the Administrative Cost Rate and any other amounts due to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer) to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee by the Master Servicer on each Distribution Date pursuant to instructions provided by the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller and deposited and applied in accordance with this Agreement, subject to Section 3.30(b)(ii).

All expenses, losses and shortfalls relating solely to such Joint Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, losses of principal or interest, Nonrecoverable Advances, interest on Servicing Advances, Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees (including any such fees related to the applicable Mortgage Notes), shall be allocated between the holders of the related Mortgage Notes pro rata based upon the respective unpaid principal balances thereof. In no event shall any costs, expenses, fees or any other amounts related to any Mortgage Loan or Joint

-313- 

Mortgage Loan other than the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan be deducted from payments or any other amounts received with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and payable to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller.

(iii)          A Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.30 applies shall be serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance with the Servicing Standard and in accordance with the provisions herein as if (A) such Joint Mortgage Loan were a Serviced Whole Loan, (B) the related Mortgage Note(s) not repurchased were (1) a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and (2) the only Mortgage Loan that is part of such Joint Mortgage Loan, and (C) the related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. No Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall be permitted to terminate the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor as servicer, special servicer or operating advisor, respectively, of the related Repurchased Note.

(iv)         The related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall be treated hereunder as if it were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan holder on a pari passu basis.

Compensation shall be paid to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor with respect to each Repurchased Note as provided in this Agreement as if each such Repurchased Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to any Repurchased Note or, if no related Mortgage Note is part of the Trust, a Servicing Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note. Except as otherwise specified herein, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no reporting requirement with respect to any Repurchased Note other than to deliver to the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller any document as is required to be delivered to a holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan hereunder.

(c)           If any non-repurchased Mortgage Note relating to a Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.30 applies is a Specially Serviced Loan, then any related Repurchased Note shall also be a Specially Serviced Loan under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall cause such related Repurchased Note to be specially serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and shall be entitled to any Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee

-314- 

payable to the Special Servicer under this Agreement as with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

(d)          If (A) the Master Servicer shall pay any amount to any Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the terms hereof in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been made or will be received or collected in connection with any or all of the applicable Mortgage Notes and (B) such related payment is not received or collected by the Master Servicer, then the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly on demand by the Master Servicer return such amount to the Master Servicer. If the Master Servicer determines at any time that any amount received or collected by the Master Servicer in respect of any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.30 applies must be returned to the related Mortgagor or paid to any other person or entity pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, and such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly on demand by the Master Servicer repay (which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement) any portion thereof that the Master Servicer shall have distributed to such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Master Servicer may pay to the related Mortgagor or such other person or entity with respect thereto.

(e)           Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the consent and consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder and any consultation rights of the Operating Advisor), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the holders of any of the Repurchased Notes, shall have the exclusive right and obligation to (i) administer, service and make all decisions and determinations regarding the related Joint Mortgage Loan and (ii) enforce the applicable Mortgage Loan documents as provided hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive interest on and principal of, capitalize interest on, permit the release, addition or substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the release of the related Mortgagor on or any guarantor of any Joint Mortgage Loan it is required to service and administer as contemplated by this Section 3.30, without the consent of the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement as they pertain to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

(f)           In taking or refraining from taking any action permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be subject to the same degree of care with respect to the administration and servicing of the Joint Mortgage Loans to which this Section 3.30 applies as is consistent with this Agreement and shall be liable to any Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller only to the same extent as set forth herein with respect to any holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

(g)          If the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has made a Servicing Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note which would otherwise be reimbursable to such advancing party under this Agreement, and such Advance is determined to

-315- 

be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse the Trust in an amount equal to such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller’s Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such Nonrecoverable Advance with interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (and amounts due to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be offset) for Advances or interest thereon or any amounts related to any Mortgage Loans or any other Joint Mortgage Loan other than such amounts relating to the applicable Repurchased Note. To the extent that the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller reimburses any such Nonrecoverable Advances and such amounts are subsequently recovered, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall receive a reimbursement from such recovery based on its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such recovery. This reimbursement right shall not limit the Trustee’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s rights to reimbursement under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the total liability of each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not exceed an amount equal to its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of the amount to be reimbursed.

(b)          Distributions of VRR Interest Available Funds. On each Distribution Date, to the extent of the VRR Interest Available Funds for such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to transfer the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(c) with respect to the LVRR Uncertificated Interest, and immediately thereafter, shall make distributions thereof from the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account in the following order of priority, satisfying in full, to the extent required and possible, each priority before making any distribution with respect to any succeeding priority:

(i)            first, to the Holders of the VRR Interest, in respect of interest, up to an amount equal to the VRR Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date;

(ii)          second, to the Holders of the VRR Interest, in reduction of the VRR Interest Balance thereof, an amount equal to the VRR Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, until the VRR Interest Balance of the VRR Interest has been reduced to zero; and

(iii)          third, to the Holders of the VRR Interest, up to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Vertical Risk Retention Allocation Percentage and (B) the aggregate amount of reimbursed Realized Losses and interest thereon distributed to the holders of the Principal Balance Certificates pursuant to clauses (iii), (vi), (ix), (xii), (xv), (xviii), (xxi) and (xxiv) of Section 4.01(a), and in the same manner of priority as specified therein;

provided, that to the extent any VRR Interest Available Funds remain in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account after applying amounts as set forth in clauses (i) - (iii) above, any such amounts so remaining shall be disbursed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates.

(c)           On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of principal or reimbursement (with interest) of Realized Losses or VRR Interest Realized Losses, as applicable, in an amount equal to the amount of principal or reimbursement (with interest) of Realized Losses or VRR Interest Realized Losses, as applicable, actually distributable to the Holders of the respective Related Certificates or the VRR Interest Owners as provided in Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(d), 4.01(f) and 4.01(i) such that at all times the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests is equal to the Certificate Balance of the Class of Related Certificates or the VRR Interest Balance of the VRR Interest, as applicable. On each Distribution Date, (A) each Lower-Tier Regular Interest (other than the LVRR Uncertificated Interest) shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of its Related Certificates plus a pro rata portion (or, with respect to clause (iii) below, the entire portion) of the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of (i) in the case of the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LASB, Class LA3, Class LA4 and Class LA5 Lower-Tier Regular Interests, the Class X-A Certificates, (ii) in the case of the Class LAS, Class LB and Class LC Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-B Certificates and (iii) in the case of the Class LD Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-D Certificates, in each case computed based on an interest rate equal to the excess of the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate over the Pass-Through Rate of the Related Certificates and a notional amount equal to its related Lower-Tier Principal Amount, in each case to the extent actually distributable thereon as provided in Section 4.01(a), and (B) the LVRR Uncertificated Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the VRR Interest Distribution Amount in respect of the VRR Interest. Amounts distributable pursuant to this paragraph are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier Distribution Amount”, and shall be made by the Certificate Administrator by deeming such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount to be withdrawn from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to be deposited in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

As of any date, the principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the Certificate Balance of the Related Certificates with respect thereto or, in the case of the LVRR Uncertificated Interest, the VRR Interest Balance of the VRR Interest, as applicable, as adjusted for the allocation of Realized Losses or VRR Interest Realized Losses, as applicable, as provided in Sections 4.04(b) and 4.04(c). The initial principal balance of each Lower-Tier

-326- 

Regular Interest shall equal the respective Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The pass through rate with respect to each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be the rate per annum set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto.

Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on each Distribution Date after distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and distribution of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges pursuant to Section 4.01(e) shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest (but only to the extent of the Aggregate Available Funds for such Distribution Date remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, if any).

(d)          After the Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates or the VRR Interest Balance of the VRR Interest has been reduced to zero, such Class or the VRR Interest, as applicable, shall not be entitled to any further distributions in respect of interest or principal other than reimbursement of Realized Losses or VRR Interest Realized Losses, as applicable, and other amounts provided for in this Section 4.01.

(e)           Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date that represent Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges received by the Trust with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan during the related Collection Period shall be distributable as follows: if any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any Collection Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan, then on the Distribution Date immediately succeeding the end of such Collection Period, the Certificate Administrator shall pay to the Holders of each Class of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates, the product of (A) the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, (B) the related Base Interest Fraction for such Class and the applicable principal prepayment, and (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to such Class for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Control Eligible Certificates) for that Distribution Date. Any portion of the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium described in the preceding sentence and remaining after the distributions in the preceding sentence (as to the applicable Distribution Date, the “Class X YM Distribution Amount”) shall be distributed to the holders of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates as follows: (1) first, to the Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates, in the case of each such Class in an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed on the applicable Distribution Date with respect to the Underlying Class(es) of Principal Balance Certificates for such Class of Class X Certificates, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed on the applicable Distribution Date with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates, multiplied by (ii) the Class X YM Distribution Amount for the applicable Distribution Date, and (2) second, to the Class X-D Certificates, in an amount equal to the portion of the Class X YM Distribution Amount remaining after the distributions to the holders of the Class X-A and Class X-B

-327- 

Certificates pursuant to clause (1) of this sentence. On the Distribution Date immediately succeeding the end of the related Collection Period, the Certificate Administrator shall pay to the VRR Interest Owners the Vertically Retained Percentage of any such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium described in the second preceding sentence.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if at any time the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Control Eligible Certificates) have been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans, and any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any Collection Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan, then on the Distribution Date immediately succeeding the end of such Collection Period, the Certificate Administrator shall pay to the Holders of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates then entitled to distributions of principal on such Distribution Date the product of (a) the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium distributable on the subject Distribution Date, and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to such Class for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all Principal Balance Certificates for that Distribution Date.

For purposes of the first this Section 4.01(e), the relevant “Base Interest Fraction” in connection with any Principal Prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that provides for the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and with respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates, shall be a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the greater of (x) zero and (y) the difference between (i) the Pass-Through Rate on such Class for the related Distribution Date, and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate and (B) the denominator of which is the difference between (i) the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate; provided that: (a) under no circumstances will the Base Interest Fraction be greater than 1.0; (b) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to both the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and the Pass-Through Rate on such Class for the related Distribution Date, then the Base Interest Fraction will equal zero; and (c) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and is less than the Pass-Through Rate on such Class for the related Distribution Date, then the Base Interest Fraction shall be equal to 1.0. If a Mortgage Loan provides for a step-up in the Mortgage Rate, then the Mortgage Rate used in the determination of the Base Interest Fraction will be the Mortgage Rate in effect at the time of the prepayment.

For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the relevant “Discount Rate” in connection with any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge collected on any prepaid Mortgage Loan and distributable on any Distribution Date shall be a rate per annum equal to (i) if a discount rate was used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan, such discount rate (as reported by the applicable Master Servicer), converted (if necessary) to a monthly equivalent yield, or (ii) if a discount rate was not used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant

-328- 

Mortgage Loan, the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields (as reported under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities” in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) published by the Federal Reserve Board for the week most recently ended before the date of the relevant prepayment (or deemed prepayment) of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with a maturity date, one longer and one shorter, most nearly approximating the related Stated Maturity Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to an ARD Loan) or the related Anticipated Repayment Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is related to an ARD Loan), such interpolated yield converted to a monthly equivalent yield. If Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) is no longer published, the Certificate Administrator shall select a comparable publication as the source of the applicable yields of U.S. Treasury constant maturities.

No Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class V or Class R Certificates.

All distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums made in respect of the respective Classes of Regular Certificates or the VRR Interest on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(e) shall first be deemed to be distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, pro rata based upon the amount of principal distributed in respect of each such Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(c) above.

(f)           On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) withdraw amounts from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and shall distribute such amounts to reimburse the Holders of the Regular Certificates (in order of distribution priority) (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests) up to an amount equal to all Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to them and unreimbursed after application of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date and (ii) withdraw amounts from the VRR Interest Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and shall distribute such amounts to reimburse the VRR Interest Owners (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the LVRR Uncertificated Interest) up to an amount equal to all VRR Interest Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to them and unreimbursed after application of the VRR Interest Available Funds for such Distribution Date. Amounts paid from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the VRR Interest Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall not reduce the Certificate Balances of the Classes of Certificates receiving such distributions or the VRR Interest Balance, as applicable. Any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the VRR Interest Gain-on-Sale Account after such distributions shall be applied to offset future Realized Losses with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates, related Realized Losses in each case allocable to the Regular Certificates, future VRR Interest Realized Losses with respect to the VRR Interest and related VRR Interest Realized Losses allocable to the VRR Interest. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the VRR Interest Gain-on-Sale

-329- 

Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates from the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class LR Interest.

(g)          All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. All distributions made with respect to the VRR Interest shall be allocated pro rata among the VRR Interest Owners based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 4.01(h), 4.01(i) and 9.01, all such distributions with respect to each Class and the VRR Interest on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record, and the VRR Interest Owners of the VRR Interest previously identified to the Certificate Administrator, in each case at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner, as applicable, shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register (or, in the case of a VRR Interest Owner, at such address provided by it to the Certificate Administrator). The final distribution on each Certificate or any portion of the VRR Interest (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses or VRR Interest Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to such Certificate or such portion of the VRR Interest, as applicable) will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate or such portion of the VRR Interest at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners of such final distribution.

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Underwriters shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.

(h)          Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Certificates) or the VRR Interest (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any amount of VRR Interest Realized

-330- 

Losses previously allocated to the VRR Interest will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the related P&I Advance Determination Date, post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) a notice in electronic format to the effect that:

(i)            the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates or any portion of the VRR Interest will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates or such portion of the VRR Interest, as applicable, at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein specified; and

(ii)           no interest shall accrue on such Certificates or the VRR Interest from and after such Distribution Date.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder of Certificates of a Class or VRR Interest Owner on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such party to tender its Certificates or portion of the VRR Interest shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering parties. If any Certificates or portion of the VRR Interest as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners to surrender their Certificates or portion of the VRR Interest for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates or the entire VRR Interest shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders or VRR Interest Owners concerning the surrender of their Certificates or portion of the VRR Interest as it shall deem appropriate, subject to applicable law with respect to escheatment of funds. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders or VRR Interest Owners following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders or VRR Interest Owners shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner on any amount held in trust hereunder by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s or VRR Interest Owner’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) or portion of the VRR Interest for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h).

(i)            Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses or VRR Interest Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to the Regular Certificates or the VRR Interest shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(f), as applicable, to the Holders of the respective Class or the VRR Interest Owners otherwise entitled to distributions of interest and principal on such Class or the VRR Interest on the relevant Distribution Date; provided that all distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to a Class of Certificates which has since been retired shall be to the prior Holders that surrendered the Certificates of such Class upon retirement thereof and shall be

-331-

(c)           Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may, at its sole cost and expense, make available by electronic media, bulletin board service or Internet website (in addition to making information available as provided herein) any reports or other information the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is required or permitted to provide to any party to this Agreement, the Rating Agencies or any Certificateholder, any VRR Interest Owner or any prospective Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner that has provided the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with an Investor Certification or has executed a “click-through” confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 3.13 hereof (which may be a licensed or registered investment advisor) to the extent such action does not conflict with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation, any requirements to keep Privileged Information confidential), the terms of the Mortgage Loans or applicable law. Notwithstanding this paragraph, the availability of such information or reports on the Internet or similar electronic media shall not be deemed to satisfy any specific delivery requirements in this Agreement except as set forth herein. In connection with providing access to the Master Servicer’s website, the Master Servicer shall take reasonable measures to ensure that only such parties listed above may access such information including, without limitation, requiring registration, a confidentiality agreement and acceptance of a disclaimer. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be liable for dissemination of this information in accordance with this Agreement, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any information delivered, produced, or made available pursuant to Sections 3.13 and 4.02(b), other than information produced by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that such information otherwise meets the requirements set forth herein with respect to the form and substance of such information or reports. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to attach to any report provided pursuant to this subsection, any reasonable disclaimer with respect to information provided, or any assumptions required to be made by such report.

-338- 

The Special Servicer shall from time to time (and, in any event, as may be reasonably required by the Master Servicer) provide the Master Servicer with such information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as may be necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each report and any supplemental information to be provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Depositor shall have any obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate the information provided thereto by the Master Servicer. Unless the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report or file received from the Master Servicer contains erroneous information, the Certificate Administrator is authorized to rely thereon in calculating and making distributions to Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners in accordance with Section 4.01, preparing the Distribution Date Statement required by Section 4.02(a), allocating Realized Losses to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.04 and allocating VRR Interest Realized Losses to the VRR Interest in accordance with Section 4.04.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to this Section 4.02(c) or Section 4.02(d) shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.02(c) or of Section 4.02(d) to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).

Neither the Certificate Registrar, nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for the sufficiency under Rule 144A or any other securities laws of any available information so furnished to any person including any prospective purchaser of a Certificate or the VRR Interest or any interest therein, nor for the content or accuracy of any information so furnished which was prepared or delivered to them by another.

(e)           The information to which any Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner is entitled is limited to the information gathered and provided to the Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner by the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and by acceptance of any

-339- 

Certificate or an interest in the VRR Interest, as applicable, each Certificateholder and VRR Interest Owner agrees that except as specifically provided herein, no Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner shall contact any Mortgagor directly with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(f)           Upon the reasonable request of the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder that, in either case, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan identified to the Master Servicer’s (in the case of a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer’s (in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) reasonable satisfaction (at the expense of the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder) and if such information is in the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s possession, as applicable, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall provide or make available (or forward electronically) to the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, (at the expense of the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable) any Excluded Information (available to Privileged Persons through the Certificate Administrator’s Website but not accessible to the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, through the Certificate Administrator’s Website because the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to another Excluded Controlling Class Loan) relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is not a Borrower Party; provided that, in connection therewith, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, will keep such Excluded Information confidential and is not a Borrower Party, upon which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may conclusively rely. In addition, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, of an Investor Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1D that such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer referenced in this Section 4.02(f) shall include any applicable Excluded Special Servicer with respect to the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s).

Section 4.03     P&I Advances. (a) On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on each P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit from its own funds into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, with respect to the Mortgage Loans to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account, for future distribution to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances or (iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to

-340- 

be made. Any amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next succeeding P&I Advance Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances for such Distribution Date, on or before two (2) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any P&I Advance Date, the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.05 by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date, unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Distribution Date. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee of such circumstances by 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the related P&I Advance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any P&I Advance equal to the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account but shall be deposited into the Collection Account for payment to CREFC^® on such Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, then it shall provide to the related Other Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable, and Other Trustee or Non-Serviced Trustee, as applicable, (and, to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Other Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable) under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Non-Serviced PSA, as applicable written notice of the amount of such P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

(b)          Subject to Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(e) below, the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date, and each Mortgage Loan, shall be equal to: (i) the Periodic Payments (net of related Servicing Fees, any related Excess Interest (if applicable) and, in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a fee accruing at the related Pari Passu Loan Primary Servicing Fee Rate) other than Balloon Payments, that were due on the Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any successor REO Loan during the related Collection Period and were not received as of the close of business on the Business Day preceding the related P&I Advance Date (or not advanced by any Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the P&I Advance Date (including any successor REO Loan as to which the related Balloon Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment therefor. Subject to subsection (c) below, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any successor REO Loan, shall continue until the Distribution Date on which the

-341- 

proceeds, if any, received in connection with a Liquidation Event or the disposition of the REO Property, as the case may be, with respect thereto are to be distributed. No P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Companion Loan.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall make its determination (based on information provided by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer) that it has made a P&I Advance on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan independently of any determination made by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA in respect of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall provide the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee (and if required by the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer) or applicable Other Master Servicer and Other Trustee (and if required by the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Other Special Servicer), as the case may be, written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, that either has determined in accordance with the applicable Non-Serviced PSA with respect to a Non-Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding advance under such Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance is, a nonrecoverable advance, then the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may, based upon such determination, determine that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Thereafter, in either case, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan unless and until the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines that any such additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, which determination may be as a result of consultation with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.

-342- 

(d)          In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay the Trustee and itself (in that order of priority) as the case may be, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (but in no event from any funds allocable to a Serviced Companion Noteholder (unless related thereto), except to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such P&I Advance from the date made to but not including the date of reimbursement; provided, that no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance (i) if the related Periodic Payment is received on or before the related Due Date has passed and any applicable Grace Period has expired or (ii) if the related Periodic Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the related P&I Advance Date. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance, subject to Section 3.17 of this Agreement, as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account.

(e)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Excess Interest, Yield Maintenance Charges, Default Interest, late payment charges, Prepayment Premiums, or Balloon Payments or make any P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan and (ii) if an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, an “appraisal reduction amount” has been made in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA and the Master Servicer has notice of such appraisal reduction amount) then in the event of subsequent delinquencies thereon, the interest portion of the P&I Advance in respect of such Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (x) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance for such Mortgage Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this clause (ii), and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount (or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the portion of such Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the related Mortgage Loan), if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Periodic Payment due on the Maturity Date for a Balloon Mortgage Loan will be the Assumed Scheduled Payment for the related Distribution Date.

Section 4.04     Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate (ii) the amount, if any, by which (A) the product of (1) the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage and (2) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (for purposes of this calculation only, not giving effect to any reductions of the Stated Principal Balance for payments of principal collected on the Mortgage Loans that were used to reimburse any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) to the extent such

Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts are not otherwise determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) of the Mortgage Loans and any successor REO Loans immediately following such Distribution Date, is less than (B) the then-aggregate Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates after giving effect to distributions of principal on such Distribution Date (any such deficit, the “Realized Loss”) and (ii) the VRR Interest Realized Loss for such Distribution Date. Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Realized Losses so allocated to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby. Any allocation of VRR Realized Losses to the VRR Interest shall be made by reducing the VRR Interest Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. The allocation of Realized Losses or VRR Interest Realized Losses shall constitute an allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses or VRR Interest Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the applicable Class of Certificates (or VRR Interest Balance of the VRR Interest) in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. With respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses in sequential order, in each case up to the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates. With respect to the VRR Interest, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the Vertically Retained Percentage of the amount of such recovery will be added to the VRR Interest Balance of the VRR Interest, up to the amount of the unreimbursed VRR Interest Realized Losses allocated to the VRR Interest.

(b)          (i) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses, if any, allocable to such Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date. Any such write off shall be allocated first, to the Class G, Class F, Class E, Class D, Class C, Class B and Class A-S Certificates, in that order, and second, pro rata (based on their respective Certificate Balances), to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 Certificates, in each case until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates have been reduced to zero.

(ii)           On each Distribution Date, the VRR Interest Balance will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any VRR Interest Realized Losses, if any, allocable to the VRR Interest with respect to such Distribution Date.

-344- 

(c)           With respect to any Distribution Date, any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates and any VRR Interest Realized Losses allocated to the VRR Interest pursuant to Section 4.04(a) or Section 4.04(b), respectively, with respect to such Distribution Date shall reduce the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interest with respect thereto as a write-off.

Section 4.05     Appraisal Reduction Amounts; Collateral Deficiency Amounts. (a) For purposes of (x) determining the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes and the VRR Interest for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, (A) Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) will be allocated to each Class of Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class G, Class F, Class E, Class D, Class C, Class B and Class A-S Certificates, in that order, and finally, pro rata based on their Certificate Balances, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 Certificates), (B) the Vertical Risk Retention Allocation Percentage of Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to the Certificates pursuant to clause (A) will be allocated to the VRR Interest to notionally reduce the related VRR Interest Balance until the VRR Interest Balance has been reduced to zero, (C) Allocated Collateral Deficiency Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) will be allocated to each Class of Control Eligible Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero (i.e., to the Class G, Class F and Class E Certificates, in that order), and (D) the Vertical Risk Retention Allocation Percentage of Allocated Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to the Certificates pursuant to clause (C) will be allocated to the VRR Interest to notionally reduce the related VRR Interest Balance until the VRR Interest Balance has been reduced to zero.

As of the first Determination Date after a Serviced Mortgage Loan becomes 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 such Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the Master Servicer shall (i) promptly request from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information reasonably required by the Master Servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the Master Servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the Master Servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account

-345- 

the most recent appraisal obtained by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to this Agreement that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the Master Servicer thereof. Upon reasonable prior written request, the Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer information in its possession that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount , using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request therefor. None of the Master Servicer (except with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Special Servicer (with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

The Special Servicer (or the Master Servicer, in the case of a Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall promptly notify the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and the Certificate Administrator of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount, any Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan, AB Modified Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (which notification may be satisfied through delivery of such information included in the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File or the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Template included in the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package or such other report or reports mutually agreed upon between the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator). Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class. The Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of the identity of the Controlling Class as set forth in Section 3.23(m) and shall promptly post notice of any Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, calculated for purposes of (x) determining the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes and the VRR Interest for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property will be determined on an “as-is” basis.

The Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s calculation or determination of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer’s calculation of any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortage Loan. The Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s calculation or determination of any Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

-346- 

(b)          (i)  The Holders of the majority by Certificate Balance of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Class (any such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount or Allocated Collateral Deficiency Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, require the Master Servicer to request from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer) a second Appraisal of any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such Holders, the “Requesting Certificateholders”). With respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such Appraisal to be (x) delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Certificateholders’ written request and (y) prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that such MAI appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Certificateholders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal). With respect to any such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such second appraisal from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer and to forward such second appraisal to the Special Servicer.

(ii)          Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Master Servicer (for Collateral Deficiency Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Non-Serviced Special Servicer (for Appraisal Reduction Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans to extent provided for in the applicable Non-Serviced PSA and applicable Intercreditor Agreement) and the Special Servicer (for any Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted, and if so warranted, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on such supplemental Appraisal and any information received from the Master Servicer. If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each Appraised-Out Class shall, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable. The Holders of an Appraised-Out Class may not exercise any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as the Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class (such period beginning upon receipt by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of any request to obtain a supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted or (B) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, recalculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on the supplemental Appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”). The rights of the

-347- 

Controlling Class during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the most subordinate Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is not an Appraised-Out Class, if any, during such period.

(c)          The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to order an Appraisal or complete a valuation promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan. On the first Determination Date occurring on or after the tenth business day following the later of (a) the date on which the Special Servicer receives the related Appraisal or completes a valuation as described in the definition of “Appraisal Reduction Amount” and (b) the date on which the related Appraisal Reduction Event occurred, the Special Servicer shall calculate and report to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and, prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, the Appraisal Reduction Amount, taking into account the results of such Appraisal or valuation and receipt of information requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Such report shall be forwarded by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), to the extent a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization into which the such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the Special Servicer shall (1) within thirty (30) days of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event, and (2) upon its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, notify the Master Servicer of the occurrence of such anniversary or determination and order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance or to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, an expense of the Trust, or complete an internal valuation, as applicable and, promptly following receipt of any such Appraisal or performance of such valuation (or receipt of any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above), shall deliver a copy thereof to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and (prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder. Based upon such Appraisal or internal valuation (or any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above) and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is either in the Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and (prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing

-348- 

Certificateholder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and such report shall be delivered in the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Template format; provided, that the Special Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Master Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Special Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Master Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. Such report shall also be promptly forwarded by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), to the extent a related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the Other Servicer and the Other Trustee of such Other Securitization into which such Serviced Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan). If the Special Servicer is required to redetermine the Appraisal Reduction Amount, such redetermined Appraisal Reduction Amount, shall replace the prior Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, with respect to a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is the subject of an Appraisal Reduction Event to the extent the Special Servicer has obtained an Appraisal or conducted such a valuation (in accordance with requirements of this Agreement), as applicable, with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the twelve-month period immediately prior to the occurrence of the Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the Special Servicer may use the prior Appraisal or valuation, as applicable, in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan; provided that the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change to the related Mortgaged Property having occurred and affecting the validity of such Appraisal or valuation.

The Master Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail to the Special Servicer any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request therefor (which request shall be made promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, after the later of (i) the date on which the Special Servicer receives the related MAI appraisal or complete a valuation as described in the definition of “Appraisal Reduction Amount” and (ii) the date on which the related Appraisal Reduction Event occurred); provided, the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to use reasonable efforts to provide such information to the Special Servicer within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request. The Master Servicer shall not calculate Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

-349- 

(d)          Any Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced Whole Loan previously subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount, which has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable), and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing, will no longer be subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be calculated by the applicable party under and in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the applicable Non-Serviced PSA.

(e)          Each Serviced Whole Loan will be treated as a single Mortgage Loan for purposes of calculating an Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan(s) that comprise such Serviced Whole Loan. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Serviced AB Whole Loan will be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement or, if no allocation is specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, then, first, to the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (until its principal balance is notionally reduced to zero by such Appraisal Reduction Amounts) and second, pro rata, between the related Serviced AB Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (if any), based upon their respective outstanding principal balances. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement or, if no allocation is specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, then, pro rata, between the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, based upon their respective outstanding principal balances.

Section 4.06     Grantor Trust Reporting. (a) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund constituting the Grantor Trust, shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Grantor Trust shall be conducted so as to qualify such portion as, a “grantor trust” under subtitle A, chapter 1, subchapter J, part I, subpart E of the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have the power to vary the investment of the Holders of the Class V Certificates or the VRR Interest Owners in the Grantor Trust so as to improve their rate of return. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Certificate Administrator) and timely file all Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall (A) file, or cause to be filed, Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (or, if the Grantor Trust is a WHFIT, information will be provided on Form 1099) or such other form as may be applicable with the Internal Revenue Service with copies of the statements in the following clause and (B) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Holders of the Class V Certificates and the VRR Interest Owners their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Excess Interest and Excess Interest Distribution Account, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.

-350- 

(b)          If the Certificate Administrator receives notice that any Class V Certificate or portion of the VRR Interest is held through a nominee, then the Grantor Trust will be treated as a WHFIT that is a WHMT. In such event, the Certificate Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on its receipt of a notice as contemplated in the first sentence of this Section 4.06(b) and shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the Internal Revenue Service makes a determination that such notice is incorrect. As of the Closing Date, the Class V Certificates will be held through a nominee.

(c)          The Certificate Administrator shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall make available (via its website) WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.

(d)          The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Certificate Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each Holder of a Class V Certificate and VRR Interest Owner, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities or portion of the VRR Interest, as applicable, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of a Class V Certificate or portion of the VRR Interest, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.

(e)          To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIP for the Class V Certificates and the VRR Interest. The CUSIP so published will represent the Institutional Accredited Investor CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent such CUSIP has been received. Absent the receipt of such CUSIP, the Certificate Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

In the case of an Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable efforts to obtain an answer from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the content of such answer or any delay or failure to obtain such answer. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust, the Certificateholders and/or the VRR Interest Owners, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception, (vi) that answering the inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege or the disclosure of attorney work product or (vii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, shall

-352- 

promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination. In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in its capacity as Risk Retention Consultation Party) as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered.

None of the Underwriters, Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor or any of their respective Affiliates will certify to any of the information posted in the Investor Q&A Forum and no such party shall have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Certificate Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature. The Investor Q&A Forum will not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted via the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

(b)          The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner that is a Privileged Person, the Investor Registry. The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where Certificateholders, Certificate Owners and VRR Interest Owners that are Privileged Persons can register and thereafter obtain information with respect to any other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner that has so registered. Any person registering to use the Investor Registry shall certify that (a) it is a Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner and a Privileged Person and (b) it

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

Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary

-365- 

Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby. Until so exchanged in full and except as provided therein, the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.

(g)          Non-Book Entry Certificate to Book-Entry Certificate. If a holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than an HRR Certificate or Class R Certificate) wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is entitled to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, cause the exchange of all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an equivalent beneficial interest in the appropriate Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07 hereof, of (1) such Non-Book Entry Certificate, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such holder directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the portion of the Certificate Balance of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit M hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate), in the form of Exhibit N hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate) or in the form of Exhibit O hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate), then the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, shall cancel, or cause to be canceled, all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate, shall, if applicable, execute, authenticate and deliver to the transferor a new Non-Book Entry Certificate equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion retained by such transferor and shall instruct the Depository to increase, or cause to be increased, such Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged and to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate so canceled. Upon the written direction of the Depositor (which may be by email to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com) or its Affiliate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute any instrument as may be reasonably required by the Depository to effect such exchange.

(h)          Non-Book Entry Certificates on Initial Issuance Only. Subject to the issuance of Definitive Certificates, if and when permitted by Section 5.02(d), no Non-Book Entry Certificate shall be issued to a transferee of an interest in any Rule 144A Book-Entry

-366- 

Certificate, Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or to a transferee of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (or any portion thereof).

(i)           Other Exchanges. Definitive Certificates may be transferred and/or exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of subsections (c) through (f) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act, at the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Certificate Registrar.

(j)           Restricted Period. Prior to the termination of the Restricted Period with respect to the issuance of the Certificates, transfers of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the provisions of subsection (e) above.

(k)          If Non-Registered Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing a restrictive legend relating to compliance with the Act, or if a request is made to remove such legend on Certificates, the Non-Registered Certificates so issued shall bear the restrictive legend, or such legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Certificates that do not bear such legend.

(l)           All Certificates and any portion of the VRR Interest surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the Certificate Registrar’s customary procedures.

(m)         With respect to the ERISA Restricted Certificates, no sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition (other than any initial transfer to the Initial Purchasers) of any such Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the proposed purchaser or transferee of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, to the effect that such proposed purchaser or transferee is not (A) an employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) for which no election has been made under Section 410(d) of the Code or any other plan subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) which is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (B) a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such Plan (within the meaning of the application of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA), other than an insurance company using the assets of its general account under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of such Certificates by such insurance company would be exempt from the

-367- 

prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code under Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, would not result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law) or (ii) if such Certificate which may be held only by a person not described in clauses (A) or (B) above, is presented for registration in the name of a purchaser or transferee that is any of the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation of any Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any such Similar Law) in addition to those set forth in the Agreement. The Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall not register the sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificate unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator have received either the representation letter described in clause (i) above or the Opinion of Counsel described in clause (ii) above. The costs of any of the foregoing representation letters or Opinions of Counsel shall not be borne by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor or the Trust. Each Certificate Owner of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not a Person specified in clauses (i)(A) or (i)(B) above. Any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificates that would constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, or would otherwise violate the provisions of this Section 5.03(m) shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

(n)          The Class V and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest may not be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Plan, or any person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan (within the meaning of the application of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) to purchase the Class V or Class R Certificate or the VRR Interest. Each prospective transferee of a Class V or Class R Certificate or the VRR Interest shall deliver to the transferor and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2, stating that the prospective transferee is not a Plan or a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include Plan assets by reason of investment in the entity by such Plan and the application of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA). Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of these transfer restrictions shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates or the VRR Interest.

Each Person who has or acquires any Residual Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Ownership Interest to have agreed to

-368- 

be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Residual Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i)           Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Residual Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.03(n) by a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee shall be void ab initio and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.

(ii)          No Residual Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Residual Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur tax liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (3) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they become due, (4) the proposed transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person, (5) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.03(n) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-2 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a

-369- 

Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements in the Transferee Affidavit are false.

(iii)         Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer to such proposed transferee shall be effected and such proposed Transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate Register; provided, the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee. Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a Transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than sixty (60) days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

(o)          The Class V Certificates and the VRR Interest may only be transferred to and owned by Institutional Accredited Investors or Qualified Institutional Buyers. The Class R Certificates may only be transferred to and owned by Qualified Institutional Buyers.

(p)          Until the expiration of the Transfer Restriction Period, no Person shall be permitted to own, directly or indirectly, any interest in the HRR Certificates other than (i) the Retaining Sponsor or one of its Majority Owned Affiliates that is not a Non-Exempt Person or (ii) the Third Party Purchaser or one of its Majority Owned Affiliates. After the expiration of the Transfer Restriction Period, the HRR Certificates or any portion thereof may be transferred to Institutional Accredited Investors and Qualified Institutional Buyers. At all times, if a transfer of the HRR Certificates (other than the initial transfer from the Initial Purchasers to KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners Aggregator I L.P.) is to be made, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-5, countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and with a medallion stamp guarantee of such transferee, and (ii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-6, countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and with a medallion stamp guarantee of such transferor. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall,

-370- 

subject to Section 5.01(c) and Section 5.03, reflect the assignment of the HRR Certificates in the name of the prospective transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the HRR Certificates be held as a Global Certificate.

(q)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners and other payees of interest or original issue discount that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners or payees shall not be required for such withholding, and each Certificateholder and VRR Interest Owner shall be deemed by the acceptance of its Certificate or interest in the VRR Interest to agree to provide the Certificate Administrator information relating to such Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner solely to the extent necessary for the Certificate Administrator to determine any required withholding amounts. If the Certificate Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Person. Such amounts shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Persons for all purposes of this Agreement.

(r)           Until the expiration of the Transfer Restriction Period, no Person shall be permitted to own, directly or indirectly, any interest in the VRR Interest other than (i) a Sponsor or one of its Majority Owned Affiliates that is not a Non-Exempt Person or (ii) a Person that provides financing permitted under the Risk Retention Rule to a Sponsor or such Majority Owned Affiliate. A VRR Interest Owner, if it wishes to transfer its interest in the VRR Interest, shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing of such transfer and identify the new VRR Interest Owner. After the expiration of the Transfer Restriction Period, the VRR Interest or any portion thereof may be transferred to a Qualified VRR Interest Owner. The Certificate Administrator shall register the ownership of the VRR Interest on a registry of ownership maintained by the Certificate Administrator, except that the Certificate Administrator shall not record the initial ownership of the VRR Interest by the Sponsors or any subsequent transfer of the VRR Interest to a Majority Owned Affiliate of a Sponsor. Any transfer of an interest in the VRR Interest (including to a Majority Owned Affiliate of a Sponsor) shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law unless all of the following is provided to the Certificate Administrator: (i) a certification in the form of Exhibit D-4 hereto from the transferor and (ii) a certification in the form of Exhibit D-3 hereto from the transferee, together with wiring instructions and contact information for such transferee. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, no Person shall have any rights hereunder with respect to the VRR Interest unless (x) in the case of a Sponsor or its Majority Owned Affiliate, such Person is identified in writing to the Certificate Administrator as being a VRR Interest Owner or (y) in the case of any subsequent transferee, such Person is identified as being a VRR Interest Owner on the ownership registry. The Certificate Administrator, the other parties to this Agreement and the Certificateholders shall be entitled to treat each VRR Interest Owner (in the case of any subsequent VRR Interest Owner, as recorded on such ownership registry) as the owner in fact

-371- 

thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in the VRR Interest on the part of any other Person. Any transfer of an interest in the VRR Interest that is not in compliance with Section 5.03(o) or this Section 5.03(r) shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law.

(s)          Each Sponsor and any subsequent VRR Interest Owner shall be deemed by virtue of its acceptance of the VRR Interest to represent to the Trust and the Certificate Administrator (for the benefit of the borrowers) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of the Agreement, each VRR Interest Owner shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator evidence satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator substantiating that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Certificate Administrator is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (a) if a VRR Interest Owner is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Certificate Administrator an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (b) if a VRR Interest Owner is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the borrowers is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such VRR Interest Owner shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Certificate Administrator an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) or Form W-8BEN-E, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such VRR Interest Owner, as evidence of such VRR Interest Owner’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to a VRR Interest Owner in respect of the VRR Interest or otherwise until such VRR Interest Owner shall have furnished to the Certificate Administrator the forms, certificates, statements or documents required by this Section 5.03(s).

Section 5.04    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates or VRR Interest. If (a) any mutilated Certificate or portion of the VRR Interest is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate or portion of the VRR Interest and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate or portion of the VRR Interest has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate or portion of the VRR Interest, a new Certificate or certificate evidencing such portion of the VRR Interest of like tenor and interest in the Trust. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate or certificate evidencing a portion of the VRR Interest under this Section 5.04, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any

-372- 

replacement Certificate or certificate evidencing a portion of the VRR Interest issued pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate or certificate evidencing a portion of the VRR Interest shall be found at any time.

Section 5.05     Persons Deemed Owners. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate or the VRR Interest is registered as the owner of such Certificate or the VRR Interest for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, that to the extent that a party to this Agreement responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information required to be distributed to Certificateholders or the VRR Interest Owners has been provided an Investor Certification, such party to this Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee) under the same circumstances, and subject to the same conditions, as such report, statement or other information as would be provided to a Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner.

Section 5.06     Access to List of Certificateholders’ and VRR Interest Owners’ Names and Addresses; Special Notices. (a)  The Certificate Registrar shall maintain in as current form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners If any Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner that has provided an Investor Certification (i) requests in writing from the Certificate Registrar a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners, (ii) states that such Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner desires to communicate with other Certificateholders or VRR Interest Owners with respect to its rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and (iii) provides a copy of the communication which Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner proposes to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such request, furnish such Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner (at such Certificateholder’s or VRR Interest Owner’s sole cost and expense) access during normal business hours to the most recent list of the Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners. Every Certificateholder and VRR Interest Owner, by receiving and holding a Certificate or interest in the VRR Interest, agrees that the Certificate Registrar shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners hereunder, regardless of the source from which information was derived. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Depositor shall be entitled to a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners from time to time upon request therefor.

-373- 

(b)          (i)  The Certificate Administrator shall include in any Form 10-D any written request received in accordance with Section 11.04(a) prior to the Distribution Date to which the Form 10-D relates (and on or after the Distribution Date preceding such Distribution Date) from a Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or VRR Interest Owner to communicate with other Certificateholders, Certificate Owners or VRR Interest Owners related to Certificateholders or Certificate Owners exercising their rights under the terms of this Agreement.

In addition, the notice will announce whether the proposition has been adopted by the Certificateholders and/or the VRR Interest Owners. The notice shall be distributed in accordance with the methods described in Section 5.10(a) above. The Certificate Administrator shall also include such notice on the Form 10-D prepared in connection with the distribution period that corresponds with the date such notice is distributed.

Unless specifically provided herein, all such votes require ABS Interests evidencing a majority of the Voting Rights to carry a proposition.

Any failure to so notify the Operating Advisor shall not affect any rights any of the foregoing Persons may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Operating Advisor’s defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby.

(g)          Neither the Operating Advisor nor its Affiliates or any of the partners, directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, employees or agents of the Operating Advisor shall be under any liability to any Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, that this provision shall not protect the Operating Advisor against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.

(h)          The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees to indemnify the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor and the Trust and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager, employee or agent thereof, and hold them harmless, from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising from or as a result of any willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Asset Representations Reviewer, in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard by the Asset Representations Reviewer of its duties and obligations hereunder or by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made herein.

(j)           For purposes of this Section 6.04 and Section 11.12, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, will be deemed not to have engaged in willful misconduct or committed bad faith or negligence in the performance of their respective obligations and duties hereunder or acted in negligent disregard of such obligations and duties if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to follow any terms of any Mortgage Loan documents because the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, determines that compliance with such terms would or potentially would cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code (for which determination the Master Servicer and Special Servicer will be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which will be reimbursed as an additional expense of the Trust).

Section 6.05    Depositor, Master Servicer and Special Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall resign from their respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on each of them except upon (a) determination that fulfillment of such party’s duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law or (b) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor (which may be appointed by the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable), and receipt by the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25). Any such determination

-392- 

permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (a) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning party) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder. Unless applicable law requires the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be) to be effective immediately, and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to the prior sentence so states, no such resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under clause (a) above shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02 and no such resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall become effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Upon any termination (as described in Section 7.01(c)) or resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pursuant to this Section 6.05, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have the right and opportunity to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer with respect to this Section 6.05; provided that, such successor master servicer or special servicer shall not be the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor or one of their respective Affiliates and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) such successor special servicer is approved by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The resigning party shall pay all costs and expenses (including out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 6.05. Except as provided in Section 7.01(c), in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer have the right to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer if such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is terminated or removed pursuant to Section 7.01.

Section 6.06     Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder; provided, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be relieved of any of their respective obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 6.07     The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer as Certificate Owner. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof may become the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate with

-393- 

(except as otherwise set forth in the definition of “Certificateholder”) the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof.

Section 6.08     The Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party. (a)  Other than with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the related holder of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and subject to the DCH Limitations, (i) the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to advise the party processing a Special Servicer Major Decision pursuant to Section 3.36 with respect matters relating to such Special Servicer Major Decision, and such party shall not be permitted to take or consent to any action that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision as to which the Directing Certificateholder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days with respect to an action that constitutes a Major Decision under clause (xv) of the definition of “Major Decision”) (plus, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is required to obtain the consent of a Serviced Companion Noteholder, any additional time afforded to such Serviced Companion Noteholder under the related Intercreditor Agreement) after the receipt of a written report by the Special Servicer describing in reasonable detail (x) the background and circumstances requiring action of the Special Servicer (y) the proposed course of action recommended and (z) all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and in the Special Servicer’s possession in order to grant or withhold such consent, which report may (in the sole discretion of the Special Servicer) take the form of an Asset Status Report (the “Major Decision Reporting Package”) (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day (or thirty (30) day) period (or, if applicable, any longer period due to additional time afforded to a Serviced Companion Noteholder), then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have approved such action) and (ii) with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any action constituting a Master Servicer Major Decision as to which the Directing Certificateholder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days with respect to clause (xv) of the definition of “Major Decision”) after receipt of the Master Servicer's written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and in the Master Servicer's possession in order to grant or withhold such consent (provided; that if such written objection has not been received by the Master Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day (or thirty (30) day) period, the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have approved such action).

In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and subject to the DCH Limitations), the Directing Certificateholder (subject to any rights, if any, of the related Companion Holder to advise the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan as the Directing

-394- 

Certificateholder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction or objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan or related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners.

In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party or any advice from the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party would cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Certificateholder that does not violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

The Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, is not required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder for any Major Decision after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event (and subject to the DCH Limitations), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder in connection with any Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Certificateholder in respect thereof. In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder within ten (10) Business Days following its written request for input on any required consultation, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder on the specific matter; provided, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond shall not relieve the Special Servicer or Master Servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

-395- 

With respect to any Major Decision related to any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded RRCP Loan, upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the party processing the Major Decision as specified under Section 3.36 shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in each case within the same time period as such party would be required to consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to such Major Decision (assuming the Directing Certificateholder had such right with respect to such Mortgage Loan); provided, that prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, such Mortgage Loan must also be a Specially Serviced Loan. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from the Risk Retention Consultation Party within ten (10) days following the later of (i) the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, written request for input on any requested consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by such Risk Retention Consultation Party related to the subject matter of such consultation (and in the possession of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will not be obligated to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party on the specific matter; provided, that the failure of such Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond will not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from using reasonable efforts to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of or consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, the Operating Advisor or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and the holders of any related Serviced Companion Loan) (as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans)), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Special Servicer’s (in the case of the Master Servicer) or the Directing Certificateholder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Certificateholder, the Operating Advisor or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as the case may be), provided that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, provides the Special Servicer (in the case of the Master Servicer) or the Directing Certificateholder (or the Operating Advisor or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if applicable) with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor.

The Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not be protected against any liability to a Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties owed to the

-396- 

Controlling Class Certificateholders or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders.

The Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor at the same time it is required to provide such Major Decision Reporting Package to the Directing Certificateholder (without regard to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event and otherwise assuming that the Directing Certificateholder is entitled to receive such documentation); provided, that with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan no Major Decision Reporting Package shall be required to be delivered prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event. With respect to any particular Major Decision and/or related Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report required to be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer shall make available to the Operating Advisor a Servicing Officer with relevant knowledge regarding any Mortgage Loan and such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report in order to address reasonable questions that the Operating Advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report. In addition, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor (telephonically or electronically) in connection with any proposed Major Decision, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from the Operating Advisor within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) its written request for input on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor on the specific matter; provided, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters shall not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has otherwise occurred and is continuing), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

The Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be protected against any liability to the VRR Interest Owner that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties owed to the VRR Interest Owner or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the VRR Interest Owner.

-397- 

Any Non-Serviced Controlling Holder with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall have no liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or VRR Interest Owners for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. By its acceptance of a Certificate or portion of the VRR Interest, as applicable, each Certificateholder and VRR Interest Owner acknowledges and agrees that any such Non-Serviced Controlling Holder, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may take actions that favor the interests of other parties over the Certificates and the VRR Interest, and that such Non-Serviced Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates or the VRR Interest Owners, that such Non-Serviced Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may act solely in its own interests, that such Non-Serviced Controlling Holder shall not be liable to any Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner by reason of its having acted solely in its own interests, and that such Non-Serviced Controlling Holder shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner may take any action whatsoever against such Non-Serviced Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and subject to the DCH Limitations, (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall have no right to consent to or direct any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) after the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall have no direction, consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Certificateholder.

(c)The Directing Certificateholder shall not have the appointment, consent, consultation or notice rights described in this Agreement with respect to (i) a Serviced Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded DCH Loan or (ii) a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan (provided, that prior to a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder will be entitled to exercise any consultation rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under the related Intercreditor Agreement) (collectively, the “DCH Limitations”).

(d)With respect to the Northside Shopping Center Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan that is included in the Trust (identified as Mortgage Loan No. 35 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives notice of the reversion of title to the Mortgaged Property due to the sale of intoxicating liquor,

-398- 

such party will notify the other such party, and the Special Servicer shall make a demand under the Mortage Loan agreement requiring the borrower to prepay such Mortgage Loan within 30 days of such written demand.

(b)If any Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this Section 7.01(b), the “Affected Party”) shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee or the Depositor may, and at the written direction of (A) the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the Special Servicer and, in any event, (x) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, (y) subject to the DCH Limitations and (z) other than with respect to a Servicing Shift Loan (unless the Directing Certificateholder is entitled to exercise the termination rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under the related Intercreditor Agreement)), (B) the Risk Retention Consultation Party (solely with respect to the Special Servicer and other than with respect to an applicable Excluded RRCP Loan and each Servicing Shift Whole Loan), (C) the related Servicing Shift Control Note holder (to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement, solely with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan and the special servicer in respect thereof), or (D) the holders of ABS Interests entitled to 25% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, terminate (and the Depositor may direct the Trustee to terminate the Affected Party upon five Business Days’ written notice if there is a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(iii)(A)), by notice in writing to the Affected Party, with a copy of such notice to the Depositor and the Operating Advisor, all of the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the Affected Party under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof (other than as a holder of ABS Interests or Companion Holder, if applicable); provided, that the Affected Party shall be entitled to the payment of accrued and unpaid compensation and reimbursement through the date of such termination as provided for under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses incurred. From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE VII, all authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate), the VRR Interest (other than as a VRR Interest Owner) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee with respect to a termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Affected Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to

If replaced as a result of a Servicer Termination Event, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be responsible for the costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

(c)If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under Section 7.01(b) solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(viii) or (ix), the Master Servicer shall have a forty-five (45) day period after such notice in which to find a successor master servicer qualified to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.03 and Section 7.02 and to which the Master Servicer can sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement. During such forty-five (45) day period the Master Servicer may continue to serve as Master Servicer hereunder. In the event that the Master Servicer is unable, within such forty-five (45) day period, to cause a qualified successor master servicer to assume the duties of the Master Servicer hereunder, then and in such event, the Trustee shall assume the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder.

Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b), if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer shall occur and be continuing that affects the Holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, then, so long as the Special Servicer is not otherwise terminated, the Holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or the Other Trustee appointed under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan. A replacement Special Servicer shall be selected by the Trustee or, prior to a Control Termination Event, by the Directing Certificateholder (subject to the DCH Limitations). Any Special Servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu

-402- 

Mortgage Loan cannot at any time be (without the prior written consent of the holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) the person (or Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. Any such Special Servicer under this paragraph shall meet the eligibility requirements of Section 7.02 and the eligibility requirements of the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the appointment thereof shall comply with the provisions of Section 7.02. Any appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this paragraph shall be subject to the receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment or replacement will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Companion Loan Securities (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

(d)Subject to the rights of the holder of a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement at any time prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan or Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to terminate the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or without cause, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor; such termination to be effective upon the appointment of a successor special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) meeting the requirements of this Section 7.01(d). Upon a termination of such Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (subject to the DCH Limitations) shall appoint a successor special servicer; provided, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02, (ii) the Trustee has provided each Rating Agency with a Rating Agency Communication and (iii) no replacement of the Special Servicer shall be effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. The recommendation of replacement of the Special Servicer by the Operating Advisor and the approval of the Certificateholders of such Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall not preclude the Directing Certificateholder from appointing a replacement special servicer, provided that such replacement may not be the removed Special Servicer or its Affiliate.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and upon (a) the written direction of holders of ABS Interests evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances and the VRR Interest Balance pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof) allocable to the Principal Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest, as applicable, requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction to assume the duties of the Special Servicer hereunder, (b) payment by such holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses

-403- 

(including any legal fees and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and which will not be additional expenses of the Trust and (c) delivery by such holders to each Rating Agency (with a copy to the Certificate Administrator and Trustee) of a Rating Agency Communication (which Rating Agency Communication shall be provided at the expense of such holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners of such request on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b) and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all applicable holders of ABS Interests in such regard, which vote shall occur within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice. Upon the written direction of holders of Principal Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights that constitute a minimum Quorum, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor special servicer to assume the duties of such Special Servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated by such Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and VRR Interest Owner may (i) access such notices via the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Certificateholder’s or VRR Interest Owner’s direction to remove the Special Servicer shall not apply to (i) any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period or (ii) any Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

A Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder shall have the right, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan, so long as (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation; (B) the successor special servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor special servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to any Serviced AB Whole Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator; and (C) the Certificate Administrator shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with this Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, this Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with the terms hereof.

The parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement, if a servicer termination event on the part of a Non-Serviced Special Servicer under a Non-Serviced PSA remains unremedied and affects the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the holder of the

-404- 

related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (or the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Directing Certificateholder (or, if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, acting at the direction of the Operating Advisor)) will be entitled to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The appointment (or replacement) of a special servicer with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan will in any event be subject to Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. A replacement special servicer will be selected by the related Non-Serviced Trustee or, prior to a consultation termination event under the related Non-Serviced PSA, by the related Non-Serviced Controlling Holder; provided, that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the special servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan cannot at any time be the Person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, without the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder.

Each Servicing Shift Control Note holder shall have the right, to the extent provided under the related Intercreditor Agreement, to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan, as applicable, so long as: (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation; (B) the successor special servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor special servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan, pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator; and (C) the Certificate Administrator shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with this Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to related Servicing Shift Whole Loan, and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, this Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with the terms hereof.

If at any time the Operating Advisor, in its sole discretion exercised in good fath determines that (i) the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and (ii) the replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners as a collective whole, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written report, substantially in the form of Exhibit W attached hereto, setting forth the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with any information the Operating Advisor considered relevant to its recommendation) and recommending a replacement Special Servicer (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its

-405- 

recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer to assume the duties of such Special Servicer, which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners of such recommendation and the related report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and by mail conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of holders of ABS Interests representing a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all ABS Interests whose holders voted on the matter, provided that the ABS Interest holders that so voted on the matter (x) hold ABS Interests representing at least 20% of the outstanding principal balance of all ABS Interests on an aggregate basis within 180 days of posting of the Operating Advisor’s recommendation to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (y) include at least three (3) Certificateholders, Certificate Owners and/or VRR Interest Owners that are not Risk Retention Affiliated with each other and (ii) delivery of a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency by the Certificate Administrator with respect to the termination of the Special Servicer and the appointment of a successor special servicer recommended by the Operating Advisor following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee shall (A) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint a successor special servicer and (B) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel) associated with providing such Rating Agency Communications and administering such vote and the Operating Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be an additional expense of the Trust. In the event that the Certificate Administrator does not receive the affirmative vote described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder.

No penalty or fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer with respect to any termination pursuant to this Section 7.01(d). All costs of any such termination made by the Directing Certificateholder without cause shall be paid by the Holders of the Controlling Class.

For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification of the Operating Advisor in Section 6.04 shall include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.04, any action or claim arising from, or relating to, the Operating Advisor’s determination under this Section 7.01(d) (regarding removal of the Special Servicer), or the result of the vote of the Certificateholders (regarding removal of the Special Servicer).

(e)The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall, as the case may be, from time to time, take all such reasonable actions as are required by it in accordance with the related Servicing Standard in order to prevent the Certificates from being placed on “watch” status or downgraded due to servicing or special servicing, as applicable, concerns by any Rating Agency.

-406- 

In no event shall the remedy for a breach of the foregoing covenant extend beyond termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(viii) and (ix) and the resulting operation of Section 7.01(b) and (c). The operation of this subsection (e) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a)(viii) or (ix).

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any class of certificates backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Companion Loan, then the Master Servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan or the holders of any certificates backed, wholly or partially, by such Serviced Companion Loan, but upon the written direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Serviced Whole Loan.

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.01, with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan, if any, the Special Servicer shall resign as Special Servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded DCH Loan, the Directing Certificateholder may select (and, at any time, replace) an Excluded Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan in accordance with this Agreement. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded DCH Loan or if the Directing Certificateholder is entitled to appoint the Excluded Special Servicer but does not so appoint within thirty (30) days of notice of such resignation, the resigning Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to select the related Excluded Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer. In addition, the Special Servicer shall have no liability with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer, so long as at the time of appointment the Excluded Special Servicer selected by the resigning Special Servicer meets the criteria of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. It shall be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then current ratings of the Certificates and the equivalent from each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any class of securities backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, (ii) the applicable Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the applicable Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator and any applicable depositor and certificate administrator of any other securitization, if applicable, that contains a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the information, if any, required pursuant to Item 6.02 of the Form 8-K regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

If at any time the Special Servicer is no longer a Borrower Party with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (including, without limitation, as a result of the related

-407- 

Mortgaged Property becoming REO Property), (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer shall resign, (2) the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan shall no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) the Special Servicer shall become the Special Servicer again for such related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and (4) the Special Servicer shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (provided that the Special Servicer will remain entitled to all other special servicing compensation with respect to all Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans that are not Excluded Special Servicer Loans during such time).

The applicable Excluded Special Servicer shall perform all of the obligations of the Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan and shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan earned during such time as the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

If a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, a related Excluded Special Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has actual knowledge that a Mortgage Loan is no longer an Excluded Loan, an Excluded Controlling Class Loan or an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer, the related Excluded Special Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide prompt written notice thereof to each of the other parties to this Agreement.

Section 7.02Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, either resigns pursuant to subsection (a) of the first sentence of Section 6.05 or receives a notice of termination for cause pursuant to Section 7.01(b), and provided that no acceptable successor has been appointed within the time period specified in Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall be the successor to such party, until such successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is appointed as provided in this Section 7.02 or by the Directing Certificateholder as provided in Section 7.01(d), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to, and have the benefit of, all of the rights, (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) benefits, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liability relating thereto and that arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the terminated party’s failure under Section 7.01 to provide information or moneys required hereunder shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The appointment of a successor master servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer, and the appointment of a successor special servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Special Servicer. The Trustee in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case

-408- 

may be, shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer or for any losses incurred by the predecessor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder, nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder solely as a result of its obligations as successor master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be. Subject to Section 3.11, as compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all fees relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Companion Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, including but not limited to any income or other benefit from any Permitted Investment pursuant to Section 3.06, and subject to Section 3.11, and the Trustee as successor to the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Should the Trustee succeed to the capacity of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be afforded the same standard of care and liability as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder notwithstanding anything in Section 8.01 to the contrary, but only with respect to actions taken by it in its role as successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, and not with respect to its role as Trustee hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to act as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as a servicer by each Rating Agency, or if the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the Special Servicer) (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) or the Holders of ABS Interests entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights (or the related Controlling Holder (to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement, solely with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan and the special servicer in respect thereof)) so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution which meets the criteria set forth in Section 6.05 and otherwise herein, as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until (i) the assumption in writing by the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder that arise thereafter, (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), (iii) such appointment (solely with respect to the Special Servicer) has been approved (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and (iv) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related

-409- 

Companion Loan. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer as described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, that no such compensation with respect to a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, shall be in excess of that permitted the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. The Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (whichever is not the terminated party) and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing function (other than with respect to a termination without cause) under this Agreement shall be borne by the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the party requesting such termination or the successor master servicer or special servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. If and to the extent that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the party requesting such termination shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust. In the event of a termination without cause, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the party requesting such termination, or as otherwise set forth herein; provided that the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not bear any such costs and expenses.

-411- 

including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, as the case may be, (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Master Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder); provided, that if Advances made by the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Trustee, until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of the Master Servicer for such Advances.

The Certificate Administrator shall make elections or cause elections to be made to treat each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under Applicable State and Local Tax Law.

(b)The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” (“Startup Day”) of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

-433- 

(c)The Certificate Administrator shall act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving either such REMIC and shall represent each such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ or accountants’ fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a) unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence.

(d)By acceptance thereof, (i) the Holders of the Class R Certificates hereby agree to the irrevocable designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “representative” of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code, and (ii) the Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates hereby agrees to the irrevocable appointment of the Certificate Administrator as its agent to perform all of the duties of the “tax matters person” for the Trust REMICs.

(e)The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file, or cause to be filed, all of the Tax Returns that it determines are required with respect to each Trust REMIC created hereunder, and shall cause the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign) such Tax Returns in a timely manner. The ordinary expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne by the Certificate Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor.

(f)The Certificate Administrator shall provide or cause to be provided (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of such Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, or in the case of a Transfer to an agent thereof, to such agent, (ii) to the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service on Form 8811, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the name, title, address and telephone number of the “tax matters person” who will serve as the representative of each of the Trust REMICs created hereunder.

(g)The Certificate Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause the Trust to take such actions as are reasonably within the Certificate Administrator’s control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the Trustee shall assist the Certificate Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to do so. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein,

-434- 

that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property”) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Certificate Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Certificate Administrator determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust and the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners, at the expense of the Trust, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust, any Trust REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the Certificate Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, result in the imposition of such a tax (not including a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”). The Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Certificate Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. The Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Certificate Administrator will to the extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of each Trust REMIC as “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(h)In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on any Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates and the VRR Interest Owners, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.01(h); provided that with respect to the estimated amount of tax imposed on any “net income from foreclosure property” pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local tax authority, the Special Servicer shall retain in the related REO Account a reserve for the payment of such taxes in such amounts and at such times as it shall deem appropriate (or as advised by the Certificate Administrator in writing), and shall remit to the Master Servicer such reserved amounts as the Master Servicer shall request in order to pay such taxes. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed by any Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust (other than as a consequence of a breach of its obligations under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any “prohibited transaction”

-435- 

under Section 860F(a) of the Code or the amount of any taxable contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such prohibited transactions tax. To the extent that any such tax (other than any such tax paid in respect of “net income from foreclosure property”) is paid to the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state or local tax authorities, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Class R Certificates (as applicable) and shall distribute such retained amounts, (x) in the case of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, to the Upper-Tier REMIC to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses or VRR Interest Realized Losses, as applicable, arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest in the manner specified in Section 4.01(c) and (y) in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC, to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest Owners in the manner specified in Section 4.01(a) and Section 4.01(b), to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses or VRR Interest Realized Losses, as applicable, arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class UR Interest. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement which breach constitutes willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence by such party.

(i)The Certificate Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain or cause to be maintained books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC Provisions.

(j)Following the Startup Day, neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC unless the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such Trust REMIC will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

(k)Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which the Trust or any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit the Trust or any Trust REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(m)None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage

(n)The Certificate Administrator’s authority under this Agreement includes the authority to make, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to make, any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Section 6221 of the Code (or successor provisions) to either Trust REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by either Trust REMIC under Section 6225 of the Code (or successor provisions) of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any Class R Certificateholder, past or present.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of ARTICLE XI of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor (and any Other Depositor of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) with the provisions of Regulation AB and the related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its rights to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in reasonable good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, in each case, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, and agree to comply with requests made by the Depositor (or any Other Depositor or Other Trustee of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations of Regulation AB (to the extent such interpretations require compliance and are not “grandfathered”). In connection with the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2017-C33, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C33, and any Other Securitization subject to Regulation AB that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall cooperate fully with the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, and any Other Depositor, Other Trustee and Other Certificate Administrator of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, to deliver or make available to the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator, and any such Other Depositor, Other Trustee or Other Certificate Administrator, as applicable (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information (in its possession or reasonably attainable) necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, to permit the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and any Sub-Servicer, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), reasonably believed by the Depositor or the related Other Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

For purposes of this ARTICLE XI, to the extent any party has an obligation to

-439- 

exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause a third party to perform, such party hereunder shall not be required to bring any legal action against such third party in connection with such obligation.

Section 11.02Succession; Subcontractors. (a)  As a condition to the succession to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer or to any Sub-Servicer (but only if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant and a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2)) as servicer or sub-servicer or succession to the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, such Sub Servicer or Certificate Administrator may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer or to any such Sub-Servicer or Certificate Administrator, the person removing and replacing the Master Servicer and Special Servicer or Certificate Administrator shall provide to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment (or such shorter period as is agreed to by the Depositor), (x) written notice to the Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information relating to such successor reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act); provided that if disclosing such information prior to such effective date would violate any applicable law or confidentiality agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Additional Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall submit such disclosure to the Depositor no later than the first Business Day after the effective date of such succession or appointment.

(b)Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sub-Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator and each Sub-Servicer, for purposes of this Section 11.02, a “Servicer”) is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder. If such Subcontractor will be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall promptly upon written request provide to the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller (and, subject to the reimbursement of any applicable expenses under Section 11.15, any Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator and Other Depositor related to any Other Securitization that includes a related Serviced Companion Loan) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor, such Mortgage Loan Seller or such Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator or Other Depositor, as applicable) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of such Subcontractor and (ii) the elements of the Servicing Criteria that will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each such Subcontractor. As a condition to the utilization by such Servicer of any Subcontractor determined to be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall (i) with respect to any such Subcontractor engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, and (ii) with respect to any other subcontractor with which it has entered into a servicing relationship,

With respect to any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, such Servicer shall be responsible for using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and with respect to each other Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer, such Servicer shall obtain from each such Servicing Function Participant and deliver to the applicable Persons any assessment of compliance report and related accountant’s attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 11.10 and Section 11.11, in each case, as and when required to be delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Custodian shall not be permitted to utilize any Subcontractor to perform any of its obligations hereunder.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer engages a Subcontractor, other than an Initial Sub-Servicer in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, such Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and whether any such Subcontractor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB. If a Servicer determines, pursuant to the preceding sentence, that such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB, then such Subcontractor shall be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer for purposes of this Agreement, the engagement of such Sub-Servicer shall not be effective unless and until notice is given to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator of any such Sub-Servicer and Sub-Servicing Agreement. Other than with respect to the Initial Sub-Servicer, no Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be effective until fifteen (15) days after such written notice is received by the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator (or such shorter period as is agreed to by the Depositor). Such notice shall contain all information reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to accurately and timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).

(d)In connection with the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver written notice to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider, which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), in each case at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment (or if such prior notice is violative of applicable law or any applicable confidentiality agreement, no later than one (1) Business Day after such effective date of succession) and shall furnish to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, all information reasonably necessary for the Certificate Administrator to accurately and timely report, pursuant to Section

-441- 

11.07, the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this ARTICLE XI, in connection with any Sub-Servicer and/or any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, with respect to all matters related to Regulation AB, the Master Servicer shall not have any obligation other than to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Sub-Servicer to comply with its obligations under such Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(f)Any information furnished pursuant to this Section 11.02 shall also be provided, and subject to the reimbursement of any applicable expenses under Section 11.15, to each Other Depositor and each Other Certificate Administrator (to the extent the information relates to a party that services, specially services or is trustee for a Serviced Companion Loan) in the same time frame as set forth in this Section 11.02.

(b)In the event that the Certificate Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D, ABS-EE or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will promptly notify the Depositor. In the case of Forms 10-D, ABS-EE and 10-K, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee will thereupon cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A, Form ABS-EE/A or Form 10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Certificate Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed for the Trust. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will notify the Depositor, and such other parties as needed and the parties hereto will cooperate with the Certificate Administrator to prepare any

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 11.03 related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K is contingent upon the parties observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under Sections 11.03, 11.04, 11.05, 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09, 11.10, 11.11 and 11.15 of this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, arrange for execution and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(a)  Within fifteen (15) days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the Certificate Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act.

(g)There is no “significant obligor” (within the meaning (g) of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) related to the Trust.

-467- 

Mortgagor, beginning with the first calendar quarter following receipt of such notice from the Other Depositor, or the updated financial statements of such “significant obligor” for any calendar year, beginning for the calendar year following such notice from the Other Depositor, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Other Depositor, on or prior to the day that occurs two (2) Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or seven (7) Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, (A) if such financial statement receipt occurs twelve (12) or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or seventeen (17) or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, the financial statements of such “significant obligor”, together with the net operating income of such “significant obligor” for the applicable period as calculated by the Master Servicer in accordance with CREFC® guidelines and (B) if such financial statement receipt occurs less than twelve (12) Business Day prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or less than seventeen (17) Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, such financial statements of the “significant obligor”, together with the net operating income of such “significant obligor” for the applicable period as reported by the related Mortgagor in such financial statements.

If the Master Servicer does not receive such financial information satisfactory to comply with Item 6 of Form 10-D or Item 1112(b)(1) of Form 10-K, as the case may be, of such “significant obligor” within ten (10) Business Days after the date such financial information is required to be delivered under the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall notify the Other Depositor with respect to such Other Securitization that includes the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (and shall cause each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after receipt of written notice from the Other Depositor that such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is a significant obligor to require the related Sub-Servicer to notify such Other Depositor) that it has not received such financial information. The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (taking into account, in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of such Other Depositor under the Exchange Act) to obtain the periodic financial statements required to be delivered by the related Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

The Master Servicer shall (and shall cause each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after receipt of written notice from the Other Depositor that such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is a significant obligor to require the related Sub-Servicer to) retain written evidence of each instance in which it (or a Sub-Servicer) attempts to contact the related Mortgagor related to any such “significant obligor” (identified to it as such by the Other Depositor in accordance with the second preceding paragraph) to obtain the required financial information and is unsuccessful and, within five (5) Business Days prior to the date in which a Form 10-D or Form 10-K, as applicable, is required to be filed with respect to the Other Securitization, shall forward an Officer’s Certificate evidencing its attempts to obtain this information to the Other Exchange Act Reporting Party and Other Depositor related to such Other Securitization. This Officer’s Certificate should be addressed to the certificate

-468- 

administrator at its corporate trust office, as specified in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer shall be responsible for collecting the financial statements and calculating net operating income with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as provided in Section 3.01(a) and Section 3.12(b).

(h)If any Other Securitization includes a Serviced Companion Loan and is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, then the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in this ARTICLE XI with respect such Other Securitization shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that the Trust may cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

Section 11.17Impact of Cure Period. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition thereof prior to the expiration of the grace period applicable to such party’s obligations under this ARTICLE XI as provided for in such clause (iii) nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, during any grace period provided for in this ARTICLE XI; provided that if any such party fails to comply with the delivery requirements of this ARTICLE XI by the expiration of any applicable grace period such failure shall constitute a Servicer Termination Event. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition thereof prior to the expiration of the grace period applicable to such party’s obligations under this ARTICLE XI as provided for in such clause (iii) nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, for failing to deliver any item required under this ARTICLE XI by the time required hereunder with respect to any reporting period for which the Trust (or any trust in a related Other Securitization) is not required to file Exchange Act reports.

Section 12.01Asset Review.

(a)On or prior to each Distribution Date, based either on the CREFC^® Delinquent Loan Status Report and/or the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File delivered by the Master Servicer for such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide notice to all Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners pursuant to this ARTICLE XII shall be

-469- 

delivered by the Certificate Administrator by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, by mailing such notice to the Certificateholders’ addresses appearing in the Certificate Register in the case of Definitive Certificates and by delivering such notice via the Depository in the case of Book-Entry Certificates and by mailing such notice to the VRR Interest Owners’ address (appearing, in the case of a VRR Interest Owner other than a Sponsor or its Majority Owned Affiliate, in the Certificate Administrator’s registry of ownership for the VRR Interest). The Certificate Administrator shall include in the Distribution Report in the Form 10-D relating to the reporting period in which the Asset Review Trigger occurred the following statement describing the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur: “As of the [Date of Distribution], the following Mortgage Loans identified below are 60 or more days delinquent and an Asset Review Trigger as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has occurred.”. On each Distribution Date occurring after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners, the Certificate Administrator, based on information provided to it by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall determine whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) whether an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver such information in a written notice (which may be via email) in the form of Exhibit SS within two (2) Business Days to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer.

If holders of ABS Interests evidencing not less than 5.0% of the Voting Rights evidencing deliver to the Certificate Administrator, within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence an Asset Review (an “Asset Review Vote Election”), then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners and the Asset Representations Reviewer and conduct a solicitation of votes in accordance with Section 5.10 to authorize an Asset Review. Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review by holders of ABS Interests evidencing (i) a majority of those holders who cast votes and (ii) a majority of a minimum Asset Review Quorum within 150 days of the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners (the “Asset Review Notice”). Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request access to the Secure Data Room by providing the Certificate Administrator with a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit RR (which shall be sent via email to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s Website). Upon receipt of such certification, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (and in any case within two (2) Business Days after such receipt) grant the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Secure Data Room. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner may

-470- 

request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) a new Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or an Asset Review Trigger is otherwise in effect, (C) the Certificate Administrator has timely received any Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) in this sentence and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within 150 days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) in this sentence. After the occurrence of any Asset Review Vote Election or an Affirmative Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, that if the related Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or fails to pay such amount within 90 days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer, such amount shall be paid by the Trust following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Enforcing Servicer of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount; provided, further, that notwithstanding any payment of such amount by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such amount shall remain an obligation of the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and the Enforcing Servicer shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether it is in the best interest of Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners to pursue and, if it so determines, pursue remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with the Servicing Standard in order to seek recovery of such amounts from such Mortgage Loan Seller. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to administer any vote in connection with the foregoing through an agent.

(b)(i) Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Custodian (with respect to clauses (1) - (5) below for all Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to clause (6) below for all non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to clause (6) for Specially Serviced Loans), in each case to the extent in such party’s possession, shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days (except with respect to clause (6)) after receipt of such notice from the Certificate Administrator, provide the following materials to the extent in their possession to the Asset Representations Reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files, a copy of the Prospectus, a copy of each related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and a copy of this Agreement, the “Review Materials”):

(1)       a copy of an assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, for each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(2)       a copy of an assignment of any related assignment of leases (if such item is a document separate from the Mortgage) in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

-471- 

(3)       a copy of the assignment of all unrecorded documents relating to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, if not already covered pursuant to items (1) or (2) above;

(4)       a copy of all filed copies (bearing evidence of filing) or evidence of filing of any UCC financing statements related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(5)       a copy of an assignment in favor of the Trustee of any financing statement executed and filed in the relevant jurisdiction related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review; and

(6)       any other related documents that are reasonably requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be delivered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in the time frames and as otherwise described pursuant to clause (ii) hereof.

(ii)If the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan that was entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan that is necessary in connection with its completion of any Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Review Materials identified in clauses (1) - (5) above, notify the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing documents, and request that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer, deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer such missing documents to the extent in its possession; provided, that any such notification and/or request shall be in writing, specifically identifying the documents being requested and sent to the notice address for the related party set forth in Section 13.05 of this Agreement. In the event any missing documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver such additional documents only to the extent in the possession of such Mortgage Loan Seller but in any event excluding any documents that contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or Mortgage Loan Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications (and, if such documents are not in its possession, solely with respect to any Mortgage Loan sold by such Mortgage Loan Seller that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to make a request under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA for any such documents that are not in its possession). In the event any missing documents with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are not provided by the Mortgage Loan Seller,

-472- 

the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the parties to the related Non-Serviced PSA, to the extent that the Asset Representations Reviewer is entitled to request such documents under such Non-Serviced PSA.

(iii)The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider and rely upon information furnished to it by a Person that is not a party to this Agreement or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, and shall do so only if such information can be independently verified (without unreasonable effort or expense to the Asset Representations Reviewer) and is determined by the Asset Representations Reviewer in its good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review conducted pursuant to this Section 12.01 (any such information, “Unsolicited Information”).

(iv)Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence File posted to the Secure Data Room with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit QQ (each such procedure, a “Test”). Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review shall be required in respect of, or performed on, such Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or again become a Delinquent Loan at a time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such new Asset Review Trigger.

(v)No Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner shall have the right to change the scope of the Asset Review, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to review any information other than (1) the Review Materials and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information.

(vi)The Asset Representations Reviewer may, absent manifest error and subject to the Asset Review Standard, (i) assume, without independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects and (ii) conclusively rely on such Review Materials.

(vii)The Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare a preliminary report with respect to each Delinquent Loan within forty-five (45) Business Days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing documentation is not delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer (with

-473- 

respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) within ten (10) Business Days following the request by the Asset Representations Reviewer, as described in Section 12.01(b)(ii), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall list such missing documents in such preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide such preliminary report to the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) and to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. If the preliminary report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have ninety (90) days (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. Any documents provided or explanations given to support a Test pass conclusion or that any missing documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test shall be promptly delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer. For avoidance of doubt, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to prepare a preliminary report in the event the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that there is no Test failure with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.

(viii)The Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within the later of (x) sixty (60) days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator or (y) within the ten (10) days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period, complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report setting forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review and a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”) to each party to this Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan Seller for each Delinquent Loan and the Directing Certificateholder and (ii) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional thirty (30) days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loan and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan

-474- 

Seller, which, in each case, shall be the responsibility of the Enforcing Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(f) of this Agreement.

(ix)In addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any documentation that it requested from the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans), the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) or the related Mortgage Loan Seller in sufficient time to allow the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete its Asset Review and deliver an Asset Review Report, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the documentation received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no responsibility to independently obtain any such documentation from any party to this Agreement or otherwise.

(x)Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Enforcing Servicer shall determine based on the Servicing Standard whether there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Enforcing Servicer determines that a Material Defect exists, it shall enforce the obligations of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Material Defect in accordance with Section 2.03(b).

(c)The Asset Representations Reviewer and its affiliates shall keep confidential any “Privileged Information” received from any party to this Agreement or any Sponsor (including, without limitation, in connection with the review of the Mortgage Loans) and not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders or VRR Interest Owners), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement in an Asset Review Report or otherwise, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Asset Representations Reviewer with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.

In addition, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall keep all documents and information received by the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with an Asset Review that are provided by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer confidential and shall not disclose such documents or information except (i) for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) if such documents or information become generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the Asset Representations Reviewer, (iii) if it is reasonable and necessary for the Asset Representations Reviewer to disclose such documents or information in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (iv) if any such document or information was already known to the Asset Representations Reviewer and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation and/or (v) if

-475- 

the Asset Representations Reviewer is required by law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to disclose such document or information.

(d)The Asset Representations Reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 12.01; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with any Mortgage Loan Seller, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Asset Representations Reviewer alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Asset Representations Reviewer by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Section 12.02Payment of Asset Representations Reviewer Fees and Expenses; Limitation of Liability.

(a)The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee of $5,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Upfront Fee”) on the Closing Date. As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), payable monthly from amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans and shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.00071% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) on the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but not any Companion Loan) and shall be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans.

(b)As compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder, with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger and the Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent Loans and are subject to an Asset Review (for purposes of this definition, “Subject Loans”), upon the completion of any Asset Review with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee equal to the sum of: (i) $15,000 multiplied by the number of Subject Loans, plus (ii) $1,500 per Mortgaged Property relating to the Subject Loans in excess of one Mortgaged Property per Subject Loan, plus (iii) $2,000 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Subject Loan subject to a ground lease, plus (iv) $1,000 per Mortgaged Property

The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, that if the related Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or fails to pay such amount within ninety (90) days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee shall be paid by the Trust Fund following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Enforcing Servicer of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount; provided, that a statement of non-payment by the Asset Representations Reviewer ninety (90) days after an itemized invoice is delivered by registered mail to the address listed in this Agreement for the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or to such other address as shall be provided by such Mortgage Loan Seller for delivery of notice in accordance with this Agreement, together with evidence of delivery or attempted delivery of such invoice and reasonable follow up by phone or email, shall constitute satisfactory evidence delivered by the Asset Representations Reviewer of such failure to pay such amount; and provided, further, that notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee will remain an obligation of the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and the Enforcing Servicer shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether it is in the best interest of Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners to pursue and, if it so determines, pursue remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with the Servicing Standard in order to seek recovery of such amounts from such Mortgage Loan Seller.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan shall be included in the Purchase Price or Loss of Value Payment for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review that is repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price or Loss of Value Payment received shall be used to reimburse the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust, as the case may be, for such fees pursuant to Section 12.02(b).

(d)The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement.

Section 12.03Resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer.  The Asset Representations Reviewer may resign and be discharged from its obligations hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement and each Rating Agency. Upon such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. If no successor asset representations reviewer shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Asset Representations

-477- 

Reviewer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will bear all reasonable costs and expenses of each party hereto and each Rating Agency in connection with its resignation.

(iv)a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Asset Representations Reviewer, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days;

(v)the Asset Representations Reviewer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Asset Representations Reviewer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(vi)the Asset Representations Reviewer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of written notice of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners (which shall be simultaneously delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer) in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section 12.01(a), unless the Certificate Administrator has received written notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has been remedied. If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may terminate or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of ABS Interests representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts), shall terminate, all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer is required to bear all reasonable costs and expenses of itself and of each other party to this Agreement in connection with its termination due to an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor and each Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event of which it becomes aware.

-479- 

(b)Upon (i) the written direction of holders of ABS Interests evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Asset Representations Reviewer with a proposed successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners by (i) posting such notice on its internet website, and (ii) mailing such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to all VRR Interest Owners at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Administrator’s registry of ownership for the VRR Interest and to the Asset Representations Reviewer. Upon the written direction of holders of ABS Interests evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights that constitute a minimum Quorum (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination) by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer and appoint the proposed successor. As between the Asset Representations Reviewer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the holders of ABS Interests shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer. In the event that holders of the ABS Interests entitled to at least 75% of a minimum Quorum (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts) elect to remove the Asset Representations Reviewer without cause and appoint a successor, the successor asset representations reviewer will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

(c)On or after the receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of written notice of termination, subject to this Section 12.05, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Asset Representations Reviewer shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after (1) the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns pursuant to Section 12.03 of this Agreement or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of an Asset Representations Reviewer to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and each Certificateholder within one Business Day of such appointment.

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall at all times be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and if the Asset Representations Reviewer ceases to be an Eligible

-480- 

Asset Representations Reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall immediately notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Holder of such disqualification and immediately resign under Section 12.03 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor asset representations reviewer subject to and in accordance with this Section 12.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor asset representations reviewer within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor shall be permitted, but not obligated to, to find a replacement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to identify and appoint a successor asset representations reviewer so long as the Trustee uses commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a search for a successor asset representations reviewer and such failure is not a result of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(d)Upon any termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer and appointment of a successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall give written notice thereof, as soon as possible, to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders and VRR Interest Owners), the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Depositor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one (21) years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P.

MORGAN STANLEY CAPITAL I INC.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [____________________] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class R Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class R Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2017-C33, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C33 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.

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

This Class R Certificate represents a “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by

 A-3-5

acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income. By acceptance of this Certificate, (i) the Holder of this Class R Certificate hereby agrees to the irrevocable designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “representative” of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code, to the extent such provision is applicable to the Trust REMICs and (ii) if the Holder of this Class R Certificate is the Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, it hereby agrees to the irrevocable appointment of the Certificate Administrator as its agent to perform all of the duties of the “tax matters person” for the Trust REMICs.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, distributions, if any, on this Certificate shall be made by the Certificate Administrator in an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) and to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the subject Distribution Date to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 A-3-6

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice of final payment has been given shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate, subject to applicable law with respect to escheatment of funds. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (A) no Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof (including a nominee, middleman or similar person) (an “Agent”), a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan (such Plan or Person, an “ERISA Prohibited Holder”) or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change to such status; (B) in connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Class R Certificate shall be registered until the Certificate Registrar receives, an affidavit substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is not a Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person, and that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and agrees to be bound by them; (C) notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee

 A-3-7

Affidavit by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is a Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected; and (D) each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transferee Affidavit from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate and (2) not to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a letter substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-2 (a “Transferor Letter”) certifying that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed Transferee’s statements in such Transferee Affidavit are false.

The Class R Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of 5% and integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate.  The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, The Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, that the Holders of the Controlling

 A-3-8

Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or group of Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates) that also owns 100% of the VRR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right, by giving written notice to all parties thereto the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the VRR Interest together with the payment of the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one (21) years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [FOR BOOK-ENTRY CERTIFICATES AND SOLELY FOLLOWING THE VRR INTEREST TRANSFER RESTRICTION PERIOD: CEDE & CO.] [FOR DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES: [MORGAN STANLEY BANK, N.A.][BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION][KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the VRR Interest issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between MORGAN STANLEY CAPITAL I INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the VRR Interest. The Certificates are designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2017-C33, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C33 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.

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

 A-4-5

This Certificate represents (i) a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) an undivided beneficial interest in a portion of the Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person who is previously identified to the Certificate Administrator as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest (including Excess Interest) then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Pass-Through Rate on the VRR Interest Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Aggregate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

VRR Interest Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All VRR Interest Realized Losses allocated to the VRR Interest will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans and Excess Interest actually collected on the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain

 A-4-6

expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses or VRR Interest Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of (i) a certificate from the prospective Transferee in the form set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, countersigned by the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (ii) a certificate from the prospective Transferor in the form set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The VRR Interest will be issued in fully registered, certificated form in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $0.01 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial VRR Interest Balance of such Class.

 A-4-7

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate.  The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

The Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or group of Holders acting in

 A-4-8

unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates) that also owns 100% of the VRR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right, by giving written notice to all parties thereto the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the VRR Interest together with the payment of the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the VRR Interest Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF.  THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS CERTIFICATE AND TO THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT.

Re: Transfer of Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2017-C33, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C33

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), and executed in connection with the above-referenced transaction, on behalf of the holders of Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2017-C33, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C33 (the “Certificates”) in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of $_______________ aggregate Certificate Balance of Class ___ Certificates (the “Certificate”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

In connection with such transfer, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to you and the addressees hereof as follows:

1.          Check one of the following:^*

☐ The Purchaser is not purchasing a Class R Certificate and the Purchaser is an institution that is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any entity in which all of the equity owners are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of

* Purchaser must include one of the following two certifications.

Exhibit C-1

Regulation D (each, an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of the Purchaser’s or such account’s investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates purchased by it for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor, as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

☐ The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is aware that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the information required to be provided pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.

2.          The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Certificate (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for reoffer, resale, pledge or other transfer (i) to QIBs in transactions under Rule 144A, and not in any event with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, or (ii) (other than with respect to a Class R Certificate) to Institutional Accredited Investors. The Purchaser understands that the Certificate (and any subsequent Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to reoffer, resell, pledge or transfer the Certificate only to certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.

3.          The Purchaser has reviewed the Prospectus (and, with respect to Non-Registered Certificates, the Private Placement Memorandum) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Prospectus.

4.          The Purchaser acknowledges that the Certificate (and any Certificate issued on transfer or exchange thereof) has not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or any other jurisdiction, and that the Certificate cannot be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless it is registered or qualified thereunder or unless an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.

5.          The Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as an owner of a Certificate or Certificates, as the case may be (each, a “Certificateholder”), in all respects as if it were a signatory thereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.

Exhibit C-2

6.          The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Certificate or Certificates, except in compliance with Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

☐ The Purchaser is a U.S. Tax Person (as defined below) and it has attached hereto an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or successor form).

☐ The Purchaser is not a U.S. Tax Person and under applicable law in effect on the date hereof, no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Certificate Registrar (or its agent) with respect to distributions to be made on the Certificate. The Purchaser has attached hereto [(i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form, as applicable), which identifies such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate and states that such Purchaser is not a U.S. Tax Person, (ii) IRS Form W-8IMY (with all appropriate attachments) or (iii)]^*** two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate and state that interest and original issue discount on the Certificate and Permitted Investments is, or is expected to be, effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Certificate Registrar updated [IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY or]*** IRS Form W-8ECI, [as the case may be,]*** any applicable successor IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably request, on or before the date that any such IRS form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished by it to the Certificate Registrar.

For purposes of this paragraph 7, “U.S. Tax Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership (except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations) or other entity created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, including any entity treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes, an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such U.S. Tax Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust (or, to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 that have elected to be treated as U.S. Tax Persons).

** Each Purchaser must include one of the two alternative certifications.

*** Does not apply to a transfer of Class R Certificates.

Re: Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2017-C33, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C33 (the “Certificates”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), relating to Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2017-C33, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C33

STATE OF	)
	)                        ss.:
COUNTY OF	)

I, [______], under penalties of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete, and being first sworn, depose and say that:

1.          I am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

2.          The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) designated as the (i) “Lower-Tier REMIC” and (ii) “Upper-Tier REMIC”, respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

3.          The Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: of (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except

Exhibit D-1-1

for Freddie Mac, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, any international organization or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization which is exempt from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) an “electing large partnership,” as defined in Section 775 of the Code and (vi) any other Person so designated by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator based upon an Opinion of Counsel as provided to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (at no expense to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator) that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or any Person having an Ownership Interest in any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such Person. The terms “United States,” “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.

4.          The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.

5.          The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee and, to the extent applicable, the Purchaser’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is [__________].

6.          No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

7.          The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other person.

8.          Check the applicable paragraph:

☐         The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

(i)         the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;

(ii)        the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and

(iii)       the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.

Exhibit D-1-2

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.

☐         The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

(i)         the Purchaser is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

(ii)        at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

(iii)       the Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and

(iv)       the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.

☐         None of the above.

9.          The Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Class R Certificates as they become due.

10.        The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.

11.        The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer to any person that does not provide such affidavit or agreement, if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is false or if it has actual knowledge that such person is not a Permitted Transferee or

Exhibit D-1-3

is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

12.        The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.

13.        The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.

14.        The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.

15.        The Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the agent of the “tax matters person” and “partnership representative” of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Re: Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2017-C33, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C33 (the “Certificates”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”). The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and executed in connection with the above-referenced transaction. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:

(1)         No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

(2)         The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1. The Transferor has no actual knowledge that the Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the Transferee’s statements in the Transferee Affidavit are false.

(3)         The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in

Exhibit D-2-1

the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

Very truly yours,

(1) Debt Service Coverage Ratios are updated periodically as new NOI figures become available from borrowers on an asset level. In all cases the most current DSCR provided by the Servicer is used. To the extent that no DSCR is provided by the Servicer, information from the offering document is used. The Trustee makes no representations as to the accuracy of the data provided by the borrower for this calculation.

(2) Anticipated Remaining Term and WAM are each calculated based upon the term from the current month to the earlier of the Anticipated Repayment Date, if applicable, and the Maturity Date.

(3) Data in this table was calculated by allocating pro-rata the current loan information to the properties based upon the Cut-Off Date balance of each property as disclosed in the offering document.

The Scheduled Balance Totals reflect the aggregate balances of all pooled loans as reported in the CREFC Loan Periodic Update File. To the extent that the Scheduled Balance Total figure for the “State” and “ Property “ stratification tables is not equal to the sum of the scheduled balance figures for each state or property, the difference is explained by loans that have been modified into a split loan structure. The “State” and “Property” stratification tables do not include the balance of the subordinate note (sometimes called the B-piece or a “hope note”) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure. Rather, the scheduled balance for each state or property only reflects the balance of the senior note (sometimes called the A-piece) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure.

Note: There are no Hyper-Amortization Loans included in the Mortgage Pool.

Information provided by each Furnishing Entity is labeled as provided by the specific Furnishing Entity.

Definition of Confidential Information. For purposes of this Confidentiality Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall include the following information (irrespective of its source or form of communication, including information obtained by you through access to this site) that may be furnished to you by or on behalf of a Furnishing Entity in connection with the issuance or monitoring of a rating with respect to the Certificates: (x) all data, reports, interpretations, forecasts, records, agreements, legal documents and other information (such information, the “Evaluation Material”) and (y) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the status thereof; provided, however, that the term Confidential Information shall not include information which:

was or becomes generally available to the public (including through filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or disclosure in an offering document) other than as a result of a disclosure by you or a NRSRO Representative (as defined in Section 2(c)(i) below) in violation of this Confidentiality Agreement;

was or is lawfully obtained by you from a source other than a Furnishing Entity or its representatives that (i) is reasonably believed by you to be under no obligation to maintain the information as confidential and (ii) provides it to you without any obligation to maintain the information as confidential; or

is independently developed by the NRSRO without reference to any Confidential Information.

Information to Be Held in Confidence.

You will use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of determining or monitoring a credit rating on the Certificates and, to the extent that any information used is derived from but does not reveal any Confidential Information, for benchmarking, modeling or research purposes (the “Intended Purpose”).

You acknowledge that you are aware that the United States and state securities laws impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of material, non-public information and that the NRSRO will advise (through policy manuals or otherwise) each NRSRO Representative who is informed of the matters that are the subject of this Confidentiality Agreement to that effect.

You will treat the Confidential Information as private and confidential. Subject to Section 4, without the prior written consent of the applicable Furnishing Entity, you will not disclose to any person any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information was furnished to you before, on or after the date of this Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may:

Exhibit P-2-2

- disclose the Confidential Information to any of the NRSRO’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, legal representatives, agents and advisors (each, a “NRSRO Representative”) who, in the reasonable judgment of the NRSRO, need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the Intended Purpose; provided, that, prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information to a NRSRO Representative, the NRSRO shall have taken reasonable precautions to ensure, and shall be satisfied, that such NRSRO Representative will act in accordance with this Confidentiality Agreement;

- solely to the extent required for compliance with Rule 17g-5(a)(3) of the Act (17 C.F.R. 240.17g-5),post the Confidential Information to the NRSRO’s password protected website; and

- use information derived from the Confidential Information in connection with an Intended Purpose, if such derived information does not reveal any Confidential Information.

Disclosures Required by Law. If you or any NRSRO Representative is requested or required (orally or in writing, by interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigatory demand, request for information or documents, deposition or similar process relating to any legal proceeding, investigation, hearing or otherwise) to disclose any Confidential Information, you agree to provide the relevant Furnishing Entity with notice as soon as practicable (except in the case of regulatory or other governmental inquiry, examination or investigation, and otherwise to the extent practical and permitted by law, regulation or regulatory or other governmental authority) that a request to disclose the Confidential Information has been made so that the relevant Furnishing Entity may seek an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information if it so chooses. Unless otherwise required by a court or other governmental or regulatory authority to do so, and provided that you been informed by written notice that the related Furnishing Entity is seeking a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment with respect to the requested Confidential Information, you agree not to disclose the Confidential Information while the Furnishing Entity’s effort to obtain such a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment is pending. You agree to reasonably cooperate with each Furnishing Entity in its efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the portion of the Confidential Information that is being disclosed, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity; provided, however, that in no event shall the NRSRO be required to take a position that such information should be entitled to receive such a protective order or reasonable assurance as to confidential treatment. If a Furnishing Entity succeeds in obtaining a protective order or other remedy, you agree to comply with its terms with respect to the disclosure of the Confidential Information, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained or if the relevant Furnishing Entity waives compliance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement in writing, you agree to furnish only such information as you are legally required to disclose, at the sole expense of the relevant Furnishing Entity.

Obligation to Return Evaluation Material. Promptly upon written request by or on behalf of the relevant Furnishing Entity, all material or documents, including copies thereof, that contain Evaluation Material will be destroyed or, in your sole discretion, returned to the relevant Furnishing Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the NRSRO may retain one or more copies of any document or other material containing Evaluation Material to the extent necessary for legal or regulatory compliance (or compliance with the NRSRO’s internal policies and procedures designed to ensure legal or regulatory compliance) and (b) the NRSRO may retain any portion of the Evaluation Material that may be found in backup tapes or other archive or electronic media or other documents prepared by the NRSRO and any Evaluation Material obtained in an oral communication; provided, that any Evaluation Material so retained by the NRSRO will remain subject to this Confidentiality Agreement and the NRSRO will remain bound by the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement.

Exhibit P-2-3

Violations of this Confidentiality Agreement.

The NRSRO will be responsible for any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by you, the NRSRO or any NRSRO Representative.

You agree promptly to advise each relevant Furnishing Entity in writing of any misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure or use by any person of the Confidential Information which may come to your attention and to take all steps reasonably requested by such Furnishing Entity to limit, stop or otherwise remedy such misappropriation, or unauthorized disclosure or use.

You acknowledge and agree that the Furnishing Entities would not have an adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed in the event that any of the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Furnishing Entity shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Confidentiality Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which a Furnishing Entity may be entitled at law or in equity. It is further understood and agreed that no failure to or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.

Term. Notwithstanding the termination or cancellation of this Confidentiality Agreement and regardless of whether the NRSRO has provided a credit rating on a Security, your obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement will survive indefinitely.

Governing Law. This Confidentiality Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under the Confidentiality Agreement, the relationships of the parties and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within such State.

Amendments. This Confidentiality Agreement may be modified or waived only by a separate writing by the NRSRO and each Furnishing Entity.

Entire Agreement. This Confidentiality Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and the Furnishing Entities relating to the treatment of Confidential Information heretofore or hereafter reviewed or inspected by you. This agreement supersedes all other understandings and agreements between us relating to such matters; provided, however, that, if the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement conflict with another agreement relating to the Confidential Information that specifically states that the terms of such agreement shall supersede, modify or amend the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement, then to the extent the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement conflict with such agreement, the terms of such agreement shall control notwithstanding acceptance by you of the terms hereof by entry into this website.

             ____________________

Exhibit U-1

Reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described above. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, we hereby:

(a)       Notify you that the Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, of the type checked below:

____ a full defeasance of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; or

____ a partial defeasance of a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan that represents and, an allocated loan amount of $____________ or _______% of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan;

(b)       Certify that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions set forth with explanatory notes on Exhibit A hereto, which exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standards, will have no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:

(i)        The Mortgage Loan documents permit the defeasance, and the terms and conditions for defeasance specified therein were satisfied in all material respects in completing the defeasance.

(ii)       The defeasance was consummated on __________, 20__.

(iii)      The defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) constitute “government securities” as defined in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (15 U.S.C. 80A1), (ii) are listed as “Qualified Investments for ‘AAA’ Financings” under Paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of “Cash Flow Approach” in Standard & Poor’s Public Finance Criteria 2000, as amended to the date of the defeasance, (iii) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity cannot vary or change, and (iv) are not subject to prepayment, call or early redemption.

(iv)      The Master Servicer received an opinion of counsel (from counsel approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

(v)       The Master Servicer determined that the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) that is a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in Standard & Poor’s Structured Finance Ratings Real Estate Finance Criteria, as amended to the date of the defeasance (the “S&P Criteria”)) or is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organization documents of the original Borrower with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose as of the date of the defeasance, and after the defeasance owns no assets other than the defeasance collateral and real property securing Mortgage Loans included in the pool.

Exhibit U-2

(vi)      The defeasance documents require the crediting of the defeasance collateral to an Eligible Account (as defined in the S&P Criteria) in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, which account is maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary and has been pledged to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.

(vii)     The agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) grant control of the pledged securities account to Trustee on behalf of the Trust, (ii) require the securities intermediary to make the scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loan from the proceeds of the defeasance collateral directly to the Master Servicer’s collection account in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Mortgage Loan documents or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased, increased by any defeasance premium specified in the Mortgage Loan documents (the “Scheduled Payments”), (iii) permit reinvestment of proceeds of the defeasance collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the documents evidencing the defeasance), (iv) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment from the pledged securities account only after the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, if any such release is permitted, (v) prohibit transfers by the Defeasance Obligor of the defeasance collateral and subordinate liens against the defeasance collateral, and (vi) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral or other assets of the Defeasance Obligor of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor.

(viii)    The Master Servicer received written confirmation from a firm of independent certified public accountants, who were approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard stating that (i) revenues from the defeasance collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of the Scheduled Payments after the defeasance including the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) the revenues received in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Scheduled Payments within four (4) months after the date of receipt, and (iii) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any calendar or fiscal year will not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial defeasance) for such year.

(ix)       The Mortgage Loan is not among the ten (10) largest loans in the pool as of the date of the Current Report (as defined below). The entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of defeasance was less than both $[______] and five percent of pool balance, which is less than [__]% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates as of the date of the most recent Distribution Date Statement received by us (the “Current Report”).

(x)        The Master Servicer has received opinions of counsel stating that the Trustee on behalf of the Trust possesses a valid, perfected first priority security interest in

Exhibit U-3

the defeasance collateral and that the documents executed in connection with the defeasance are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

(c)       Certify that Exhibit B hereto is a list of the material agreements, instruments, organizational documents for the Defeasance Obligor, and opinions of counsel and independent accountants executed and delivered in connection with the defeasance.

(d)       Certify that the individual under whose hand the Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed did constitute a Servicing Officer as of the date of the defeasance described above.

(e)       Agree to provide copies of all items listed in Exhibit B to you upon request.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed as of the date captioned above.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), and executed in connection with the above-referenced transaction. Defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

[Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”)/Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association (“Midland”)] understands that [____] (the “Company”) is requesting certain confidential or non-public information relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Company has continuing rights as a Certificateholder. The Company is requesting such information for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Company may have under the Trust (the “Permitted Purpose”). The Company agrees that the Permitted Purpose shall not include the use or disclosure of the Confidential Information (as defined below) in any manner that violates any applicable law, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related mortgage loan documents.

[Wells Fargo/Midland] will provide the Company with certain confidential, non-public servicing information (the “Confidential Information”) pertaining to the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties and borrowers. The Company acknowledges that the Confidential Information (a) includes or may be based upon information provided to [Wells Fargo/Midland] by third parties, (b) may not have been verified by [Wells Fargo/Midland], and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. The Company agrees that [Wells Fargo/Midland], the

Exhibit X-1

[_____] [__], 20[__]

Page 2

[“Master Servicer”/”Special Servicer”] (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and its respective Representatives (as defined below) shall not have any liability to the Company or its Representatives resulting from (x) any inaccuracies or omissions in the Confidential Information, (y) any use of the Confidential Information, or (z) [Wells Fargo/Midland]’s failure or inability to provide the Confidential Information to the Company for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not constitute “Confidential Information” for purposes of this letter agreement: (a) information that was already in Company’s possession prior to its receipt from [Wells Fargo/Midland]; (b) information that is obtained by Company from a third person who, insofar as is known to Company, is not prohibited from transmitting the information to Company by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to [Wells Fargo/Midland]; (c) information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Company; and (d) information that is independently developed by Company. The term “Representatives” with respect to any entity shall mean the officers, directors, general partners, employees, agents, affiliates, auditors and legal counsel (which may be internal counsel) of that entity.

The Company may have access to the Confidential Information through (at [Wells Fargo/Midland]’s election): (i) responses to reasonable written inquiries received from the Company, (ii) conference calls conducted on a reasonably scheduled basis with [Wells Fargo/Midland]’s surveillance group, or (iii) direct on-line access (read-only capacity) to the information available on the applicable [____] system or any successor or replacement system (“System”). [Wells Fargo/Midland] may cease or defer providing the Company with Confidential Information in the event that (a) the Company or its Representatives violate any provision hereof, or (b) [Wells Fargo/Midland] determines (in its sole discretion) that such termination is necessary for any reason, including its determination that such action is required pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan documents, or any applicable law. [Wells Fargo/Midland] shall cease to provide the Company with Confidential Information if [Wells Fargo/Midland] has actual knowledge that the Company or its Representatives are affiliates of any borrower under the Mortgage Loan documents and [Wells Fargo/Midland] determines that the provision, notice or access to such Confidential Information would violate the accepted servicing practices or servicing standards as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Company’s obligations and the restrictions applicable to the protection of the Confidential Information hereunder shall survive the termination of the Company’s access to the Confidential Information. [Wells Fargo/Midland]’s remedies hereunder, at law or at equity, are cumulative and may be combined.

The Company agrees that it will not, and it shall not permit its Representatives, to disclose the Confidential Information in any manner whatsoever to any other person or entity, other than its Representatives (but only to the extent necessary to accomplish the Permitted Purpose) who have a need to know the information, or as otherwise required by applicable law, court order or any governmental agency or regulator. The Company acknowledges (i) its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, and (ii) that any disclosure of the Confidential Information by it or its Representatives for any purpose other than a Permitted Purpose, in addition to being a breach of this letter agreement, may constitute a violation of federal and state securities laws. The Company will take reasonable measures to ensure that each Representative is advised of this letter agreement and agrees to keep the Confidential Information confidential. The Company shall be liable for any breach of this letter agreement by its Representatives. Notwithstanding the

Exhibit X-2

[_____] [__], 20[__]

Page 3

foregoing, the Company may subsequently provide all or any part of such Confidential Information to any other person or entity that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Certificate or interest therein, but only if such person or entity confirms such ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and provided that, prior to the delivery of such Confidential Information, such persons shall have executed and delivered to the Company an agreement that is substantially similar in form and substance to this agreement.

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without the application of conflict of laws principles. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, [Wells Fargo/Midland] intends at all times to comply with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and nothing in this letter agreement should be construed to limit or qualify any of [Wells Fargo/Midland]’s rights or obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile/Portable Document Format (PDF); each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one agreement.

This agreement shall terminate with respect to the information received by the Company one year after the Company receives such information or ceases to be a Certificateholder. Company agrees that this letter agreement supersedes and replaces and survives any click-through agreement regarding confidentiality of Confidential Information agreed to in connection with accessing the System whether agreed to in accessing the System before or after signing this letter agreement.

ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES

Subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Exhibit sets forth Asset Representations Reviewer’s review procedures for each Delinquent Loan based on the information provided for an Asset Review. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Exhibit QQ and the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall control and govern the Asset Representations Reviewer’s responsibilities and duties with respect to Asset Reviews.

Call for Review and Collection and Inventory of Review Materials

Step 1 Asset Representations Reviewer (“ARR”) receives the following items before beginning its review from the parties specified in Section 12.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement:

■ Notice of Asset Review Trigger (with attachments)

■ Asset Review Vote Election

■ Notice of Affirmative Asset Review Vote

■ List of all Delinquent Loans subject to the Asset Review

■ Review Materials for each Delinquent Loan via Secure Data Room access, including the Diligence File

■ Any Unsolicited Information (if applicable)

Step 2 For each Delinquent Loan, ARR inventories all Review Materials to which ARR is provided access in the Secure Data Room to determine what, if any, Review Materials for such Delinquent Loan are missing, using the list of documents in the definition of the Mortgage File in this Agreement, any comparable lists included in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and any closing checklist from the origination of such Delinquent Loan, to guide its review and determination

Step 3 If ARR determines that the information made available to it in the Secure Data Room with respect to any Delinquent Loan is missing any documents required to complete an Asset Review of such Delinquent Loan, ARR shall prepare a list of such missing documents and notify Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) of such missing documents. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, does not provide such document as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the ARR shall notify the related Mortgage Loan Seller of such missing information

Exhibit QQ-1 

Analysis and Testing of Representations and Warranties

Step 4 For each Delinquent Loan for which ARR has received all Review Materials required to complete an Asset Review of such Delinquent Loan, ARR tests such Delinquent Loan for compliance with each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan as follows:

■ ARR reviews each representation and warranty and each item included in the Review Materials applicable or related to such representation or warranty to determine whether there is any evidence that such representation or warranty was not true when made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller

■ For each representation and warranty, ARR lists

● all items from the Review Materials reviewed or used in its testing of such representation and warranty

● whether ARR has determined that there is any evidence that such representation or warranty was not true when made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and

○ if so, stating the aspect of the applicable representation or warranty that does not appear to have been true when made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and ARR’s basis for its conclusion

○ completing the Asset Review Report by setting forth, for each Delinquent Loan, the information contemplated herein with respect to each representation and warranty

ARR will not attempt (and has no obligation) to determine the materiality of any potential breach of a representation or warranty that it discovers evidence of during its review as contemplated herein.

Re: Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2017-C33, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C33 (the “Certificates”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________ (the “Transferee”) of the Excess Servicing Fee Right established under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), and executed in connection with the above-referenced transaction. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as the Depositor and the Master Servicer, that:

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

2.          The Transferee understands that (a) the Excess Servicing Fee Right has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities laws, (b) none of the Depositor, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar is obligated so to register or qualify the Excess Servicing Fee Right, and (c) the Excess Servicing Fee Right may not be resold or transferred unless it is (i) registered pursuant to the Securities Act and registered or qualified pursuant to any applicable state securities laws or (ii) sold or transferred in transactions which are exempt from such registration and qualification and (A) the Depositor has received a certificate from the prospective transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit TT-1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (B) each of the Master Servicer and the Depositor have received a

 Exhibit TT-2-1

certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit TT-2 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

3.          The Transferee understands that it may not sell or otherwise transfer the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any interest therein except in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which provisions it has carefully reviewed.

4.          Neither the Transferee nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a pledge, disposition or other transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any other action with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) above) would constitute a distribution of the Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act, would render the disposition of the Excess Servicing Fee Right a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities law or would require registration or qualification of the Excess Servicing Fee Right pursuant thereto. The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security.

5.          The Transferee has been furnished with all information regarding (a) the Depositor, (b) the Excess Servicing Fee Right and any payments thereon, (c) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created pursuant thereto, (d) the nature, performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans, and (e) all related matters that it has requested.

6.          The Transferee is (a) a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (b) an “accredited investor” as defined in any of paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or an entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs. The Transferee has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Excess Servicing Fee Right; the Transferee has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision; and the Transferee is able to bear the economic risks of such investment and can afford a complete loss of such investment.

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

 Exhibit TT-2-2

in writing such prospective acquisition and (y) agrees in writing to keep such information confidential, not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificates pursuant to the Securities Act and not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other than such Persons’ auditors, legal counsel and regulators.

8.          The Transferee acknowledges that the holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement except as set forth in Section 3.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and that the Excess Servicing Fee Rate may be reduced to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause an election to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust for federal income tax purposes as two separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, and each a “Trust REMIC” as described herein).

In the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such P&I Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if any Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with a securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan determines that a principal and interest advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, the Master Servicer and the Trustee may rely on the non-recoverability determination of the Other Master Servicer or Other Trustee under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement. Similarly, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that any P&I Advance with respect to a related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such determination shall not be binding on the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and related Non-Serviced Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan (unless the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement provides otherwise); provided, however, the other Master Servicer and Other Trustee under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement may rely on the non-recoverability determination of the Master Servicer or the Trustee. In making such recoverability determination, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the

 -76-

Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses, (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries, and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any outstanding Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans by the Master Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such Loan which, at the time of such consideration, the reimbursement of which is being deferred or delayed, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of reimbursement not only for the P&I Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain, promptly upon request from the Special Servicer at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination. Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner.

The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing

 -77-

Appraisal of the related Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property). The Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable shall be binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a Property Protection Advance is a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts with respect to other Mortgage Loans that, at the time of such consideration, the reimbursement of which is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Property Protection Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain, promptly upon request from the Special Servicer at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination (and, upon the reasonable request by the Trustee, Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver any relevant Appraisals or market value estimates in its possession to the requesting party for such purpose).

If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed Property Protection Advance is a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Property Protection Advance is a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status and property inspections, and shall include any existing Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or related Mortgaged Property). The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Property Protection Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Property Protection Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations.

The Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall determine, with respect to any affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, whether a Document Defect or a Breach is a Material Defect. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may (but will not be obligated to) consult with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer regarding any determination of a Material Defect for a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. If such Document Defect or Breach has been determined to be a Material Defect then the Enforcing Servicer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto and (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) the Directing Holder. Promptly upon becoming aware of any Material Defect (including through a written notice given by any party to this Agreement), the Master Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Performing Loan) or applicable Special Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), as applicable, shall require the Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than 90 days from the earlier of (a) the earlier of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery or receipt of notice of, and receipt of a demand to take action with respect to, such Material Defect, or (b) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, any party’s discovery of such Material Defect (such 90-day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), to (i) cure such Material Defect in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of losses and any Additional Trust Fund Expenses associated therewith, including the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan) (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (or the Trust’s interest therein with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account or (iii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the related Whole Loans, for which no substitution shall be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur later than the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith, all in conformity with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Defect is capable of being cured but not within such Initial Cure Period, (ii) such Material Defect is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) the Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within such Initial Cure Period, then the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional 90 days (such additional 90-day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure or, in the event of a failure to so cure, to complete such repurchase or substitution (it being understood and agreed that, in connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s receiving such Extended Cure Period, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Defect was not cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the

 -142-

Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure of such Material Defect and stating that the Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within such Extended Cure Period); and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is still not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the recorded document, then the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase or substitution obligations in respect of such Document Defect so long as the Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator every 30 days thereafter that the Document Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, repurchase or substitution may continue beyond the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be substituted for, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Substitution Shortfall Amount are to be wired. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced, and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, after the related Cut-off Date through, but not including, the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution within two Business Days following receipt of properly identified and available funds constituting such Periodic Payment. From and after the date of substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if any, that has been substituted shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a Mortgagor), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, theatre or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver to the Custodian copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.

If the Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer (in the case of Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) on behalf of the Trust (and in each case, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan or a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, with the consent of the Directing Holder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of this Agreement. The Special

 -143-

Servicer shall determine the amount of any applicable Loss of Value Payment (with the consent of the Directing Holder in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is not an applicable Excluded Loan and for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and, in the case of any Repurchase Request with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans prior to the occurrence of a Resolution Failure, shall communicate such amount to the Master Servicer for its enforcement action with the Mortgage Loan Seller. In connection with any such determination with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer but in any event within the time frame and in the manner provided in Section 3.19, with the Servicing File and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to the extent set forth in Section 3.19 in order to permit the Special Servicer to calculate the Loss of Value Payment as set forth in this Section 2.03(b). 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 and the portion of fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer (in the case of Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) on behalf of the Trust, provided, that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

The cure, repurchase and substitution obligations or the obligation to pay the Loss of Value Payment described herein will constitute the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner in connection with a material breach of any representation or warranty or a material document defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan. None of the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other person will be obligated to repurchase or replace any affected Mortgage Loan or make a Loss of Value Payment in connection with a breach of any of the representations and warranties or a document defect if the Mortgage Loan Seller defaults on its obligations to do so.

If the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives (i) a Repurchase Communication of a request or demand for repurchase or replacement of any Mortgage Loan alleging a Document Defect or Breach (any such request or demand, a “15Ga-1 Repurchase Request”) or

 -144-

(ii) a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given and which withdrawal is by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”), such party shall give written notice of such Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto, the Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any Companion Holder (if applicable) and, subject to Section 13.10 of this Agreement, each of the Rating Agencies (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If the Special Servicer receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan that was subject of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request has been repurchased or replaced (a “Repurchase”), or that such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request has been rejected (a “Repurchase Request Rejection”), then the Special Servicer shall (in accordance with the following paragraph) give written notice of such Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Seller unless it is the entity that has repurchased or replaced the subject Mortgage Loan or rejected such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, and unless it is the party that notified the Special Servicer thereof, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee.

Each notice of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection required to be given by a party pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) (each, a “15Ga-1 Notice”) shall be given no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Repurchase Communication of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, and shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date that the Repurchase Communication regarding the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection was received, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (as asserted in the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request) and (iv) in the case of 15Ga-1 Notices provided by the Special Servicer with respect to a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, a statement as to whether the Special Servicer currently plans to pursue such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request.

If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, a Repurchase or a Repurchase Request Rejection, then such party shall promptly forward such Repurchase Communication of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Special Servicer (with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan) and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a Repurchase Communication regarding [a “15Ga-1 Repurchase Request”] [a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”] [a “Repurchase”] [a “Repurchase Request Rejection”] under Section 2.03(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the GS Mortgage Securities Trust 2017-GS5 Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5, requiring action by you as the recipient of such [15Ga-1 Repurchase Request] [Repurchase Request Withdrawal] [Repurchase] [Repurchase Request Rejection] thereunder”. Upon receipt of any Repurchase Communication of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to be the recipient of such Repurchase Communication of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request,

 -145-

Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, and the Special Servicer shall comply with the notice procedures set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.03(b) with respect to such Repurchase Communication of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection.

No Person that is required to provide a 15Ga-1 Notice pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) (a “15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) shall be required to provide any information in a 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) is so provided only to assist the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) by a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

On or before the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the Master Servicer a copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which the Master Servicer shall provide to each Sub-Servicer.

Contemporaneously with its execution of this Agreement, the Depositor shall cause the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver a power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit F to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, that permits such parties to take such other action as is necessary to effect the delivery, assignment and/or recordation of any documents and/or instruments relating to any Mortgage Loan which have not been delivered, assigned or recorded at the time required for enforcement by the Trust Fund. Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to effect (at the expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller) the assignment and recordation of its respective Mortgage Loan documents until the assignment and recordation of all such Mortgage Loan documents has been completed.

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the parties to this Agreement agree that if a “material document defect” exists with respect to a Non-Serviced Companion Loan under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Seller (or other responsible repurchasing entity) repurchases the related Companion Loan pursuant to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall also repurchase such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such repurchase obligation does not apply to any “material document defect” related solely to the promissory note for such Companion Loan.

(c)        Subject to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement, failure of the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the documents referred to in clauses (1), (2), (7), (8), (18) and (19) in the definition of “Mortgage File” in accordance with this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement for any Mortgage Loan shall be deemed a Material Document Defect; provided, however, that no Document Defect (except a deemed Material

 -146-

Document Defect described above) shall be considered to be a Material Document Defect unless the document with respect to which the Document Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the Mortgage or for any immediate significant servicing obligation.

(d)        In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for, a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents (including, without limitation, the Servicing File), and all escrows and reserve funds, pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust or as otherwise reasonably requested to effect the retransfer and reconveyance of the Mortgage Loan and the security thereof to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon its receipt (and such receipt shall be deemed to be the Master Servicer’s direction to the Trustee and the Custodian to) from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase or substitution have been satisfied. The Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and the Trustee or any of them, the endorsements and assignments contemplated by this Section 2.03(d), and such other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to transfer title to an REO Property (including with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) in connection with the repurchase of, or substitution for, an REO Loan and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any powers of attorney necessary to permit the Master Servicer to do so; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or any of its agents or subcontractors. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement provides that in the event a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a Mortgage Loan by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to deliver to the Custodian the Mortgage File and to the Master Servicer all Escrow Payments and reserve funds pertaining to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan possessed by it and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in this Agreement.

(e)        The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement provides the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner, or the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, respecting any Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

 -147-

(f)         If (i) any Crossed Underlying Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in this Section 2.03 and (ii) the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect, as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Defect will be deemed to constitute a Material Defect or Breach as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to repurchase or substitute for such other Crossed Underlying Loan(s) in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in Section 2.03(b) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the Mortgage Loan Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan(s) as to which the related Material Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated among the related Crossed Underlying Loans in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Except as provided in this Section 2.03(f) and Section 2.03(g), all other terms of the related Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect without any modification thereof.

(g)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the related Mortgage provides for the partial release of one or more of the Crossed Underlying Loans, the Depositor may cause the Mortgage Loan Seller to repurchase only that Crossed Underlying Loan required to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.03, pursuant to the partial release provisions of the related Mortgage; provided, however, that (i) the remaining related Crossed Underlying Loan(s) fully comply with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage, this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria, (ii) in connection with such partial release, the Mortgage Loan Seller obtains an Opinion of Counsel (at the Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and (iii) in connection with such partial release, the Mortgage Loan Seller delivers or causes to be delivered to the Custodian original modifications to the Mortgage prepared and executed in connection with such partial release.

(h)        With respect to any Crossed Underlying Loan, to the extent that the Mortgage Loan Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for such Crossed Underlying Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 2.03(b) while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, as assignee of the Depositor, will, as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each will be permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective related Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as such exercise does not materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of the remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Underlying Loans held by such party, then both parties have agreed in the Mortgage

 -148-

Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loan can be modified in a manner that complies with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.

(i)         (i)  In the event an Initial Requesting Holder delivers a written request to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as the Operating Advisor) or the Custodian that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the Mortgage Loan Seller alleging the existence of a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (an “Owner Repurchase Request”), such party shall promptly forward that Owner Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and the Enforcing Servicer, shall promptly forward that Owner Repurchase Request to the Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement and take the actions required under Section 2.03(j). Subject to Section 2.03(j), the Enforcing Servicer shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to the Owner Repurchase Request. If a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to the Owner Repurchase Request, the provisions described in Section 2.03(j)(i) shall apply.

(ii)        In the event that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) has knowledge of a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, that party shall deliver prompt written notice of such Material Defect to each other party to this Agreement, identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “PSA Party Repurchase Request”, and each of an Owner Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, a “Repurchase Request”), and the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly forward such PSA Party Repurchase Request to the Mortgage Loan Seller. Subject to Section 2.03(j), the Enforcing Servicer shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to the PSA Party Repurchase Request. If a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to the PSA Party Repurchase Request, the provisions described below under Section 2.03(j) shall apply.

(iii)       In the event the Repurchase Request is not Resolved within 180 days after the Mortgage Loan Seller receives the Repurchase Request (a “Resolution Failure”) shall be deemed to have occurred. Receipt of the Repurchase Request shall be deemed to occur two (2) Business Days after the Repurchase Request is sent to the Mortgage Loan Seller.

(iv)      Within two (2) Business Days after a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request made by any Person other than the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall send a written notice (a “Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Special Servicer, indicating the Master Servicer’s analysis and recommended course of action with respect to such Repurchase Request, along with the Servicing File and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer without undue

 -149-

burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder to the extent set forth in this Agreement for such Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of such Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice and such Servicing File, the Special Servicer shall become the Enforcing Servicer with respect to such Repurchase Request.

(j)         (i) After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial Requesting Holder or by a party to this Agreement), the Enforcing Servicer will be required to send a notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Holder, if any, at the address specified in the Initial Requesting Holder’s Repurchase Request, and to the Certificate Administrator, who shall make such notice available to all other Certificateholders, Certificate Owners and the Retained Interest Owner (by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website) indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Proposed Course of Action”). If the Master Servicer is the Enforcing Servicer, the Master Servicer may (but shall not be obligated to) consult with the Special Servicer and (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred) the Directing Holder regarding any Proposed Course of Action. Such notice shall include (a) a request to the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner to indicate their agreement with or dissent from such Proposed Course of Action by clearly marking “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action on such notice within 30 days of the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received after such 30-day period will not be taken into consideration, (b) a statement that in the event any Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer (either as the Enforcing Party or as the Enforcing Servicer in circumstances where a Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner is acting as the Enforcing Party) shall be compelled to follow (either as the Enforcing Party or as the Enforcing Servicer in circumstances where a Certificateholder is acting as the Enforcing Party) the course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority, by Certificate Principal Balance and Retained Interest Balance, of the responding Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Retained Interest Owner that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration, as the case may be, (c) a statement that responding Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Retained Interest Owner will be required to certify their holdings in connection with such response, (d) a statement that only responses clearly marked “agree” or “disagree” with such Proposed Course of Action will be taken into consideration and (e) instructions for responding Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Retained Interest Owner to send their responses to the Enforcing Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall, within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the 30-day response period, tabulate the responses received from the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner and share the results with the Enforcing Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall only count responses timely received that clearly indicate agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language shall not be taken into consideration for purposes of determining whether the applicable Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner agrees or disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to answer any questions from Certificateholders or the Retained Interest Owner regarding such Proposed Course of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator’s obligations in connection with this Section 2.03(j) shall be limited solely to tabulating Certificateholder and Retained Interest Owner responses of “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action,

 -150-

and such obligation shall not be construed to impose any enforcement obligation on the Certificate Administrator. The Enforcing Servicer may conclusively rely (without investigation) on the Certificate Administrator’s tabulation of the majority, by Certificate Principal Balance and Retained Interest Balance, of the responding Certificateholders and Retained Interest Owner. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Holder, if any, or any other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or the Retained Interest Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Holder, if any, or any other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or the Retained Interest Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Holder, if any, or such other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or the Retained Interest Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 30 days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration. In the event any Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or the Retained Interest Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice, and the Enforcing Servicer has also received responses from other Certificateholders, Certificate Owners or the Retained Interest Owner supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action indicating a recommendation to undertake mediation or arbitration, such responses shall be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting the Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action proposed by the majority, by Certificate Principal Balance and Retained Interest Balance, of Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner.

(ii)        If neither the Initial Requesting Holder, if any, nor any other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or the Retained Interest Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, no Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or the Retained Interest Owner shall have the right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer, as the Enforcing Party, shall be the sole party obligated and entitled to determine a course of action, including but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08.

(iii)       Promptly and in any event within 10 Business Days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice from (a) the Initial Requesting Holder, if any, or (b) any other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or the Retained Interest Owner (each of clauses (a) or (b), a “Requesting Holder”), the Enforcing Servicer will be required to consult with each Requesting Holder regarding such Requesting Holder’s intention to elect either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Holder may consider the views of the Enforcing Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible

 -151-

dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than 10 Business Days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date. The Enforcing Servicer shall be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems in good faith to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard relating to the timing and extent of such consultations. No later than 5 Business Days after completion of the Dispute Resolution Consultation, a Requesting Holder may provide a final notice to the Enforcing Servicer indicating its decision to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration (“Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice”).

(iv)       If, following the Dispute Resolution Consultation, no Requesting Holder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then the Enforcing Servicer will continue to act as the Enforcing Party and remain obligated under this Agreement to determine a course of action, including but not limited to, enforcing the rights of the Trust with respect to the Repurchase Request and no Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or the Retained Interest Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration.

(v)        If a Requesting Holder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such Requesting Holder shall become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. If there is more than one Requesting Holder that timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Holders will collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Holders will be entitled to make all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration. If, however, no Requesting Holder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement within 30 days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then (i) the rights of a Requesting Holder to act as the Enforcing Party shall terminate and no Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or the Retained Interest Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer shall take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Material Defect shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Material Defect shall not be deemed waived with respect a Requesting Holder, any other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner, the Retained Interest Owner or the Enforcing Servicer to the extent there is a material change in the facts and circumstances known to such party at the time when the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Enforcing Servicer shall again become the Enforcing Party and, as such, shall be the sole party obligated and entitled to determine a course of action including, but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the Mortgage Loan Seller.

(vi)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this Section 2.03(j) will not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer shall remain the Enforcing Party, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to

 -152-

the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.

(vii)      In the event a Requesting Holder becomes the Enforcing Party, the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall remain a party to any proceedings against the Mortgage Loan Seller; provided that the degree and extent to which the Enforcing Servicer actively prepares for and participates in such proceeding shall be determined by such Enforcing Servicer in consultation with the Directing Holder, provided that a Consultation Termination Event has not occurred and is continuing and an applicable Excluded Loan is not involved, and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. For the avoidance of doubt, the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Seller and any of their respective Affiliates shall not be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Holder or a Requesting Holder.

(k)        If the Enforcing Party selects mediation (including nonbinding arbitration), the following provisions shall apply:

(i)         The mediation shall be administered by a nationally recognized mediation services provider selected by the Mortgage Loan Seller (such provider, the “Mediation Services Provider”) in accordance with published mediation procedures promulgated by the Mediation Services Provider.

(ii)        The mediator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation, and either, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters or other complex commercial transactions and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Mediation Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential mediators by the Mediation Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within 14 days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference. The Mediation Services Provider shall select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)       The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct an organizational conference to begin the mediation within 10 Business Days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within 60 days thereafter.

(iv)       The expenses of any mediation shall be allocated among the parties to the mediation including, if applicable, between the Enforcing Party and the Enforcing Servicer, as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation.

(l)         If the Enforcing Party selects third-party arbitration, the following provisions will apply:

(i)         The arbitration shall be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration services provider selected by the Mortgage Loan Seller (such provider, the “Arbitration

 -153-

Services Provider”) in accordance with published arbitration procedures promulgated by the Arbitration Services Provider.

(ii)        The arbitrator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation, and either commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters or other complex commercial transactions and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Arbitration Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential arbitrators by the Arbitration Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within 14 days and to rank the remaining potential arbitrators in order of preference. The Arbitration Services Provider will select the arbitrator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)       Prior to accepting an appointment, the arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule.

(iv)       After consulting with the parties at an organizational conference held not later than 10 Business Days after its appointment, the arbitrator shall devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within 120 days. The arbitrator shall have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for non-jury matters (the “Rules”) (including summary judgment and other prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so by reasoned decision on the motion of any party to the arbitration.

(v)       Notwithstanding whatever other discovery may be available under the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party to the arbitration will be presumptively limited to the following discovery in the arbitration: (A) the parties shall reasonably and in good faith voluntarily produce to all other parties all documents upon which they intend to rely and all documents they reasonably and in good faith believe to be relevant to the claims or defenses asserted by any of the parties, (B) party witness depositions (excluding Rule 30b-6 witnesses), and (C) expert witness depositions, provided, that the arbitrator shall have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitrator determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.

(vi)       The arbitrator shall make its final determination no later than 30 days after the conclusion of the hearings and submission of any post-hearing submissions. The arbitrator shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, and may not modify or change those agreements in any way or award remedies not consistent with those agreements. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them. Interest on any monetary award shall bear interest from the date of the Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice at the Prime Rate. In its

 -154-

final determination, the arbitrator shall determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties to the arbitration as determined by the arbitrator in its reasonable discretion. The determination of the arbitrator shall be by a reasoned decision in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The final determination of the arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or state law, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(vii)      By selecting arbitration, the Enforcing Party is waiving its right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

(viii)     No person may bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration.

(m)       The following provisions will apply to both mediation and third-party arbitration:

(i)         Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York unless another location is agreed by all parties;

(ii)        If the dispute involves a matter that cannot effectively be remedied by the payment of damages, or if there be any dispute relating to arbitration or the arbitrators that cannot be resolved promptly by the arbitrators or the Arbitration Services Provider, then any party in such instance may during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings seek temporary equitable remedies, pending the final decision of the arbitration panel, solely by application in the Southern District if such court shall have subject matter jurisdiction, or if the Southern District has no jurisdiction, then the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York. The arbitration proceedings shall not be stayed unless so ordered by the court.

(iii)       The details and/or existence of any Repurchase Request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 2.03, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to informally resolve any Repurchase Request, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 2.03). Such information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or shared with any third party (other than a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 2.03), except as otherwise required by law, regulatory requirement or court order. If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient will promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and will provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

 -155-

(iv)       In the event a Requesting Holder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall be required to contain an acknowledgment that the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, shall be a party to any arbitration or mediation proceedings solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing Party; provided that the degree and extent to which the Enforcing Servicer actively prepares for and participates in such proceeding will be determined by such Enforcing Servicer in consultation with the Directing Holder, provided that a Consultation Termination Event has not occurred and is continuing and an applicable Excluded Loan is not involved, and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. All amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party shall be paid to the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, will provide that in the event a Requesting Holder is allocated any related costs and expenses pursuant to the terms of the arbitrator’s decision or the agreement reached in mediation, neither the Trust nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf shall be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Holder.

(v)        In the event a Requesting Holder is the Enforcing Party, the Requesting Holder to pay any expenses allocated to the Enforcing Party in the arbitration proceedings or any expenses that the Enforcing Party agrees to bear in the mediation proceedings.

Each party to the proceedings shall be required to agree to keep confidential the details related to the Repurchase Request and the dispute resolution identified in connection with such procedures; provided, however, that Certificateholders, Certificate Owners and the Retained Interest Owner shall be permitted to communicate prior to the commencement of any such proceedings to the extent provided in Section 5.06.

(vii)      For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the exercise of any right of a Requesting Holder to refer a Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration or participation in such mediation or arbitration affect in any manner the ability of the Enforcing Servicer to perform its obligations with respect to a Mortgage Loan or the exercise of any rights of a Directing Holder.

(viii)     Any out-of-pocket expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in a mediation or arbitration shall be reimbursable as Trust Fund expenses.

 -158-

Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates is a mortgage loan seller) (the foregoing, collectively referred to as the “Servicing Standard”).

The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall act in accordance with the Servicing Standard with respect to any action required to be taken regarding the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans pursuant to their obligations under this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.19, the Special Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer (i) any Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and any related Serviced Companion Loans as to which a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing (each, a “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan”) or as otherwise provided herein with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in connection with any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision and (ii) any REO Properties (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties); provided that the Master Servicer shall continue to receive payments and make all calculations, and prepare, or cause to be prepared, all reports, required hereunder with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, except for the reports specified herein as prepared by the Special Servicer, as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to the REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred, and to render such services with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for herein; provided, further, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Special Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Master Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Special Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. The Master Servicer, in its capacity as Master Servicer, will not have any responsibility for the performance by the Special Servicer, in its capacity as a Special Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. The Special Servicer, in its capacity as a Special Servicer, will not have any responsibility for the performance by the Master Servicer, in its capacity as Master Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. Each Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall continue as such until satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 3.19(a). Without limiting the foregoing, subject to (i) the processing of any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision by the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) Section 3.19, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loan. The Special Servicer shall make the property inspections, use its reasonable efforts to collect the financial statements, budgets, operating statements and rent rolls and forward to the Master Servicer the reports in respect of the related Mortgaged Properties with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 3.12. After notification to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer may contact the Mortgagor of any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan if efforts by the Master Servicer to collect required financial information have been unsuccessful or any other issues remain unresolved. Such contact shall be coordinated through and with the cooperation of the Master Servicer. No provision herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectability or recoverability of payments on the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loan or shall be construed to impair or adversely affect any rights or benefits provided by this Agreement to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (including with respect to Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees or the right to be reimbursed for Advances and interest accrued

 -159-

thereon). Any provision in this Agreement for any Advance by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such Person the risk of loss with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loans. No provision hereof shall be construed to impose liability on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for the reason that any recovery to the Certificateholders or the Retained Interest Owner in respect of a Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery is less than the amount reflected in such determination.

(b)       Subject only to the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.08) and of the respective Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loans and any related Co-Lender Agreement, if applicable, and applicable law, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone or, in the case of the Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.20, through one or more Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration for which it is responsible which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, in its own name (or in the name of the Trustee and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder), is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders (and, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder), the Retained Interest Owner and the Trustee or any of them, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loan, it is obligated to service under this Agreement: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, and shall, from time to time, execute and/or deliver such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments as necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) subject to Sections 3.08, 3.18 and 6.08, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to, under or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File; (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, pledge agreements and other documents in connection with a defeasance, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments; and (iv) any or all complaints or other pleadings to initiate and/or to terminate any action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the Trust (in their representative capacities (except as set forth below in this paragraph).

Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall (i) on the Closing Date, furnish to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer original powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit R attached hereto (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and (ii) upon request, furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit R attached hereto (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however,

 -160-

that the Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any acts of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as the case may be, shall not, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, representative capacity (unless prohibited by any requirement of the applicable jurisdiction in which any such action, suit or proceeding is brought and if so prohibited, in the manner required by such jurisdiction (provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall then provide five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or such shorter time period as is reasonably required in the judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard) prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding), and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity)) or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be required to be registered to do business in any state.

(c)        To the extent the Master Servicer is permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Co-Lender Agreement) to exercise its discretion with respect to any action which requires Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), the Master Servicer shall require the costs of such Rating Agency Confirmation to be borne by the related Mortgagor. To the extent the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Co-Lender Agreement) require the Mortgagor to bear the costs of any Rating Agency Confirmation or confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), the Master Servicer shall not waive the requirement that such costs and expenses be borne by the related Mortgagor. To the extent that the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Co-Lender Agreement) are silent as to who bears the costs of any Rating Agency Confirmation or confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. The Master Servicer shall not be responsible for the payment of such costs and expenses out of pocket other than as a Property Protection Advance.

(d)        The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.

(e)        The Master Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents or any related Companion Loan documents, and consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit Escrow Payments to be invested only in Permitted Investments.

(f)         Within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt thereof by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, (x) the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall notify each provider of a letter of credit for each Mortgage Loan identified as having a letter of credit on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee, as titled in Section 2.01(b)) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner and any related Companion Holders shall be the beneficiary under each such letter of credit and (y) the Master Servicer shall notify each lessor under a Ground Lease for each Mortgage Loan identified as subject to a leasehold interest on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Trust is the leasehold mortgagee, that any notices of default under such Ground Lease required to be delivered to the leasehold mortgagee pursuant to the terms of such Ground Lease shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall service the related Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner. If a letter of credit is required to be drawn upon earlier than the date the Mortgage Loan Seller has notified the provider of such letter of credit pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer in connection with making a draw under such letter of credit. If the Mortgage Loan documents do not require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to or assignment of the related letter of credit, then the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. If the Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to the related letter of credit, and such Mortgagor fails to pay such costs and expenses after the Master Servicer has exercised reasonable efforts to collect such costs and expenses from such Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer shall give the Mortgage Loan Seller notice of such failure and the amount of costs and expenses, and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for the failure of the Mortgage Loan Seller to perform its obligations under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(g)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) make an Advance with respect to any Companion Loan to the extent the related Serviced Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or is no longer included in the Trust Fund.

(h)       Servicing and administration of each Serviced Companion Loan shall continue hereunder and in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement for so long as the

 -162-

corresponding Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property is part of the Trust Fund or for such longer period as any amounts payable by the related Companion Holder, to or for the benefit of the Trust or any party hereto in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement remain due and owing.

(i)         The Special Servicer agrees that upon the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, that is subject to or becomes subject to a Co-Lender Agreement in the future, it shall, subject to Section 3.19, use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, on behalf of the Trust, subject to the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Special Servicer determines such action is in the best interests of the Trust, all rights conveyed to the Trustee pursuant to any such Co-Lender Agreement. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with such enforcement shall be paid as a Trust Fund expense or, subject to the terms of the applicable Co-Lender Agreement, (i) with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pro rata and pari passu, by the Trust and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in accordance with the respective Stated Principal Balances of the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, or (ii) with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, first, by the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan and then, by the Trust.

(j)         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the servicing and administration of a Serviced Whole Loan shall continue hereunder (but not with respect to making Advances) even if the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, until such time as a separate servicing agreement is entered into in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement (it being acknowledged that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated under a separate agreement to which it is not a party); provided that, other than pursuant to Section 6.04 (and, with respect to Section 6.04, solely with respect to claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with a legal claim or action resulting from an action or inaction taken or not taken while the related Serviced Mortgage Loan was part of the Trust Fund), no costs, expenses, losses or fees accruing with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan on and after the date the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund shall be payable out of the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Advance on or after the date such Serviced Mortgage Loan ceases to be part of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that if, in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan continues to be included in an Other Securitization, then for so long as a separate servicing agreement (pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement) has not been entered into, the Master Servicer shall inform the related Other Servicer of any need to make Property Protection Advances with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan within three (3) Business Days of determining that such an Advance is necessary or being notified that such an Advance is necessary, or in the case of a Property Protection Advance that needs to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, within one (1) Business Day. With respect to Property Protection Advances made by any Other Servicer as contemplated in the proviso to the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall, from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan (but never out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) received by the Master Servicer, reimburse the Other Servicer for such Property Protection Advances in

 -163-

the same manner and on the same level of priority as if such Property Protection Advances had been made by the Master Servicer hereunder.

(k)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are limited by and subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement and the rights of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect thereto under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement. The Master Servicer (or, with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer) shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standards to enforce the rights of the Trustee (as holder of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement and Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement.

(l)         The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement and further acknowledge that, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement, (i) the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is to be serviced and administered by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer in accordance with the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, and (ii) in the event that (A) the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund created by the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and (B) the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, then, as set forth in the related Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement, the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, until such time as a new servicing agreement has been agreed to by the parties to the related Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement in accordance with the provisions of such agreement and confirmation has been obtained from the Rating Agencies that such new servicing agreement would not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any Class of Certificates then outstanding.

(m)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan are limited by, and subject to, the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement. The Master Servicer (or, if a Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer) shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain the benefits of the rights of the Trust (as holder of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Co-Lender Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement, the provisions of the related Co-Lender Agreement shall control.

(n)        In connection with the securitization of any Serviced Companion Loan, while it is a Serviced Companion Loan, upon the request of (and at the expense of) the related Serviced Companion Noteholder (or its designee), each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer (if such Serviced Companion Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the Trustee, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Serviced Companion Noteholder in attempting to cause the related Mortgagor to provide information relating to such

 -164-

Whole Loan and the related notes, and that such holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, for inclusion in any disclosure document(s) relating to such Other Securitization.

(o)       To the extent required under the any Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the related lender, maintain a Note register for the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, in accordance with such Mortgage Loan documents.

Section 3.02     Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans and the Companion Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard); provided, that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan that it is obligated to service hereunder three (3) times during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months with respect to any Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan one additional time in such 24-month period so long as with respect to any of the foregoing waivers, no Advance or additional expense of the Trust has been incurred and remains unreimbursed to the Trust with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan. Any additional waivers during such 24-month period with respect to such Mortgage Loan may be made, subject to the Servicing Standard, only after the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, given notice of a proposed waiver to the Directing Holder and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder has consented to such additional waiver (provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Holder in writing within five (5) days of giving such notice, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver); provided, further, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive any Penalty Charge in accordance with the Servicing Standard without the consent of the Directing Holder; provided, further, that the Directing Holder shall have no consent rights with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan with respect to the foregoing waivers.

(b)       (i)  All amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of a Mortgage Loan shall be applied to amounts due and owing under the Mortgage Loan documents (including for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of the Mortgage Loan documents; provided, however, that absent express provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (including any related Co-Lender Agreement), other than with respect to the application of Liquidation Proceeds, all amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of a Mortgage Loan in the form of payments from the related Mortgagor or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds under the Mortgage Loan or any proceeds (other than Liquidation Proceeds) with respect to any REO Loan (exclusive of amounts payable

The Master Servicer shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified and available funds, deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property or any related REO Property.

(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, the Companion Loan documents, as the case may be. Any Servicing Account related to a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner and the related Serviced Companion Noteholder collectively, but this shall not be construed to modify respective interests of either noteholder therein as set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement. Amounts on deposit in Servicing Accounts may only be invested in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and Companion

 -169-

Loan documents, as applicable, or in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited from a Servicing Account may be made only to: (i) effect payment of items for which Escrow Payments were collected and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Trustee and then the Master Servicer, if applicable, for any Property Protection Advances; (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account, if required by applicable law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and as described below or, if not so required, to the Master Servicer; (v) after the occurrence of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, apply amounts to the indebtedness under the applicable Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; (vi) withdraw amounts deposited in error; (vii) pay Penalty Charges to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents; or (viii) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to remit to any Mortgagor any amounts in excess of actual net investment income or funds in the related Servicing Account. If allowed by the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor an administrative fee for maintenance of the Servicing Accounts.

(b)       The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Serviced Companion Loan, shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof. The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Serviced Companion Loan, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof from the applicable REO Account or by the Master Servicer as Property Protection Advances prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items, employing for such purpose Escrow Payments (which shall be so applied by the Master Servicer at the written direction of the Special Servicer in the case of REO Loans) as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Companion Loan. Other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall service and administer any reserve accounts (including monitoring, maintaining or changing the amounts of required escrows) in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, and the Servicing Standard. To the extent that a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Companion Loan, as applicable, does not require a Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans, and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans, Companion Loan that it is responsible for servicing hereunder, shall use

 -170-

reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to comply with its obligation to make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items.

(c)        In accordance with the Servicing Standard and for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and each Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable) and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Mortgagor (or related REO Revenues, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and provided, however, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance and provided, further, however, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make such advance until the later of five (5) Business Days after the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, has received confirmation that such item has not been paid or the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer and the Trustee no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Property Protection Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property; provided, however, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Property Protection Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Property Protection Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis) more frequently than once per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Property Protection Advance). The Master Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such Property Protection Advances listed on a monthly request to the Special Servicer, in which case the Special Servicer shall remit such Property Protection Advances to the ultimate payees. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Property Protection Advances; provided, that in an urgent or emergency situation requiring the making of a Property Protection Advance, the Special Servicer may make a Property Protection Advance. Within five (5) Business Days of making such a Property Protection Advance, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer request for reimbursement for such Property Protection Advance, along with all information and documentation in the Special Servicer’s possession regarding the subject Property Protection Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of such Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any unreimbursed Property Protection Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances which shall be reimbursed from the Collection Account) made by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof), together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of interest shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Special Servicer. Upon the Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the Special Servicer of any Property Protection Advance and payment to the

 -171-

Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.03, the Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Property Protection Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer actually made such Property Protection Advance, and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such Property Protection Advance, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made such Property Protection Advance at the time the Special Servicer did.

Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Property Protection Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Property Protection Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination, provided that the determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer or Trustee. On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer determines any Property Protection Advance previously made by the Master Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination, but such determination shall be binding upon the Master Servicer, and shall in no way limit the ability of the Master Servicer in the absence of such determination to make its own determination that any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion of, and not all of, any previously made or proposed Property Protection Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Property Protection Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the Certificate Administrator’s calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans or related Serviced Companion Loan, so permit. If the Master Servicer fails to make any required Property Protection Advance as and when due (including any applicable cure periods), to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure, the Trustee shall make such Property Protection Advance pursuant to Section 7.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Property Protection Advance shall be required hereunder if such Property Protection Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance. In addition, the Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Property Protection Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Property Protection Advances under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer out of its own funds for, or to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Property Protection Advance if the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such Property Protection Advance, although

 -172-

not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer may in its good faith judgment elect (but shall not be required unless directed by the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Loans) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (or any Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by a Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) (which shall be deemed first made from amounts distributable as principal and then from all other amounts comprising general collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below notwithstanding that the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, as applicable) has determined that a Property Protection Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) that making such expenditure is in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner, all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans). The Master Servicer or Trustee may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances from the Trust pursuant to the terms of Section 3.17(c). The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer is obligated to make property protection advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement) in the manner set forth in the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and the applicable Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement.

(d)       In connection with its recovery of any Property Protection Advance out of the Collection Account (or any Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Trustee, the Special Servicer and then the Master Servicer, as the case may be and in that order, shall be entitled to receive, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Property Protection Advance from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Subject to Section 3.17(c), the Master Servicer shall reimburse itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding Property Protection Advance as soon as practically possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account (or any Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) subject to the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s

 -173-

options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts as provided herein; provided, however, that such Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts shall not alter the Master Servicer’s obligation to reimburse the Special Servicer for any outstanding Property Protection Advance as provided for in this sentence. To the extent amounts on deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account with respect to the related Companion Loan are insufficient for any such reimbursement, the Master Servicer shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to enforce the rights of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan under the related Co-Lender Agreement to obtain any reimbursement available from the holder of the related Companion Loan.

(e)       To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation thereof within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which plan is required to be established or completed. To the extent any repairs, capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation of such actions and remediations within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which action or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed. To the extent a Mortgagor shall fail to promptly respond to any inquiry described in this Section 3.03(e), the Master Servicer shall report any such failure to the Special Servicer within a reasonable time after the date as of which actions or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements, the Master Servicer need not deposit into the Collection Account any amount that the Master Servicer would be authorized to withdraw immediately from such account in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 and shall be entitled to instead immediately pay such amount directly to the Person(s) entitled thereto; provided that such amounts shall be applied in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be reported as if deposited in such Collection Account and then withdrawn.

With respect to each Companion Loan (excluding any Non-Serviced Companion Loan), the Companion Paying Agent shall establish and maintain the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, which may be a subaccount of the Collection Account, for distributions to each Companion Holder, to be held for the benefit of the related Companion Holder and shall, within 2 Business Days following receipt of available and properly identified funds, deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account any and all amounts received by the Companion Paying Agent that are required by the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Co-Lender Agreement to be deposited therein; provided, however, that the Companion Paying Agent shall separately track for each Serviced Companion Loan all amounts deposited with respect to such Serviced Companion Loan. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Companion Paying Agent each month, on or before the Master Servicer Remittance Date therein, for deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, an aggregate amount of immediately available funds, to the extent received with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent of available funds, equal to the amount to be distributed to the related Companion Holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement.

The Certificate Administrator shall, based upon information obtained from the CREFC^® reports delivered by the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, account for the Loss of Value Reserve Fund 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 through the Collection Account to the Certificateholders as contributed to and distributed by the Trust REMICs and (ii) treat any amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to a Mortgage Loan Seller as distributions by the Trust to the Mortgage Loan Seller as beneficial owner of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The Mortgage Loan Seller will be the beneficial owner of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon.

In the event that any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment (as to which the Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, would have been entitled to any Net Investment Earnings hereunder) directed to be made by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and on deposit in any of the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, the Servicing Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or the applicable REO Account, the Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer (in the case of the applicable REO Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) shall deposit therein, no later than the Master Servicer Remittance Date, without right of reimbursement, the amount of Net Investment Loss, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the Master Servicer Remittance Date related to the current Distribution Date; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account at the time such investment was made (and, with respect to the Master Servicer, such federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company is not an Affiliate of the Master Servicer unless such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualification set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at the time the investment was made and (y) thirty (30) days prior to such insolvency).

(c)          Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Master Servicer may and, upon the request of holders of Voting Rights representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

Section 3.07      Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a)  The Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall use its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties) shall maintain, to the extent required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage Loan documents except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default (and except as provided in the next sentence with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable). If the Mortgagor does not so maintain such insurance coverage, subject to its recoverability

 -193-

determination with respect to any required Property Protection Advance, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall maintain all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage, but only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates, as determined ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, any determination that such insurance coverage is not available or not available at commercially reasonable rates to be made with the consent of the Directing Holder) by the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by the Special Servicer; provided, however, that if any Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or, with respect to REO Property, the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall impose or maintain, as applicable, such insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing Standard taking into account the insurance in place at the closing of the Mortgage Loan, provided that, with respect to the immediately preceding proviso, the Master Servicer will be obligated to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts unless the Mortgagor’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as determined by the Special Servicer (i) with (in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan and unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) the consent of the Directing Holder and (ii) (other than an applicable Excluded Loan after consultation by the Special Servicer with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. Subject to Section 3.15(a) and the costs of such insurance being reimbursed or paid to the Special Servicer as provided in the third-to-last sentence of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall maintain for each REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents unless the Special Servicer determines ((i) unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and after consultation by the Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (ii) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, with the consent of the Directing Holder) that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates or that the Trustee does not have an insurable interest, in which case the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination. All Insurance Policies maintained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall (i) contain a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), including any related Serviced Companion Loan, other than REO Properties) or to the

 -194-

Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (ii) be in the name of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (iii) include coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as applicable, and (y) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions, (iv) include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction for depreciation (unless such endorsement is not permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents), (v) be noncancelable without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the insured party (except in the case of nonpayment, in which case such policy shall not be cancelled without ten (10) days prior notice) and (vi) subject to the first proviso in the second sentence of this Section 3.07(a), be issued by a Qualified Insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such Insurance Policies. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such Insurance Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan documents) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies in respect of Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) (other than REO Properties and other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (i) if the Mortgagor defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account) and will be charged to the related Mortgagor and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan (if any), notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by a the Special Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies with respect to REO Properties shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account). The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07 shall apply to any Serviced Whole Loan as if it were a single “Mortgage Loan”. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Master Servicer will not be required to maintain, and will not be in default for failing to obtain, any earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and is currently available at commercially reasonable rates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that either (x) require the Mortgagor to maintain “all risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable Mortgagor to maintain insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) reasonably requires from time to time in order to protect its interests, the Master Servicer will be required to, consistent with the Servicing

 -195-

Standard, (A) monitor in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the insurance policies for the related Mortgaged Property contain Additional Exclusions, (B) request the Mortgagor to either purchase insurance against the risks specified in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance and (C) notify the Special Servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge (such knowledge to be based upon the Master Servicer’s compliance with the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) above) that any Mortgagor fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (B) above. If the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained. The Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of such Master Servicer) in determining whether Additional Exclusions exist. Furthermore, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver such conclusions in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the ten (10) highest outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust. During the period that the Special Servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Holder or to consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a), neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance and will not be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required to take any immediate action pursuant to the Servicing Standard or other servicing requirements of this Agreement and the Master Servicer will not itself maintain such insurance or cause such insurance to be maintained.

(b)          (i)  If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, but excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), as the case may be, required to be serviced and administered hereunder, then, to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause fire and hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties. Such Insurance Policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a fire and hazard Insurance Policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such Insurance Policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of such loss or losses that would have been covered under the individual policy but are not covered under the blanket Insurance Policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan), or in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that

 -196-

is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as administrator and Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner, claims under any such blanket Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. The Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, may maintain, earthquake insurance on REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), provided coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates, the cost of which shall be a Property Protection Advance.

(ii)          If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a master single interest or force-placed insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer naming the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee as the loss payee, then to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause such insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties and REO Properties. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such master single interest or force-placed insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance. Such master single interest or force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy had it been maintained, deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the master single or force-placed interest policy because of such deductible clause, to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan, including any related Serviced Companion Loan, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that is consistent with the Servicing Standard.

(c)          Each of the Master 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 with a Qualified Insurer covering the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, officers and employees acting on behalf of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Such amount of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Coverage of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.07(c). The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer will promptly report in writing to the Trustee any material changes that may occur in their respective fidelity bonds, if any, and/or their respective errors and omissions Insurance Policies, as the case may be,

 -197-

and will furnish to the Trustee copies of all binders and policies or certificates evidencing that such bonds, if any, and insurance policies are in full force and effect.

(d)          At the time the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) is in a federally designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available), the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan documents) to maintain, and, if the related Mortgagor shall default in its obligation to so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest therein), flood insurance in respect thereof, but only to the extent the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan permits the mortgagee to require such coverage and the maintenance of such coverage is consistent with the Servicing Standard. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. If the cost of any insurance described above is not borne by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall promptly make a Property Protection Advance for such costs.

(e)       During all such times as any REO Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall be located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Special Servicer will cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer (with the consent of the Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than in respect of any applicable Excluded Loan) and in consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (other than with respect of any applicable Excluded Loan) in accordance with the Servicing Standard), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The cost of any such flood insurance with respect to an REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance.

(f)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term debt or the deposit obligations or deposit accounts or claims-paying ability of the Master Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent) or the Special Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent), as applicable, is rated no lower than “A-” as rated by Fitch or “A3” as rated by Moody’s, the Master Servicer (or its public parent) or the Special Servicer (or its public parent), as applicable, shall be allowed to provide self-insurance with respect to any of its obligations under this Section 3.07.

(g)       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”

 -198-

insurance policy, the issuer of which is rated no lower than the applicable Qualified Insurer ratings, covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s errors or omissions.

Section 3.08       Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. (a)  As to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause, which by its terms:

(i)           provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or

(ii)          provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan may not be assumed without the consent of the mortgagee in connection with any such sale or other transfer,

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall determine (with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard (or, in the case of any non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan if mutually agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall determine in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and subject to the consent (or deemed consent) of the Special Servicer to the extent such action is a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, whether to (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to grant or withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right to exercise such rights, provided that, (i) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a Major Decision, prior to itself taking such an action, shall obtain prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Holder (or (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event and (B) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08(a) hereof, which consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to by the Directing Holder) of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver together with such other information reasonably required by the Directing Holder, and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that (A) represents at least 5.0% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (B) represents one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans (considering any other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted as a single Mortgage Loan) based on Stated Principal Balance and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (C) has a Stated Principal Balance that is more than $35,000,000, or (D) is a Mortgage Loan as to which the related Serviced Companion Loan represents one of the 10 largest mortgage loans in the related other securitization (provided that the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to reasonably rely upon the

 -199-

written notification provided by the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or certificate administrator of such other securitization as to whether such Serviced Companion Loan is one of the 10 largest mortgage loans in such other securitization, or if no timely response is received, permitted to rely upon the most recent CREFC® Reports from such other securitization), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, prior to consenting to any action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan relating to the Controlling Class Representative (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related rating agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(a), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related 17g-5 information provider) in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

If any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of the mortgagee; provided that certain conditions are satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, with respect to all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), related Serviced Companion Loans, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether such conditions have been satisfied, or, with respect to any Mortgage Loan which does not allow the mortgagee discretion in approving a transfer or assumption or does not allow for discretion in determining whether conditions to a transfer or assumption have been satisfied, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as mortgagee of record, shall make such determination with respect to whether such conditions have been satisfied.

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in this Section 3.08(a) that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision (except with regard to the proviso in the definition of “Special Servicer Decision” or “Major Decision”, as applicable) with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request or if otherwise provided herein, the Special Servicer shall process such request and the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the related Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision. If such action with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is not a Special Servicer Decision or a

 -200-

Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall process the related request and shall have no obligation to obtain the consent of or consult with the Special Servicer, Directing Holder or Operating Advisor.

(b)          As to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause that by its terms:

(i)           provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or

(ii)          requires the consent of the mortgagee to the creation of any such additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor;

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan (and related Companion Loan, if applicable) is serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard (or, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, if mutually agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, the Master servicer will determine, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and subject to the consent (or deemed consent) of the Special Servicer to the extent such action is a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision), whether to (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) grant or waive its right to exercise such rights, provided that (i) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a Major Decision, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an applicable Excluded Loan, the Special Servicer has obtained the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Holder (or after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to an applicable Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing Holder), which consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Directing Holder of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver or exercise of such rights together with such other information reasonably required by the Directing Holder and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that (A) represents at least 2.0% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (B) represents one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans (considering any other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted as a single Mortgage Loan) based on Stated Principal Balance and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (C) has a Stated Principal Balance that is more than $20,000,000, (D) has a loan-to-value ratio that is equal to or greater than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt) and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (E) has a debt service coverage ratio that is less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan, if applicable) and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, or (F)

 -201-

is a Mortgage Loan as to which the related Serviced Companion Loan represents one of the 10 largest mortgage loans in the related other securitization (provided that the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to reasonably rely upon the written notification provided by the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or certificate administrator of such other securitization as to whether such Serviced Companion Loan is one of the 10 largest mortgage loans in such other securitization, or if no timely response is received, permitted to rely upon the most recent CREFC® Reports from such other securitization), a Rating Agency Confirmation is received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan related to the Controlling Class Representative (regardless of whether a an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related rating agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(b), the Special Servicer shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related 17g-5 information provider) in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Rating Agency Confirmation described in the immediately preceding paragraph or in Section 3.08(a) shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor; provided that if the Mortgage Loan documents are silent as to who bears the costs of obtaining any such Rating Agency Confirmation, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to make the related Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. Unless determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance such costs not collected from the related Mortgagor shall be advanced as a Property Protection Advance.

If any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee provided that certain conditions are satisfied and there is no lender discretion with respect to the satisfaction of such conditions, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, with respect to all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), shall determine whether conditions to further encumbrance have been satisfied (provided that there is no lender discretion with respect to the satisfaction of such conditions), or (2) the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for which there is no mortgagee discretion in determining whether conditions are satisfied, shall make such determination with respect to whether such conditions have been satisfied.

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in this Section 3.08(b) that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision (except with regard to the proviso in the definition of “Special Servicer Decision” or “Major Decision”, as applicable) with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request, or if otherwise provided herein, the Special Servicer shall process such request and the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the related Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision. If such action with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is not a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall process the related request and shall have no obligation to obtain the consent of or consult with the Special Servicer, Directing Holder or Operating Advisor.

(c)          Nothing in this Section 3.08 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

(d)          Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08(a) and (b) and/or Section 3.18, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, in connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.08. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide copies of any final waivers (except with respect to provision of any such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider, exclusive of any Privileged Information) it effects pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) to each other and to the 17g-5 Information Provider with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.25) and, with respect to a Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement.

(e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, makes a determination under Sections 3.08(a) or 3.08(b) hereof that the applicable conditions in the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents, as applicable, with respect to assumptions or encumbrances permitted without the consent of the mortgagee have been satisfied, the applicable assumptions and transfers may be subject to an assumption or other fee, unless such fees are otherwise prohibited pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents; provided that any such fee not provided for in the Mortgage Loan documents does not constitute a “significant” change in yield pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(e)(2).

Section 3.09      Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans and Companion Loans. (a)  Upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents related to a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide written notice to the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, with a copy of such notice to the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall, subject to

 -203-

subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, Section 3.24, subject to the Directing Holders’ and the Risk Retention Consultation Party’s respective rights pursuant to Section 6.08, and any Companion Holder or mezzanine lender’s rights under the related Co-Lender Agreement (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, on behalf of the holders of the beneficial interest of the related Companion Loan) or this Agreement, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing any such Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and related Companion Loan, if any, as come into and continue in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer the applicable shall not be required to make a Property Protection Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such property unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner after reimbursement to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Property Protection Advance, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has not determined that such Property Protection Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided that, in each case, such cost or expense would not, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make an offer on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment taking into account the factors described in Section 3.16(b) and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence, all such offers to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any related defaulted Companion Loan, whether for purposes of making an offer at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to such property by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance.

(b)          The Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.09 unless either:

(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 Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust (to the extent not allocable to the related Companion Loan) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur.

 -204-

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09 and Section 3.24, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders), the Retained Interest Owner and/or any related Companion Holder, would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee) the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an Environmental Assessment of such Mortgaged Property performed by an Independent Person who regularly conducts Environmental Assessments and performed within six (6) months prior to any such acquisition of title or other action, that:

(i)           such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders) and the Retained Interest Owner, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance with such laws, and

(ii)          there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently effective federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such hazardous materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Companion Holders) and the Retained Interest Owner, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

The cost of any such Environmental Assessment shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance and the cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance, unless it is a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance (in which case it shall be an expense of the Trust and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be withdrawn in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement by the Master Servicer from the Collection Account, including from the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account (such withdrawal to be made from amounts on deposit therein that are otherwise payable on or allocable to such Serviced Whole Loan)); and if any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Special Servicer shall, except with respect to any Companion Loan and any Environmental Assessment ordered after such Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, perform such additional environmental testing at the expense of the Trust as it deems necessary and prudent to determine whether the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence have been satisfied. With respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage

 -205-

Loans, the Master Servicer and, with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall review and be familiar with the terms and conditions relating to enforcing claims and shall monitor the dates by which any claim or action must be taken (including delivering any notices to the insurer and using reasonable efforts to perform any actions required under such policy) under each environmental insurance policy in effect and obtained on behalf of the mortgagee to receive the maximum proceeds available under such policy for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests).

(d)          If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above establishes that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) above of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan, and (ii) there has been no breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement for which the Mortgage Loan Seller could be required to repurchase such Defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 6 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized, with the consent of the Directing Holder and after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), with the consent of the Directing Holder at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, provided that, if such Mortgage Loan has a then outstanding principal balance of greater than $1,000,000, then prior to the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and ((A) prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (B) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) the Directing Holder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in writing of its intention to so release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have posted such notice of the Special Servicer’s intention to so release such Mortgaged Property to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and (iii) in addition to the prior written consent of the Directing Holder as required above, the Holders of Voting Rights evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have consented or have been deemed to have consented to such release within thirty (30) days of the Certificate Administrator’s posting such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website (failure to respond by the end of such 30-day period being deemed consent of the Holders of the Certificates or the Retained Interest Owner). To the extent any fee charged by any Rating Agency in connection with rendering such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is to be an expense of the Trust; provided that the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

(e)          The Special Servicer shall provide written reports and a copy of any Environmental Assessments in electronic format to the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider monthly regarding

 -206-

any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, or defaulted Companion Loan as to which the environmental testing contemplated in subsection (c) above has revealed that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied, in each case until the earlier to occur of satisfaction of both such conditions, repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan by the Mortgage Loan Seller or release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.

(f)           The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting to the Internal Revenue Service and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan that is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the Internal Revenue Service and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via Form 1099A or Form 1099C (or any successor form), all forgiveness of indebtedness and abandonment and foreclosure to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

(g)          The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of the maintenance of an action to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of the Mortgage Loan (and if applicable, the related Companion Loan) permit such an action.

(h)          The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by one of its Servicing Officers, of each Final Recovery Determination in respect of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or defaulted Companion Loan or any REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery Determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate promptly delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) and the Master Servicer and in no event later than the next succeeding P&I Advance Determination Date.

Section 3.10      Trustee and Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. (a)  Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, will promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian and request delivery of the related Mortgage File.

Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as release can reasonably be accomplished if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer notifies the Custodian of an exigency) of receipt of such notice and request, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be;

 -207-

provided that in the case of the payment in full of a Serviced Companion Loan or its related Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File shall not be released by the Custodian unless the related Serviced Whole Loan, is paid in full. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.

(b)          From time to time as is appropriate for servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (and any related Companion Loan), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit E signed by a Servicing Officer. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File or any document therein to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be.

(a)  As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Loan (other than the portion of any REO Loan related to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan) (including Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan constituting a “specially serviced mortgage loan” under any related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement). As to each Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed.

The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Revenues allocable as interest on each REO Loan, and as otherwise provided by Section 3.05(a). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of any Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan out of that portion of related payments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and REO Revenues (in the case of an REO Loan) allocable as recoveries of interest, to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a). Except as set forth in the next two sentences, the third paragraph of this Section 3.11(a), Section 6.03, Section 6.05 and Section 7.01(c), the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part (except in connection with a transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s duties and obligations hereunder to a successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof).

In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) any charges for processing Mortgagor requests, beneficiary statements or demands, fees in connection with defeasance, if any, and other customary charges, and amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, in each case only to the extent actually paid by the related Mortgagor and shall not be required to deposit such amounts in the Collection Account or the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b), respectively. In addition, the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, and only to the extent actually paid by the related Mortgagor. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d), (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the Collection Account or the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the Master Servicer Remittance Date related to the current Distribution Date), (iii) interest or other income earned on deposits in the Servicing Account which are not required by applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan to be paid to the Mortgagor, and (iv) the difference, if positive, between Prepayment Interest Excess and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls collected on the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, during the related Collection Period to the extent not required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own

 -210-

funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the Collection Account and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

With respect to any of the preceding fees as to which both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion of such fee; provided that (A) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the portion of any such fee due to the other and (B) to the extent either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion in any such fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge its respective portion of such fee shall not have any right to share in any part of the other party’s portion of such fee. If the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer may, at its option, assign or pledge to any third party or retain for itself the Transferable Servicing Interest; provided, however, that in the event of any resignation or termination of such Master Servicer, all or any portion of the Transferable Servicing Interest may be reduced by the Trustee to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to obtain a qualified successor master servicer that meets the requirements of Section 6.05 and who requires market-rate servicing compensation that accrues at a per annum rate in excess of the Servicing Retained Fee Rate, and any such assignment of the Transferable Servicing Interest shall, by its terms be expressly subject to the terms of this Agreement and such reduction. The Master Servicer shall pay the Transferable Servicing Interest to the holder of the Transferable Servicing Interest at such time and to the extent the Master Servicer is entitled to receive payment of its Servicing Fees hereunder, notwithstanding any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer hereunder (subject to reduction pursuant to the preceding sentence).

(b)          As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Loan relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property). As to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Loans, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a

 -211-

loan-by-loan basis, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.05(a). The right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

(c)          Additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) 100% of all Excess Modification Fees related to modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans that involve one or more Major Decision or Special Servicer Decisions, (ii) 100% of all assumption application fees received on any Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan (to the extent not prohibited by the related Co-Lender Agreement), only for which the Special Servicer is processing the underlying assumption related transaction, (iii) 100% of all assumption fees and other related fees received on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, (iv) 100% of waiver, consent and earnout fees, pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or certain other similar fees paid by the related Mortgagor and (v) 50% of all Excess Modification Fees and assumption, and consent fees pursuant to Section 3.08 or Section 3.18 and 50% of all earnout fees, review fees and similar fees received with respect to all Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan to the extent not prohibited by the related Co-Lender Agreement) (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans that involve one or more Major Decisions or Special Servicer Decisions, shall be promptly paid to the Special Servicer by the Master Servicer (or directly from the related Mortgagor) to the extent such fees are paid by the Mortgagor and shall not be required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d) and (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the applicable REO Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the Master Servicer Remittance Date related to such Distribution Date). In addition, each Specific Servicer shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, and only to the extent actually paid by the related Mortgagor. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Corrected Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan; provided, however, that after receipt by the Special Servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Loan in an amount equal to $25,000, any Workout Fees in excess of such amount shall be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount; provided, further, however, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout calculated at the Workout Fee Rate is less than $25,000, then the Special Servicer shall be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) to be $25,000. The Workout Fee shall be reduced (but not below zero) pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to each collection on such Corrected Loan from which fee would otherwise be payable until an amount equal to

 -212-

such Excess Modification Fee Amount has been deducted in full. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans or any related Companion Loan that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. If a Special Servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had determined to grant a forbearance or cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three consecutive timely Periodic Payments. The successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The Special Servicer will not be entitled to receive any Workout Fees after termination for cause. A Liquidation Fee will be payable with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) as to which the Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds subject to the exceptions set forth in the definition of Liquidation Fee (such Liquidation Fee to be paid out of such Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds). If, however, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds are received with respect to any Corrected Loan and the Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest on such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to proceeds on any Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Companion Loan, the Liquidation Fee, Workout Fee and Special Servicing Fees, if any, will be computed as provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement or to the extent such Co-Lender Agreement is silent or refers to this Agreement or indicates such fees are paid in accordance with this Agreement, as provided herein as though such Companion Loan were a Mortgage Loan. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer will also be entitled to additional fees in the form of Penalty Charges. The Special Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts, other than management fees in respect of REO Properties, due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not expressly payable directly out of the Collection Account or the applicable REO Account, and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

(d)          In determining the compensation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate

 -213-

Penalty Charges collected on any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Companion Loan since the prior Distribution Date shall be applied (in such order) to reimburse (i) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee for interest on Advances on such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, if applicable (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee for interest on the Property Protection Advances made by any such party with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement) due on such Distribution Date, (ii) the Trust for all interest on Advances previously paid to the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) hereof (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related trust for all interest on Property Protection Advances reimbursed by such trust to any party under the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, which resulted in an additional expense for the Trust, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, if applicable and (iii) the Trust for all additional expenses of the Trust (other than Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees), including without limitation, inspections by the Special Servicer and all unpaid Advances incurred since the Closing Date with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Penalty Charges (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, which shall be payable as additional servicing compensation under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement) remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Master Servicer, if and to the extent accrued while such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan was a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and to the Special Servicer, if and to the extent accrued on such Mortgage Loan during the period such Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan. Any Penalty Charges paid or payable as additional servicing compensation to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be distributed between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, on a pro rata basis, based on the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s respective entitlements to such compensation described in the previous sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Penalty Charges with respect to any Companion Loan will be allocated pursuant to the applicable Co-Lender Agreement after payment of all related Advances and interest thereon and additional expenses of the Trust in accordance with this Section 3.11(d).

If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Special Servicer shall service and administer such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and any related REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced REO Property and shall be entitled to all rights and compensation earned with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan as Special Servicer of such Serviced Whole Loan. With respect to a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, no other special servicer will be entitled to any such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan is still a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan on the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Non-Serviced Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan as if the Special Servicer were being terminated as the Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and the Non-Serviced Special Servicer were replacing the Special Servicer as the successor Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

 -214-

If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan is being specially serviced on the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation for the period during which it acted as Special Servicer with respect to such Whole Loan, including its share of any liquidation or workout fees and any additional servicing compensation as well as all surviving indemnity and other rights in respect of such special servicing role under this Agreement.

(e)          With respect to each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days following the Determination Date, and the Master Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received, to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and on the same day as the Master Servicer is required to deliver the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package for such Distribution Date, an electronic report (which may include HTML, word or excel compatible format, clean and searchable PDF format or such other format as mutually agreeable between the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer) that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date; provided that no such report shall be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.

(f)           The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Mortgagor, any property manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Mortgage Loan and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.11; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.

(g)          Pursuant to the CREFC^® License Agreement, CREFC^® shall be paid (according to the payment instructions set forth on Exhibit JJ hereto or such other payment instructions as CREFC^® may provide to the Master Servicer in writing at least two Business Days prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date) the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee on a monthly basis. The Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and, to the extent sufficient funds are on deposit therein, pay the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee to CREFC^® in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(xv) on a monthly basis, from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

material change in the Mortgaged Property since such physical inspection, the Master Servicer will not be required to perform or cause to be performed, such physical inspection; provided, further, that if any scheduled payment becomes more than sixty (60) days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and annually thereafter for so long as such Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The cost of such inspection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust, and, to the extent not paid by the related Mortgagor, reimbursed first from Penalty Charges actually received from the related Mortgagor and then from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii), provided that, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, such cost shall be payable, subject to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement (i) with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pro rata and pari passu, from the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in accordance with their respective Stated Principal Balances, or (ii) with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, first, from the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan and then, from the AB Mortgage Loan (and any Pari Passu Companion Loans, on a pro rata basis) (provided that, with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan, the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise modify the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement pursuant to which any amounts collected with respect to the related Whole Loan are allocated to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related Pari Passu Companion Loan and the AB Subordinate Companion Loan), in each case, prior to being payable out of general collections. The Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of each such inspection detailing the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection and specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy in the Mortgaged Property that the preparer of such report has knowledge of and deems material, (ii) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, (iii) any adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, and that the preparer of such report deems material, (iv) any visible material waste committed on the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection and (v) photographs of each inspected Mortgaged Property.

The Master Servicer may concurrently with the delivery of the related CREFC® Schedule AL File, deliver any related

 -219-

Schedule AL Additional File in EDGAR-Compatible Format to the Certificate Administrator. The CREFC® Schedule AL File and the Schedule AL Additional File shall each be a single file. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be required to combine multiple CREFC® Schedule AL Files or Schedule AL Additional Files, unless, solely with respect to the Master Servicer, multiple Sub-Servicers prepare and submit such CREFC® Schedule AL Files or Schedule AL Additional Files to the Master Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to review, redact, reconcile, edit or verify the content, completeness or accuracy of the information contained in any CREFC® Schedule AL File or any Schedule AL Additional File.

The Certificate Administrator may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(d). In the case of information or reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.12(d), to the extent that such information or reports are, in turn, based on information or reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) and to the extent that such reports are to be prepared and delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c), the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to provide such information or reports to the Certificate Administrator until it has received the requisite information or reports from the Special Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing the reports required by Section 3.12(d) caused by the Special Servicer’s failure to timely provide any information or report required under Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement.

(f)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by this Section 3.12 shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.12 to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may disclose any such information or any additional information to any Person so long as such disclosure is consistent with applicable law and the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).

(g)          Unless otherwise specifically stated herein, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required to deliver any statement, report or information under any provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may satisfy such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such statement, report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or information in a commonly used electronic format or (z) except with respect to information to be provided to the Certificate Administrator or any Companion Holder and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder, making such statement, report or information available on the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s Internet website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver any required statements, reports or other information to the Certificate Administrator in an electronic format mutually agreeable to the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may physically deliver a paper copy of any such statement, report or information as a temporary measure due to system problems, however, copies in electronic format shall follow upon the correction of such system problems.

(a)  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide or cause to be provided to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall afford access to the Mortgage Loan Seller and to any Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner that is a federally insured financial institution, the OCC, the FDIC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any such Certificateholder, and the Retained Interest Owner and to each Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate, access to any documentation or information regarding the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a portion of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan, and the Trust within its control which may be required by applicable law. At the election of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, such access may be afforded to such Person identified above by the delivery of copies of information as requested by such Person and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to require payment (other than from the Directing Holder and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator on its own behalf or on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner, as applicable) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by it in making such copies. Such access shall (except as described in the preceding sentence) be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian.

The failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.13 as a result of a confidentiality obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.13. In connection with providing information pursuant to this Section 3.13, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer may each (i) affix a reasonable disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto); (ii) affix to any information provided by it a reasonable

 -221-

statement regarding securities law restrictions on such information and/or condition access to information on (x) the execution of a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit X, or (y) execution of a “click-through” confidentiality agreement if such information is being provided through the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s website; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and/or (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan if the disclosure of such items is prohibited by applicable law or the provisions of any related Mortgage Loan documents or would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by it pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard, that such disclosure would violate applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans or the Mortgaged Properties, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or the Trust or otherwise materially harm the Trust or the Trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may refrain from disclosing information that it reasonably determines would prejudice the interest of the Certificateholders with respect to a workout or exercise of remedies as to any particular Mortgage Loan.

Upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner (or with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan, the holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan) that is a Privileged Person identified to the Master Servicer’s reasonable satisfaction, the Master Servicer may provide (or forward electronically) at the expense of such Certificateholder, the Retained Interest Owner or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, copies of any appraisals, operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements (in each case, solely relating to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan, if requested by the holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan) obtained by the Master Servicer; provided that, in connection with such request, the Master Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person will keep such information confidential and shall use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder, the Retained Interest Owner or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, may have under the Trust.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless required by applicable law or court order, no Certificateholder or beneficial owner shall be given access to, or be provided copies of, the Mortgage Files or Diligence Files.

 -226-

Information with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loans (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans)) available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

In the case of the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, upon delivery of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B hereto, such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be entitled to access all information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee may each rely on (i) an investor certification in the form of Exhibit P-1B hereto from the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder and (ii) an investor certification in the form of Exhibit P-1D hereto from the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to one or more Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s).

With respect to any Excluded Information sent for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall mark or label such information as “Excluded Information” prior to delivery to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall segregate on the Certificate Administrator’s Website such Excluded Information (and, if possible, on loan-by-loan basis) from information relating to other Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively assume that the Directing Holder and all beneficial owners of the Certificates of the Controlling Class are not Excluded Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, has received a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E from the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. None of the Master Servicer, the Special

 -227-

Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any communication to the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder or disclosure of any information relating to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan (including any related Excluded Information delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website) if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, did not receive prior written notice that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Loan and/or, with respect to any related Excluded Information posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, such information was not delivered to the Certificate Administrator in accordance with Section 3.30(a).

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B that it is not or is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. To the extent the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such Excluded Information, such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any such Excluded Information to (A) the related Borrower Party, (B) any related Excluded Controlling Class Holder, (C) any employees or personnel of such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder or any of its Affiliate involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (D) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above.

controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above. For the avoidance of doubt, any file or report contained in the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package (CREFC^® IRP) (other than the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File relating to any such applicable Excluded Loan) shall be considered information that is aggregated with information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level.

Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to (i) indicate the source of such information and affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its discretion and/or (ii) require that the recipient of such information (A) except for the Depositor and the Rating Agencies, enter into (x) an Investor Certification, (y) a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit X or (z) a “click-through” confidentiality agreement if such information is being provided through the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s website, and (B) acknowledge that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may contemporaneously provide such information to any other Disclosure Party. In addition, to the extent access to such information is provided via the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s website, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may require registration and the acceptance of a reasonable and customary disclaimer and/or an additional or alternative agreement as to the confidential nature of such information. In connection with providing access to or copies of the information described in this Section 3.13(f) to current or prospective Certificateholders or the Retained Interest Owner the form of confidentiality agreement used by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be: (i) in the case of a Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner, an Investor Certification executed by the requesting Person indicating that such Person is a Holder of Certificates or the Retained Interest Owner and will keep such information confidential (except that such Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner may provide such information (x) to its auditors, legal counsel and regulators and (y) to any other Person that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Certificate or interest therein (provided that such other Person confirms in writing such ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and agrees to keep such information confidential)); and (ii) in the case of a prospective purchaser of Certificates or interests therein or an investment advisor related thereto, an Investor Certification indicating that such Person is a prospective purchaser of a Certificate or an interest therein or an investment advisor related thereto and is requesting the information for use in evaluating a possible investment in Certificates and will otherwise keep such information confidential with no further dissemination (except that such Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner may provide such information to its auditors, legal counsel and regulators). In the case of a licensed or registered investment advisor acting on behalf of a current or prospective Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner, the Investor Certification shall be executed and delivered by both the investment advisor and such current or prospective Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for its dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement or by others in violation of the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be

 -233-

responsible or have any liability for the completeness or accuracy of the information delivered, produced or otherwise made available pursuant to this Section 3.13 unless such information was produced by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be.

(g)          The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be permitted (but not obligated) to orally communicate with the Rating Agencies regarding any of the Mortgage Loan documents and any other matter related to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgaged Properties, the related Mortgagors or any other matters relating to this Agreement or related Co-Lender Agreement; provided that such party summarizes the information provided to the Rating Agencies in such communication in writing and provides the 17g-5 Information Provider with such written summary in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.13(c) the same day such communication takes place; provided, further that the summary of such oral communications shall not identify which Rating Agency the communication was with. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such written summary on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.13(c).

(h)          The Special Servicer, subject to the limitations on delivery of Privileged Communications, shall deliver to the Operating Advisor such reports and other information produced or otherwise available to the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party or Certificateholders generally, requested by the Operating Advisor in support of the performance of its obligations under this Agreement in electronic format.

(i)           None of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 3.13 or otherwise in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict oral or written communications, or providing information, between the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and any Rating Agency or NRSRO, on the other hand, with regard to (i) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s review of the ratings it assigns to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, (ii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s approval of the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a commercial mortgage master, special or primary servicer, or (iii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s evaluation of the Master Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, servicing operations in general; provided, that the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not provide any information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans, to any Rating Agency or NRSRO in connection with such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency or NRSRO unless (x) Mortgagor, property and other deal specific identifiers are redacted; (y) such information has already been provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider and has been uploaded on to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website; or (z) the Rating Agency confirms in writing that it does not intend to use such information in undertaking credit rating surveillance with respect to the Certificates; provided, however, that the Rating Agencies may use information delivered under this clause (z) for any purpose to the extent it is publicly available (unless the availability results from a breach of this Agreement or any other confidentiality agreement to which such Rating Agency is subject) or comprised of information collected by the applicable Rating Agency from the 17g-5 Information

 -234-

Provider’s Website (or another 17g-5 information provider’s website that they have access to) other than pursuant to this Section 3.13(i).

(j)           The costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 3.13 by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and any other party hereto shall not be additional expenses of the Trust, but shall be borne by the applicable party hereto.

Section 3.14      Title to REO Property; REO Account. (a)  If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired (and thus becomes REO Property), the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued in the name of the Trust where permitted by applicable law or regulation and consistent with customary servicing procedures, and otherwise, in the name of the Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion Holders, in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan. REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.14. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless such Special Servicer either (i) applies for an extension of time no later than sixty (60) days prior to the close of the third calendar year in which it acquired ownership (or the period provided in the then applicable REMIC Provisions) and such extension is granted or is not denied (an “REO Extension”) by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property or (ii) obtains for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which acquisition occurred will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur. If the Special Servicer is granted or not denied the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

(b)          The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more REO Accounts, held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner and, if applicable, on behalf of any related Companion Holder(s), as applicable, as their interest shall appear, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), for the retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property. The REO Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the applicable REO Account, within one (1) Business Day after receipt of properly identified funds, all REO Revenues, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of an REO Property. Funds in the REO Account may be

 -235-

invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the Master Servicer of the location of the applicable REO Account when first established and of the new location of the applicable REO Account prior to any change thereof.

(c)          The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the applicable REO Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management, insuring, leasing, maintenance and disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in the applicable REO Account relating to such REO Property. On the later of the date that is (x) on or prior to each Determination Date or (y) 2 Business Days after such amounts are received and properly identified and determined to be available (or with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on the Business Day preceding each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date), the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the applicable REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer, which shall deposit into the Collection Account (or the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, as applicable), the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each REO Property during the most recently ended Collection Period, net of (i) any withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence and (ii) Net Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the applicable REO Account; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may retain in such REO Account, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, such portion of such balance as may be necessary to maintain a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, leasing, management and tenant improvements and other related expenses for the related REO Property. In addition, on the later of the date that is (x) on or prior to each Determination Date or (y) 2 Business Days after such amounts are received and properly identified and determined to be available (or with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on the Business Day preceding each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date), the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with a written accounting of amounts remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, as applicable, on such date. The Master Servicer shall apply all such amounts as instructed by the Special Servicer on the day the Master Servicer receives the written accounting as provided in the previous sentence.

(d)          The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records, on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits to, and withdrawals from, the applicable REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(b) or Section 3.14(c).

Section 3.15      Management of REO Property. (a)  If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, consent, protect, operate and lease such REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and the related Companion Holders, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) solely for the purpose of its timely disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust or any Serviced Companion Noteholder of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or result in an Adverse REMIC Event. Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection therewith as are in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner (and, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s)) and the Trustee (as holder of the

 -236-

Lower-Tier Regular Interests) all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loan, as the case may be) (as determined by the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.15. Subject to this Section 3.15, the Special Servicer may allow the Trust or any commercial mortgage securitization that holds any Serviced Companion Loan to earn “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(d) of the Code if it determines that earning such income is in the best interests of Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner and, if applicable, any related Companion Holder(s) on a net after-tax basis as compared with net leasing such REO Property or operating such REO Property on a different basis. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day following receipt of such properly identified funds) in the applicable REO Account all revenues received by it with respect to each REO Property and the related REO Loan, and shall withdraw from the applicable REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing and maintenance of such REO Property, including, without limitation:

(i)           all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;

(ii)          all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;

(iii)         any ground rents in respect of such REO Property, if applicable; and

(iv)         all costs and expenses necessary to maintain and lease such REO Property.

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the applicable REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer (subject to receiving notice from the Special Servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and (in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, and prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Holder) such advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances.

(b)          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:

(i)           permit the Trust to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

(ii)          permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;

 -237-

(iii)         authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv)         Directly Operate, or allow any other Person, other than an Independent Contractor, to Directly Operate, any REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after its acquisition date;

unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held for the benefit of the Trust, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

(c)          The Special Servicer shall contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property within ninety (90) days of the acquisition date thereof, provided that:

(i)           the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm’s length;

(ii)          the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be an expense of the Trust) shall be reasonable and customary in light of the nature and locality of the Mortgaged Property;

(iii)         any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including, without limitation, those listed in subsection (a) hereof, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;

(iv)         none of the provisions of this Section 3.15(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(v)          the Special Servicer shall be obligated to manage and supervise such Independent Contractor in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

 -238-

(d)       When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO Property in accordance with Sections 3.15(a) and 3.15(b).

Section 3.16      Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. (a) (i)  Within thirty (30) days after a Defaulted Mortgage Loan has become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) an Appraisal and within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Appraisal shall determine the fair value of such Defaulted Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if the Special Servicer is then in the process of obtaining an Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall make its fair value determination as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days) after its receipt of such an Appraisal. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, adjust its fair value determination based upon changed circumstances, new information and other relevant factors, in each instance in accordance with a review of such circumstances and new information in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer in writing of the initial fair value determination and any adjustment to its fair value determination.

(ii)          If any Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan subject to a Co-Lender Agreement is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, then the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall promptly notify in writing the other, any related Companion Holder and any related mezzanine lender, as applicable, of any events requiring notice under the Co-Lender Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Thereafter, any related Companion Holder and related mezzanine lender, as applicable, will, notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, have the option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan and cure defaults relating thereto as and to the extent set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(iii)         If any Mortgage Loan not subject to a Co-Lender Agreement becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, or if the related Companion Holder or related mezzanine lender, as applicable, for any such Mortgage Loan subject to a Co-Lender Agreement has not previously exercised the option to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each Defaulted Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner and the holder of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in such manner as will be reasonably likely to maximize the value of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan on a net present value basis, if and when the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of

 -239-

the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner or, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and any holder of a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan holder constituted a single lender, taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any related Companion Loan) and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder. In the case of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, under certain limited circumstances permitted under the related Co-Lender Agreement, to the extent that such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Special Servicer for the Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer will be entitled to sell (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, (i) with the consent of the Directing Holder, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) after consulting with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a)) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner, the Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, any related Companion Holder and (other than in respect of any applicable Excluded Loan) the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Party not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, in which case the Special Servicer is required to accept the highest offer received from any person for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor, purchase such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at such Purchase Price.

(iv)         (A)   In the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as to which a default has occurred and is continuing, in the absence of any offer at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the Special Servicer for such price), the Special Servicer shall, subject to subclause (B) below, accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. If the highest offeror is an Interested Person, the Trustee, subject to any additional conditions in an applicable Co-Lender Agreement, (based upon updated Appraisals ordered by the Special Servicer and received by the Trustee (or ordered by the Trustee if the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates is an Interested Person)) shall determine the fair price; provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person will constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) if the offer is less than the applicable Purchase Price, at least two other offers are received from independent third parties, and any such determination by the Trustee shall be binding upon all parties. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any Appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a

 -240-

Property Protection Advance by the Master Servicer. If the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be paid in advance of any such determination, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.

(B)           The Special Servicer will not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, in consultation with the Directing Holder (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists), the Risk Retention Consultation Party subject to the limitations on consultation set forth in Section 6.08(a) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder), in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Co-Lender Agreement), that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, and any holder of a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan holder constituted a single lender, taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any related Companion Loan) and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder. In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Co-Lender Agreement), that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, and any holder of a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan holder constituted a single lender, taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any related Companion Loan) and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its

 -241-

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 to sell all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any fair value determination, to the extent required to do so pursuant to this Section 3.16, on the basis of anything other than the related Appraisal.

(v)          Unless and until any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is sold pursuant to this Section 3.16(a), the Special Servicer shall pursue such other resolution strategies with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, workout and foreclosure, as the Special Servicer may deem appropriate, consistent with the Asset Status Report and the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions.

(b)          (i)  (A)  The Special Servicer may purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such purchase shall be a purchase of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan). The Special Servicer may also offer to sell to any Person any REO Property (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such sale shall be a sale of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan), if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such a sale would be in the best economic interest of the Trust and the related Companion Holders. The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Master Servicer, each Companion Holder, the Certificate Administrator and, in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan and prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the Purchase Price and its intention to (i) purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor or (ii) sell any REO Property, in which case the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for any REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer, an Affiliate of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, or an employee of either of them may act as broker in connection with the sale of any REO Property and may retain from the proceeds of such sale a brokerage commission that does not exceed the commission that would have been earned by an independent broker pursuant to a brokerage agreement entered into at arm’s length.

(B)           In the absence of any such offer as set forth in subclause (A) above, the Special Servicer shall, subject to subclause (C) below, accept the highest offer for such REO Property received from any Person that is determined to be a fair price (1) by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, or (2) by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person; provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person will constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) if the offer is less than the applicable Purchase Price ,at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any REO Property pursuant hereto.

 -242-

(C)           The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans) (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.

(D)       In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any REO Property, the Trustee shall obtain and may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee in connection with making such determination. The reasonable cost of such Independent appraiser or other Independent expert shall be an expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser. The reasonable fees and costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person. In determining whether any offer constitutes a fair price for any REO Property, the Special Servicer or the Trustee (or, if applicable, such appraiser) shall take into account, and any appraiser or other expert in real estate matters shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the physical condition of such REO Property, the state of the local economy and the Trust’s obligation to comply with REMIC Provisions.

(ii)          Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the related Companion Holders, in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. A sale of any REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trust (except that any contract of sale and assignment and

 -243-

conveyance documents may contain customary warranties of title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust) and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor nor the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust or any Certificateholder, the Retained Interest Owner or related Companion Holder (if applicable) with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(c)          Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO Property shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions or authoritative interpretations thereof made or issued subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

(d)          With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement, if the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan becomes a defaulted loan, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan that has become a Defaulted Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.16, then the Special Servicer shall sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Special Servicer in writing. To the extent a determination is required to be made hereunder as to whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Serviced Whole Loan, such determination shall be made by the Trustee if the offeror is an Interested Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer will not be permitted to sell the related Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) if it becomes a defaulted Whole Loan without the written consent of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (provided that such consent is not required if the holder of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is the Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Serviced Whole Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that are material to the sale price of the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Party) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. The holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or its representative) will be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of such Whole Loan; however, the related Mortgagor and its agents and Affiliates shall not be permitted to submit an offer at such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion Loan may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this paragraph with respect to the related Whole Loan. 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 offering Interested Person purchaser) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or

 -244-

commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. 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 fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be paid in advance of any such determination by the Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person.

(e)          (i)   Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan for each applicable Serviced AB Whole Loan and will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as applicable. Such right of the holder of the Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan shall be given priority over any provision described in this Section 3.16 as and to the extent set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement. If the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property is purchased by the holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, repurchased by the Mortgage Loan Seller or otherwise ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan will no longer be subject to this Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, any sale of a Serviced AB Whole Loan that is a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16 (other than in connection with the purchase of the applicable Serviced AB Whole Loan by the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) shall not include any related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan. As a result, any reference in this Section 3.16 to the sale, or determination of fair value, of a Serviced AB Whole Loan that is a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than in connection with the purchase of the applicable Serviced AB Whole Loan by the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) shall be deemed to exclude any related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan.

(ii)          Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, any mezzanine lender will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, as applicable, and cure defaults relating thereto, as and to the extent set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(f)           Unless otherwise provided in a Co-Lender Agreement the sale of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16 will be on a servicing released basis.

(g)          In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has the right to purchase any Companion Loan on behalf of the Trust pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall exercise such right.

Section 3.17      Additional Obligations of Master Servicer and Special Servicer. (a)  The Master Servicer shall deliver all Compensating Interest Payments (other than the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on each

 -245-

Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall deliver the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the Companion Paying Agent for deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.

(b)          The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to each Companion Holder any reports or notices required to be delivered to such Companion Holder pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(c)          Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans, deposited in the Collection Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) immediately, as an accommodation may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one month collection period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (provided that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Holder), and any election to so defer or not to defer shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent collection period (subject, again, to the same sole option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other collections). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the one month collection period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans, to be received until the end of such collection period before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof); provided, however, that if, at any time the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a one-month collection period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider fifteen (15) days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, and thereafter shall deliver such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider as soon as practical thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required by the preceding sentence shall in no way affect the

 -246-

Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement as described in this Section 3.17(c). Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of any principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v).

The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this section or to comply with the terms of this section and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made; provided, however, that the fact that a decision to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some classes of Certificateholders or the Retained Interest Owner to the detriment of other Classes of Certificateholders shall not, with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard and/or with respect to the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders or any contractual obligation hereunder. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that its ability to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances has been compromised, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date (deemed first from principal and then interest). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more collection periods shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, agreement to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders or the Retained Interest Owner. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders or the Retained Interest Owner a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise) and accrued interest thereon. In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner or any of the Companion Holders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this section or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election.

With respect to any modification or amendment of any Co-Lender Agreement related to a Serviced Whole Loan (to the extent received), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as applicable, shall provide to the 17g-5 Information Provider a copy of any such modification or amendment, which the 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

(d)      With respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), if the related loan documents permit the lender to (but do not require the lender to), at its option, prior

 -247-

to an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), apply amounts held in any reserve account as a prepayment or hold such amounts in a reserve account, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may not apply such amounts as a prepayment, and will instead continue to hold such amounts in the applicable reserve account, unless not applying those amounts as a prepayment would be a violation of the Servicing Standard. Such amount may be used, if permitted under the loan documents, to defease the loan, or may be used to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), or for other purpose consistent with the Servicing Standard and the loan documents, upon a subsequent default.

Section 3.18      Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents. (a)  Except as set forth in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), this Section 3.18(a), Section 3.18(d), Section 3.18(h), Section 3.18(i) and Section 6.08, but subject to any other conditions set forth thereunder, (including, without limitation, the Special Servicer’s consent rights pursuant to this subsection (a) with respect to any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a Major Decision) (i) the Special Servicer will be responsible for processing waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to (a) any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (b) any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder, to advise or consult with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to, or to consent to, a modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement) with respect to which the matter involves a Special Servicer Decision (other than the items listed in clause (iv)(A) and clause (iv)(B) of Special Servicer Decisions, which the Master Servicer will process, subject to special servicer consent or deemed consent as provided in this Agreement) or a Major Decision, and (ii) the Master Servicer will be responsible for processing waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and does not involve a Special Servicer Decision (other than the items listed in clause (iv)(A) and clause (iv)(B) of Special Servicer Decisions, which the Master Servicer will process, subject to Special Servicer consent or deemed consent as provided in this Agreement) or a Major Decision. Further, the Master Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan (that constitutes a Major Decision) without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer (it being understood that the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is recommending approval of such request) will in accordance with the Servicing Standard provide the Special Servicer with notice of any request for such modification, waiver or amendment, the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis, and all information in the Master Servicer’s possession that may be reasonably requested by the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent); provided that such consent shall be deemed given (unless earlier objected to by the Special Servicer) within ten (10) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s receipt from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis with respect to such modification, waiver or amendment and all information in the Master Servicer’s possession reasonably requested by the Special Servicer in order to make an informed decision with respect to such modification, waiver or amendment; and provided, further, that no extension entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18(a) shall extend the Maturity Date beyond the earlier of (i) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the

 -248-

remaining term of the Ground Lease, ten (10) years, prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate. If such extension would extend the Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan for more than twelve (12) months from and after the original Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan and such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, prior to any such extension, the Special Servicer shall (1) provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, each related Other Master Servicer, each related Other Trustee, the Directing Holder ((i) prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if not required or permitted to be paid by the Mortgagor, to be paid as an expense of the Trust in accordance with Section 3.11(d)) that such extension would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (2) subject to the Servicing Standard, (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an applicable Excluded Loan, obtain the consent of the Directing Holder, (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, consult with the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08 and (C) consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder to advise the Master Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, and subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to this subsection (a) if any such modification, waiver or amendment constitutes a Major Decision, the Master Servicer, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, without the consent of or consultation with the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder, may modify or amend the terms of any Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan in order to (i) cure any ambiguity or mistake therein or (ii) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or correct any error; provided that, if the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, such modification or amendment would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

In addition, subject to the next sentence, with respect to non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer, prior to taking any action with respect to any Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Major Decision) and prior to taking any action with respect to a Special Servicer Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Special Servicer Decision), shall refer any request with respect to such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall process the request directly or, if mutually agreed to by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall (subject to the consent (or deemed consent) of the Special Servicer) process such request. If the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall (subject to the consent (or deemed consent) of the Special Servicer) process a request with respect to a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision and the Master Servicer is recommending approval of such request, the Master

 -249-

Servicer shall prepare and submit its written analysis and recommendation to the Special Servicer with all information in the possession of the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant its consent, and in all cases the Special Servicer shall be entitled (subject to any applicable consultation rights of the Operating Advisor or any applicable consent or consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative or any applicable consultation rights of any related Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative (as applicable)) to approve or disapprove any modification, waiver, amendment or other action that constitutes a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision. In addition, the Master Servicer will be required to provide the Special Servicer with any notice that it receives relating to a default by the Mortgagor under a ground lease where the collateral for the Mortgage Loan is the ground lease, and the Special Servicer will determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether to cure any borrower defaults relating to ground leases.

Subject to Section 6.08, applicable law and the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for one or more other parcels of real property at any time the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable unless (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, obtains Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and delivers such Rating Agency Confirmation to the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if permitted by the applicable Rating Agency) and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25)) and (ii) such substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may obtain and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor if not prohibited by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and if so prohibited, at the expense of the Trust) with respect thereto).

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in this Section 3.18(a) that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision (without regard to the first proviso in the definition of “Special Servicer Decision” or “Major Decision”, as applicable) with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request, the Special Servicer shall process such request and the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the related Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision.

(b)          If the Special Servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the forgiveness or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution of collateral pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan or otherwise, the release of

 -250-

collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to which a payment default or other material default has occurred or a payment default or other material default is, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Special Servicer), is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the Trust and, if applicable, the Companion Holders, as the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then the Special Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, subject to (x) the provisions of this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (y) with respect to any Major Decision, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than any applicable Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the approval of the Directing Holder (or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Controlling Class Representative) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party as provided in Section 6.08; provided that with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, the approval of the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan, will be required to the extent set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement and the Directing Holder shall have no consent or consultation rights and the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no consultation rights regarding the matter; and (z) additionally, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder or with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with mezzanine debt, the rights of the related mezzanine lender, if any, to advise or consult with the Special Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, as applicable; provided that in the case of any release or substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance), the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such release or substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan related to the Controlling Class Representative (regardless of whether a an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the related Mortgage Loan documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related Mortgagor of) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Mortgage Loan, then such calculation shall, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions,

 -251-

exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any, as determined by an appropriate third party.

The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to the extent possible to cause each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to fully amortize prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and shall not agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment would (1) extend the maturity date of any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to a date occurring later than the earlier of five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (b) if such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date occurring twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease and (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Holder and (B) to the extent such modification, waiver or amendment constitutes a Major Decision, after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in each case, other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is an applicable Excluded Loan), ten (10) years prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate (including any options to extend such leasehold estate exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor), or (2) provide for the deferral of interest unless interest accrues on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan generally at the related Mortgage Rate.

(c)          Any provision of this Section 3.18 to the contrary notwithstanding, except when a Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan is in default or default with respect thereto is reasonably foreseeable, no fee described in this Section 3.18 shall be collected by any Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer from a Mortgagor (or on behalf of the Mortgagor) in conjunction with any consent or any modification, waiver or amendment of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable (unless the amount thereof is specified in the related Mortgage Note) if the collection of such fee would cause such consent, modification, waiver or amendment to be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Note within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

(d)          To the extent consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the first sentence of Section 3.18(a), and Section 6.08), the Master Servicer (as provided in Section 3.08(a) and 3.08(b) and subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to Section 3.20(a) if any such waiver, modification or amendment constitutes a Major Decision) or the Special Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable only if it provides the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to be paid out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor or such other Person to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the payment of any Yield Maintenance Charge or the requirement that any prepayment of a Mortgage Loan be made on a Due Date, or if not made on a Due Date, be

If the Directing Holder affirmatively disapproves of such summary in writing, then within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such disapproval, the Special Servicer shall revise the summary and deliver such new summary to the Directing Holder until the Directing Holder approves such draft summary; provided, however, that if the Directing Holder has not approved of the draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the initial draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report, then the most recent draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report delivered by the Special Servicer prior to such 20th Business Day shall be deemed to be the final summary of the Final Asset Status Report; provided, further, however, that if at any time the Special Servicer determines that any affirmative disapproval of such draft summary by the Directing Holder is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner pursuant to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) notwithstanding such disapproval. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver (but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days following its completion) a copy of each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor. The Special Servicer shall prepare a summary of any Final Asset Status Report related to any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the related holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period, which Final Asset Status Report has been approved or deemed approved by the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement (to the extent such Co-Lender Agreement requires such approval or deemed approval), and deliver in electronic format notice of such final Asset Status Report and the summary of such Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b).

(g)          No provision of this Section 3.19 shall require the Special Servicer to take or to refrain from taking any action because of any proposal, objection or comment by the Operating Advisor or a recommendation of the Operating Advisor.

Section 3.20      Sub-Servicing Agreements. (a)  The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations hereunder; provided that the Sub-Servicing Agreement as amended or

 -263-

modified: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the Trustee or any successor master servicer shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of such party under such agreement, or, alternatively, may act in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.20(g) hereof); (iii) provides that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and the related Companion Holder (if applicable) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) shall be a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of such party thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, as applicable, any successor master servicer or any Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner (or the related Companion Holder, if applicable) shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty; provided, however, that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements may only be terminated by the Trustee or its designees as contemplated by Section 3.20(g) hereof and in such additional manner and by such other Persons as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to modify any Mortgage Loan unless and to the extent the Master Servicer is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan; (vii) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, such Sub-Servicer, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, is not a Prohibited Party and (viii) provides that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable Grace Period) if the Sub-Servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the Master Servicer under Article XI or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement or to the master servicer under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to, (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in the Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required for any party to this Agreement to perform its obligations under Article XI or under the Exchange Act reporting items required under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to or (C) to perform other covenants and obligations set forth in such Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. Any successor master servicer hereunder shall, upon becoming successor master servicer be assigned and may assume any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the predecessor Master Servicer (subject to Section 3.20(g) hereof). In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer may but need not provide that the obligations of the Sub-Servicer thereunder may terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Sub-Servicing Agreement may provide (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) that the

 -264-

Sub-Servicer will continue to make all Advances and calculations and prepare all reports required under the Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and continue to collect its Primary Servicing Fees as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred and to render such incidental services with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it, in each case promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, in such event, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as may be provided (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor (and the Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor) in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except that the Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.

(b)          Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of the related Mortgage Loans or the compliance with its obligations under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.

(c)           As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner or the Trust) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the requirements of Article XI hereof. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it (other than any Sub-Servicer retained by it at the request of the Mortgage Loan Seller, which is only removable for cause) at any time it considers removal to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner in accordance with the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

 -265-

(d)          In the event the Trustee or its designee becomes successor master servicer and assumes the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the Companion Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.

(e)           Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement and this Section 3.20, except to the extent provided in Article XI with respect to the obligations of any Sub-Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, holders of the Companion Loans serviced hereunder, the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner for the performance of its 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 it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible, and the Master Servicer shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer thereunder as and when due from its own funds. In no event shall the Trust bear any termination fee required to be paid to any Sub-Servicer as a result of such Sub-Servicer’s termination under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(f)           The Trustee, upon the request of the Master Servicer, shall furnish to any Sub-Servicer any documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Sub-Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(g)          Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that, in the event the Trustee or any other Person becomes successor master servicer, the Trustee or such successor master servicer shall have the right to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with or without cause and without a fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision in this Agreement, the Trustee and any successor master servicer shall assume each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement and (i) the Initial Sub-Servicer’s rights and obligations under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the Master Servicer’s servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its provisions; (ii) any successor master servicer, including, without limitation, the Trustee (if it assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically assume and agree to the then-current Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement without further action upon becoming the successor master servicer and (iii) this Agreement may not be modified in any manner which would increase the obligations or limit the rights of the Initial Sub-Servicer hereunder and/or under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Initial Sub-Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(h)          With respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall, upon request (such request to be made reasonably in advance as appropriate to the circumstances surrounding such request) of the related Sub-Servicer, reasonably cooperate in delivering reports and information, including remittance information, and affording access to information to the related Sub-Servicer that

 -266-

would be required to be delivered or afforded, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

(i)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Sub-Servicer shall be permitted under any Sub-Servicing Agreement to make material servicing decisions, such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing remedies under the Mortgage Loan documents without the consent of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer’s consent may also be required for certain other servicing decisions as provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.21      Interest Reserve Account. (a)  On the Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in each February and in any January that occurs in a year that is not a leap year (in each case, unless the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator, in respect of the Actual/360 Mortgage Loans, shall deposit into the Interest Reserve Account, an amount equal to one (1) day’s interest on the Stated Principal Balance of the Actual/360 Mortgage Loans as of the Due Date occurring in the month preceding the month in which Master Servicer Remittance Date occurs at the related Net Mortgage Rate, to the extent a full Periodic Payment or P&I Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive February and January, “Withheld Amounts”).

(b)          On each Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw, from the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January (if applicable) and February, if any, and deposit such amount into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

Section 3.22      Directing Holder and Operating Advisor Contact with Master Servicer and Special Servicer.

Within a reasonable time upon request from the Directing Holder or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and no more often than on a monthly basis, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer via telephone available to verbally answer questions from (a) ((i) prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) the Directing Holder and (b) the Operating Advisor (with respect to the Special Servicer only), regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.

Section 3.23      Controlling Class Certificateholders and the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Party; Certain Rights and Powers of Directing Holder and Risk Retention Consultation Party. (a)  Each Controlling Class Certificateholder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of the transfer of any Certificate of a Controlling Class by delivering a notice to each such Person substantially in the form of Exhibit MM attached hereto, the selection of a Controlling Class Representative or the resignation or removal thereof. The Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating

 -267-

Advisor when such Certificateholder is appointed Controlling Class Representative and when it is removed or resigns. To the extent there is only one Controlling Class Certificateholder and it is also the Special Servicer, it shall be the Controlling Class Representative.

On the Closing Date, the initial Controlling Class Representative shall execute a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1G to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Controlling Class Representative, any successor Controlling Class Representative shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1G to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Controlling Class Representative. On the Closing Date, the initial Risk Retention Consultation Party shall execute a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1H to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Risk Retention Consultation Party, any successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1H to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(b)          Once a Controlling Class Representative has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) and the Retained Interest Owner shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Controlling Class Certificateholders entitled to appoint the Controlling Class Representative, by Certificate Balance, or such Controlling Class Representative shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Controlling Class Certificateholder, in writing, of the resignation of such Controlling Class Representative or the selection of a new Controlling Class Representative. Upon the resignation of a Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall request the Controlling Class Certificateholders to select a new Controlling Class Representative. In the event that (i) the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor receives written notice from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders that a Controlling Class Representative is no longer designated and (ii) the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or a representative thereof) becomes the Controlling Class Representative pursuant to the proviso of the definition of “Controlling Class Representative”, then the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or its representative) shall provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor that it is the new Controlling Class Representative; provided that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to rely on the written notification provided by the purported Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class without independently verifying that such Controlling Class Certificateholder actually owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class. Additionally, once a Risk Retention Consultation Party has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) and the Retained Interest Owner shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Retained Interest Owner shall have

 -268-

notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, in writing, of the selection of a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(c)           Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Controlling Class Certificateholder and the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(d)          In the event that no Directing Holder has been appointed or identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator and no such entity has been identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Directing Holder is identified, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Directing Holder as the case may be.

(e)           Upon request, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative, a list of each Controlling Class Certificateholder as reflected in the Certificate Registrar, including names and addresses at the expense of the Trust. In addition to the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of the selection of a new Controlling Class Representative or Risk Retention Consultation Party or the existence of a new Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) RREF III-D AIV RR, LLC, shall be the initial Controlling Class Representative and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until a Consultation Termination Event occurs and is continuing, and (b) GSMC shall be the initial Risk Retention Consultation Party and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the preceding sentence with respect to the identity of the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(f)           If to the extent the Certificate Administrator determines that a Class of Book-Entry Certificates is the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Certificateholders of such Class (through the Depository) of the Class becoming the Controlling Class.

(g)          Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates or the Retained Interest Owner; (ii) the Directing Holder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Directing Holder does not have any liability or duties to the Certificateholders other than the Controlling Class; (iv) the Directing Holder may take actions that favor interests

 -269-

of the Holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the other Certificateholders; and (v) the Directing Holder shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder, to the extent the Controlling Class Representative is the Directing Holder) for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Holder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Directing Holder for having so acted.

Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Risk Retention Consultation Party may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Risk Retention Consultation Party may act solely in the interest of the Retained Interest Owner; (iii) the Risk Retention Consultation Party does not have any liability or duties to the Certificateholders; (iv) the Risk Retention Consultation Party may take actions that favor interests of the Certificateholders of one or more classes or the Retained Interest Owner over the interests of the Certificateholders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to the Retained Interest Owner) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Risk Retention Consultation Party or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Risk Retention Consultation Party for having so acted.

(h)           All requirements of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to provide notices, reports, statements or other information (including the access to information on a website) to the Directing Holder contained in this Agreement shall also apply to each Companion Holder with respect to information relating to the related Serviced AB Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection (h) shall in any way eliminate the obligation to deliver any information required to be delivered under the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(i)            Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity and contact information of the Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party and any AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder.

(j)            With respect to a Serviced Whole Loan and any approval and consent rights in this Agreement with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder shall exercise such rights in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(k)           The Certificate Registrar shall determine which Class of Control Eligible Certificates is the then-current Controlling Class within two (2) Business Days of a request from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, or any Certificateholder and provide such information to the requesting party.

(l)            At any time when the Class F Certificates are the Controlling Class Certificates, the holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class Certificates (by

 -270-

Certificate Balance) may waive its right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in this Agreement, by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (which shall be via e-mail to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor. Any such waiver will remain effective with respect to such holder and the Class F Certificates until such time as that Certificateholder has (i) sold a majority of the Class F Certificates (by Certificate Balance) to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) certified to the depositor, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the operating advisor that (a) the Transferor retains no direct or indirect voting rights with respect to the Class F Certificates that it does not own, (b) there is no voting agreement between the Transferee and the Transferor and (c) the Transferor retains no direct or indirect economic interest in the Class F Certificates. Following any such transfer, the successor holder of more than 50% of the Class F Certificateholders (by Certificate Balance), if Class F Certificates are the Controlling Class Certificates, will again have the rights of the Controlling Class Representative as described in this prospectus supplement without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Certificateholder. Such successor Certificateholder will also have the right to irrevocably waive its right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative or to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative. No such successor Certificateholder described above in this paragraph will have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to its acquisition of a majority of the Class F Certificates that had not also become a Corrected Loan prior to such acquisition until such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Loan.

Whenever such an “opt-out” by a Controlling Class Certificateholder is in effect, a Consultation Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred and continue; and the rights of the holder of more than 50% of the Class F Certificates (by Certificate Balance), if they are the Controlling Class Certificates, to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative and the rights of the Controlling Class Representative will not be operative (notwithstanding whether a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event is or would otherwise then be in effect).

(m)          Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) include on its statement made available pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement the identity of the new Controlling Class and (ii) provide to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor notice of such event and the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder (the cost of obtaining such information from DTC being an expense of the Trust). The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days of the existence or cessation of (i) any Control Termination Event, (ii) any Operating Advisor Consultation Event or (iii) any Consultation Termination Event. Upon the Certificate Administrator’s determination that a Control Termination Event, an Operating Advisor Consultation Event or a Consultation Termination Event has occurred or is terminated, the Certificate Administrator shall, within ten (10) Business Days, post a “special notice” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to this provision.

 -271-

In the event that a Control Termination Event has occurred due to a reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class in accordance with Section 4.05(a) hereof) to less than 25% of the Original Certificate Balance thereof, such special notice shall state “A Control Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates to less than 25% of the Original Certificate Balance thereof.”

In the event that a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the irrevocable waiver by a Class F Certificateholder who has become the Controlling Class Certificateholder of its right to appoint a Controlling Class Representative or to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder, such special notice shall state “A Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the irrevocable waiver by the Controlling Class Certificateholder of its rights as Controlling Class Certificateholder.”

In the event that a Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of each Class of Control Eligible Certificates below 25% of its Original Certificate Balance, in each case without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts, such special notice shall state: “A Consultation Termination Event has occurred because no Class of Control Eligible Certificates exists where such Class’s aggregate Certificate Balance is at least equal to 25% of the Original Certificate Balance of that Class, in each case without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

In the event of any transfer of a Class F Certificate, and upon notice to the Certificate Administrator in the form of Exhibit MM that results in a termination of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event, such “special notice” shall state: “A Consultation Termination Event or a Control Termination Event has been terminated and is no longer in effect due to a transfer of a majority interest of the Controlling Class Certificates to an unaffiliated third party which has terminated any waiver by the prior Holder.”

The Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not have any consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an applicable Excluded Loan as to either such Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Retained Interest Owner. In respect of the servicing of any such Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Excluded Loan.

Section 3.24      Co-Lender Agreements. (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Serviced Whole Loan being serviced under this Agreement and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt is subject to the terms and provisions of the related Co-Lender Agreement and each agrees to service each such Serviced Whole Loan and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement, including, without limitation, effecting distributions and allocating reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement and, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement, the related Co-Lender Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer agrees not to take any action

 -272-

with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt or the related Mortgaged Property without the prior consent of the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, to the extent that the related Co-Lender Agreement provides that such Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, is required or permitted to consent to such action. Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Companion Holder and each mezzanine lender or its respective designee has the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement to the extent provided for therein. All parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that any AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder will have the right to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan and shall be entitled to exercise all approval rights of the Directing Holder regarding any Asset Status Report in respect of the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, without regard to the occurrence of any Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event with respect to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan, to the extent provided for herein and in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(b)          Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for any cost, claim or damage that arises from any entitlement in favor of a Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender under the related Co-Lender Agreement or conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of such Co-Lender Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of any Co-Lender Agreement that may otherwise require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to abide by any instruction or direction of a Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to comply with any instruction or direction the compliance with which requires an Advance that constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. In no event shall any expense arising from compliance with a Co-Lender Agreement constitute an expense to be borne by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for its own account without reimbursement. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be required to consult with or obtain the consent of any Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender unless such Companion Holder or mezzanine lender has delivered notice of its identity and contact information to each of the parties to this Agreement (upon which notice each of the parties to this Agreement shall be conclusively entitled to rely). As of the Closing Date, the contact information for the Companion Holders and mezzanine lenders is as set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, as applicable, or as otherwise set forth in Section 13.05. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, be required to consult with or obtain the consent of a new Controlling Class Representative or a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or consult with a new Risk Retention Consultation Party unless the Certificate Administrator has delivered notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as required under Section 3.23(e) or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, have actual knowledge of the identity and contact information of a new Controlling Class Representative or a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(c)          No direction or disapproval of the Companion Holders or any mezzanine lender shall (a) require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC,

 -273-

(b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions or (c) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

(d)          With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative or the Risk Retention Consultation Party hereunder may have to consult with respect to any action or other matter with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan, to the extent the related Co-Lender Agreement provides that such right is exercisable by the related Companion Holder or is exercisable in conjunction with any related Companion Holder, the Controlling Class Representative or the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be permitted to exercise such right or, to the extent provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement, shall be required to exercise such right in conjunction with the related Companion Holder, as applicable (except to the extent that the Controlling Class Representative or the Risk Retention Consultation Party is the related Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder). Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall consult, seek the approval or obtain the consent of the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan to the extent required under related Co-Lender Agreement and shall not take such actions requiring consent of the related Companion Holder without such consent. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver reports and notices to the related Companion Holder as required under the Co-Lender Agreement.

(e)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the related Companion Holder, within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to consult with any related Companion Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such related Companion Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such related Companion Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such related Companion Holder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder or the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such related Companion Holder, whether or not such related Companion Holder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, such Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the related Companion Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, such Special Servicer may make any Major Decision or take

 -274-

any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if such Special Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and the related Companion Holder. In no event shall the Special Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the related Companion Holder.

(f)           In addition to the consent and consultation rights of the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Companion Holder shall have the right to attend (in person or telephonically, in the discretion of the Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be) annual meetings with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Whole Loan are discussed.

(g)          With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement such that the monthly remittance to the holder of the related Companion Loan is required earlier than 2 Business Days after receipt by the Master Servicer of properly identified and available funds constituting the related Periodic Payment without the consent of the Master Servicer.

Section 3.25     Rating Agency Confirmation. (a)  Notwithstanding the terms of any related Mortgage Loan documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement requires Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “RAC Requesting Party”) required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then such RAC Requesting Party shall be required to confirm (through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again. The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement as a “RAC No-Response Scenario.” Once the RAC Requesting Party has sent a request for a Rating Agency Confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider, such RAC Requesting Party may, but shall not be obligated to, send such request directly to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the procedure and timeframes set forth in Section 13.10(d).

If there is no response to such Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such second request in a RAC No-Response Scenario or if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation or with respect to any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency

 -275-

Confirmation shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, confirms its original determination (made prior to making such request) that taking the action with respect to which it requested the Rating Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) it has been appointed and currently serves as a master servicer or special servicer on a transaction-level basis on a commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction currently rated by Moody’s that currently has securities outstanding and for which Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement as the sole or a material factor in such rating action or any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in a commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if Moody’s is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the special servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency or (iii)  the replacement master servicer or special servicer either (a) has a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, ranking of at least “MOR CS3” by Morningstar (if ranked by Morningstar) or (b) if not ranked by Morningstar, is currently acting as a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, on a deal or transaction-level basis for all or a significant portion of the related mortgage loans in other commercial mortgage-backed securities transactions rated by any NRSRO and Morningstar has not, with respect to any such other commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction, qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings on one or more classes of such commercial mortgage-backed securities publicly citing servicing concerns of the applicable replacement as the sole or material factor in such rating action, if Morningstar is the non-responding Rating Agency.

Any Rating Agency Confirmation request made by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing, which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such written Rating Agency Confirmation request shall be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

Promptly following the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.25(a) following any requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation being deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider of the action taken for the particular item at such time, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

 -276-

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.25, for purposes of the provisions of any Mortgage Loan document relating to defeasance (including without limitation the type of collateral acceptable for use as defeasance collateral) or release or substitution of any collateral, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the Mortgage Loan documents for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would have been permitted to waive obtaining or to make a determination with respect to such Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to Section 3.25(a) shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist).

(c)           For all other matters or actions not specifically discussed in Section 3.25(a) above, the applicable RAC Requesting Party shall deliver Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

(d)          With respect to any Companion Loan as to which there exists Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the related Mortgage Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Property (including, but not limited to, the replacement of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or a sub-servicer) (the “Relevant Action”) requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action pursuant to this Agreement, then, except as set forth below in this paragraph, such action will also require delivery of a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action from each Companion Loan Rating Agency. Each Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation shall be sought by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Controlling Class Representative or applicable Certificateholders, as applicable, depending on whichever such party is seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action. The requirement to obtain a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities will be subject to, and will be deemed not to apply on or deemed to be waived on, as applicable, the same terms and conditions applicable to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations, as set forth in this Agreement; provided, that the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Controlling Class Representative or applicable Certificateholders, as applicable, depending on which is seeking the subject Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, shall forward to one or more of its counterpart (i.e., the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or certificate administrator, if and as applicable), the Rule 17g-5 information provider for the Other Securitization Trust, or such other party or parties (as are agreed to by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Controlling Class Representative or applicable Certificateholders, as applicable, and the applicable parties for the related Other Securitization Trust), at the expense of the Other Securitization Trust to the extent not borne by the related Mortgagor, and in such format as the sender and recipient may reasonably agree, (i) the request for such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation at least two (2) Business Days before it is sent to the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency, (ii) all materials forwarded to the Depositor under this Agreement for posting on the Depositor’s 17g-5 Website in connection with seeking the Rating Agency Confirmation(s) for the applicable Relevant Action at approximately the same time that such materials are forwarded to the Depositor, and (iii) any other materials that the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency may reasonably request in connection with such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation promptly following such request.

 -277-

Section 3.26     The Operating Advisor. (a)  The Operating Advisor shall promptly review (i) the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan when it is a Specially Serviced Loan (as provided in Section 3.19(d), Section 3.26 and Section 6.08) and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to Major Decisions relating to the Mortgage Loans when they are not a Specially Serviced Loans, (ii) all information made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (iii) each Asset Status Report (during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer.

(b)          The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” received from the Special Servicer or Directing Holder in connection with the Directing Holder’s exercise of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with any Asset Status Report) or otherwise in connection with this transaction, except under the circumstances described in Section 3.26(f) and subject to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement related to Privileged Information, the Operating Advisor agrees that it shall use information received from the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder.

(c)           (i)  Based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report (during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), Final Asset Status Report and other reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall (if, at an time during the prior calendar year, (i) any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) was a Specially Serviced Loan or (ii) there existed any Operating Advisor Consultation Event) deliver to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly post such report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) within one hundred-twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year, an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit V (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Operating Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, provisions herein relating to Privileged Information; provided, however, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), that (a) sets forth whether the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer is operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under this Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to Major Decisions on non-Specially Serviced Loans) during the prior calendar year on a platform-level basis, and (b) identifies (1) which, if any, standards the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the Special Servicer has failed to comply and (2) any deviations from the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of any Specially

 -278-

Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than with respect to any REO Property related to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan); provided, however, that in the event the Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to the Special Servicer that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report. In preparing any Operating Advisor Annual Report, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial. Only as used in connection with the Operating Advisor Annual Report, the term “platform-level basis” refers to the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties with respect to the pool of Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to Major Decisions on non-Specially Serviced Loans) under this Agreement taking into account the Special Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the Operating Advisor of any Assessment of Compliance Report, Attestation Report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report (during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), Final Asset Status Report and other information delivered to the operating advisor by the Special Servicer (other than any communications between the Directing Holder and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, no Operating Advisor Annual Report will be permitted to include an assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance in respect of such Serviced AB Whole Loan until after the occurrence and during the continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Co-Lender Agreement. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.26(d) hereof, each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions). Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)); provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to its delivery to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider. The Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to the Operating Advisor Annual Report that are provided by the Special Servicer.

(ii)           In the event the Operating Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Operating Advisor Annual Report is limited or prohibited due to the failure of a party hereto to timely deliver notice of action and information required to be delivered to the Operating Advisor or because such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Operating Advisor shall set forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from such limitations or prohibitions. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any such reliance hereunder. In the event a lack of access to

 -279-

Privileged Information limits or prohibits the Operating Advisor from performing its duties under this Agreement, the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from its lack of access to Privileged Information.

(d)          (i)  After the calculation has been finalized (and if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing prior to the utilization) by the Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (ii) net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(iv), the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Communications), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.

(ii)          In connection with this Section 3.26(d), in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amount (as calculated by the Special Servicer) or net present value or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the Operating Advisor and applicable Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Special Servicer and provide any information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is in the Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer. In the event the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement and the Certificate Administrator shall examine the calculations and supporting materials provided by the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer and determine which calculation is to apply (and shall provide prompt written notice of such determination to the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer). In making such determination, the Certificate Administrator may hire an independent third-party to assist with any such calculation at the expense of the Trust and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such third party’s determination (provided such third party has been selected with reasonable care by the Certificate Administrator).

(e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor review will be limited to an after-the-action review of the reports and material described above (together with any additional information and material reviewed by the operating advisor), and, therefore, it shall have no specific involvement with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, workouts,

 -280-

modifications, consents, waivers, insurance policies, mortgagor substitutions, lease changes or other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement.

(f)           The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” confidential and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) the Directing Holder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and any applicable Excluded Loan), disclose such information to any other Person (including any Certificateholders which are not then included in the Control Eligible Certificates, other than the Controlling Class Representative), other than (i) to the extent expressly set forth herein, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information, (ii) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception or (iii) where necessary to support specific findings or conclusions concerning allegations of deviations from the Servicing Standard (A) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report or (B) in connection with a recommendation by the Operating Advisor to replace the Special Servicer. Each party to this Agreement that receives information that is appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” from the Operating Advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor.

(g)          Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Operating Advisor herein (including without limitation in respect of Privileged Information), the Operating Advisor shall respond to Inquiries proposed by Privileged Persons from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07(a).

(h)          As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee on each Remittance Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including the Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans but not any Companion Loan) or each REO Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan, the Operating Advisor Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Operating Advisor Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on the related Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Operating Advisor Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05 of this Agreement.

The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 6.04(a) and/or 6.04(b) hereof, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a). Each successor Operating Advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.

 -281-

In addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Major Decision for which the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations hereunder. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement, but only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor. When the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall have no obligations or consultation rights with respect to: (i) any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Property or (ii) with respect to any AB Mortgage Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of both an AB Control Appraisal Period and a Control Termination Event; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall not be entitled to an Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

(i)            Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Non-Reduced Interests evidencing not less than 15% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Interests requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor with a proposed successor Operating Advisor provided that the proposed successor Operating Advisor is an Eligible Operating Advisor) and (ii) payment by such holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders, and the Retained Interest Owner and the Operating Advisor of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and concurrently by mail. Upon the written direction of holders of more than 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Interests that exercise their right to vote (provided that holders of at least 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Interests exercise their right to vote), the Trustee will terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including accrued and unpaid compensation) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination)) by written notice to the Operating Advisor, and the proposed successor operating advisor will be appointed.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder, Retained Interest Owner and Beneficial Owner of Certificates may access any notices posted on the “special notices” and on the “Risk Retention” tabs on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and each Certificateholder, Retained Interest Owner and Beneficial Owner of Certificates may register to receive email notifications when

 -282-

such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Certificate Administrator will be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner for the reasonable expenses of posting notices of such requests.

(j)            After the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of holders of Voting Rights representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Classes of Certificates or the Retained Interest Balance of the Retained Interest), the Trustee shall promptly terminate the Operating Advisor for cause and appoint a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor; provided, that no such termination shall be effective until a successor Operating Advisor has been appointed and has assumed all of the obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement. No such termination shall terminate, change, reduce or otherwise modify the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor that accrued prior to such termination, including the rights to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement, and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination). The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Operating Advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. If the Trustee is unable to find a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. Upon any termination of the Operating Advisor and appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee will, as soon as possible, be required to give written notice of the termination and appointment to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Depositor, the Controlling Class Representative (for any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan and only if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred), the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Retained Interest Owner and the Certificateholders.

(k)           The holders of Voting Rights representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights affected by any Operating Advisor Termination Event hereunder may waive such Operating Advisor Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the certificate administrator of the occurrence of such Operating Advisor Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, such Operating Advisor Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust.

(l)            Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the identity of any replacement Operating Advisor appointed pursuant to this Section 3.26; provided, further, that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Controlling Class Representative’s receipt of the request for consent and, if granted or deemed granted, such consent cannot thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.

 -283-

(m)         The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if applicable, if the Operating Advisor has secured a replacement that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. No such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 3.26.

(n)          In the event the Operating Advisor resigns or is otherwise terminated for any reason it shall remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees and reimbursement of accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Expenses pursuant to Section 3.26(h) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification provided hereunder.

(o)          The parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner by their acceptance of their Certificates or Retained Interest shall be deemed to have agreed, that (i) subject to Section 6.04, the Operating Advisor shall have no liability to any Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner for any actions taken or for refraining from taking any actions under this Agreement, (ii) the Operating Advisor shall act solely as a contracting party to the extent set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the Operating Advisor shall have no (A) fiduciary duty, or (B) other duty except with respect to its specific obligations under this Agreement, and shall have no duty to any particular Class of Certificates or particular Certificateholders or the Retained Interest Owner, and (iv) the Operating Advisor does not constitute an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

(p)          The Operating Advisor may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors to the extent such agents or subcontractors satisfy clauses (c), (d) and (f) of the definition of “Eligible Operating Advisor” and so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.26. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Operating Advisor shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any actions required to be performed hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Operating Advisor alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(q)          For the avoidance of doubt, while the Operating Advisor may serve in a similar capacity with respect to other securitizations that involve the same parties or Mortgagors involved in this securitization, any experience or knowledge gained by the Operating Advisor from such other engagements may not be imputed to the Operating Advisor or its employees for this transaction; provided, however, the Operating Advisor may consider such experience or

 -284-

knowledge as pertinent information for discussion with the Special Servicer during its periodic meetings.

Section 3.27     Companion Paying Agent. (a)  With respect to each of the Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer shall be the Companion Paying Agent hereunder. The Companion Paying Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.

(b)          No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Companion Paying Agent from liability for its negligent failure to act, bad faith or its own willful misfeasance; provided, however, that the duties and obligations of the Companion Paying Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. The Companion Paying Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Companion Paying Agent. In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Companion Paying Agent, the Companion Paying Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth and correctness of the statements or conclusions expressed therein, upon any resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instrument furnished to the Companion Paying Agent by any Person and which on their face do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement.

(c)           In the case of each of the Serviced Companion Loans, upon the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, as the Companion Paying Agent, shall be deemed simultaneously to resign or be removed.

(d)          This Section 3.27 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Companion Paying Agent, as regards to rights accrued prior to such resignation or removal.

Section 3.28      Companion Register.

The Companion Paying Agent shall maintain a register (the “Companion Register”) with respect to each Serviced Companion Loan on which it will record the names and address of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Companion Holders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to it by each Companion Holder. The initial Companion Holders, along with their respective name and address, are listed on Exhibit S hereto. In the event a Companion Holder transfers a Companion Loan without notice to the Companion Paying Agent, the Companion Paying Agent shall have no liability for any misdirected payment in such Companion Loan and shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment.

The Companion Paying Agent shall promptly provide the name and address of the Companion Holder to any party hereto or any successor Companion Holder upon written request and any such Person may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information. The Companion Paying Agent shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such name and address.

For the avoidance of doubt, any notices or information required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement by any party hereto to a Companion Holder with respect to a

 -285-

Companion Loan that has been included in an Other Securitization shall be provided to the Other Servicer (which, unless required by the related Intercreditor Agreement to be sent to additional parties, shall be satisfied by the delivery to the “master servicer” under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.29     Certain Matters Relating to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans. (a)  In the event that any of the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer shall be replaced in accordance with the terms of the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall acknowledge its successor as the successor to the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be.

(b)          If any of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer receives notice from a Rating Agency that the Master Servicer is no longer an “approved” master servicer by any of the Rating Agencies rating the Certificates, then the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify each Non-Serviced Master Servicer of the same.

(c)           In connection with the securitization of each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, (in each case, only while it is a Serviced Companion Loan), upon the request of (and at the expense of) the related Serviced Companion Noteholder (or its designee), each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Serviced Companion Noteholder in attempting to cause the related Mortgagor to provide information relating to such Whole Loan and the related notes, and that such holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, for inclusion in any disclosure document(s) relating to such Other Securitization.

(d)          In connection with the sale of any Non-Serviced Whole Loan by any Non-Serviced Special Servicer, upon receipt of any notices or materials required to be furnished by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer to the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement, the Special Servicer shall, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, forward such materials to the Controlling Class Representative for its consent, if such consent is required. The Special Servicer may (with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) waive any timing or delivery requirements related to such sale to the extent set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(e)          With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Controlling Class Representative, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, or the Operating Advisor, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, shall be entitled to exercise any consultation rights held by the holder of such Mortgage Loan in its capacity as a “Non-Controlling Note Holder” (or similar term identified in the related Co-Lender Agreement) under the related Co-Lender Agreement.

 -286-

(f)           With respect to the servicing of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, this Agreement is subject to the related Co-Lender Agreement and incorporates by reference all provisions required to be included herein pursuant to such Co-Lender Agreement.

(g)          On the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, (i) the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release transfer the related Mortgage File (other than the note(s) designating the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan), the original of which shall be retained by the Custodian) for the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan to the related Non-Serviced Trustee under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and retain a copy of such Mortgage File and (ii) the Master Servicer shall, upon receipt of notice from the Mortgage Loan Seller that the applicable Servicing Shift Lead Note has been or is being securitized on the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, transfer (and cooperate with reasonable requests in connection with such transfer of) the Servicing File for the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan, and any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and originals of items specified in clauses (9), (12), (14) and (18) of the definition of Mortgage File for the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer on the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date.

Upon receipt of notice from the Mortgage Loan Seller that the applicable Servicing Shift Lead Note has been or is being securitized on the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Master Servicer shall provide the Custodian with a Request for Release of the Mortgage File on the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date and transfer (and cooperate with reasonable requests in connection with such transfer of) the Servicing File to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer identified to it pursuant to the related notice from the related Mortgage Loan Seller on the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date.

Promptly upon any change in the identity of the Master Servicer, the successor master servicer shall deliver notice of such change (together with the contact information of such successor Master Servicer) to each Non-Serviced Trustee, Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator, Non-Serviced Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Operating Advisor.

Section 3.30      Delivery of Excluded Information to the Certificate Administrator. (a) Any Excluded Information that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor identifies and delivers to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator via e-mail (or such other electronic means as is mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled “Excluded Information” followed by the applicable loan name and loan file to cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com. For the avoidance of doubt, any information that is not appropriately labeled and delivered in accordance with this Section 3.30(a) shall not be separately posted as Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and any information appropriately labeled and delivered to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 3.30(a) shall be posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website under the “Excluded Information” section, as provided under Section 3.13. When so posted, the Excluded Controlling Class Holders shall be prohibited from the access of Excluded Information with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loans on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans). None of

 -287-

the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligations to separately label and deliver any Excluded Information in accordance with this Section 3.30(a) until such party has received written notice with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan in the form of Exhibit P-1E to this Agreement. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Directing Holder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving, requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Holder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available to such Excluded Controlling Class Holder on the Certificate Administrator’s Website on account of it constituting Excluded Information, such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be permitted to reasonably request and obtain such information in accordance with Section 3.13(a).

(b)          Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Directing Holder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving, requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Holder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available to such Excluded Controlling Class Holder via the Certificate Administrator’s Website on account of it constituting Excluded Information, such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be permitted to reasonably request and obtain such information in accordance with Section 4.02(f) of this Agreement.

Section 3.31     Litigation Control. (a)  The Special Servicer (with respect to each Mortgage Loan and Serviced Whole Loan) shall in accordance with the Servicing Standard, direct, manage, prosecute and/or defend any action brought by a Mortgagor, guarantor, other obligor on the related Note or any Affiliates thereof (each a “Borrower-Related Party”) against the Trust (including, without limitation, any action in which both the Trust and the Master Servicer are named), and/or the Special Servicer, and represent the interests of the Trust in any litigation relating to a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the related Mortgaged Property or other collateral securing such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, or the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents (“Loan-Related Litigation”). In the event that the Master Servicer is named in any Loan-Related Litigation but the Special Servicer is not named in such Loan-Related Litigation (and regardless of whether the Trust is named), the Master Servicer shall notify the Directing Holder (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and the Special Servicer of such litigation as soon as practicable but in any event no later than within ten (10) Business Days of the Master Servicer receiving service of such Loan-Related Litigation.

(b)          To the extent the Master Servicer is named in Loan-Related Litigation, and neither the Trust nor the Special Servicer is named, in order to effectuate the role of the Special Servicer as contemplated by the immediately preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall (i) provide quarterly (unless requested in writing from time to time on a more frequent basis) status reports to the Special Servicer, regarding such Loan-Related Litigation; (ii) use reasonable efforts to have the Trust replace the Master Servicer as the appropriate party to the lawsuit; and (iii) so long as the Master Servicer remains a party to the lawsuit, consult with and act at the direction of the Special Servicer with respect to material decisions and material

 -288-

monetary settlements related to the interests of the Trust in such Loan-Related Litigation, including but not limited to the selection of counsel. If and/or once the Trust and/or the Special Servicer are named, the Special Servicer shall assume control of the Loan-Related Litigation as provided in Section 3.31(a) above, the Master Servicer shall no longer have the reporting obligations set forth above and the Special Servicer’s selection of counsel shall be subject to the consent of the Master Servicer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Further, if there are claims against the Master Servicer, the Trust, and the Special Servicer, each party at the request of the other shall enter into a joint defense agreement in accordance with Section 3.31(h) below.

(c)           The Special Servicer shall not (i) undertake (or direct the Master Servicer to undertake) any material settlement of any Loan-Related Litigation or (ii) initiate any material Loan-Related Litigation unless and until it has notified in writing the Directing Holder (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and to the extent the identity of the Directing Holder is actually known to the Special Servicer; provided that the Special Servicer shall make due inquiry of the Certificate Administrator as to the identity of the Directing Holder), and the related holder of any Companion Loan (if such matter affects a Companion Loan and to the extent the identity of the holder of such Companion Loan is actually known to the Special Servicer), and the Directing Holder (for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) has not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days of having been notified thereof and having been provided with all information that the Directing Holder has reasonably requested with respect thereto promptly following its receipt of the subject notice (it being understood and agreed that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such five (5) Business Day period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have approved the taking of such action); provided that, if the Special Servicer determines (consistent with the Servicing Standard) that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holders, the Special Servicer may take such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response.

(d)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither of the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Directing Holder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party that would require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, expose any Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, cause any Trust REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC, for federal income tax purposes or result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, the Master Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, responsibilities under this Agreement.

(e)           Notwithstanding the right of the Special Servicer to represent the interests of the Trust in Loan-Related Litigation, the Master Servicer shall retain the right at all times to make determinations in the Master Servicer’s sole discretion, relating to material and direct

 -289-

claims against the Master Servicer where a settlement by the Special Servicer has not otherwise been resolved pursuant to the terms of clause (g) below, including but not limited to the right to engage separate counsel, to make settlement decisions and to appear in any proceeding on its own behalf. The cost related to or incurred in connection with exercising such rights shall be subject to indemnification as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.

(f)           Further, nothing in this Section shall require the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other party to this Agreement to take or fail to take any action which, in such party’s reasonable judgment, may result in a violation of the REMIC Provisions subject the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or other such party to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer or such other party’s obligations under this Agreement.

(g)          In the event where the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is a named party neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall settle on behalf of the other such party any Loan-Related Litigation without such other party’s consent unless: (i) such settlement does not contain or require any admission of liability, wrongdoing or consent to injunctive relief on the part of such other party and such other party is fully released, (ii) the cost of such settlement or any resulting judgment is and shall be paid by the Trust and payment of such cost or judgment is provided for in this Agreement, (iii) such other party is and shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in this Agreement for all costs and expenses incurred in defending and settling the Loan-Related Litigation and for any judgment, (iv) any such action taken by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer shall be deemed (as to the Master Servicer) to be in compliance with the Servicing Standard and (v) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, provides such other party with assurance reasonably satisfactory to such other party, as to the items in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv).

(h)          In the event both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or Trust are named in Loan-Related Litigation, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall (i) to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer deem it appropriate, use reasonable efforts to enter into a joint defense agreement and (ii) otherwise cooperate with each other to afford the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights afforded to such party in this Section 3.31.

(i)           This Section shall not apply in and to the extent that the Special Servicer authorizes the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer agrees (both authority and agreement to be in writing), to make certain decisions or control certain Loan-Related Litigation on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(j)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) in the event that any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian, Asset Representations Reviewer or Operating Advisor, in its respective individual capacity, or in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian, Asset Representations Reviewer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, in its individual capacity, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian, Asset Representations Reviewer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to

 -290-

protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (y) in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian, Asset Representations Reviewer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (i) initiate an action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian, Asset Representations Reviewer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, whether in such capacity or individually, (ii) engage counsel to represent the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian, Asset Representations Reviewer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (iii) settle any claim giving rise to liability to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian, Asset Representations Reviewer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, in its individual capacity, or (iv) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar actions with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian, Asset Representations Reviewer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian, Asset Representations Reviewer or Operating Advisor to grant such consent); and (z) in the event that any court finds that the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian, Asset Representations Reviewer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests, whether as Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian, Asset Representations Reviewer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); provided, however, nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to preclude the Special Servicer (with respect to any material Loan-Related Litigation, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Holder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as representative of the Trust.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Section, this Section shall not apply to any Loan-Related Litigation and shall have no force and effect with respect thereto, in the event that either (i) at the time such Loan-Related Litigation is commenced or at any time during the continuance of such Loan-Related Litigation, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, is no longer the Special Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan or has received notice of its replacement as Special Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan whether or not such replacement is effective or (ii) the Depositor, any Sponsor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Initial Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates is an adverse party (with respect to the Trust or the Special Servicer) to such Loan-Related Litigation or holds any interest that is adverse to the Trust or the Special Servicer in the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan (or any portion thereof) or the related Mortgaged Property to which Loan-Related Litigation relates, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by each of the Depositor, Mortgage Loan Seller, Initial Purchaser, or Affiliate that is

 -291-

such a party or holds such interest. In each case under clauses (i) and (ii) above, the applicable party listed above shall use reasonable efforts to provide notice of such occurrence to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer relating to any Loan-Related Litigation shall be limited solely to the representation of the Trust and itself, separate and apart from the interests of any other party thereto. For the further avoidance of doubt, in such circumstance described in this paragraph, the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer relating to litigation shall be as otherwise set forth with respect to servicing in this Agreement.

The resigning Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate will be required to bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each other party to this Agreement, the Issuing Entity and each Rating Agency in connection with such resignation as and to the extent required under this Agreement; provided, however, if the affiliation causing an Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate is the result of the Third Party Purchaser acquiring an interest in such Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate or an affiliate of such Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate, then such costs and expenses will be an expense of the Issuing Entity.

(d)          On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of principal or reimbursement of Realized Loss in an amount equal to the amount of principal or reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Interest Realized Losses actually distributable to the Holders of the respective Related Certificates or the Retained Interest Owner as provided in Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b), Section 4.01(d), Section 4.01(e), Section 4.01(g) and Section 4.01(j) such that at all times the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests is equal to the Certificate Balance of the Class of Related Certificates or Retained Interest. On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount or Retained Interest Distribution Amount, as applicable, in respect of its Related Certificates or Retained Interest, plus a pro rata portion of the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of (i) in the case of the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LA3, Class LA4, Class LAAB and Class LAS Lower-Tier Regular Interests, the Class X-A Certificates, (ii) in the case of the Class LB Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-B Certificates, (iii) in the case of the Class LC Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-C Certificates and (iv) in the case of the Class LD Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-D Certificates, in each case, computed based on an interest rate equal to the excess of the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate over the Pass-Through Rate of the Related Certificates and a notional amount equal to its related Lower-Tier Principal Amount, in each case to the extent actually distributable thereon as provided in Section 4.01(b). Amounts distributable pursuant to this paragraph are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier Distribution Amount”, and shall be made by the Certificate Administrator by deeming such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount to be withdrawn from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to be deposited in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

As of any date, the principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the Certificate Balance of the Related Certificates or Retained Interest with respect thereto, as adjusted for the allocation of Realized Losses and Retained Interest Realized Losses, as provided in Sections 4.04(b) and 4.04(b). The initial principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the respective Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The pass-through rate with respect to each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be the rate per annum set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto.

Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on each Distribution Date after distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount, and distribution of Yield Maintenance Charges pursuant to Section 4.01(f)(iii) shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest (but only to the extent of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, if any).

(e)          On and after the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Balances of the Subordinate Certificates have all been reduced to zero, any amounts representing reimbursements of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Classes, if available, will be distributed to the Senior Certificates pro rata based on their respective Certificate Balances.

(f)           (i) On any Distribution Date, the Retained Interest Percentage of any Yield Maintenance Charge collected on the Mortgage Loans as of the related Determination Date shall

 -298-

be distributed to the Retained Interest Owner, and the Non-Retained Interest Percentage of any Yield Maintenance Charge shall be distributed to Holders of the Classes of Certificates as follows: (a) pro rata, between (i) the group (the “YM Group A”) of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S and Class X-A Certificates and (ii) the group (the “YM Group B” and collectively with the YM Group A, the “YM Groups”) of the Class D and Class X-B Certificates, the Class B Certificates and the Class C Certificates based upon the aggregate amount of principal distributed to the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in each YM Group on such Distribution Date; and (b) as among the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in each YM Group in the following manner: (1) the holders of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group will be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date an amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge equal to the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount distributed as principal to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates on such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group on such Distribution Date, (y) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment and such Class of Certificates and (z) the portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to such YM Group, and (2) the portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to such YM Group remaining after such distributions will be distributed to the Class of Class X Certificates in such YM Group. If there is more than one Class of Principal Balance Certificates in either YM Group entitled to distributions of principal on any particular Distribution Date on which Yield Maintenance Charges are distributable to such Class(es) of Certificates, the aggregate amount of such Yield Maintenance Charges will be allocated among all such Classes of Principal Balance Certificates up to, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with, their respective entitlements in those Yield Maintenance Charges in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph.

(ii)           After the Distribution Date on which the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates and the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates have been reduced to zero, all the Non-Retained Interest Percentage of all Yield Maintenance Charges collected with respect to the Mortgage Loans allocated to the Certificateholders will be distributed pro rata to the Holders of the Class X-B Certificates and the Retained Interest Percentage of all Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Retained Interest.

(iii)          All distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges made (i) in respect of the respective Classes of Regular Certificates or the Retained Interest on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(f)(i) or Section 4.01(f)(ii) shall first be deemed to be distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, pro rata based upon the amount of principal distributed in respect of each such Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(d) above.

(g)          On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw amounts (i) from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and shall distribute such amounts  to reimburse the Holders of the Regular Certificates (in order of distribution priority) (first deeming such amounts to be

 -299-

distributed with respect to the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests) up to an amount equal to all Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to them and unreimbursed after application of the Certificate Available Funds for such Distribution Date, and (ii) from the Retained Interest Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and shall distribute such amounts to reimburse the Retained Interest Owner (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests) up to an amount equal to all Retained Interest Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to the Retained Interest and unreimbursed after application of the Retained Interest Available Funds for such Distribution Date. Amounts paid from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account or the Retained Interest Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account will not reduce the Certificate Balances of the Classes of Certificates receiving such distributions or the Retained Interest Balance, as applicable. Any amounts remaining (1) in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions shall be held and applied to offset future Realized Losses with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates and related Realized Losses in each case allocable to the Regular Certificates and (2) in the Retained Interest Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions shall be held and applied to offset future Retained Interest Realized Losses with respect to the Retained Interest. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Retained Interest Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Class R Certificateholders from the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class LR Interest.

(h)          All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 4.01(i), 4.01(j) and 9.01, all such distributions with respect to each Class on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate or the Retained Interest (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) will be made in like manner, but, in the case of the Certificates, only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a ”brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Master

 -300-

Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Underwriters shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.

(i)            Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Certificates) or the Retained Interest (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any amount of Retained Interest Realized Losses previously allocated to the Retained Interest) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the related P&I Advance Determination Date, post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) a notice in electronic format to the effect that:

(i)            the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates or the Retained Interest will be made on such Distribution Date but, in the case of the Certificates, only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein specified; and

(ii)           no interest shall accrue on such Certificates or the Retained Interest from and after such Distribution Date.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(i) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(i).

(j)            Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Interest Realized Losses previously allocated to the Regular Certificates or the Retained Interest shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b), Section 4.01(d) or Section 4.01(e) as applicable, to the Holders of the respective Class or the Retained Interest Owner otherwise entitled to distributions of interest and principal on such Class or the Retained Interest on the relevant Distribution Date; provided that all distributions in reimbursement of

 -301-

Realized Losses previously allocated to a Class of Certificates which has since been retired shall be to the prior Holders that surrendered the Certificates of such Class upon retirement thereof and shall be made by check mailed to the address of each such prior Holder last shown in the Certificate Register. Notice of any such distribution to a prior Holder shall be made in accordance with Section 13.05 at such last address. The amount of the distribution to each such prior Holder shall be based upon the aggregate Percentage Interest evidenced by the Certificates surrendered thereby. If the check mailed to any such prior Holder is returned uncashed, then the amount thereof shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of such prior Holder, and the Certificate Administrator shall attempt to contact such prior Holder in the manner contemplated by Section 4.01(h) as if such Holder had failed to surrender its Certificates.

(k)           [Reserved].

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Certificate or the Retained Interest Owner, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above as to the applicable Class, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which person was a Certificateholder, together with such other information as the Certificate Administrator deems necessary or desirable, or that a Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or the Retained Interest Owner reasonably requests, to enable Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner to prepare their tax returns for such calendar year. Such obligation of the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force.

Upon receipt of an Asset Review Report Summary from the Asset Representations Reviewer required to be delivered pursuant to Section 12.01(b), the Certificate Administrator shall (i) include such Asset Review Report Summary in Item 1B on the Form 10-D in accordance with Section 11.04 for such period in which such Asset Review Report Summary was delivered, and (ii) post such Asset Review Report Summary to the Certificate Administrator’s Website not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Asset Review Report Summary from the Asset Representations Reviewer.

(b)          [Reserved].

(c)          Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may, at its sole cost and expense, make available by electronic media, bulletin board service or Internet website (in addition to making information available as provided herein) any reports or other information the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is required or permitted to provide to any party to this Agreement, the Rating Agencies or any Certificateholder, the Retained Interest Owner or any prospective Certificateholder or prospective Retained Interest Owner that has provided the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with an Investor Certification or has executed a “click-through” confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 3.13 hereof (which may be a licensed or registered investment advisor) to the extent such action does not conflict with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation, any requirements to keep Privileged Information confidential), the terms of the Mortgage Loans or applicable law. Notwithstanding this paragraph, the availability of such information or reports on the Internet or similar electronic media shall not be deemed to satisfy any specific delivery requirements in this Agreement except as set forth herein. In connection with providing access to the Master Servicer’s or applicable Special Servicer’s Internet website, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall take reasonable measures to ensure that only such parties listed above may access such information including, without limitation, requiring registration, a confidentiality agreement and acceptance of a disclaimer. The Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be liable for dissemination of this information in accordance with this Agreement, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any information delivered, produced, or made available pursuant to Sections 3.13 and 4.02(c), other than information produced by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that such information otherwise meets the requirements set forth herein with respect to the form and substance of such information or reports. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to attach to any report provided pursuant to this subsection, any reasonable disclaimer with respect to information provided, or any assumptions required to be made by such report.

The Special Servicer shall from time to time (and, in any event, as may be reasonably required by the Master Servicer) provide the Master Servicer with such information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as may be necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each report and any supplemental information to be provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Depositor shall have any obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate the information provided thereto by the Master Servicer. Unless the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report or file received from the Master Servicer contains erroneous information, the Certificate Administrator is authorized to rely thereon in calculating and making distributions to Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner in accordance with Section 4.01, preparing the Distribution Date Statement required by Section 4.02(a) and allocating Realized Losses to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.04 and Retained Interest Realized Losses to the Retained Interest in accordance with Section 4.04.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to this Section 4.02(c) or Section 4.02(d) shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.02(c) or of Section

 -307-

4.02(d) to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).

(d)          Upon the written request of a Certificateholder, any beneficial owner of a Certificate, or any prospective purchaser of a Certificate that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and is designated by a Certificateholder or a beneficial owner of a Certificate as such and, in any case, has delivered an Investor Certification to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, as soon as reasonably practicable, at the expense of the requesting party, the Certificate Administrator shall make available to the requesting party such information that is in the Certificate Administrator’s possession or can reasonably be obtained by the Certificate Administrator as is requested by such person, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the Certificate Registrar, nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for the sufficiency under Rule 144A or any other securities laws of any available information so furnished to any person including any prospective purchaser of a Certificate or any interest therein, nor for the content or accuracy of any information so furnished which was prepared or delivered to them by another.

(e)           The information to which any Certificateholder is entitled is limited to the information gathered and provided to the Certificateholder by the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and by acceptance of any Certificate, each Certificateholder agrees that except as specifically provided herein, no Certificateholder shall contact any Mortgagor directly with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(f)           Upon the reasonable request of any Excluded Controlling Class Holder identified to the Master Servicer (in the case of a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s reasonable satisfaction (at the expense of such Excluded Controlling Class Holder) and if such information is in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide or make available (or forward electronically) to such Excluded Controlling Class Holder (at the expense of such Excluded Controlling Class Holder) any Excluded Information (available to Privileged Persons through the Certificate Administrator’s Website but not accessible to such Excluded Controlling Class Holder through the Certificate Administrator’s Website on account of it constituting Excluded Information) relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which such Excluded Controlling Class Holder is not a Borrower Party; provided that, in connection therewith, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, will keep such Excluded Information confidential and is not a Borrower Party, upon which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may conclusively rely. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Holder or a Controlling

 -308-

Class Certificateholder, as applicable, of an Investor Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B that such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer referenced in this Section 4.02(f) shall include any applicable Excluded Special Servicer with respect to the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s).

Section 4.03      P&I Advances. (a)  On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit from its own funds into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, with respect to the Mortgage Loans to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date or (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account, for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans, or (iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii), aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made. Any amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which P&I Advances were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date, on or before two (2) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.05 by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date, unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Distribution Date. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee of such circumstances by 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any P&I Advance equal to the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee for the related Mortgage Loans shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account but shall be deposited into the Collection Account for payment to CREFC^® on such Distribution Date.

(b)          Subject to Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(e) below, the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date and each Mortgage Loan, shall be equal to: (i) the Periodic Payments (net of related Servicing Fees) other than Balloon Payments, that were due on the Mortgage Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) during the related Collection Period and delinquent as of the close of business on the Business Day preceding the related Master Servicer Remittance Date (or not advanced by any Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the Master Servicer Remittance Date

 -309-

(including any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) as to which the related Balloon Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment therefor. Subject to subsection (c) below, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan), shall continue until the Distribution Date on which the proceeds, if any, received in connection with a Liquidation Event or the disposition of the REO Property, as the case may be, with respect thereto are to be distributed. No P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Companion Loan.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer will be required to make its determination (based on information provided by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer) that it has made a P&I Advance on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan independently of any determination made by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, under the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement in respect of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall provide the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, that either has determined in accordance with the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement with respect to a Non-Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance under the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement that is similar to a P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding advance under such Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement that is similar to a P&I Advance is, a nonrecoverable advance, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may, based upon such determination, determine that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Thereafter, in either case, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not be required to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan unless and until the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines that any such additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, which determination may be as a result of consultation with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 -310-

(d)          In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay the Trustee and itself (in that order of priority) as the case may be, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (but in no event from any funds allocable to a Serviced Companion Noteholder (unless related thereto), except to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement), interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such P&I Advance from the date made to but not including the date of reimbursement; provided, however, that no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance (i) made with respect to a Mortgage Loan unless the related Periodic Payment is received after the related Due Date has passed and any applicable Grace Period has expired or (ii) if the related Periodic Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the related Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance, subject to Section 3.17 of this Agreement, as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account.

(e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Yield Maintenance Charges, Default Interest, late payment charges, prepayment premiums, Balloon Payment or any P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan and (ii) if an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been assessed with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been made in accordance with the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and the Master Servicer has notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount), the interest portion of the P&I Advance in respect of such Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion, if any, of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (x) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance for such Mortgage Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this clause (ii), and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount (or, in the case of a Whole Loan, the portion of such Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the related Mortgage Loan), if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Periodic Payment due on the Maturity Date for a Balloon Mortgage Loan will be the Assumed Scheduled Payment for the related Distribution Date.

(f)           In no event shall either the Master Servicer or the Trustee be required to make a P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan.

Section 4.04     Allocation of Realized Losses. (a)  On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount, if any, by which (i) the Non-Retained Interest Percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (for purposes of this calculation only, not giving effect to any reductions of the Stated Principal Balance for payments of principal collected on the Mortgage Loans that were used to reimburse any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) to the extent such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts are not otherwise determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) of the

 -311-

Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (excluding any portion allocable to any related Companion Loan if applicable) expected to be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date, is less than (ii) the then aggregate Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates after giving effect to distributions of principal on such Distribution Date (any such deficit, the “Realized Loss”). Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class of Regular Certificates, as applicable, shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Realized Losses so allocated to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby. The allocation of Realized Losses shall constitute an allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Class of Certificates in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. With respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the Certificate Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in sequential order, in each case up to the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates.

On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.04(a), the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount of Retained Interest Realized Losses and shall allocate such Retained Interest Realized Losses to the Retained Interest by reducing the Retained Interest Balance by the amount so allocated. On each Distribution Date, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the Retained Interest Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan , the amount of such recovery will be added to the Retained Interest Balance that previously were allocated Retained Interest Realized Losses, up to the amount of the unreimbursed Retained Interest Realized Losses allocated to the Retained Interest. Any such allocations or recoveries will be deemed allocated to the LRI Uncertificated Interest such that, at all times, the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the LRI Uncertificated Interest will equal the Retained Interest Balance of the Retained Interest.

(b)          On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses, if any, allocable to such Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date. Any such write off shall be allocated first, to the Class G Certificates, second, to the Class F Certificates, third, to the Class E Certificates, fourth, to the Class D Certificates, fifth, to the Class C Certificates, sixth, to the Class B Certificates; seventh, to the Class A-S Certificates and then, pro rata (based on their respective Certificate Balances), to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-AB Certificates, in each case until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates have been reduced to zero.

(c)          With respect to any Distribution Date, any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(a) or Section 4.04(b),

 -312-

respectively, and any Retained Interest Realized Losses with respect to such Distribution Date shall reduce the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interest with respect thereto as a write-off.

Section 4.05    Appraisal Reduction Amounts; Collateral Deficiency Amounts. (a)  For purposes of (x) determining the Controlling Class (and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes and the Retained Interest for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, Appraisal Reduction Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) will be allocated to each Class of Certificates and the Retained Interest. Allocations to the Classes of Certificates of the Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be made in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to Class G Certificates, second, to the Class F Certificates, third, to the Class E Certificates, fourth, to the Class D Certificates, fifth, to the Class C Certificates, sixth, to the Class B Certificates, seventh, to the Class A-S Certificates, and finally, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements, to the Senior Certificates). The Retained Interest Percentage of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to the Retained Interest. Following receipt from the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan (which notification may be satisfied through delivery of such information included in the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File or the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package or such report mutually agreed upon between the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator). Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class. The Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of the identity of the Controlling Class as set forth in Section 3.23(m). With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Controlling Class, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property will be determined on an “as-is” basis.

As of the first Determination Date following a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage 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 such Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by the Special Servicer that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the Special Servicer shall (i) promptly request from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the Special Servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the Special Servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt

 -313-

of notice by any other party to this Agreement that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the Special Servicer thereof. The Master Servicer shall provide (via electronic delivery) the Special Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, redetermine, calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount for any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Companion Loan using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within 4 Business Days of the Special Servicer’s reasonable request. Upon reasonable prior written request, the Master Servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to assist the Special Servicer in obtaining information reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to an Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan in the event that the special servicer is unsuccessful in obtaining such information from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

For purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Interests, the Controlling Class and the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to a related Mortgage Loan will be allocated to each class of Principal Balance Certificates and the Retained Interest. The Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until the related Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class G Certificates, then, to the Class F Certificates, then, to the Class E Certificates, then, to the Class D Certificates, then, Class C Certificates; then, to the Class B Certificates; then, to the Class A-S Certificates; and finally, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements, to the Senior Certificates). The Risk Retention Allocation Percentage of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to the Retained Interest. In addition, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to a related Mortgage Loan that is an AB Modified Loan will be allocated to each class of Control Eligible Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until the related Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to Class G certificates and second, to the Class F certificates). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, any Class of Control Eligible Certificates will be allocated both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts, as described in this paragraph.

The Appraised Value of any applicable Mortgaged Property is required to be determined on an “as-is” basis for purposes of determining all Appraisal Reduction Amounts. The Special Servicer will be required to promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator of (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount and (ii) any Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount (which notification shall be satisfied through delivery of such information included in the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File, as to the Appraisal Reduction Amounts, and the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template, as to the Collateral Deficiency Amount, included in the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package, which shall be delivered simultaneously with the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.12(d), and the Certificate Administrator will be required to promptly post notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and any

 -314-

resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, to the certificate administrator’s website.

(b)          (i)  The Holders of the majority of Voting Rights of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates, that is determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Class (any such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order (or, with respect to a Collateral Deficiency Amount calculation for a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, require the Master Servicer to request from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer) a second Appraisal with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). With respect to any such Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), such applicable Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such second appraisal to be (i) delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and (ii) prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that such MAI appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal).

(ii)          Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Master Servicer (for Collateral Deficiency Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer (for Appraisal Reduction Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans to the extent provided for in the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and applicable Co-Lender Agreement) and the Special Servicer (for Mortgage Loans other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or the Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, is warranted, and if so warranted, such Person shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on such supplemental Appraisal. If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each other Appraised-Out Class shall, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, if applicable. In addition, the Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Balance of any Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional appraisal of any Mortgage Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount if an event has occurred at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties that would have a material effect on its appraised value, and the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such appraisal to be (i) delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and (ii) prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser; provided, that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain such appraisal if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that no events at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties have occurred that would have a material effect on the appraised value of the

 -315-

related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. The Holders of an Appraised-Out Class requesting any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above shall refrain from exercising any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class, until such time, if any, as the Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class, (such period beginning upon receipt by the Special Servicer of any request to obtain a supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the Special Servicer determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted or (B) the Special Servicer recalculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount based on the supplemental Appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”). The rights of the Controlling Class during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the most senior Control Eligible Certificates, if any.

(c)          With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the Special Servicer shall (1) within thirty (30) days of the end each 9-month period following the related Appraisal Reduction Event, and (2) upon its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, notify the Master Servicer of the occurrence of such 9-month period or determination and order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, an expense of the Trust, or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable and, promptly following receipt of any such Appraisal or performance of such valuation (or receipt of any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above), shall deliver a copy thereof to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) the Directing Holder. Based upon such Appraisal or internal valuation (or any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above) and (for Mortgage Loans other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is either in the Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) the Directing Holder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and such report shall be delivered in the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template format; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Master Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Special Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Master Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. Such report shall also be forwarded by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the Other Servicer of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been

 -316-

sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan). If the Special Servicer is required to redetermine the Appraisal Reduction Amount, such redetermined Appraisal Reduction Amount shall replace the prior Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Holder with respect to any Appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, with respect to a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred to the extent the Special Servicer has obtained an Appraisal or conducted such a valuation (in accordance with requirements of this Agreement), as applicable, with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the nine-month period immediately prior to the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the Special Servicer may use such prior Appraisal or valuation, as applicable, in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan; provided that the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change to the related Mortgaged Property having occurred and affecting the validity of such Appraisal or valuation.

The Master Servicer shall deliver electronically to the Special Servicer any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount and Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request therefor; provided, the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to use reasonable efforts to provide such information to the Special Servicer within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request.

(d)          Any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, previously subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount and Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount, which has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable), and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing, will no longer be subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount and Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be calculated by the applicable party under and in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement.

(e)           Each Serviced Whole Loan will be treated as a single Mortgage Loan for purposes of calculating an Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan(s) that comprise such Serviced Whole Loan. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Serviced AB Whole Loan will be allocated in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement or, if no allocation is specified in the related Co-Lender Agreement, then, first, to the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan (until its principal balance is notionally reduced to zero by such Appraisal Reduction Amounts) and second, pro rata to the related AB

 -317-

Mortgage Loan and any related Pari Passu Companion Loan. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be allocated in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement or, if no allocation is specified in the related Co-Lender Agreement, then, pro rata, between the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, based upon their respective Stated Principal Balances.

Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and in the case of any Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following: AskMidland@Midlandls.com), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless such party determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator by electronic mail. In the case of an Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable efforts to obtain an answer from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the content of such answer or any delay or failure to obtain such answer. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust, the Certificateholders and/or the Retained Interest Owner, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require

 -318-

the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception), or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination. In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Holder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in its capacity as Risk Retention Consultation Party) as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered. Any notice by the Certificate Administrator to the Person who submitted an Inquiry that will not be answered shall include the following statement: “Because the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor shall not answer an Inquiry if it determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law or the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional costs or expenses to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information, or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, no inference should or may be drawn from the fact that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor has declined to answer the Inquiry.” Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any of the Depositor, the Underwriters or any of their respective Affiliates.

The Investor Q&A Forum will not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted via the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to respond to any Inquiries from Certificateholders or the Retained Interest Owner for which its response would require the Operating Advisor to provide information to such inquiring Certificateholders or the Retained Interest Owner that they are otherwise not entitled to receive under the terms of this Agreement.

(b)          The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder, the Retained Interest Owner and any Certificate Owner that is a Privileged Person, the Investor Registry. The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and Certificate Owners that are Privileged Persons can register and thereafter obtain information with respect to any other Certificateholder, the Retained Interest Owner or Certificate Owner that has so registered. Any person registering to use the Investor Registry will be required to certify that (a) it is a Certificateholder, the Retained Interest Owner or a Certificate Owner and a Privileged Person and (b) it grants authorization to the Certificate Administrator to make its

 -319-

name and contact information available on the Investor Registry for at least forty-five (45) days from the date of such certification to persons entitled to access to the Investor Registry. Such Person shall then be asked to enter certain mandatory fields such as the individual’s name, the company name and e-mail address, as well as certain optional fields such as address, phone, and Class(es) of Certificates owned.

In addition, NRSROs may use the forum to submit requests (each such submission also, a “Rating Agency Inquiry”) to the Master Servicer for loan-level reports and other related information.

If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Servicing Standard, this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege with, or the disclosure of attorney work product, or (iii) (A) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and (B) the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (or in good faith, in the case of the Certificate Administrator) that the performance of such duties or the payment of such costs and expenses is beyond the scope of its duties in its capacity as Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, it shall not be required to

 -320-

answer such Rating Agency Inquiry and shall promptly notify the 17g-5 Information Provider by e-mail of such determination. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly thereafter post the Rating Agency Inquiry with the reason it was not answered to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. The 17g-5 Information Provider will not be liable for the failure by any other such Person to so answer.

In no case shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have obtained actual or constructive knowledge of the contents of, or information contained in, any Diligence File by virtue of posting such Diligence File to the Secure Data Room. In the event that any document or information is posted in error, the Certificate Administrator may remove such document or information from the Secure Data Room.

(b)          One authorized signatory shall sign the Certificates for the Certificate Registrar by manual or facsimile signature.

A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Certificate Registrar (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.

(c)           The HRR Certificates shall only be held as Definitive Certificates in the Third Party Purchaser Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator (and the Holder of the HRR Certificates shall be registered on the Certificate Register), unless otherwise consented to by the Sponsor. The Certificate Administrator shall hold the HRR Certificates in safekeeping and shall release the same only upon receipt of written instructions in accordance with this agreement from the holder of the HRR Certificates and the Sponsor’s consent (subject to Section 5.01(d)), and in accordance with any authentication procedures as may be utilized by the Certificate Administrator. There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator an account which will be designated the “Third Party Purchaser Safekeeping Account” and into which the HRR Certificates shall be held and which shall be governed by and subject to this Agreement. In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Certificate Administrator may establish any number of subaccounts to the Third Party Purchaser Safekeeping Account for the Holder of the HRR Certificates. The HRR Certificates to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein. No amounts distributable to the HRR Certificates shall be remitted to the Third Party Purchaser Safekeeping Account, but shall be remitted directly to the Holder of the HRR Certificates in accordance with written instructions (which shall be in the form of Exhibit C to this Agreement) provided separately by the Holder of the HRR Certificates to the Certificate Administrator. Under no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping the HRR Certificates shall the Certificate Administrator (i) be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any person on behalf of the Holder of the HRR Certificates or (ii) have any obligation to monitor, supervise or enforce the performance of any party under the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely with no obligation to verify, confirm or otherwise monitor the accuracy of any information included in any written instructions provided in connection with this Third-Party Purchaser Safekeeping Account and shall have no liability in connection therewith, other than with respect to the Certificate Administrator’s obligation to obtain the Sponsor’s consent prior to any release of the HRR Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall hold the Individual Certificate representing the HRR Certificates at the below location, or any other location; provided the Certificate Administrator has given notice to the Holder of the HRR Certificates of such new location:

The Certificate Administrator shall make available to the Holder of the HRR Certificates a statement of Third Party Purchaser Safekeeping Account as mutually agreed upon by the Certificate Administrator and the Holder of the HRR Certificates, and in accordance with the Certificate Administrator’s policies and procedures. Any transfer of the HRR Certificates shall be subject to Article V of this Agreement.

(d)          In the event the Third Party Purchaser seeks to cause the release of any HRR Certificates from the Third Party Safekeeping Account, the Third Party Purchaser shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator (i) a written request for such release and (ii) a written request for the Sponsor’s consent to such release substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-7. Promptly upon receipt of such request for the Sponsor’s consent, the Certificate Administrator shall forward such request to the Sponsor, the Depositor and counsel via electronic mail to the addresses listed on such form (or such other method and/or address(es) as may hereafter be furnished by the Sponsor to the Certificate Administrator in writing). The Certificate Administrator may not consent to, or otherwise permit, any such release without obtaining the Sponsor’s countersigned request for consent; provided that if the Sponsor fails to respond (which response, for the avoidance of doubt, may include an acknowledgement of such request) in writing to the Certificate Administrator within 10 Business Days after the Sponsor’s receipt of any such written request for the Sponsor’s consent, such release will be deemed to have been approved by the Sponsor. The Certificate Administrator shall be indemnified and held harmless for any release in connection with the preceding, in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 8.03.

Section 5.02     Form and Registration. No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer (other than one by the Depositor to an Affiliate thereof or by the Initial Purchasers to RREF III-D AIV RR, LLC) is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then either:

(a)           Each Class of the Non-Registered Certificates (other than the HRR and Class R Certificates) sold to institutions that are non-United States Securities Persons in Offshore Transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act shall initially be represented by a temporary book-entry certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each a “Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Non-Registered Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream. Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period,

 -324-

beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f). During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby initially appointed the Authenticating Agent with the power to act, on the Trustee’s behalf, in the authentication and delivery of the Certificates in connection with transfers and exchanges as herein provided. If Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is removed as Certificate Administrator, then Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall be terminated as Authenticating Agent. If the Authenticating Agent is terminated, the Trustee shall appoint a successor authenticating agent, which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate thereof.

(b)          Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

(c)           Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) that are initially offered and sold to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers, the HRR Certificates and the Class R Certificates (the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered in the name of such investors or their nominees by the Certificate Registrar who shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class R Certificates shall only be in the form of Definitive Certificates.

 -325-

(d)          Owners of beneficial interests in Book-Entry Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Registrar and the Depository are unable to locate a qualified successor within ninety (90) days of such notice or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Certificate Registrar to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Non-Registered Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Book-Entry Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Book-Entry Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for re-registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Book-Entry Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Class of Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.

If a holder of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate deposited with the Certificate Registrar as custodian for the Depository wishes at any time during the Restricted Period to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate for an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07 hereof, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Certificate Registrar to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase and the name of such account and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit I hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Book-Entry Certificates and pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions (who shall be the agent member of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both) a beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such exchange or transfer the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate that is being exchanged or transferred.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07 hereof, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the

 -327-

Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit J hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating (A) that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Book-Entry Certificates and pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, or (B) that the Transferee is otherwise entitled to hold its interest in the applicable Certificates in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, without any registration of such Certificates under the Act (in which case such certificate shall enclose an Opinion of Counsel to such effect and such other documents as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably require), then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such exchange or transfer the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate that is being exchanged or transferred.

(e)           Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate deposited with the Certificate Registrar as custodian for the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer its interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07 hereof, of (1) instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate equal to the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, (2) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be debited with such decrease and (3) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate (i) during the Restricted Period, a certificate in the form of Exhibit K hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating that the Person transferring such interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate is a Qualified Institutional Buyer or (ii) after the Restricted Period, an Investment Representation Letter in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto from the Transferee to the effect that such

 -328-

Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer (an “Investment Representation Letter”) and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with such reduction, to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions, a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such transfer the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate that is being transferred.

(f)           Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate as to which the Certificate Registrar has received from Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate (a “Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification”) to the effect that Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, has received a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto from the holder of a beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, shall be exchanged after the Restricted Period, for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. The Certificate Registrar shall effect such exchange by delivering to the Depository for credit to the respective accounts of such holders, a duly executed and authenticated Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Balance of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. The delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream of the certificate or certificates referred to above may be relied upon by the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar as conclusive evidence that the certificate or certificates referred to therein has or have been delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby. Until so exchanged in full and except as provided therein, the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.

(g)          Non-Book Entry Certificate to Book-Entry Certificate. If a holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than an HRR Certificate or a Class R Certificate) wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is entitled to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or

 -329-

Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, cause the exchange of all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an equivalent beneficial interest in the appropriate Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07 hereof, of (1) such Non-Book Entry Certificate, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such holder directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the portion of the Certificate Balance of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit M hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate), in the form of Exhibit N hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate) or in the form of Exhibit O hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate), then the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, shall cancel, or cause to be canceled, all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate, shall, if applicable, execute, authenticate and deliver to the Transferor a new Non-Book Entry Certificate equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion retained by such Transferor and shall instruct the Depository to increase, or cause to be increased, such Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged and to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate so canceled. Upon the written direction of the Depositor (which may be by e-mail to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com) or its Affiliate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute any instrument as may be reasonably required by the Depository to effect such exchange.

(h)           Non-Book Entry Certificates on Initial Issuance Only. Subject to the issuance of Definitive Certificates, if and when permitted by Section 5.02(d), no Non-Book Entry Certificate shall be issued to a Transferee of an interest in any Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or to a Transferee of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (or any portion thereof).

(i)            Other Exchanges. In the event that a Book-Entry Certificate is exchanged for a Definitive Certificate, such Certificates may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of subsections (c) through (f) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act, at the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Certificate Registrar.

(j)            Restricted Period. Prior to the termination of the Restricted Period with respect to the issuance of the Certificates, transfers of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the provisions of subsection (e) above.

(k)           If Non-Registered Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing a restrictive legend relating to compliance with the Act, or if a request is made to remove such legend on Certificates, the Non-Registered Certificates so issued shall bear the restrictive legend, or such legend shall not be removed, as the case may be,

 -330-

unless there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Certificates that do not bear such legend.

(l)            All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the Certificate Registrar’s customary procedures.

(m)         With respect to the ERISA Restricted Certificates, no sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition (other than any initial transfer to the Initial Purchasers) of any such Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the proposed purchaser or Transferee of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, to the effect that such proposed purchaser or Transferee is not (A) an employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) for which no election has been made under Section 410(d) of the Code or any other plan subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) which is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (B) a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such Plan (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA), other than an insurance company using the assets of its general account under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of such Certificates by such insurance company would be exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code under Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, would not result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law) or (ii) if such Certificate which may be held only by a person not described in clauses (A) or (B) above, is presented for registration in the name of a purchaser or Transferee that is any of the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate by such purchaser or Transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation of any Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any such Similar Law) in addition to those set forth in the Agreement. The Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall not register the sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificate unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator have received either the representation letter described in clause (i) above or the Opinion of Counsel described in clause (ii) above. The costs of any of the foregoing representation letters or Opinions of Counsel shall not be borne by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor or the Trust. Each Certificate Owner of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not a Person specified in clauses (i)(A) or (i)(B) above. Any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificates that would constitute or result in

 -331-

a prohibited transaction under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, or would otherwise violate the provisions of this Section 5.03(m) shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

(n)          No Class R Certificate or the Retained Interest may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or Transferee that is or will be a Plan, or any person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) to purchase such Class R Certificate or the Retained Interest. Each prospective Transferee of a Class R Certificate or the Retained Interest shall deliver to the Transferor and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2, stating that the prospective Transferee is not a Plan or a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan. Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of these transfer restrictions shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported Transferee and shall not relieve the Transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates or the Retained Interest.

Each Person who has or acquires any Residual Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Residual Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i)           Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Residual Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.03(n) by a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee shall be void ab initio and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.

(ii)          No Residual Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Residual Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed Transferee to deliver, and the proposed Transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed Transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed Transferee (A) that such proposed Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed Transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed Transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (3) the proposed Transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual

 -332-

Ownership Interest as they become due, (4) the proposed Transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed Transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person, (5) the proposed Transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed Transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the proposed Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.03(n) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement from the proposed Transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-2 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed Transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed Transferee’s statements therein are false.

(iii)         Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed Transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer to such proposed Transferee shall be effected and such proposed Transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate Register; provided, however, the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed Transferee is a Permitted Transferee. Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a Transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than sixty (60) days after a request for information from the Transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and the Transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the Transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

(o)          The Class R Certificates may only be transferred to and owned by Qualified Institutional Buyers.

(p)          At all times, if a transfer of the HRR Certificates is to be made, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-5, and (ii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-6. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.01(c) and Section 5.03, reflect the HRR Certificates in the name of the prospective

 -333-

transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the HRR Certificates be held as a Global Certificate.

(q)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner and other payees of interest or original issue discount that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner or payees shall not be required for such withholding, and the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner shall be required to provide the Certificate Administrator with such forms and such other information reasonably required by the Certificate Administrator. If the Certificate Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Person. Such amounts shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Persons for all purposes of this Agreement.

(r)           Until the expiration of the Retained Interest Transfer Restriction Period, no Person shall be permitted to own, directly or indirectly, any interest in the Retained Interest other than (i) the Sponsor or one of its Majority Owned Affiliates that is not a Non-Exempt Person or (ii) a Person that provides financing permitted under the Risk Retention Rule to the Sponsor or such Majority Owned Affiliate. The Retained Interest Owner, if it wishes to transfer the Retained Interest, shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing of such transfer and identify the new Retained Interest Owner. After the expiration of the Retained Transfer Restriction Period, the Retained Interest or any portion thereof may be transferred to a Qualified Retained Interest Owner. The Certificate Administrator shall register the ownership of the Retained Interest on a registry of ownership maintained by the Certificate Administrator, except that the Certificate Administrator shall not record the initial ownership of the Retained Interest by the Sponsor or any subsequent transfer of the Retained Interest to a Majority Owned Affiliate. Any transfer of the Retained Interest (including to a Majority Owned Affiliate) shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law unless all of the following is provided to the Certificate Administrator (i) the transferor of the Retained Interest has executed and delivered to the Certificate Administrator a certification in the form of Exhibit D-4 hereto, (ii) the transferee of the Retained Interest has executed and delivered to the Certificate Administrator a certification in the form of Exhibit D-3 hereto and (iii) notice of the subsequent owner, together with wiring instructions and contact information for such transferee. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, no Person shall have any rights hereunder with respect to the Retained Interest unless (i) in the case of the Sponsor or its Majority Owned Affiliate, such Person is identified in writing to the Certificate Administrator as being the Retained Interest Owner, or (ii) in the case of any subsequent transferee, such Person is identified as being the Retained Interest Owner on the ownership registry. The Certificate Administrator, the other parties to this Agreement and the Certificateholders shall be entitled to treat the Retained Interest Owner (in the case of any subsequent Retained Interest Owner, as recorded on such ownership registry) as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in the Retained Interest on the part of any other Person. Any transfer of an interest in the Retained Interest that is not in compliance with this Section

 -334-

5.03(r) or Section 5.03(n) shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law.

(s)           The Sponsor represents, and any subsequent Retained Interest Owner shall be deemed by virtue of its acceptance of the Retained Interest to represent, to the Trust and the Certificate Administrator (for the benefit of the borrowers) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of the Agreement, the Retained Interest Owner shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator evidence satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator substantiating that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Certificate Administrator is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (a) if the Retained Interest Owner is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Certificate Administrator an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (b) if the Retained Interest Owner is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the borrowers is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, the Retained Interest Owner shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Certificate Administrator an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) or Form W-8BEN, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by the Retained Interest Owner, as evidence of the Retained Interest Owner’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to the Retained Interest Owner in respect of the Retained Interest or otherwise until the Retained Interest Owner shall have furnished to the Certificate Administrator the forms, certificates, statements or documents required by this Section 5.03(s).

Section 5.04      Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.

(b)          The Certificate Administrator may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, Appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(c)           The Certificate Administrator, at the expense of the Trust (but only if such amount constitutes “unanticipated expenses of the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)), may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith.

Section 5.09     Voting Procedures for Certificates and Retained Interest. (a) With respect to any matters submitted to holders of Voting Rights for a vote, the Certificate Administrator shall administer such vote through the Depository with respect to Book-Entry Certificates and directly with registered Holders by mail with respect to Definitive Certificates and the Retained Interest. In each case, such vote shall be administered in accordance with the following procedures, unless different procedures are otherwise described herein with respect to a specific vote:

(b)          Any matter submitted to holders of Voting Rights for a vote shall be announced in a notice prepared by the Certificate Administrator. Such notice shall include the record date determined by the Certificate Administrator for purposes of the vote and a voting deadline which shall be no less than thirty (30) days and no later than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is distributed. The notice and related ballot shall be sent to Holders of Book-Entry Certificates through the Depository and by mail to the registered Holders of Definitive Certificates and the Retained Interest Owner. In addition, the notice and related ballot shall be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notices delivered in this manner shall be considered delivered to all holders of Voting Rights regardless of whether any holder of Voting Rights actually receives the notice and ballot.

(c)           In connection with any vote administered pursuant to this Agreement, holders of Voting Rights shall be required to certify their holdings in the manner set forth on the ballot, unless a specific manner is otherwise provided herein. Holders of Voting Rights may only vote in accordance with their Voting Rights. Voting Rights with respect to any outstanding Class of Certificates or the Retained Interest shall be calculated by the Certificate Administrator in accordance with the definition of Voting Rights as of the record date for the vote. Only Classes of Certificates with an outstanding Certificate Balance greater than zero as of the record date of the vote shall be permitted to vote. Once a holder of Voting Rights has cast its vote, the vote may be changed or retracted on or before the vote deadline. Any changes or retractions shall be communicated by the holder of Voting Rights to the Certificate Administrator in writing on a ballot. After the vote deadline has passed, votes may not be changed or retracted by any holder of Voting Rights unless the holder wishing to change or retract its vote holds a sufficient portion of the Voting Rights such that the holder, by its vote alone, could approve or deny the proposition subject to a vote without taking into consideration the votes cast by any other holder of Voting Rights. Transferees or purchasers of any Class of Certificates or the Retained Interest are subject to and shall be bound by all votes of holder of Voting Rights initiated or conducted prior to its acquisition of such Certificate or the Retained Interest.

(d)          The Certificate Administrator may take up to fifteen (15) Business Days to tabulate the results of any vote. The Certificate Administrator shall use its reasonable efforts to resolve any illegible or incomplete ballots received prior to the voting deadline. Illegible or incomplete ballots that are received on the voting deadline or that cannot be resolved by the voting deadline shall not be counted. Promptly after the votes are tabulated, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare a notice announcing the results of the vote. Such notice shall include the percentage of Voting Rights in favor of the proposition, the percentage against the

 -338-

proposition and the percentage abstaining. In addition, the notice will announce whether the proposition has been adopted by holder of Voting Rights. The notice shall be distributed in accordance with the methods described in Section 5.09(b) above. The Certificate Administrator shall also include such notice on the Form 10-D prepared in connection with the distribution period that corresponds with the date such notice is distributed. All vote tabulations shall be final and the Certificate Administrator shall not, absent manifest error, re-tabulate the votes or conduct a new vote for the same proposition.

(e)           Any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering any vote shall be borne by the Trust. The Certificate Administrator is under no obligation to advise holder of Voting Rights about the matter being voted on or answer questions other than process-related questions regarding the administration of the vote.

(f)           If any party to this Agreement believes a vote of holder of Voting Rights is needed for some matter related to the administration of the Trust that is not specifically contemplated herein, such party may request the Certificate Administrator to conduct a vote and the Certificate Administrator will conduct the requested vote in accordance with these procedures. Unless specifically provided herein, all such votes require a majority of holder of Voting Rights to carry a proposition.

Each of the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor conclusively may rely on, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer’s certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, financial statement, agreement, appraisal, bond or other document (in electronic or paper format) as contemplated by and in accordance with this Agreement and reasonably believed or in good faith believed by the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and each of them may consult with counsel, in which case any written advice of counsel or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel.

If any such expenses, costs or liabilities relate to a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, then any

 -348-

subsequent recovery on that Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, will be used to reimburse the Trust for any amounts advanced for the payment of such expenses, costs or liabilities.

The resigning party shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 6.05. Except as provided in Section 7.01(c), in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer have the right to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer if such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is terminated or removed pursuant to Section 7.01.

provided, further, that, in the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Holder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in this Agreement (or any matter requiring consultation with the Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor), is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner and the holders of any related Serviced Companion Loan) (as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans)), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be), provided that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable provides the Directing Holder (or the Operating Advisor, if applicable) with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative for any of the foregoing actions after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided, however, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, but for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Special Servicer will not be required to obtain the consent of the Directing Holder with respect to any of the Major Decisions or Asset Status Reports, but will be required to consult with the Directing Holder in connection with any Major Decision that it is processing or, in the case of the Special Servicer, any Asset Status Report (or any other matter for which the consent of the Directing Holder would have been required or for which the Directing Holder would have the right to direct the master servicer or the special servicer if no Control Termination Event had occurred and was continuing) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Holder in respect of such Major Decision or Asset Status Report (or such other matter). Such consultation will not be binding on the Special Servicer. In the event the Special Servicer receives no response from the Directing Holder within 10 days following the Special Servicer’s written request for input (which request is required to include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required consultation, the Special Servicer will not be obligated to consult with the Directing Holder on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Holder to respond shall not relieve the Special Servicer from consulting with the Directing Holder on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, the Loan-Specific Directing Holder shall, pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement, exercise any consent and consultation rights, and rights to provide direction to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, of the “Directing Holder” with respect to such Mortgage Loan as provided for in this Agreement until the Servicing Shift Securitization Date.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.08(a), including, without limitation, the first proviso set forth at the conclusion of the immediately preceding paragraph, (a) the Special Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a “Major

 -356-

Decision” with respect to (i) any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (ii) any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (unless the Master Servicer and applicable Special Servicer have mutually agreed to have the Master Servicer process such request) and (b) the Master Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a “Major Decision” with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan if the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer have mutually agreed to have the Master Servicer process such request. Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Major Decision (without regard to the first proviso set forth at the conclusion of the immediately preceding paragraph), except with respect to any such request relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process such request, the Special Servicer will be required to process such request and the Master Servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or the related Major Decision.

With respect to any Mortgagor request or other action on Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans that is not a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain the consent of or consult with the Special Servicer, any Directing Holder or the Operating Advisor.

In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Holder subject to any rights, if any, of the related Companion Holder to advise the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan, as the Directing Holder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction or objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan or related Co-Lender Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, or the REMIC Provisions (and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the holders of the related Companion Loan), including without limitation the obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner.

In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Holder or any advice from the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, would cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Trustee and the

 -357-

Rating Agencies of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor or the Risk Retention Consultation Party that does not violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

The Directing Holder shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Directing Holder shall not be protected against any liability to a Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder and the Retained Interest Owner acknowledges and agrees that the Directing Holder may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of the Controlling Class over other Classes of the Certificates or the Retained Interest Owner, and that the Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates or the Retained Interest Owner, that the Directing Holder may act solely in the interests of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, including the Holders of the Controlling Class, that the Directing Holder does not have any duties or liability to the Certificateholders other than the Controlling Class, that the Directing Holder shall not be liable to any Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, and that the Directing Holder shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder or the Retained Interest Owner may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Holder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

The Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be protected against any liability to the Retained Interest Owner that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Retained Interest Owner or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Retained Interest Owner. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may take actions that favor the interests of the Retained Interest over the Certificates, and that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of the Certificates, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may act solely in the interests of the Retained Interest Owner, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party does not have any duties or liability to the Certificateholders, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Retained Interest Owner, and that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Risk Retention Consultation Party or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

 -358-

Any Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that any such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may take actions that favor the interests of one or more classes of the certificates issued under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement including the Holders of the controlling class under such Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement over other Classes of the Certificates, and that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, and that the Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), the Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to or direct any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) after the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder and, with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan (or any Mortgage Loan with respect to decisions pursuant to clause (vi) of the definition of “Major Decision”), the Risk Retention Consultation Party (and at any time with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder) shall have no direction, consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Holder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party.

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor simultaneously upon providing such Major Decision Reporting Package to the Directing Holder; provided, however, that with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan no Major Decision Reporting Package shall be required to be delivered prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event. During the continuance of an Operating Advisor

 -359-

Consultation Event (whether or not a Control Termination Event is continuing), the Special Servicer will be required to provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor simultaneously with the Special Servicer’s written request for the Operating Advisor’s input regarding the related Major Decision, as set forth under Section 6.08. With respect to any particular Major Decision and related Major Decision Reporting Package and any Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall make available to the Operating Advisor servicing officers with relevant knowledge regarding the Mortgage Loan and such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report in order to address reasonable questions that the Operating Advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report and potential conflicts of interest and compensation with respect to such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report.

In addition, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer will also be required to consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Operating Advisor) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event that the Special Servicer receives no response from the Operating Advisor within ten (10) days following the later of (i) its written request for input (which request is required to include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters shall not relieve the Special Servicer from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan related to the Controlling Class Representative (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with the Controlling Class Representative or Operating Advisor’s right to consent or consult with respect to a Major Decision, as applicable, if the Special Servicer determines that action is necessary to protect the Property or the interests of the Certificateholders from potential harm if such action is not taken, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the Property before the expiration of the applicable period for the Operating Advisor or Controlling Class Representative to respond as described in this section, if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders, and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative, as applicable.

 -360-

In addition, (i) for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any applicable Excluded Loan), and (ii) during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any applicable Excluded Loan), the Special Servicer will also be required to consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party in connection with any Major Decision that it is processing (and such other matters that are subject to consultation rights of the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to this Agreement) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the Risk Retention Consultation Party in respect of such Major Decision; provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from the Risk Retention Consultation Party within 10 days following the later of (i) the Special Servicer’s, written request for input (which request is required to include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Risk Retention Consultation Party related to the subject matter of such consultation, the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, will not be obligated to consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond shall not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, using reasonable efforts to consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no consultation or consent rights hereunder and shall have no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Controlling Class Representative. However, the Controlling Class Representative shall maintain the right to exercise its Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder.

Upon a termination of the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) shall appoint a successor special servicer; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02, (ii) each Rating Agency delivers Rating Agency Confirmation and, in the case of any class of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities the applicable rating agencies deliver a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) and (iii) no replacement of the Special Servicer shall be effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan.

 -366-

Balance Certificates and the Retained Interest Owner evidencing more than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights of each ABS Interest of Non-Reduced Interests on an aggregate basis, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated by such holders.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and the Retained Interest Owner may (i) access such notices via the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificateholders’ and the Retained Interest Owner’s direction to replace the Special Servicer will not apply to any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period.

An AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder shall have the right, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period, to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related AB Whole Loan, so long as (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation; (B) the successor special servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor special servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to any AB Whole Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator; and (C) the Certificate Administrator shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as the Special Servicer is in compliance with this Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to any AB Whole Loan, and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, this Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with the terms hereof.

The parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement, if a servicer termination event on the part of a Non-Serviced Special Servicer under a Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement remains unremedied and affects the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (or the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) will be entitled to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The appointment (or replacement) of a special servicer with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, will in any event be subject to Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. A replacement special servicer will be selected by the related Non-Serviced Trustee or, prior to a consultation termination event under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, by the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder; provided, however, that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan cannot at any time be the Person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, without the prior written consent of the Controlling Class Representative.

If at any time the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (i) the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and (ii) the replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner as a collective whole, then the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written recommendation in the form of Exhibit W attached hereto (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written report contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its position (provided that the Operating Advisor will not be permitted to recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer for any Whole Loan so long as the holder of the related Companion Loan is the Directing Holder under the related Co-Lender Agreement) (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer (which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer). In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify each Certificateholder and the Retained Interest Owner of the recommendation and post such notice and report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and by mail conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of Voting Rights evidencing at least a majority of a Quorum (which, this purpose is the Holders that (i) evidence at least 20% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances and the Retained Interest Balance) of all Principal Balance Certificates and the Retained Interest on an aggregate basis, and (B) consist of at least three (3) Certificateholders, the Certificate Owners or Retained Interest Owner that are not Risk Retention Affiliated with each other) and (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to the termination of the Special Servicer and the appointment of a successor special servicer recommended by the Operating Advisor following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee (upon receipt of written confirmation from the Certificate Administrator, if the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee are different entities) shall (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint such successor Special Servicer and (ii) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering such vote and the Operating Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be a Trust Fund expense. In the event that the Certificate Administrator does not receive the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the quorum described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within 180 days of after the notice is posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be permitted to recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer with respect to an AB Whole Loan so long as the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Co-Lender Agreement.

 -368-

No penalty or fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer with respect to any termination pursuant to this Section 7.01(d). All costs of any such termination made by the Controlling Class Representative without cause shall be paid by the Holders of the Controlling Class.

For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification of the Operating Advisor in Section 6.04 shall include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.04, any action or claim arising from, or relating to, the Operating Advisor’s determination under this Section 7.01(d) (regarding removal of the Special Servicer), or the result of the vote (regarding removal of the Special Servicer).

(e)           The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, as the case may be, from time to time, take all such reasonable actions as are required by it in accordance with the related Servicing Standard in order to prevent the Certificates from being placed on “watch” status or downgraded due to servicing or special servicing, as applicable, concerns by any Rating Agency. In no event shall the remedy for a breach of the foregoing covenant extend beyond termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(viii) and (ix) and the resulting operation of Section 7.01(b) and (c). The operation of this subsection (e) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a)(viii) or (ix).

(f)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any class of certificates backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, and if the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated, or (2) if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any class of certificates backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, then the Master Servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan or the holders of any certificates backed, wholly or partially, by such Serviced Companion Loan, but upon the written direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Serviced Whole Loan.

(g)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.01, with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan, if any, the Special Servicer shall resign as Special Servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to select an Excluded Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan in accordance with this Agreement, unless such Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an applicable Excluded Loan. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event or if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an applicable Excluded Loan, the resigning Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to select the related Excluded Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer (as so long as, on the date of the appointment, such appointment of such Excluded Special Servicer meets the criteria set forth hereunder). It shall be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm

 -369-

that the appointment would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then-current ratings of the Certificates and the equivalent from each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, (ii) the related Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the related Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator and any applicable Other Depositor or applicable Other Certificate Administrator, the information, if any, required under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

If at any time the Special Servicer is no longer a Borrower Party (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming an REO Property) with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer shall resign, (2) the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan shall no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) the Special Servicer shall become the Special Servicer again for such related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and (4) the Special Servicer shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Loan; provided, however, for so long as a Control Termination Event is not continuing, the related Excluded Special Servicer will not be required to resign if the Directing Holder determines that such Excluded Special Servicer may continue to serve as special servicer for the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

The applicable Excluded Special Servicer shall perform all of the obligations of the Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan and shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan earned during such time as the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (provided that the Special Servicer shall remain entitled to all other special servicing compensation with respect all Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans that are not Excluded Special Servicer Loans during such time).

If a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, a related Excluded Special Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has actual knowledge that a Mortgage Loan is no longer an applicable Excluded Loan, an Excluded Controlling Class Loan or an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer, the related Excluded Special Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide prompt written notice thereof to each of the other parties to this Agreement.

Section 7.02      Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as the case may be, either resigns pursuant to subsection (a) of the first sentence of Section 6.05 or receives a notice of termination for cause pursuant to Section 7.01(b), and provided that no acceptable successor has been appointed within the time period specified in Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall be the successor to such party, until such successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is appointed as provided in this Section 7.02 or by the Directing Holder as provided in Section 7.01(d), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to, and have the benefit of, all of the rights, (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) benefits,

 -370-

responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liability relating thereto and that arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the terminated party’s failure under Section 7.01 to provide information or moneys required hereunder shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The appointment of a successor master servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer, and the appointment of a successor special servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Special Servicer. The Trustee in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer respectively, herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or for any losses incurred by the predecessor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder, nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder solely as a result of its obligations as successor master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be. Subject to Section 3.11, as compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all fees relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Companion Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, including but not limited to any income or other benefit from any Permitted Investment pursuant to Section 3.06, and subject to Section 3.11, and the Trustee as successor to the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Should the Trustee succeed to the capacity of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be afforded the same standard of care and liability as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder notwithstanding anything in Section 8.01 to the contrary, but only with respect to actions taken by it in its role as successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, and not with respect to its role as Trustee hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to act as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as applicable, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as a servicer by each Rating Agency, or if, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder or the Holders of Voting Rights, as applicable, evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights, so direct in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution which meets the criteria set forth in Section 6.05 and otherwise herein, as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until (i) the assumption in writing by the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder that arise thereafter, (ii) upon receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), (iii) which appointment has been

 -371-

approved (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) by the Directing Holder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and (iv) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation with respect to a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, shall be in excess of that permitted the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. The Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (whichever is not the terminated party) and such successor shall take applicable action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Any costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing function (other than with respect to a termination without cause) under this Agreement shall be borne by the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the party requesting such termination or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. If and to the extent that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the party requesting such termination shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust. In the event of a termination without cause, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the party requesting such termination, or as otherwise set forth herein; provided that the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not bear any such costs and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Trustee is terminating the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement at the direction of any party or parties permitted to direct the Trustee to so terminate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall not have any liability for such expenses pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 7.03     Notification to Certificateholders and Retained Interest Owner. (a)  Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, any termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register (in the case of the Certificateholders) or, in the case of the Retained Interest Owner, as identified to the Certificate Administrator.

(b)          Not later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Termination Event and (ii) five (5) days after the Certificate Administrator would be deemed to have notice of the occurrence of such an event in accordance with Section 8.02(vii), the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to the Depositor and all Certificateholders and

 -372-

the Retained Interest Owner (and, if a Serviced Whole Loan is affected, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder) notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.

Section 7.04     Waiver of Servicer Termination Events. A Servicer Termination Event may be waived by the holders of Voting Rights, evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates (and, if such Servicer Termination Event is on the part of the Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan only, by the related Serviced Companion Noteholder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i) and clause (ii) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only with the consent of all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes and the Retained Interest Owner and any Serviced Companion Noteholder affected by such Servicer Termination Event, and (2) a Servicer Termination Event under clause (iii) or clause (xi) of Section 7.01(a) related to Exchange Act reporting may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor and any Serviced Companion Noteholder affected by such Servicer Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, any Certificates or the Retained Interest registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates or the Retained Interest.

Section 7.05      Trustee as Maker of Advances. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances and such failure remains uncured, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (x) within five (5) Business Days following such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Property Protection Advances resulting in a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(iii) hereof to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Property Protection Advances and (y) by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I Advances pursuant to the Certificate Administrator’s notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.03(a) unless such failure has been cured. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Master Servicer’s rights with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Property Protection Advance, as the case may be, (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Master Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Trustee, until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to

 -373-

reimbursement of the Master Servicer for such Advances. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or another Person, and accepted by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)          No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or bad faith; provided, however, that:

(i)          Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, and after the curing of all such Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

 -374-

(ii)          Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii)         Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of holders of Voting Rights evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights entitled to direct the Trustee and/or Certificate Administrator pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, under this Agreement (unless a higher percentage of Voting Rights is required for such action).

(d)          The Certificate Administrator shall make available via its internet website initially located at www.ctslink.com to the Serviced Companion Noteholders all reports that the Certificate Administrator has made available to Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner under this Agreement to the extent such reports relate to the related Serviced Companion Loan and upon the submission of an Investor Certification pursuant to this Agreement.

 -375-

or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event which has not been cured, to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

The reasonable expense of every such reasonable examination shall be paid by the requesting Holders;

(vi)         The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys; provided, however, that the appointment of such agents or attorneys shall not relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of its duties or obligations hereunder; provided, further, that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, may not perform any duties hereunder through any Person that is a Prohibited Party;

(vii)        For all purposes under this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have notice of any Servicer Termination Event or Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event or any act, failure or breach of any Person upon the occurrence of which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may be required to act unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event, act, failure or breach that is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee or the

 -376-

Certificate Administrator at the respective Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Certificates, the Retained Interest or this Agreement;

(viii)          Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for any act or omission of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (unless the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in which case the Trustee shall only be responsible for its own actions as Master Servicer or the Special Servicer), the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or of the Depositor;

(ix)            Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Trust Fund unless it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency;

(x)             In no event shall the Certificate Administrator or Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond the Certificate Administrator’s or Trustee’s control, including, but not limited to force majeure or acts of God;

(xi)            Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acting in any particular capacity hereunder will not be deemed to be imputed with knowledge of (a) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting in a capacity that is unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (b) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting in any other capacity hereunder, except, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), where some or all of the obligations performed in such capacities are performed by one or more employees within the same group or division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or where the groups or divisions responsible for performing the obligations in such capacities have one or more of the same Responsible Officers; provided, however, the knowledge of employees performing special servicing functions shall not be imputed to employees performing master servicing functions, and the knowledge of employees performing master servicing functions shall not be imputed to employees performing special servicing functions;

(xii)           Nothing herein shall require the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to act in any manner that is contrary to applicable law; and

The obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Companion Paying Agent shall terminate with respect to any Companion Loan to the extent (i) its related Serviced Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Trust Fund and (ii) no amounts payable by the related Companion Holder to or for the benefit of the Trust or any party hereto in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement remain due and owing.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the other parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which (A) the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Preliminary Statement. This purchase shall terminate the Trust and retire the then outstanding Certificates. In the event that the Master Servicer or the

 -390-

Special Servicer purchases, or the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account not later than the Master Servicer Remittance Date relating to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof payable to any Person other than the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05(a), which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account). In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred thereto on such Master Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution. Upon confirmation that such final deposits and payments have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund.

For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Directing Holder with the consent of the Holders of the Controlling Class, shall act on behalf of the Holders of the Controlling Class in purchasing the assets of the Trust and terminating the Trust.

Notice of any termination pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders, the Loan-Specific Directing Holder each Serviced Companion Noteholder and the 17g-5 Information Provider in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c) (who shall promptly post a copy of such additional notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c)) and, if not previously notified pursuant to this Section 9.01, to the other parties hereto mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates, or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the P&I Advance Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust will terminate and final payment of the Certificates will be made, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein designated.

ADDITIONAL REMIC PROVISIONS

Section 10.01     REMIC Administration.  (a)  The Certificate Administrator shall make elections or cause elections to be made to treat each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under Applicable State and Local Tax Law. Each such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Upper-Tier REMIC, each Class of the Regular Certificates and the Retained Interest shall be designated as the “regular interests” and the Class UR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC. For purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Lower-Tier REMIC, each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be designated as a class of “regular interests” and the Class LR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC. None of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any Trust REMIC other than the foregoing interests.

(b)         The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” (“Startup Day”) of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

(c)         The Certificate Administrator shall act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving either such REMIC and shall represent each such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ or accountants’ fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans, and any REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a) unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury Regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the “tax matters person” and as the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code, to the extent such provision is applicable to the Trust REMICs) of each Trust REMIC. By their acceptance thereof, the Holders of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Certificate Administrator as its agent to perform all of the duties of the “tax matters person” and “partnership representative” for the Trust REMICs.

(d)         The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file, or cause to be filed, all of the Tax Returns that it determines are required with respect to each Trust REMIC created hereunder, and shall cause the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign) such Tax Returns in a timely manner. The ordinary expenses of preparing such

 -393-

returns shall be borne by the Certificate Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor.

(e)         The Certificate Administrator shall provide or cause to be provided (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of such Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, or in the case of a Transfer to an agent thereof, to such agent, (ii) to the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service, Form 8811, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

(f)          The Certificate Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause the Trust to take such actions as are reasonably within the Certificate Administrator’s control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the Trustee shall assist the Certificate Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to do so. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property”) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Certificate Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Certificate Administrator determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust and the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner, at the expense of the Trust, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust or any Trust REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the Certificate Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, result in the imposition of such a tax (not including a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”). The Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Certificate Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. The Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Certificate Administrator will to the extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of each Trust REMIC as Qualified Mortgages and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(g)         In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on any Trust

 -394-

REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates and the Retained Interest Owner, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.01(g); provided that with respect to the estimated amount of tax imposed on any “net income from foreclosure property” pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local tax authority, the Special Servicer shall retain in the related REO Account a reserve for the payment of such taxes in such amounts and at such times as it shall deem appropriate (or as advised by the Certificate Administrator in writing), and shall remit to the Master Servicer such reserved amounts as the Master Servicer shall request in order to pay such taxes. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed by any Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust (other than as a consequence of a breach of its obligations under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Section 860F(a) of the Code or the amount of any taxable contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such prohibited transactions tax. To the extent that any such tax (other than any such tax paid in respect of “net income from foreclosure property”) is paid to the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state or local tax authorities, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Class R Certificates (as applicable) and shall distribute such retained amounts, (x) in the case of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, to the Upper-Tier REMIC to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses or Retained Interest Realized Losses, as applicable, arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest in the manner specified in Section 4.01(d) and (y) in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC, to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates and the Retained Interest in the manner specified in Section 4.01(a) and Section 4.01(b), to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses or Retained Interest Realized Losses, as applicable, arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class UR Interest. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement which breach constitutes willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence by such party.

(h)         The Certificate Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain or cause to be maintained books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC Provisions.

(i)          Following the Startup Day, neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC unless the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such Trust REMIC will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur.

 -395-

(j)          Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which the Trust or any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit the Trust or any Trust REMIC to receive any income from assets other than Qualified Mortgages or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(k)         Solely for the purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” by which the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each Class of Regular Certificates, the Retained Interest Balance of the Retained Interest and the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests would be reduced to zero is the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date.

(l)          None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust, (iii) the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or Article III of this Agreement) or acquire any assets for the Trust or any Trust REMIC or sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the applicable REO Account for gain unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition or substitution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has determined in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, cause the Trust or any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

(m)        The Certificate Administrator’s authority under this Agreement includes the authority to make, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to make, any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Section 6221 of the Code (or successor provisions) to any Trust REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by any Trust REMIC under Section 6225 of the Code (or successor provisions) of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any Holder of Class R Certificate, past or present.

 -419-

related Co-Lender Agreement), reasonably cooperate with the Mortgage Loan Seller (or such permitted transferee) selling any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan into a securitization that is required to comply with Regulation AB (a “Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization”) and, to the extent needed in order to comply with Regulation AB, provide to the Mortgage Loan Seller (or such permitted transferee) information about itself that the Mortgage Loan Seller reasonably requires to meet the requirements of Items 1117 and 1119 and paragraphs (b), (c)(3), (c)(4) and (c)(5) of Item 1108 of Regulation AB and shall reasonably cooperate with the Mortgage Loan Seller to provide such other information as may be reasonably necessary to comply with the requirements of Regulation AB.

Section 12.01     Asset Review.    (a)  On or prior to each Distribution Date, based on the CREFC^® Delinquent Mortgage Loan Status Report and/or the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File delivered by the Master Servicer for such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide notice to all Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner, the Controlling Class Representative and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner pursuant to this Article XII shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, by mailing such notice to the Certificateholders’ addresses appearing in the Certificate Register in the case of Definitive Certificates, by delivering such notice via the Depository in the case of Book-Entry Certificates and by mailing such notice to the Retained Interest Owner’s address (appearing, in the case of a Retained Interest Owner other than the Sponsor or its Majority Owned Affiliate, in the Certificate Administrator’s registry of ownership for the Retained Interest). The Certificate Administrator shall include in the Form 10-D relating to the reporting period in which the Asset Review Trigger occurred the following statement describing the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur: “As of the [Date of Distribution], the following mortgage loans identified below are 60 or more days delinquent and an Asset Review Trigger as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has occurred”. On each Distribution Date occurring after providing such notice to Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner, the Certificate Administrator, based on information provided to it by the Master Servicer, shall determine whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Mortgage Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Mortgage Loan and (3) whether an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver written notice of such information (which may be via e-mail) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit RR within two (2) Business Days of such determination to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer.

Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review evidencing at least a majority of the votes casts but in any event at least a majority of an Asset Review Quorum within 150 days of receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Controlling Class Representative, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Retained Interest Owner and the Certificateholders (the “Asset Review Notice”). Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request access to the Secure Data Room by providing the Certificate Administrator with a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit QQ (which shall be sent via e-mail to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s Website). Upon receipt of such certification, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (and in any case, within two (2) Business Days after such receipt) grant the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Secure Data Room. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder or Retained Interest Owner may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Mortgage Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Mortgage Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) an Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or an Asset Review Trigger is otherwise in effect, (C) the Certificate Administrator has timely received an Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) in this sentence and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within 150 days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) in this sentence.

Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote will be paid as an expense of the Trust from the Collection Account. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to administer any vote in connection with the foregoing through an agent.

(b)           (i)  Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Custodian (with respect to the following clauses (1) - (5) for Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to the following clause (6) and (7) for Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans), in each case to the extent in such party’s possession, shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days (except with respect to the following clause (7)) after receipt of such notice from the Certificate Administrator, provide, or make available, the following materials for each Delinquent Mortgage Loan (in electronic format) to the Asset Representations Reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files, any notice of a breach of a representation or warranty relating to any Delinquent Mortgage Loan received by the Asset Representations Reviewer from any other party to this Agreement, a copy of the Prospectus, a copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and a copy of this Agreement, the “Review Materials”):

 -426-

(1)          a copy of an assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, for each Delinquent Mortgage Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(2)          a copy of an assignment of any related assignment of leases (if such item is a document separate from the Mortgage) in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, related to each Delinquent Mortgage Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(3)          a copy of the assignment of all unrecorded documents relating to each Delinquent Mortgage Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, if not already covered pursuant to items (1) or (2) above;

(4)          a copy of all filed copies (bearing evidence of filing) or evidence of filing of any UCC Financing Statements related to each Delinquent Mortgage Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(5)          a copy of an assignment in favor of the Trustee of any financing statement executed and filed in the relevant jurisdiction related to each Delinquent Mortgage Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(6)          a copy of any notice previously delivered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of any alleged defect or breach with respect to any Delinquent Mortgage Loan; and

(7)          any other related documents that were entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan that are necessary in connection with the Asset Representations Reviewer’s completion of any Asset Review and that are that are reasonably requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer in the time frame and as otherwise described below.

(ii)           In addition, in the event that, as part of an Asset Review of any Delinquent Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials provided to it with respect to such Delinquent Mortgage Loan are missing any documents that are required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan or which were entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan that, in either case, are necessary in connection with its completion of any Test in connection with such Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Review Materials, notify the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans), as applicable, of such missing documents, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer, deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer such missing documents to the extent they are in its possession; provided that any such notification and/or request shall be in writing, specifically identifying the documents being requested and sent to the notice address for

 -427-

the related party set forth in Section 13.05 of this Agreement. In the event any missing documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, within such 10-Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the Mortgage Loan Seller; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, deliver such additional documents only to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Mortgage Loan Seller.

With respect to any Delinquent Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent any documents required by the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete a Test are missing or have not been received from the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such document(s) from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (if such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is being serviced by a Non-Serviced Master Servicer) or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer (if such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is being serviced by a Non-Serviced Special Servicer).

(iii)          The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider and rely upon information furnished to it by a Person that is not a party to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Seller, and shall do so only if such information can be independently verified (without unreasonable effort or expense to the Asset Representations Reviewer) and is determined by the Asset Representations Reviewer in its good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review (any such information, “Unsolicited Information”) conducted pursuant to this Section 12.01 hereof.

(iv)          Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence Files posted to the Secure Data Room with respect to a Delinquent Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Mortgage Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Mortgage Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Asset Review Standard and the procedures set forth on Exhibit PP (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in Exhibit PP if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard. Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review shall be required in respect of, or performed on, such Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Mortgage Loan or again become a Delinquent Mortgage Loan at a time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such new Asset Review Trigger.

 -428-

(v)           The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to review any information other than (x) the Review Materials or (y) if applicable, Unsolicited Information.

(vi)          The Asset Representations Reviewer may, absent manifest error and subject to the Asset Review Standard, (i) assume, without independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects and (ii) conclusively rely on such Review Materials.

(vii)         In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing documentation is not delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) to the extent in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession within 10 Business Days upon request described above, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall list such missing documents in a preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such documents shall be deemed to be a failure of such Test (“Preliminary Asset Review Report”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide such Preliminary Asset Review Report to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Mortgage Loan Seller no later than 60 days after the date on which access to the Diligence Files in the Secure Data Room is made available to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator. The Special Servicer, if applicable, may review such Preliminary Asset Review Report and determine whether any information contained in such Preliminary Asset Review Report shall be labeled as “Privileged Information” and thus be excluded from the Asset Review Report and Asset Review Report Summary. If the Preliminary Asset Review Report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have ninety (90) days from receipt of the Preliminary Asset Review Report (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. Any information and documents provided or explanations given to support the Mortgage Loan Seller’s claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or that any missing documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test shall be promptly delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to prepare a Preliminary Asset Review Report in the event the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that there is no Test failure with respect to the related Delinquent Mortgage Loan.

(viii)        The Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within the later of (x) sixty (60) days after the date on which access to the Diligence Files posted to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator or (y) (ten (10) days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period, complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Mortgage Loan and deliver (i) a report setting forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review

 -429-

and a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”) to each party to this agreement and the Mortgage Loan Seller and (ii) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional thirty (30) days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Delinquent Mortgage Loan and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the Mortgage Loan Seller, which, in each case, shall be a responsibility of the Enforcing Servicer, pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement.

(ix)           In addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any documentation that it requested from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Mortgage Loan Seller in sufficient time to allow the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete its Asset Review and deliver an Asset Review Report, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the documentation received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Mortgage Loan, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no responsibility to independently obtain any such documentation from any party to this Agreement.

(x)            Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall determine whether at that time, based on the Servicing Standard, there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that a Material Defect exists, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall enforce the obligations of the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Material Defect in accordance with Section 2.03.

(c)            The Asset Representations Reviewer shall keep any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders or the Retained Interest Owner), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement in an Asset Review Report or otherwise, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Asset Representations Reviewer with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall keep all documents received by the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with an Asset Review that are provided by the Mortgage Loan Seller, the

 -430-

Master Servicer and the Special Servicer confidential and shall not disclose such documents except (i) for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) if such documents become generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the Asset Representations Reviewer, (iii) if it is reasonable and necessary for the Asset Representations Reviewer to disclose such documents or information in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (iv) if such documents or information was already known to the Asset Representations Reviewer and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation and/or (v) if the Asset Representations Reviewer is required by law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to disclose such document.

(d)           The Asset Representations Reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 12.01; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (1) be affiliated with the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Asset Representations Reviewer alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Asset Representations Reviewer by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(e)           The Asset Representations Reviewer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement in connection with the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its asset representations reviewer portfolio, provided that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (A) is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to perform the duties of the asset representations reviewer resulting from a merger, consolidation or succession that is permitted under this Agreement, (B) executes and delivers to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an agreement that contains an assumption by such person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement and (C) is not be a prohibited party under this Agreement; (ii) the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation; (iii) the rate at which each of the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee and the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee (or

 -431-

any component thereof) is calculated may not exceed the rate then in effect and (iv) the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer will be required to be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each other party hereto and the Rating Agencies in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee will be required to provide notice to each party to this Agreement and then will be the successor Asset Representations Reviewer hereunder.

(f)            If any Serviced Companion Loan becomes the subject of a review of representations and warranties “asset review” (as such term or an analogous term is defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) conducted by an “asset representations reviewer” (within the meaning of Item 1101(m) of Regulation AB, and such party, the “Other Asset Representations Reviewer”) pursuant to each Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with each Other Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with such asset review by providing such Other Asset Representations Reviewer with any documents reasonably requested by the related Other Asset Representations Reviewer, but only to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be.

Section 12.02     Payment of Asset Representations Reviewer Fees and Expenses; Limitation of Liability.   (a)  As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), payable monthly from amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans and shall be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00025% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but not any Companion Loan and shall be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans.

(b)           Upon the completion of any Asset Review with respect to a Delinquent Mortgage Loan and within 60 days of receipt by the Mortgage Loan Seller of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee of (i) $15,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Mortgage Loan subject to an Asset Review with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance less than $20,000,000, (ii) $20,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Mortgage Loan subject to an Asset Review with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, but less than $40,000,000 or (iii) $25,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Mortgage Loan subject to an Asset Review with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance greater than or equal to $40,000,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”), which shall cover recurring and otherwise reasonably anticipated expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Mortgage Loan shall be paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, however, that if the Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent, such fee shall become an expense of the Trust following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of such insolvency; provided, further, that notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee shall remain an obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as

 -432-

applicable, shall be required to pursue remedies against the Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with the Servicing Standard in order to seek recovery of such amounts from the Mortgage Loan Seller or its insolvency estate.

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Mortgage Loan shall be included in the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review that is repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller to the extent such fee was not already paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price received shall be used to reimburse the Trust for such fees paid to the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 12.02(b).

(d)           The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement.

Section 12.03     Resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer.   The Asset Representations Reviewer may resign and be discharged from its obligations hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement and each Rating Agency. In addition, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall at all times be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, and shall resign if it fails to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer by giving written notice to the other parties to this Agreement. Upon such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. No resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer will be effective until a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer has been appointed and accepted the appointment. If no successor Asset Representations Reviewer shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will bear all costs and expenses of each other party hereto and each Rating Agency in connection with its resignation and the transfer of its duties.

Section 12.04     Restrictions of the Asset Representations Reviewer.  Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates or the Retained Interest; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer if the Asset Representations Reviewer and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Asset Representations Reviewer and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

Section 12.05     Termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer.  (a)  An “Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any

 -433-

judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

(i)            any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Trustee or to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee by the holders of Voting Rights having at least 25% of the Voting Rights;

(ii)           any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform in accordance with the Asset Review Standard in any material respect, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

(iii)          any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

(iv)          a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Asset Representations Reviewer, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days;

(v)           the Asset Representations Reviewer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Asset Representations Reviewer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(vi)          the Asset Representations Reviewer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of written notice of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section 12.01(a), unless the Certificate Administrator has received written notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has been remedied. If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event

 -434-

shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of Voting Rights evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer is required to bear all reasonable costs and expenses of itself and of each other party to this Agreement in connection with its termination due to an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event of which it becomes aware.

(b)           Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Voting Rights evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Asset Representations Reviewer with a proposed successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) payment by such holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Asset Representations Reviewer by mailing such notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section 12.01(a). Upon the written direction of holders of Voting Rights evidencing at least 75% of a Quorum (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination) by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer and appoint the proposed successor. As between the Asset Representations Reviewer, on the one hand, and the holders of Voting Rights, on the other, the holders of Voting Rights shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer. In the event that holders of Voting Rights evidencing at least 75% of a Quorum (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) elect to remove the Asset Representations Reviewer without cause and appoint a successor, the successor asset representations reviewer will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

(c)           On or after the receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of written notice of termination, subject to this Section 12.05, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Asset Representations Reviewer shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after (1) the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns pursuant to Section 12.03 of this Agreement or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee

 -435-

shall appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of an Asset Representations Reviewer to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative, the Directing Holder and each Certificateholder within one Business Day of such appointment.

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall at all times be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and if the Asset Representations Reviewer ceases to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall immediately resign under Section 12.03 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor asset representations reviewer subject to and in accordance with this Section 12.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor asset representations reviewer within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to identify and appoint a successor asset representations reviewer so long as the Trustee uses commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a search for a successor asset representations reviewer and such failure is not a result of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(d)           Upon any termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer and appointment of a successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner), the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder and each Rating Agency. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination).

To the extent that the Trustee is required to execute any document facilitating an assignment under this Section 13.11, such document shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class A-1 Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS Mortgage Securities Trust 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class A-1 Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each

 A-1-4

Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 A-1-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class A-1 Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner or the Companion Holders:

(i)         to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(v)        to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, any Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders or the Retained Interest Owner (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(vii)      to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Retained Interest Owner not consenting to such amendment or supplement, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;

(viii)     to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

(ix)        to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

(x)         to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered offerings to the extent provided in CFR 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv); or

(ii)        reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)       adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates or the Retained Interest without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or the RIO; or

(iv)       change in any manner any defined term used in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of the Mortgage Loan Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of the Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)       amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the

 A-1-8

portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero and after the expiration of the Retained Interest Transfer Restriction Period (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the Retained Interest)), the Sole Owner shall have the right, provided, the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the prime rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class A-2 Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-2 Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class A-2 Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each

 A-2-4

Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 A-2-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class A-2 Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner or the Companion Holders:

(i)         to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(i)         reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class or the Retained Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the Retained Interest Owner which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)        reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code.

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class A-3 Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-3 Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class A-3 Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each

 A-3-4

Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 A-3-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class A-3 Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(i)         reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class or the Retained Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the Retained Interest Owner which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)        reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the

 A-3-8

portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero and after the expiration of the Retained Interest Transfer Restriction Period (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the Retained Interest)), the Sole Owner shall have the right, provided, the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the prime rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class A-4 Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-4 Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class A-4 Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each

 A-4-4

Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 A-4-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class A-4 Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the

 A-4-8

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero and after the expiration of the Retained Interest Transfer Restriction Period (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the Retained Interest)), the Sole Owner shall have the right, provided, the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the prime rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-AB Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class A-AB Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each

 A-5-4

Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 A-5-5

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P.

Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class X-A Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Notional Amount of this Certificate immediately prior to each

 A-6-4

Distribution Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 A-6-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class X-A Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 initial Notional Amount, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Notional Amount of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner or the Companion Holders:

(i)          to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the

 A-6-8

portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero and after the expiration of the Retained Interest Transfer Restriction Period (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the Retained Interest)), the Sole Owner shall have the right, provided, the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the prime rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class X-B Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Notional Amount of the Class X-B Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class X-B Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Notional Amount of this Certificate immediately prior to each

 A-7-4

Distribution Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the

 A-7-8

portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero and after the expiration of the Retained Interest Transfer Restriction Period (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the Retained Interest)), the Sole Owner shall have the right, provided, the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the prime rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class X-D Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Notional Amount of the Class X-D Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class X-D Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Notional Amount of this Certificate immediately prior to each

 A-8-4

Distribution Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class X-D Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 initial Notional Amount, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Notional Amount of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

 A-8-7

(ii)          reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)        adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates or the Retained Interest without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or the RIO; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the

 A-8-8

portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero and after the expiration of the Retained Interest Transfer Restriction Period (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the Retained Interest)), the Sole Owner shall have the right, provided, the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the prime rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class A-S Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-S Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class A-S Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each

 A-9-4

Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 A-9-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class A-S Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner or the Companion Holders:

(i)          to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

 A-9-7

beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Mortgage Loan Seller, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially or adversely affect the Retained Interest Owner without the Retained Interest Owner’s consent.

(ii)          reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the

 A-9-8

portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero and after the expiration of the Retained Interest Transfer Restriction Period (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the Retained Interest)), the Sole Owner shall have the right, provided, the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the prime rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class B Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class B Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class B Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each

A-10-4 

Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-10-5 

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class B Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the

A-10-8

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class C Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class C Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class C Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each

A-11-4 

Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-11-5 

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class C Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Mortgage Loan Seller, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially or adversely affect the Retained Interest Owner without the Retained Interest Owner’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Retained Interest Owner (if affected by such amendment) and Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class or the RIO; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class or the Retained Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the Retained Interest Owner which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates or the Retained Interest without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or the RIO; or

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of the Mortgage Loan Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of the Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the Retained Interest Owner or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the

A-11-8 

portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero and after the expiration of the Retained Interest Transfer Restriction Period (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the Retained Interest)), the Sole Owner shall have the right, provided, the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the prime rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class X-C Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Notional Amount of the Class X-C Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class X-C Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Notional Amount of this Certificate immediately prior to each

A-12-4 

Distribution Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-12-5 

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class X-C Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 initial Notional Amount, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Notional Amount of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, the Retained Interest Owner or the Companion Holders:

(i)to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(v)to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, any Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders or the Retained Interest Owner (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person;

A-12-6

(xiii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class D Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class D Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class D

A-13-4 

Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in

A-13-5 

writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class D Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT RREF III-D AIV RR, LLC is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class E Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class E Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class E

A-14-4 

Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in

A-14-5 

writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class E Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero and after the expiration of the Retained Interest Transfer Restriction Period (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the Retained Interest)), the Sole Owner shall have the right, provided, the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the prime rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT RREF III-D AIV RR, LLC is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class F Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class F Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this

A-15-4 

Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-15-5

The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P.

A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class G Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class G Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount

A-16-4

equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Certificate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-16-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class G Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

A-16-8

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P.

A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class R Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2017-GS5, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-GS5 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

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

This Class R Certificate represents a “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the “tax matters person” pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code (to the extent such provision is applicable to the Trust REMICs) for each Trust REMIC, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby irrevocably appointed and shall perform all the duties of the “tax matters person” and the “partnership representative” of each Trust REMIC.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, distributions, if any, on this Certificate shall be made by the Certificate Administrator in an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) and to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Distribution Date to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

A-17-4

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Each Person who has or acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (A) no Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Disqualified Organization, a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person or any agent of either (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) (an “Agent”), or a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan (such Plan or Person, an “ERISA Prohibited Holder”) and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change to such status; (B) in connection with any proposed Transfer of any

A-17-5

Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Class R Certificate shall be registered until the Certificate Registrar receives, an affidavit substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is not a Disqualified Organization, a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person or any Agent of either, or an ERISA Prohibited Holder and that it agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (C) notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge or reason to believe that the proposed Transferee is a Disqualified Organization, a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person or any Agent of either, or an ERISA Prohibited Holder, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected; and (D) each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (1) not to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit and (2) not to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a letter substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-2 (a “Transferor Letter”) certifying that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed Transferee’s statements in such Transferee Affidavit are false.

The Class R Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of 10% and integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

A-17-8

Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero and after the expiration of the Retained Interest Transfer Restriction Period (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the Retained Interest)), the Sole Owner shall have the right, provided, the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the prime rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

17	The Cut-off Date Principal Balance of $25,000,000 represents the non-controlling note A-1 of a $210,000,000 whole loan co-originated by Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. evidenced by three pari passu notes. The controlling note A-2 with an outstanding principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $80,000,000 is currently held by Goldman Sachs and is expected to be contributed to one or more future securitization transactions. The non-controlling note A-3 with an outstanding principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $105,000,000 is currently held by Morgan Stanley and is expected to be contributed to one or more future securitization transactions. Cut-off Date LTV Ratio, LTV Ratio at Maturity, Underwritten NOI DSCR, Underwritten NCF DSCR, Debt Yield on Underwritten Net Operating Income, Debt Yield on Underwritten Net Cash Flow and Loan Per Unit calculations are based on the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of $210,000,000.
18	The Cut-off Date Principal Balance of $22,000,000 represents the non-controlling note A-2 of a $235,000,000 whole loan evidenced by two non-controlling senior pari passu notes and a controlling subordinate note B with an outstanding principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $113,000,000. The non-controlling note A-1, with an outstanding principal balance of $100,000,000, was contributed to the GSMS 2016-GS4 securitization transaction. Cut-off Date LTV Ratio, LTV Ratio at Maturity, Underwritten NCF DSCR, Debt Yield on Underwritten Net Operating Income, Debt Yield on Underwritten Net Cash Flow and Loan Per Unit calculations are based on the aggregate principal balance of the 225 Bush Street Senior Loans of $122,000,000.
19	The Upfront TI/LC Reserve and TI/LC Cap are $650,000. In the event that 75% of the tenants that have lease expirations in 2018 or 2019 renew for at least a 5-year term at or above current base rental rates, $250,000 will be credited back to the borrower so long as such funds are spent re-tenanting the Mortgaged Property, and the TI/LC Cap will then be equal to $400,000.
20	The Original Balance of $16,400,000 is inclusive of a $1,400,000 earnout reserve.
21	The Ongoing Replacement Reserve is an FF&E reserve in an amount equal to (i) $20,193 for the Due Dates occurring in February 2017 through January 2018, and (ii) thereafter the greater of (a) the monthly amount required to be reserved pursuant to the franchise agreement for the replacement of FF&E or (b) 1/12th of 5% of the operating income of the Mortgaged Property for the previous 12 month period as determined on the anniversary of the last day of the calendar month in December.
22	On each Due Date occurring in July, August, September and October of each calendar year, the borrower is required to deposit into the Seasonality Reserve Account an amount equal to $40,000.
23	The Ongoing Replacement Reserve is an FF&E reserve in an amount equal to (i) for the Due Dates which occur in February 2017 through January 2018, $6,958, (ii) for the Due Dates which occur in February 2018 through January 2019, 1/12th of 3% of the operating income of the Mortgaged Property for the previous 12 month period as determined on the anniversary of the last day of the calendar month in December, and (iii) thereafter, the greater of (a) the monthly amount required to be reserved pursuant to the franchise agreement for the replacement of FF&E or (b) 1/12th of 4% of the operating income of the Mortgaged Property for the previous 12 month period as determined on the anniversary of the last day of the calendar month in December.
24	Ongoing TI/LC Reserve for each Due Date from and including the Due Date in December 2016 through and including the Due Date in November 2021 is required to be $1,111. Ongoing TI/LC Reserve for each Due Date from and including the Due Date in December 2021 through and including the Maturity Date is required to be $3,333.
25	Beginning in February 2022, the borrower will be required to pay monthly TI/LCs of $2,141 per month, capped at $230,000. In lieu of escrowing these monthly amounts the borrower may post a letter of credit for $90,000.
26	On each Due Date, if and to the extent the amount contained in the TI/LC Reserve Account is less than the $175,000, the borrower is required to deposit into the TI/LC Reserve Account an amount equal to $2,370.

STATE OF	)
	)	ss.:
COUNTY OF	)

I, [______], under penalties of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete, and being first sworn, depose and say that:

1.             I am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

2.            The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) designated as the (i) “Lower-Tier REMIC” and (ii) “Upper-Tier REMIC”, respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

3.            The Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except

Exhibit D-1-1

for Freddie Mac, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, any international organization or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization which is exempt from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) an “electing large partnership”, as defined in Section 775 of the Code and (vi) any other Person so designated by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator based upon an Opinion of Counsel as provided to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (at no expense to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator) that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or any Person having an Ownership Interest in any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such Person. The terms “United States,” “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.

4.             The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.

5.             The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee and, to the extent applicable, the Purchaser’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is [__________].

6.             No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

7.             The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other person.

8.             Check the applicable paragraph:

☐            The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

(i)             the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;

(ii)            the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and

(iii)           the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.

Exhibit D-1-2

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.

☐            The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

(i)             the Purchaser is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

(ii)            at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

(iii)           the Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and

(iv)           the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.

☐            None of the above.

9.             The Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Class R Certificates as they become due.

10.           The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.

11.           The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is false.

Exhibit D-1-3

12.           The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.

13.           The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.

14.           The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.

15.           The Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the agent of the “tax matters person” and “partnership representative” of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”). The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and as Trustee, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:

(1)           No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

(2)           The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

(3)           The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable

Exhibit D-2-1

for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

Mortgage Loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) identified by loan number _____ on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and heretofore secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule by the following names:___________________ _____________________

 Exhibit U-1

Reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described above. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, we hereby:

(a) Notify you that the Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, of the type checked below:

____a full defeasance of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; or

____a partial defeasance of a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan that represents and, an allocated loan amount of $____________ or _______% of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan;

(b) Certify that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions set forth with explanatory notes on Exhibit A hereto, which exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standards, will have no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:

(i)          The Mortgage Loan documents permit the defeasance, and the terms and conditions for defeasance specified therein were satisfied in all material respects in completing the defeasance.

(ii)         The defeasance was consummated on __________, 20__.

(iii)        The defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) constitute “government securities” as defined in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (15 U.S.C. 80A1), (ii) are listed as “Qualified Investments for ‘AAA’ Financings” under Paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of “Cash Flow Approach” in Standard & Poor’s Public Finance Criteria 2000, as amended to the date of the defeasance, (iii) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity cannot vary or change, and (iv) are not subject to prepayment, call or early redemption.

(iv)        The Master Servicer received an opinion of counsel (from counsel approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

(v)         The Master Servicer determined that the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) that is a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in Standard & Poor’s Structured Finance Ratings Real Estate Finance Criteria, as amended to the date of the defeasance (the “S&P Criteria”)) or is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organization documents of the original Borrower with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose as of the date of the defeasance, and after the defeasance owns no assets other than the defeasance collateral and real property securing Mortgage Loans included in the pool.

 Exhibit U-2

(vi)        The defeasance documents require the crediting of the defeasance collateral to an Eligible Account (as defined in the S&P Criteria) in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, which account is maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary and has been pledged to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.

(vii)       The agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) grant control of the pledged securities account to Trustee on behalf of the Trust, (ii) require the securities intermediary to make the scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loan from the proceeds of the defeasance collateral directly to the Master Servicer’s collection account in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Mortgage Loan documents or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased, increased by any defeasance premium specified in the Mortgage Loan documents (the “Scheduled Payments”), (iii) permit reinvestment of proceeds of the defeasance collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the documents evidencing the defeasance), (iv) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment from the pledged securities account only after the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, if any such release is permitted, (v) prohibit transfers by the Defeasance Obligor of the defeasance collateral and subordinate liens against the defeasance collateral, and (vi) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral or other assets of the Defeasance Obligor of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor.

(viii)      The Master Servicer received written confirmation from a firm of independent certified public accountants, who were approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard stating that (i) revenues from the defeasance collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of the Scheduled Payments after the defeasance including the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) the revenues received in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Scheduled Payments within four (4) months after the date of receipt, and (iii) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any calendar or fiscal year will not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial defeasance) for such year.

(ix)        The Mortgage Loan is not among the ten (10) largest loans in the pool as of the date of the Current Report (as defined below). The entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of defeasance was less than both $[______] and five percent of pool balance, which is less than [__]% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates as of the date of the most recent Distribution Date Statement received by us (the “Current Report”).

(x)         The Master Servicer has received opinions of counsel stating that the Trustee on behalf of the Trust possesses a valid, perfected first priority security interest in

 Exhibit U-3

the defeasance collateral and that the documents executed in connection with the defeasance are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

(c)         Certify that Exhibit B hereto is a list of the material agreements, instruments, organizational documents for the Defeasance Obligor, and opinions of counsel and independent accountants executed and delivered in connection with the defeasance.

(d)         Certify that the individual under whose hand the Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed did constitute a Servicing Officer as of the date of the defeasance described above.

In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction calculations is limited to the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas, and as such, does not take into account the reasonableness of the discretionary portions of such formulas.

IV. Assumptions, Qualifications and Disclaimers Related to the Work Product Undertaken and Opinions Related to this Report

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Operating Advisor is not required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the special servicer’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial.

3. Other than the receipt of any Major Decision Reporting Package, the Operating Advisor did not participate in, or have access to, the Special Servicer’s and Directing Holder’s discussion(s) regarding any Specially Serviced Loan. The Operating Advisor does not have authority to speak with the Directing Holder directly. As such, the Operating Advisor relied solely upon the information delivered to it by the Special Servicer as well as its interaction with the Special Servicer, if any, in gathering the relevant information to generate this report. The services that we perform are not designed and cannot be relied upon to detect fraud or illegal acts should any exist.

Defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

[Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association (“Midland”)][Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC (“Rialto”)] understands that [____] (the “Company”) is requesting certain confidential or non-public information relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Company has continuing rights as a Certificateholder.

The Company acknowledges that the Confidential Information (a) includes or may be based upon information provided to [Midland][Rialto] by third parties, (b) may not have been verified by [Midland][Rialto], and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies.

[“Special Servicer”] (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and its Representatives (as defined below) shall not have any liability to the Company or its Representatives resulting from (x) any inaccuracies or omissions in the Confidential Information, (y) any use of the Confidential Information, or (z) [Midland][Rialto]’s failure or inability to provide the Confidential Information to the Company for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not constitute “Confidential Information” for purposes of this letter agreement: (a) information that was already in Company’s possession prior to its receipt from [Midland][Rialto]; (b) information that is obtained by Company from a third person who, insofar as is known to Company, is not prohibited from transmitting the information to Company by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to [Midland][Rialto]; (c) information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Company; and (d) information that is independently developed by Company. The term “Representatives” with respect to any entity shall mean the officers, directors, general partners, employees, agents, affiliates, auditors and legal counsel (which may be internal counsel) of that entity.

ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (“PSA”), the Asset Representations Reviewer (“Asset Representations Reviewer”) shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Seller only with respect to each Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth below (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in this Exhibit PP if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the PSA or, solely with respect to a representation and warranty, the meaning set forth in the related mortgage loan purchase agreement (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the performance of the following Tests:

(A) With respect to any representation and warranty that includes a knowledge qualifier (e.g., to the Seller’s knowledge, etc.), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be responsible for any investigation or review beyond that set forth in the applicable Test related to such representation and warranty;

(B) With respect to any representation and warranty that includes the examination of an insurance policy or title policy, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be permitted to engage a qualified consultant to perform a review of the applicable policy, and will be allowed to rely upon the conclusions of the consultant when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

(C) The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be under no duty to provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion;

(D) Unless otherwise provided in the Test, the “as of” date for the testing of a representation is as of the Closing Date;

(E) Unless otherwise provided in the Test, if there is more than one version of the same document with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, the document that will be used by the Asset Representations Reviewer in testing is the document that is dated as of the Closing Date or, if none, the document closest prior to the Closing Date;

(F) With respect to each representation and warranty and its related Test(s), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall take into account any exceptions to such representation and warranty described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan, and a Test pass shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such

Exhibit PP-1

Test if the sole reason for not satisfying the applicable Test is caused by such exception(s);

(G) Evidence of a failure of a Test could result from (i) an affirmative determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer that the Test failed to achieve a Test pass, or (ii) a determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer that the documentation included in the Review Materials (after making such request for any missing documents in the manner provided for in the PSA) is not sufficient to perform the Test; and

(H) A determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer of a Test pass or a Test failure shall not constitute a determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer of (i) the existence or nonexistence of a Material Defect, or (ii) whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Seller.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will only be required to perform the Tests described in this Exhibit PP, and will not be obligated to perform additional procedures on any Delinquent Loan. Notwithstanding the required Tests, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any information other than (1) Review Materials specified in the related Test and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information. The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider Unsolicited Information relevant to the Tests subject to the terms of the PSA. If the Asset Representations Reviewer considers Unsolicited Information, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall take into account such Unsolicited Information, in addition to the Review Materials referred to in the applicable Test(s) procedure when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

Exhibit PP-2

Representations and Warranties		Test	Review Materials
1.   Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan is a senior or pari passu portion of a whole loan evidenced by a senior or pari passu note. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Seller), participation or pledge, and the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, or similar agreement, any other pooling and servicing agreement with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and rights of the holder of a related Companion Loan pursuant to a Co-Lender Agreement. The Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan other than the rights of the holder of a related Companion Loan pursuant to a Co-Lender Agreement.	1a	Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a whole loan, review the amounts listed on the original Mortgage Note and Mortgage for an indication that they match the amounts listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. If the amounts are the same, then such Mortgage Loan would be considered a whole loan. If there is more than one property then the Mortgage for each Mortgaged Property would need to be aggregated. If identified as such, it will be a Test pass.	Mortgage; Mortgage Note; loan agreement related to the Mortgage Loan (“Loan Agreement”); Mortgage Loan guaranty; Assignment of Leases; and Environmental Indemnity Agreement (collectively, the “Mortgage Loan Documents”); Mortgage Loan Schedule.
	1b	If a Mortgage Loan is part of a whole loan, review the Co-Lender Agreement and the Mortgage(s), Mortgage Note, loan agreement related to the Mortgage Loan (“Loan Agreement”), Mortgage Loan guaranty, Assignment of Leases, and Environmental Indemnity Agreement (collectively, the “Mortgage Loan Documents”) for an indication that it is a senior or a pari passu portion of a whole loan. If identified as such, it will be a Test pass.	Mortgage Loan Documents; Co-Lender Agreement
	1c	Review any notice of a breach of a representation or warranty relating to any Delinquent Mortgage Loan received by any other party to the PSA (collectively, the “PSA Party Notices”) for notation of (i) any Mortgage Note or Mortgage that was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Seller), participation or pledge; (ii) that the Seller did not have good title to or was not the sole owner of Mortgage Loan; or (iii) any Mortgage Loan was not free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement, any other pooling and servicing agreement with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan and rights of the holder of a related Companion Loan pursuant to	PSA Party Notices

		a Co-Lender Agreement. If no such notation is found, it will be a Test pass.
	1d	Review the PSA Party Notices for notation of any claim or assertion regarding the Seller not having the full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer the Mortgage Loan. If such notation is not found, it will be a Test pass.	PSA Party Notices
	1e	Review the PSA Party Notices for notation of any claim or assertion regarding the assignment to the Depositor not constituting a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan other than the rights of the holder of a related Companion Loan pursuant to a Co-Lender Agreement. If such notation is not found, it will be a Test pass.	PSA Party Notices
2.   Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) that certain provisions in such Loan Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations	2a	Review the opinion of Mortgagor’s counsel (“Mortgagor’s Counsel Opinion”) for an indication that it contains language that the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as specified in representation and warranty 2.

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by the Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Loan Documents.		rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, Assignment of Leases (if a separate document) or other Mortgage Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission based on intentional fraud by the Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan Documents. If no such notation is found, it will be a Test pass.
3.   Mortgage Provisions. The Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.	3	Review the Mortgage Loan Documents and Mortgagor’s Counsel Opinion for an indication that the Mortgage Loan Documents contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications (as defined in representation and warranty 2). If such indication exists, it will be a Test pass.	Mortgage Loan Documents; Mortgagor’s Counsel Opinion
4.   Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty, and related Loan Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining	4a	Review the Mortgage Loan Documents and the PSA Party Notices for an indication that the material terms of such documents have been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File.

If no such indication is found, it will be a Test pass.	Loan Documents
	4c	Review the PSA Party Notices and Mortgage Loan Documents for notation that neither the related Mortgagor nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File. If no such notation is found, it will be a Test pass.	PSA Party Notices; Mortgage Loan Documents
5.   Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Assignment of Mortgage and Assignment of Assignment of Leases to the Issuing Entity constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to the Issuing Entity. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph (6) set forth on Exhibit C (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications.

Compare the amount of the Title Policy to the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount to confirm they are equivalent. If such evidence is found, it will be a Test pass.

6.   Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments due and payable but not yet delinquent; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same Crossed Mortgage Loan Group; and (g) if the related Mortgage Loan is part of a Whole Loan, the rights	6a	Review the Title Policy for an indication that it is an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or another comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction, and that the amount of the policy covers the amount of the Mortgage Loan or, for multiple properties, an amount equal to the allocated loan amount after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves). If such indications exist, it will be a Test pass.	Title Policy; Mortgage Loan Documents
	6b	Review the Title Policy for an indication that it insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the mortgage, and represents a first priority lien of the mortgage, which lien is subject only to clauses (a) through (g) of representation and warranty 6.

	6c	Review the Title Policy for an indication that, except as contemplated by clauses (f) and (g) of representation and warranty 6, none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage.

Except as contemplated by clauses (f) and (g) of the preceding sentence, none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller, nor to the Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.	6d	Review the Title Policy for an indication that the Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder.

	6e	Review the PSA Party Notices for notation that either the Seller, or to the Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

7.   Junior Liens.

Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2017, among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

(Terms used but not defined in this Preliminary
Statement shall have the meanings
specified in Article I hereof)

The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple classes which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator will elect that two segregated portions of the Trust Fund (other than the VRR Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets) be treated for federal income tax purposes as two separate REMICs (designated as the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, respectively). In addition, the parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the VRR Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets will be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E of Part I of subchapter J of the Code. Solely for federal income tax purposes, the VRR Interest, the Class V-2 Certificates and the Class V-3 Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the VRR Specific Grantor Trust Assets, and the Class S Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets.

The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of the Excess Interest) and will issue (i) 13 classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests (designated as the Class LA-1, Class LA-2, Class LA-3, Class LA-4, Class LA-AB, Class LA-S, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LG and Class LVRR Lower-Tier Regular Interests, respectively), each of which will constitute a class of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC, and (ii) the Lower-Tier Residual Interest, which will be the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC and will be evidenced by the Class R Certificates.

The following table sets forth the per annum rate at which interest will accrue on, and the original Lower-Tier Principal Balance of, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest:

Designation of Lower-Tier Regular Interest	Interest Rate	Original Lower-Tier Principal Balance
Class LA-1	(1)	$18,129,000
Class LA-2	(1)	$94,881,000
Class LA-3	(1)	$250,000,000
Class LA-4	(1)	$289,834,000
Class LA-AB	(1)	$49,088,000
Class LA-S	(1)	$71,447,000
Class LB	(1)	$45,124,000
Class LC	(1)	$47,631,000
Class LD	(1)	$57,659,000
Class LE	(1)	$27,576,000
Class LF	(1)	$10,028,000
Class LG	(1)	$41,363,974
Class LVRR	(1)	$22,556,995

(1) Each Lower-Tier Regular Interest will accrue interest at the WAC Rate in effect from time to time.

The Lower-Tier Residual Interest will not have a Lower-Tier Principal Balance, will not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges. Any Aggregate Available Funds remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account after all distributions deemed made on the Lower-Tier Regular Interests on any Distribution Date will be payable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Lower-Tier Residual Interest.

UPPER-TIER REMIC

The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and will issue (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F and Class G Certificates, each class of which evidences a class of “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC, (ii) the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest, which will be a class of “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC, (iii) the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates, each class of which evidences one or more classes of “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC, and (iv) the Upper-Tier Residual Interest, which will be the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC and will also be evidenced by the Class R Certificates.

The following table sets forth the approximate initial pass-through rate and the original Certificate Balance or, in the case of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates, original Notional Amount, as applicable, for each Class of Regular Certificates and for the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest:

Class G	4.668%	$41,363,974
Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest	(2)	$22,556,995

(1) The Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates will not have Certificate Balances; rather, each such Class of Certificates will accrue interest as provided herein on the related Notional Amount.

“Appraisal Reduction Amount”: For any Distribution Date and for any Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, if applicable) as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and an Appraisal Reduction Amount is required to be calculated, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the Stated Principal Balance of such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) as of the last day of the related Collection Period over (b) the excess of (i) the sum of (A) 90% of the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property or Properties (as determined by one or more Appraisals obtained by the Special Servicer (the cost of which shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance unless such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance)), minus such downward adjustments as the Special Servicer may make in accordance with the Servicing Standard (without implying any obligation to do so) based upon the Special Servicer’s review of the Appraisal and such other information as the Special Servicer may deem appropriate and (B) all escrows, letters of credit and reserves in respect of such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) as of the date of the calculation over (ii) the sum, as of the Due Date occurring in the month of the date of determination, of (A) to the extent not previously advanced by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, all unpaid interest on such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) at a per annum rate equal to its Mortgage Rate (and with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, interest on the related Serviced Companion Loan(s) at the related Mortgage Rate), (B) all unreimbursed Advances (which shall include, without limitation, (1) any Advances as to which the advancing party was reimbursed from a source other than the related Mortgagor and (2) any Unliquidated Advances), with interest thereon at the Advance Rate in respect of such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) and (C) all currently due and unpaid real estate taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and ground rents, unpaid Special Servicing Fees and all other amounts, due and unpaid with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) (which taxes, premiums, ground rents and other amounts have not been the subject of an Advance by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and/or for which funds have not been escrowed). Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event (or a longer period so long as the Special Servicer is (as certified thereby to the Trustee in writing) diligently and in good faith proceeding to obtain such), if an Appraisal has not been obtained within the immediately preceding nine (9) months (or if the Special Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard such Appraisal to be materially inaccurate), the Special Servicer shall obtain an Appraisal, the costs of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance). The Master Servicer shall provide (via electronic delivery) the Special Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to this definition using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within four (4) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s reasonable written request. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify Appraisal Reduction Amounts. On the first Determination Date occurring on or after the receipt of such Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall calculate or adjust, as applicable, the Appraisal Reduction Amount to take into account such Appraisal and such information, if any, reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer

-15-

reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Appraisal is required to be obtained in accordance with Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement but is not obtained within 120 days following the events described in the applicable clause of the definition “Appraisal Reduction Event” (without regard to the time periods stated therein), then, until such Appraisal is obtained and solely for purposes of determining the amounts of P&I Advances, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for or allocable to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan will equal 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of such related Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided that, upon receipt of an Appraisal, however, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) will be recalculated in accordance with this definition without regard to this sentence. With respect to each Serviced Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless the Serviced Loan has become a Corrected Loan (if a Servicing Transfer Event had occurred with respect to the related Serviced Loan) and has remained current for three consecutive Monthly Payments, and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred during the preceding three months), the Special Servicer shall, within 30 days of each anniversary of such Appraisal Reduction Event, order an Appraisal (which may be an update of the prior Appraisal) (the cost of which will be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Property Advance by the Master Servicer or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, no new or updated Appraisal will be required if the Serviced Loan or REO Property is under contract to be sold within 90 days of such Appraisal Reduction Event or anniversary thereof and the Special Servicer reasonably believes such sale is likely to close. Based upon such Appraisal or letter updates thereto, the Special Servicer shall determine and report to the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination), and each of those parties shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such determination by the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such Appraisal to the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, which shall be in electronic format. Each Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be adjusted with respect to the next Distribution Date to take into account any subsequent Appraisal and annual letter updates, as of the date of each such subsequent Appraisal or letter update.

Upon payment in full or liquidation of any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined, such Appraisal Reduction Amount will be eliminated. In addition, with respect to any Serviced Loan, as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, such Serviced Loan shall no longer be subject to the Appraisal Reduction Amount if (a) such Serviced Loan has become a Corrected Loan (if a Servicing Transfer Event had occurred with respect to the related Serviced Loan) and such Serviced Loan becomes and remains current for three consecutive Monthly Payments and (b) no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Serviced Loan.

Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination shall be allocated, first, to any related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (up to the outstanding principal balance thereof), and then, to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) on a pro rata and pari passu basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of such Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be the portion of any “appraisal reduction amount” relating to such Outside Serviced Loan Combination, that is calculated pursuant to the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement by the related Outside Special Servicer or related Outside Servicer, as applicable, and that is allocable to such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to such Outside Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement. The parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on such calculations as reported to them by the related Outside Servicer. By their acceptance of their Certificates, the Certificateholders shall be deemed to have acknowledged that the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement, taken together, provide that any such “appraisal reduction amount” will be calculated under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement by the applicable party thereto.

If an Appraisal Reduction Event occurs with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, then an Appraisal Reduction Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan(s). If an Appraisal Reduction Event occurs with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, then an Appraisal Reduction Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and any other Serviced Companion Loan(s) included as part of that Serviced Loan Combination. No Appraisal Reduction Event may occur at any time when the aggregate Certificate Balance of all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-AB Certificates) has been reduced to zero. The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer, as applicable, promptly upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events.

After the Depositor’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), the Depositor shall not take any action inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans.

(c)          The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that each Mortgage Loan Seller has covenanted in the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement that it shall record and file, or cause a third party on its behalf to record and file, at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, in the appropriate public recording office for real property records or UCC financing statements, as appropriate, each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases referred to in clause (4) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and each related UCC-3 assignment referred to in clause (15) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, in each case in favor of the Trustee. This subsection (c) shall not apply to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan because the documents referred to herein have been assigned to the related Outside Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan: (A) the instruments of assignment referred to in clauses (4), (5) and (14) in the definition of “Mortgage File” may be in blank and need not be recorded pursuant to this Agreement (to the extent recordation would have otherwise been required) until the earliest of (i) the related Servicing Shift Date, in which case such instruments shall be completed and, if applicable, recorded in accordance with the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of photocopies of any such instruments of assignment so completed and recorded to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, (ii) such Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the related Servicing Shift Date, in which case such assignments shall be completed and, if applicable, recorded in accordance with this Agreement upon such occurrence, and (iii) the expiration of 180 days following the Closing Date, in which case assignments shall be completed and, if applicable, recordations shall be effected in accordance with this Agreement upon such occurrence; and (B) following the related Servicing Shift Date and upon the transfer of servicing of the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan to the related Outside Servicing Agreement in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall deliver the originals of all documents constituting the related Mortgage File and any other related Loan Documents (if not a part of the related Mortgage File) in its possession (other than the documents described in clause (1) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) to the related Outside Trustee or the Outside Custodian; provided that, prior to the delivery of any such original documents to the related Outside Trustee or Outside Custodian, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall make and retain photocopies of any and all documents so delivered to the related Outside Trustee or the Outside Custodian; and provided, further, that, to the extent any instruments of assignment that are part of the Mortgage File have been recorded pursuant to this Agreement prior to the related Servicing Shift Date, the Trustee shall execute and deliver assignments to the Outside Trustee.

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has covenanted in the related Loan Purchase Agreement as to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), that if it cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (2), (3) and (6) (if recorded) and (15) of the definition of “Mortgage File” solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as applicable, a copy of the original certified by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or the title agent

-151-

to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording, shall be forwarded to the Custodian. Each assignment referred to in the prior paragraph that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC-3 assignment referred to in the previous paragraph shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording or filing office to the Custodian or its agent following recording (or, alternatively, to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, in which case the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of the recorded/filed original to the Custodian promptly following receipt); provided that, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall obtain and provide to the Custodian a certified copy of the recorded original. On a monthly basis, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Custodian shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of each of the aforementioned assignments following the Custodian’s receipt thereof.

If the Custodian has received written notice that any of the aforementioned assignments is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, then the Custodian shall direct the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement) promptly to prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure such defect or cause such defect to be cured, as the case may be, and to record or file, or with respect to any assignments that a third party on the Mortgage Loan Seller’s behalf has agreed to record or file as described above, to deliver to such third party the substitute or corrected document.

(d)          In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, except with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall direct the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to deliver to and deposit with (or cause to be delivered to and deposited with) the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date: (i) a copy of the Mortgage File; (ii) all documents and records not otherwise required to be contained in the Mortgage File that (A) relate to the origination and/or servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan(s), (B) are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the Mortgage Loans (including any related asset summaries that were delivered to the Rating Agencies in connection with the rating of the Certificates, material notices related to tenant leases, and any related operating statements, financial statements, appraisals or similar reports) or any related Serviced Companion Loans or for evidencing or enforcing any of the rights of the holder of the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loans or holders of interests therein, and (C) are in possession or under control of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; and (iii) all unapplied Escrow Payments and reserve funds in the possession or under control of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to such Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans, together with a statement indicating which Escrow Payments and reserve funds are allocable to each Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loan; provided that copies of any document in the Mortgage File and any other document, record or item referred to above in this sentence that, in each case, constitutes a Designated Servicing Document shall be delivered to the Master Servicer on or before the Closing Date; and provided, further, that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents, privileged or other related Mortgage Loan Seller communications, credit underwriting, due diligence analyses or data, or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations. The Master Servicer shall hold all such documents, records and funds on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, insofar as they

-152-

also relate to a Serviced Companion Loan, on behalf of and for the benefit of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.01(d) shall not apply to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans. In addition, each Mortgage Loan Seller is required, pursuant to the related Loan Purchase Agreement, to provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to its Mortgage Loans for (i) the CREFC® Financial File and the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File that are required to be prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Supplemental Servicer Schedule.

(e)          In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall deliver, and hereby represents and warrants that it has delivered, to the Custodian and the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, a fully executed original counterpart of each Loan Purchase Agreement, as in full force and effect, without amendment or modification, on the Closing Date.

(f)          With respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, the Custodian shall also hold the related Mortgage File for the use and benefit of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s).

(g)         The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree, with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, that the Trust assumes the obligations and rights of the holder of each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan under the respective Co-Lender Agreement and/or Outside Servicing Agreement.

(h)         It is not intended that this Agreement create a partnership or a joint-stock association.

(i)           The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that each Loan Purchase Agreement provides that: (1) within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan Seller is required to deliver or cause to be delivered the Diligence File for each of its Mortgage Loans to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence Files to the Designated Site; and (2) promptly upon completion of such delivery of the Diligence Files (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to provide to the Depositor (with a copy (which may be sent by email if and to the extent provided for in Section 12.04 of this Agreement) to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Controlling Class Representative, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor) an officer’s certificate signed by such Mortgage Loan Seller certifying that the electronic copies of the documents uploaded to the Designated Site constitute all documents required under the definition of “Diligence File” and such Diligence Files are organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably requested by the Depositor (the “Diligence File Certification”). The Depositor shall have no responsibility for determining whether any Diligence Files delivered to it are complete and shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for the failure of any Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver a Diligence File (or a complete Diligence File) to the Depositor.

(j)           Within 3 Business Days after the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the Master Servicer (a) the Initial Schedule AL File and the Initial Schedule AL Additional File

Section 2.02     Acceptance by the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator.

(a)          The Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby accepts receipt, directly or through the Custodian on its behalf, of (i) the Mortgage Loans and all documents delivered to it that constitute portions of the related Mortgage Files and (ii) all other assets delivered to it and included in the Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, and declares that it or the Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents and any other documents subsequently received by it that constitute portions of the Mortgage Files, and that the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee holds and will hold the Mortgage Loans and such other assets, together with any other assets subsequently delivered to it that are to be included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders pursuant to Section 2.01(f) of this Agreement. With respect to each Serviced Loan Combination, the Custodian shall also hold the portion of such Mortgage File that relates to the Serviced Companion Loan in such Loan Combination in trust for the use and benefit of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder. In connection with the foregoing, the Trustee, as the initial Custodian, hereby certifies to each of the other parties hereto, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, (i) all documents specified in clause (1) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession, and (ii) the original Note (or, if accompanied by a lost note affidavit, the copy of such Note) received by it with respect to such Mortgage Loan has been reviewed by it and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan.

(b)         On or about the 60^th day following the Closing Date (and, if any exceptions are noted, again on or about the 90^th day following the Closing Date and monthly thereafter until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the day on which all exceptions have been removed and (iii) the day on which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has repurchased or substituted for the last affected Mortgage Loan), the Custodian shall review the documents delivered to it with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and the Custodian shall, subject to Sections 2.01(c), 2.02(c) and 2.02(d) of this Agreement and the terms of the respective Loan Purchase Agreements, certify in writing (substantially in the form of Exhibit N to this Agreement) to each of the other parties hereto, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser (and upon request, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder) that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such certification, which exception report shall also be available in electronic format (including Excel-compatible format) upon request): (i) all documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), (5), (6) (provided that the Custodian has been notified of any related modification), (7), (15) and (20) (for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession; (ii) the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement has been completed (based solely on receipt by the Custodian (whether that is the Trustee or any other Custodian appointed by it) of the

-154-

particular recorded/filed documents); (iii) all documents received by the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed by the Custodian and (A) appear regular on their face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appear to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purport to relate to such Mortgage Loan; and (iv) based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.02(a) of this Agreement and this Section 2.02(b) and only as to the foregoing documents (together with any Loan Agreement that has been delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller), the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv) and (v)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects the information set forth in the Mortgage File. With respect to the items listed in clauses (2), (3), (4) and (6) of the definition of “Mortgage File” if the original of such document is not in the Custodian’s possession because it has not been returned from the applicable recording office, then the Custodian’s certification prepared pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) should indicate the absence of such original. In addition, as it relates to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, with respect to the items listed in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (15) and (20) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, the Custodian’s certification prepared pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) should indicate the absence of such document: (i) in the case of the item listed in clause (1) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, unless the Custodian is in possession of the original of such document; and (ii) in the case of the items listed in clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (15) and (20) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, unless the Custodian is in possession of a copy of such document. If the Custodian’s obligation to deliver the certifications contemplated in this subsection terminates because two years have elapsed since the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver (or cause any other Custodian appointed by it to deliver) a comparable certification to any party hereto, the Serviced Companion Loan Holder and any Underwriter and any Initial Purchaser on request.

(c)          It is acknowledged that none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian is under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Furthermore, none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.

(d)         The parties hereto hereby agree that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), (5), (6) (provided that the Custodian has been notified of any related modification), (7), (15) and (20) (for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been received, appear regular on their face and such additional information as will be necessary for delivering the certifications required by Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement, and 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 Files by the Custodian and any certification with respect thereto is not intended to, and shall not be deemed by the parties to this Agreement to, constitute

-155-

“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 Custodian’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 2.02(d) 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.

(e)          If, after the Closing Date, the Depositor comes into possession of any documents or records that constitute part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall promptly deliver such document to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer (if it constitutes part of the Servicing File).

Section 2.03     Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Repurchase, Substitution or Cures of Mortgage Loans for Document Defects in Mortgage Files and Breaches of Representations and Warranties.

(a)          If (i) any party hereto (other than the Asset Representations Reviewer) (A) discovers or receives notice alleging that any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File has not been properly executed, is missing, contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or does not appear to be regular on its face (each, a “Document Defect”) or (B) discovers or receives notice alleging a breach of any representation or warranty of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller made pursuant to Section 6(c) of the related Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan (a “Breach”) or (ii) the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Request, then such Person shall give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the other parties hereto, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If any such Document Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects, or any such Document Defect is deemed in accordance with Section 2.03(b) of this Agreement to materially and adversely affect, the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property (or any related REO Property) or the interests of the Trustee or any Certificateholder in the related Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property or causes any Mortgage Loan to fail to be a Qualified Mortgage, then such Document Defect shall constitute a “Material Document Defect” or such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach”, as the case may be. The Enforcing Servicer shall determine, with respect to any affected Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, whether a Document Defect is a Material Document Defect or a Breach is a Material Breach. If such Document Defect or Breach has been determined to be a Material Defect, then the Enforcing Servicer shall give prompt written notice to the other parties hereto, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (a) notifying such parties of the existence of such Material Defect and (b) demanding that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than 90 days from the earlier of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s (x) discovery of, and (y) receipt of notice of, and receipt of a demand to take action with respect to, such Material Defect (or, in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage

-156-

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

-157-

Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt. From and after the date of substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if any, that has been substituted shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes. No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 2.03(a) if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan that had replaced a prior Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure (including by the making of a Loss of Value Payment pursuant to the following paragraph) of the relevant Material Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(a), in lieu of the related Mortgage Loan Seller performing its obligations with respect to any Material Defect as set forth in the preceding paragraph, to the extent that such Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer (subject to the consent of the Controlling Class Representative so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan), are able to agree upon a cash payment payable by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Trust that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the Trust for such Material Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), such Mortgage 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 3.06(c) of this Agreement; provided that a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. In connection with the Enforcing Servicer’s reaching an agreement with a Mortgage Loan Seller as to a Loss of Value Payment, the Master Servicer shall, upon the Enforcing Servicer’s request, promptly provide the Enforcing Servicer with a copy of the Servicing File for such Mortgage Loan and any other information relating to such Mortgage Loan and reasonably requested by the Enforcing Servicer. Any agreement by the Enforcing Servicer with a Mortgage Loan Seller as to any Loss of Value Payment with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan shall be subject to the consent of the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan). 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 and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to any Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. Upon its making a Loss of Value Payment, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured the subject Material Defect 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 regarding any such Material Defect in respect of which such Loss of Value Payment is accepted, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Defect. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer, provided that, prior to any such agreement or settlement, nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Enforcing Servicer, as applicable, from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and within the time frames set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan).

-158-

If (x) a Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above (a “Defective Mortgage Loan”), (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Material Defect as to the other Mortgage Loan(s) that are a part of such Cross-Collateralized Group (the “Other Crossed Loans”) (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Defect as to each such Other Crossed Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such Other Crossed Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such Breach or Document Defect, as applicable:

(A) the related Mortgage Loan Seller (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Mortgage Loan Seller’s repurchase or replacement of only the Mortgage Loan(s) as to which a Material Defect has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 2.03(a) (i) will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding and (ii) will not result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code); and

(B) each of the following conditions would be satisfied if the related Mortgage Loan Seller were to repurchase or replace only the Affected Loans and not the Other Crossed Loans:

(1) the debt service coverage ratio for such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the lesser of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A to the Prospectus and (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement;

(2) the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A to the Prospectus plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and

(3) either (x) the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group will not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group or (y) the Loan Documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans have been modified in a manner that complies with the related Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement and that removes any threat of impairment of the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group as a result of the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group.

The determination of the Enforcing Servicer as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error on the Certificateholders, other parties to this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Seller. The Enforcing Servicer will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller to cause to be delivered, to the Enforcing Servicer an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (B)(2) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).

With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan that forms a part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and as to which the conditions described in the second preceding paragraph are satisfied, such that the Trust Fund will continue to hold the Other Crossed Loans, the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Trustee, as successor to the Depositor, are bound by an agreement (set forth in the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan(s) still held by the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf. If the exercise of remedies by one such party would impair the ability of the other such party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan or the Other Crossed Loans, as the case may be, held by the other such party, then both parties have agreed to forbear from exercising such remedies unless and until the Loan Documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing any of the Mortgage Loans that form a Cross-Collateralized Group shall be allocated between such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Loan Documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. All other terms of the related Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on all future holders of each Mortgage Loan that forms part of a Cross-Collateralized Group.

To the extent necessary and appropriate, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall execute (pursuant to a limited power of attorney provided by the Trustee that

-160-

enables the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to execute) the modification of the Loan Documents that complies with the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment of the ability of the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Trust Fund to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan(s) held by such party resulting from the exercise of remedies by the other such party; provided that the Trustee shall not be liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or any of its agents or subcontractors. The Master Servicer shall advance all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group pursuant to this paragraph and the first, second and third preceding paragraphs, and such advances and interest thereon shall (i) constitute and be reimbursable as Property Advances and (ii) be included in the calculation of Purchase Price for the Affected Loan(s) to be repurchased or replaced. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable to any Certificateholder or any other party hereto if a modification of the Loan Documents described above cannot be effected for any reason beyond the control of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or should not be effected as determined by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given and which withdrawal is by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”), such party shall give written notice of such Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any Serviced Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan that was subject of a Repurchase Request has been repurchased or replaced (a “Repurchase”), or that such Repurchase Request has been rejected (a “Repurchase Request Rejection”), then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall (in accordance with the following paragraph) give written notice of such Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the other such party, the Depositor, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (unless it is the entity that has repurchased or replaced the subject Mortgage Loan or rejected such Repurchase Request), and the Certificate Administrator (in each case unless the proposed recipient is the party that notified the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, thereof).

Each notice of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection required to be given by a party pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (each, a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”) shall be given no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, and shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan and the Person making the Repurchase Request, (ii) the date that the Repurchase Communication regarding the Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection was received, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) and (iv) in the case of Rule 15Ga-1 Notices provided by the Special Servicer with respect to a Repurchase

-161-

Request, a statement as to whether the Special Servicer currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.

If the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, a Repurchase or a Repurchase Request Rejection, then such party shall promptly forward such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Special Servicer and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a Repurchase Communication regarding [a “Repurchase Request”] [a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”] [a “Repurchase”] [a “Repurchase Request Rejection”] under Section 2.03(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2017-P7, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-P7, requiring action by you as the recipient of such [Repurchase Request] [Repurchase Request Withdrawal] [Repurchase] [Repurchase Request Rejection] thereunder”. Upon receipt of any Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to be the recipient of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, and the Special Servicer shall comply with the notice procedures set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.03(a) with respect to such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection.

No Person that is required to provide a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) shall be required to provide any information in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. Each Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any Rule 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) is so provided only to assist the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) by a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to the related Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice.

On or before the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the Master Servicer a copy of each Loan Purchase Agreement, which the Master Servicer shall provide to each Sub-Servicer.

(b)         Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement, failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the documents referred to in clauses (1), (2), (7), (8), (18) and (19) in the definition of “Mortgage File” in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement for any Mortgage Loan shall be deemed

-162-

a Material Document Defect; provided, however, that no Document Defect (except a deemed Material Document Defect described above) shall be considered to be a Material Document Defect unless the document with respect to which the Document Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation.

(c)          In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for, a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the applicable repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the applicable repurchasing entity evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents (including, without limitation, the Servicing File), and all Escrow Payments and reserve funds, pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee or as otherwise reasonably requested to effect the retransfer and reconveyance of the Mortgage Loan and the security thereof to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and/or and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase or substitution have been satisfied. The Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, the endorsements and assignments contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), and such other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to transfer title to an REO Property (including with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) in connection with the repurchase of, or substitution for, an REO Mortgage Loan and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any powers of attorney necessary to permit the Master Servicer to do so; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or any of its agents or subcontractors. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the related Loan Purchase Agreement provides that in the event a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the related Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and to the Master Servicer all Escrow Payments and reserve funds pertaining to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan possessed by it and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in this Agreement.

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the related Loan Purchase Agreement provides that if any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the related Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule (as such term is defined in the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to reflect the removal of any deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Qualified

-163-

Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule (as such term is defined in the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to the parties to this Agreement. Upon any substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a deleted Mortgage Loan, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

(d)         The related Loan Purchase Agreement provides the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, respecting any Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(e)          The parties to this Agreement acknowledge, with respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, that the related Loan Purchase Agreement provides that if a “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Outside Servicing Agreement) exists under the related Outside Servicing Agreement with respect to the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan that is included in the Outside Securitization Trust established under the related Outside Servicing Agreement, and such Outside Serviced Companion Loan is repurchased by or on behalf of the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or other responsible repurchasing entity) from such Outside Securitization Trust as a result of such “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in such Outside Servicing Agreement), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to repurchase such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such repurchase obligation does not apply to any “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Outside Servicing Agreement) related solely to the promissory note for such Outside Serviced Companion Loan.

(f)          (i) In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to a party to this Agreement that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller alleging the existence of a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “Certificateholder Repurchase Request”), such party shall promptly forward that Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the Enforcing Servicer, and the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly forward that Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement.

(ii)          In the event that any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) determines that a Mortgage Loan should be repurchased or replaced due to a Material Defect, or has knowledge of a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, then such party shall deliver prompt written notice of such Material Defect to the Enforcing Servicer identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “PSA Party Repurchase Request”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the first sentence of this clause (ii) or any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee may, but is not obligated to, make a determination that a Mortgage Loan should be repurchased or replaced due to a Material Defect. The Enforcing Servicer shall promptly forward such PSA Party Repurchase Request to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement. Subject to subsections (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k) of this Section 2.03, the Enforcing Servicer shall act as the Enforcing Party and enforce the rights of the Trust against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to each Repurchase Request. The Enforcing Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the Mortgage

-164-

Loan Sellers under the Loan Purchase Agreements (including, without limitation, obligations resulting from a Material Defect) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Purchase Agreements. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, if any, shall be carried out in such form, to such extent and at such time as the Enforcing Servicer would require were it, in its individual capacity, the owner of the affected Mortgage Loan, and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Any costs incurred by the Enforcing Servicer with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to be Property Advances, to the extent not recovered from the Mortgage Loan Seller or the applicable Requesting Certificateholder and/or Consultation Requesting Certificateholder.

(iii)         In the event the Repurchase Request is not Resolved within 180 days after the Mortgage Loan Seller receives the Repurchase Request (a “Resolution Failure”), then the provisions described in Section 2.03(g) below shall apply. Receipt of the Repurchase Request shall be deemed to occur two (2) Business Days after the Repurchase Request is sent to the related Mortgage Loan Seller in a commercially reasonable manner. The fact that a Repurchase Request has been Resolved pursuant to clause (vi) of the definition of “Resolved” shall not preclude the Enforcing Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the related Loan Purchase Agreement or as provided by law.

(g)         (i) After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or by a party to this Agreement), the Enforcing Servicer shall send a notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, to the address specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to the Certificate Administrator who shall make such notice available to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but a Requesting Certificateholder does not agree with the course of action selected by the Enforcing Servicer and, in the case of clause (a) or (b), a Requesting Certificateholder wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration, if any, then a Requesting Certificateholder may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 30 days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice was posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the 30th day following the date of posting, the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration. In addition, any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver, prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, a written notice (a “Consultation Election Notice”) requesting the right to participate in any Dispute Resolution Consultation (as defined in clause (iii) below) that is conducted by the Enforcing Servicer following the Enforcing

-165-

Servicer’s receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice as provided in clause (iii) below.

(ii)          If no Requesting Certificateholder delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, then no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have the right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer shall be the sole party obligated and entitled to determine a course of action, including, but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.09.

(iii)         Promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice from a Requesting Certificateholder, the Enforcing Servicer shall consult with each Requesting Certificateholder regarding such Requesting Certificateholder’s intention to elect either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request, and with any Consultation Requesting Certificateholder (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Certificateholder and such Consultation Requesting Certificateholder may consider the views of the Enforcing Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date. The Enforcing Servicer shall be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard relating to the timing and extent of such consultations. No later than five (5) Business Days after completion of the Dispute Resolution Consultation, a Requesting Certificateholder or a Consultation Requesting Certificateholder may provide a final notice to the Enforcing Servicer indicating its decision to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration (“Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice”).

(iv)        If, following the Dispute Resolution Consultation, no Requesting Certificateholder or Consultation Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer shall be the sole party obligated and entitled to determine a course of action including, but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Holder.

(v)         If a Requesting Certificateholder or Consultation Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such Requesting Certificateholder or Consultation Requesting Certificateholder shall become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration. If more than one Requesting Certificateholder or Consultation Requesting Certificateholder timely deliver a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders and/or Consultation Requesting Certificateholders shall collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting

-166-

Certificateholders and/or Consultation Requesting Certificateholders shall be entitled to make all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration (including whether to refer the matter to mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration). If, however, no Requesting Certificateholder or Consultation Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then (i) the rights of any Requesting Certificateholder or Consultation Requesting Certificateholder to act as the Enforcing Party shall terminate and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer will take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Material Defect shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the related Loan Purchase Agreement, provided, however, that such Material Defect will not be deemed waived with respect to the Enforcing Servicer to the extent there is a material change from the facts and circumstances known to it at the time when the Proposed Course of Action Notice was delivered by the Enforcing Servicer, and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Enforcing Servicer shall be the sole party obligated and entitled to determine a course of action including, but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

(vi)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this Section 2.03(g) shall not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer shall be the sole party entitled to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.

(vii)       In the event a Requesting Certificateholder or Consultation Requesting Certificateholder becomes the Enforcing Party, the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall remain a party to any proceedings against the related Mortgage Loan Seller as further described herein.

(viii)      For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Depositor, any Mortgage Loan Seller nor any of their respective affiliates shall be entitled to be a Requesting Certificateholder or Consultation Requesting Certificateholder.

(ix)        The Requesting Certificateholders or Consultation Requesting Certificateholders are entitled to elect either mediation or arbitration with respect to a Repurchase Request in their sole discretion; provided, however, no Requesting Certificateholder or Consultation Requesting Certificateholder shall be entitled to then utilize the alternative method in the event that the initial method is unsuccessful, and no other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall be entitled to elect either arbitration or mediation in the event a mediation or arbitration is undertaken with respect to such Repurchase Request.

-167-

(h)          If the Enforcing Party selects mediation (including non-binding arbitration), the following provisions shall apply:

(i)           The mediation shall be administered by a nationally recognized mediation organization selected by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller within 30 days of receipt of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection of mediation (such provider, the “Mediation Services Provider”) in accordance with published mediation procedures (the “Mediation Rules”) promulgated by the Mediation Services Provider.

(ii)          The mediator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least fifteen (15) years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Mediation Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential qualified mediators by the Mediation Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference. The Mediation Services Provider shall select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)         Prior to accepting an appointment, the mediator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule.

(iv)        The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct an organizational conference to begin the mediation within 10 Business Days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within 60 days thereafter.

(v)         The expenses of any mediation shall be allocated among the parties to the mediation including, if applicable, between the Enforcing Party and the Enforcing Servicer, as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation (any such expenses allocated to the Enforcing Servicer shall be reimbursed as provided in clause (vi) below).

(vi)        Out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Enforcing Servicer for mediation or arbitration, to the extent not agreed to be paid by the Enforcing Party or another party (in the case of mediation) or allocated to the Enforcing Party or another party (in the case of arbitration), shall be reimbursable as expenses of the Trust Fund payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement.

(i)           If the Enforcing Party selects third-party arbitration, the following provisions will apply:

(i)           The arbitration shall be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration organization selected by the related Mortgage Loan Seller within 30 days of receipt of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection of third-party arbitration (such provider, the “Arbitration Services Provider”) in accordance with published arbitration procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”) promulgated by the Arbitration Services Provider.

-168-

(ii)          The arbitrator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Arbitration Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential arbitrators by the Arbitration Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within 14 days and to rank the remaining potential arbitrators in order of preference. The Arbitration Services Provider will select the arbitrator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)         Prior to accepting an appointment, the arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule.

(iv)         After consulting with the parties at an organizational conference held not later than 10 Business Days after its appointment, the arbitrator shall devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within 120 days. The arbitrator shall have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for non-jury matters (the “Rules”) (including summary judgment and other prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so by reasoned decision on the motion of any party to the arbitration.

(v)         Notwithstanding whatever other discovery may be available under the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party to the arbitration will be presumptively limited to the following discovery in the arbitration: (A) the parties shall reasonably and in good faith voluntarily produce to all other parties all documents upon which they intend to rely and all documents they reasonably and in good faith believe to be relevant to the claims or defenses asserted by any of the parties, (B) party witness depositions (excluding Rule 30b-6 witnesses), and (C) expert witness depositions, provided that the arbitrator shall have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitrator determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.

(vi)        The arbitrator shall make its final determination no later than 30 days after the conclusion of the hearings and submission of any post-hearing submissions. The arbitrator shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, and may not modify or change those agreements in any way or award remedies not consistent with those agreements. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them. Interest on any monetary award shall bear interest from the date of the Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice at the Prime Rate. In its final determination, the arbitrator shall determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties to the arbitration as determined by the arbitrator in its reasonable discretion. The determination of the arbitrator shall be by a

-169-

reasoned decision in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The final determination of the arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or state law, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(vii)        By selecting arbitration, the Enforcing Party is waiving its right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

(viii)       No person may bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration.

(j)           The following provisions will apply to both mediation and third-party arbitration:

(i)           Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York unless another location is agreed by all parties;

(ii)          If the dispute involves a matter that cannot effectively be remedied by the payment of damages, or if there be any dispute relating to arbitration or the arbitrators that cannot be resolved promptly by the arbitrators or the Arbitration Services Provider, then any party in such instance may during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings seek temporary equitable remedies, pending the final decision of the arbitration panel, solely by application in the Southern District of New York if such court shall have subject matter jurisdiction, or if the Southern District of New York has no jurisdiction, then the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York. The arbitration proceedings shall not be stayed unless so ordered by the court.

(iii)         The details and/or existence of any Repurchase Request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 2.03, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to informally resolve any Repurchase Request, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 2.03). Such information will be kept strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed or shared with any third party (other than a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 2.03), except as otherwise required by law, regulatory requirement or court order. If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient shall promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and shall provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

The Master Servicer shall be responsible for paying the servicing fees of any Sub-Servicer retained by it.

In such event, the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein (but not any liabilities or obligations in respect of acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to such deemed assumption) and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to such Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer, as applicable, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement that accrued prior to the succession of the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer, as applicable.

(f)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) at no time shall the Master Servicer or the Trustee be required to make any P&I Advance on any Companion Loan and (b) if the Mortgage Loan (or the related REO Property) that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination is no longer part of the Trust Fund, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have any obligation to make any Property Advance on such Serviced Loan Combination. If pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Master Servicer does not intend to make a Property Advance with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination that the Master Servicer would have made if the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property were still part of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan of its intention to no longer make such Property Advances and shall additionally promptly notify such holder of any required Property Advance it would have otherwise made upon becoming aware of the need for such Property Advance.

The parties further recognize the respective rights and obligations of the related Outside Trustee and/or the Outside Serviced Companion Loan Holders (or the representatives thereof) under each respective Co-Lender Agreement including with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of an Outside Serviced Loan Combination in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, in connection with the enforcement of the rights by the Trustee (as holder of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) under each related Co-Lender Agreement and each applicable Outside Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, (under the power of attorney granted by the Trustee) shall take such actions as it shall deem reasonably necessary to facilitate the servicing of each Outside Serviced Companion Loan by the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Special Servicer, including, but not limited to, delivering appropriate requests for release to the Custodian (if any) in order to deliver any portion of the related Mortgage Files to the related Outside Servicer or related Outside Special Servicer under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement.

To the extent that the Trust, as holder of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders, is entitled to (i) consent to or approve any modification, waiver or amendment of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or (ii) exercise any consultation rights with respect to “Major Decisions” or “Material Actions” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement) in connection with such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property or any consultation rights with respect to the implementation of “Asset Status Reports” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement), then the following party or parties (to the extent notified by the appropriate party to the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement of any matter requiring the exercise of consent, approval or consultation rights) shall actually exercise such consent, approval or consultation rights, and the respective parties to this Agreement shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to allow the following party or parties to exercise such consent, approval or consultation rights: (a) the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Control Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan) or the Special Servicer (if a Control Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan) shall exercise any such consent or approval rights, in each case in accordance with Section 3.01(i); and (b) the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan) or the Special Servicer (if a Consultation Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan) shall exercise any such consultation rights entitled to be exercised by the holder of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.01(i). The Master Servicer shall only be obligated to forward any requests received from the Outside Servicer or the Outside Special Servicer, as applicable, for such consent and/or consultation to the Special Servicer (who shall forward any such request to the Controlling Class Representative except if a Control Termination Event or Consultation

-191-

Termination Event, as applicable, has occurred and is continuing or if such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer shall have no right or obligation to exercise any such consent or consultation rights.

Outside Serviced Loan Combination, the parties hereto recognize the respective rights and obligations of the related Outside Serviced Loan Combination Noteholders under the related Co-Lender Agreement, including with respect to the allocation of collections and losses on or in respect of the related Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan(s) and the making of payments to the related Outside Serviced Loan Combination Noteholders in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement and the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement. The parties hereto further acknowledge that, pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement, each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan(s) are to be serviced and administered by the related Outside Servicer and Outside Special Servicer in accordance with the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, and that payments allocated to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Outside Serviced Companion Loans pursuant to the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement are to be made by related Outside Servicer. Although each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is not serviced and administered hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer hereunder for each such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan shall have certain duties as set forth herein and shall constitute the “Master Servicer” and “Special Servicer” hereunder with respect to each such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan.

If there are at any time amounts due from the Trust, as holder of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any party under the related Co-Lender Agreement or the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall pay such amounts out of the Collection Account. If a party to the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan requests the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian to consent to, or consult with respect to, a modification, waiver or amendment of, or other loan-level action related to, such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan (except a modification, waiver or amendment of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement or the related Co-Lender Agreement which shall not be subject to the operation of this sentence but shall instead be subject to the operation of the provisions below in this paragraph), the party hereto that receives such request shall (but in the case of the Master Servicer subject to the limitation that it shall only be required to deliver any such request to the Special Servicer) promptly deliver a copy of such request to the Controlling Class Representative (if no Control Termination Event (in the case of consent rights) or Consultation Termination Event (in the case of consultation rights) exists and such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Mortgage Loan) or to the Special Servicer (if a Control Termination Event (in the case of consent rights) or Consultation Termination Event (in the case of consultation rights) exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan), as applicable, and (a) any such consent rights shall be exercised by the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Control Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan) or by the Special Servicer (if a Control Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan) and (b) any such consultation rights shall be exercised by the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan) or by the Special Servicer (if a Consultation Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan); provided, that if such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan were serviced hereunder and such action would not be permitted without Rating Agency Confirmation, then the Controlling Class Representative or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not exercise any such right of consent without first having obtained (or having caused the related Outside Servicer or Outside Special

-193-

Servicer to obtain) or received such Rating Agency Confirmation (payable at the expense of the party making such request for consent or approval if such requesting party is a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, and otherwise from the Collection Account). If a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian receives actual notice of a termination event under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, then the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, shall notify the Master Servicer (in writing), and the Master Servicer shall act in accordance with the instructions of (prior to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event) the Controlling Class Representative in accordance with the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement with respect to such termination event (provided that the Master Servicer shall only be required to comply with such instructions if such instructions are in accordance with the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and not inconsistent with this Agreement); provided that, if such instructions are not provided within a reasonable time period (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days or such lesser response time as is afforded under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement) or if a Control Termination Event exists or if the Master Servicer is not permitted by the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement to follow such instructions, then the Master Servicer shall take such action or inaction (to the extent permitted by the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement), as directed in writing by the Holders of the Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the aggregate of all Voting Rights (such direction to be sought and communicated to the Master Servicer by the Certificate Administrator) within a reasonable period of time that does not exceed such response time as is afforded under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, during the continuation of any termination event with respect to the related Outside Servicer or Outside Special Servicer under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take all actions to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Trust (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, or the Trustee in connection with such enforcement shall be paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account. If the Trustee receives a request (and, if the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator receives such request, such party shall promptly forward such request to the Trustee) from any party to the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement for consent to or approval of a modification, waiver or amendment of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement, or the adoption of any servicing agreement that is the successor to and/or in replacement of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement in effect as of the Closing Date or a change in servicer under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, then the Trustee is hereby directed to, and the Trustee shall, grant such consent or approval if (a) the Trustee shall have received a prior Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (payable at the expense of the party making such request for consent or approval to the Trustee, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, and otherwise from the Collection Account) with respect to such consent or approval, and (b) unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or the related Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall have obtained the consent of the Controlling Class Representative. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer (each, a “Notifying Party”) shall each promptly forward all material notices or other communications delivered to it in connection with the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement to each other Notifying Party (unless a Notifying Party has actual knowledge that such other Notifying Party (i) was copied on such original notice

-194-

or communication or (ii) actually received such notice or communication), the Operating Advisor, the Controlling Class Representative (if a Consultation Termination Event does not exist) and the Depositor and, if such notice or communication is in the nature of a notice or communication that would be required to be delivered to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 12.13) if the related Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan were a Mortgage Loan that is serviced and administered under this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 12.13); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to forward any such notice or communication under this provision unless (A) the Special Servicer is the only addressee of such notice or communication or (B) there is no addressee on such notice or communication. Any obligation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to provide information and collections to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative and the Certificateholders with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and collections from the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer. Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative, in each case as and when applicable, to facilitate the exercise by such party of any consent, approval or consultation rights set forth in this Section 3.01 with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no right or obligation to exercise any consent or consultation rights or obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation on behalf of the Controlling Class Representative.

(j)           With respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

(i)           pursuant to the related Outside Servicing Agreement, the related Outside Servicer or Outside Special Servicer, as applicable, is obligated to make “Servicing Advances” or “Property Advances” and incur “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (as each such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Outside Servicing Agreement) with respect to such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan; the Trust shall be responsible for its pro rata share (such pro rata share and the pro rata share of the holder(s) of the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan(s) to be determined based on the respective principal balances of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan(s)) of any “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance” or “Nonrecoverable Property Advances” (and advance interest thereon) and any “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (as each such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Outside Servicing Agreement), but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, including without limitation, any unpaid “Special Servicing Fees,” “Liquidation Fees” and “Workout Fees” (as each such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Outside Servicing Agreement) relating to such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan; and in the event that the funds received with respect to the related Outside Serviced Loan Combination are insufficient to cover “Servicing Advances,” “Property Advances” or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (as each such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement) relating to the servicing and administration of the related Outside Serviced Loan Combination,

-195-

(i) the Master Servicer shall, promptly following notice from the related Outside Servicer, reimburse the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Certificate Administrator or the related Outside Trustee, as applicable (such reimbursement, to the extent owed to the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Certificate Administrator or the related Outside Trustee, may be paid by the Master Servicer to the related Outside Servicer, who shall pay such amounts to the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Certificate Administrator or the related Outside Trustee, as applicable), out of general funds in the Collection Account for the Trust’s pro rata share (such pro rata share and the pro rata share of the holder(s) of the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan(s) to be determined based on the respective principal balances of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan(s)) of any such “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance,” “Nonrecoverable Property Advances” and/or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (as each such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement), and (ii) if the related Outside Servicing Agreement permits the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Certificate Administrator or the related Outside Trustee to reimburse itself from the related Outside Securitization Trust’s general account, then the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Certificate Administrator or the related Outside Trustee, as applicable, may do so and the Master Servicer shall be required to, promptly following notice from the related Outside Servicer, reimburse the related Outside Securitization Trust out of general funds in the Collection Account for the Trust’s pro rata share (such pro rata share and the pro rata share of the holder(s) of the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan(s) to be determined based on the respective principal balances of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan(s)) of any such “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance,” “Nonrecoverable Property Advances” and/or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (as each such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement) relating to the servicing and administration of such Outside Serviced Loan Combination;

(ii)          With respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, each of (i) (as and to the same extent the related Outside Securitization Trust established under the related Outside Servicing Agreement is required to indemnify each of the following parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the related Outside Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of the related Outside Servicing Agreement) the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Certificate Administrator, the related Outside Trustee, the related Outside Operating Advisor and the related Outside Depositor (and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, to the extent such parties are identified as “Indemnified Parties” in the related Outside Servicing Agreement in respect of other mortgages included in such Outside Securitization Trust) and (ii) the related Outside Securitization Trust (such parties in clause (i) and the related Outside Securitization Trust, collectively, the “Pari Passu Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property (or, with respect to the related Outside Operating Advisor, incurred in connection with the provision of services for such Outside Serviced Mortgage

-196-

Loan) under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement (collectively, the “Pari Passu Indemnified Items”) to the extent of the Trust’s pro rata share (such pro rata share and the pro rata share of the holder(s) of the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan(s) to be determined based on the respective principal balances of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan(s)) of such Pari Passu Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the “Serviced Loan Combination Collection Account”, “Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account”, “Whole Loan Custodial Account” or “Loan Combination Custodial Account” (as each such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement), as applicable, maintained pursuant to the related Outside Servicing Agreement that are allocated to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Trust (including out of general collections in the Collection Account) for the Trust’s pro rata share of the insufficiency;

(iii)         To the extent not otherwise expressly included herein, any provisions required to be included herein pursuant to any Co-Lender Agreement for an Outside Serviced Loan Combination are deemed incorporated herein by reference, and the parties hereto shall comply with those provisions as if set forth herein in full. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and any Outside Serviced Co-Lender Agreement, such Outside Serviced Co-Lender Agreement shall prevail, provided that in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, take any action or omit to take any action in accordance with the terms of any Outside Serviced Co-Lender Agreement, that would cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to violate the Servicing Standard or REMIC Provisions; and

(iv)        each Outside Servicer, each Outside Special Servicer, each Outside Certificate Administrator, each Outside Trustee, each Outside Operating Advisor and each Outside Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 3.01(j).

(k)          To the extent required under any Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the related lender, maintain a Note register for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with such Loan Documents.

(l)           In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (for the purposes of this clause (l), “Applicable Laws”), the Master Servicer may be required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Master Servicer. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agrees to provide to the Master Servicer, upon its reasonable request, from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be readily available to such party in order to enable the Master Servicer to comply with Applicable Laws; provided that the Master Servicer shall be responsible for all reasonable actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such party in connection therewith.

Section 3.02     Liability of the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement or primary servicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and any Person acting as

-197-

Sub-Servicer (or its agents or subcontractors) or any reference to actions taken through any Person acting as Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificateholders and any Serviced Companion Loan Holder for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements, primary servicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as Sub-Servicer (or its agents or subcontractors) to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone was servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loan. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any Sub-Servicer providing for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification, but no such agreement for indemnification shall be deemed to limit or modify this Agreement.

Section 3.03     Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

(a)          The Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Serviced Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and shall follow the Servicing Standard with respect to such collection procedures; provided that, with respect to any ARD Mortgage Loan, so long as the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision of the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests for collection, until the Maturity Date of any ARD Mortgage Loan or until the outstanding principal balance of such ARD Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any portion representing accrued Excess Interest) has been paid in full); provided, further, that, with respect to any ARD Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust Fund’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. For clarification, no obligation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect fees from the related Mortgagor will change the obligation of the Master Servicer to pay such fees from general collections or other proceeds in accordance with Section 3.06(a) and Section 3.06A(a) of this Agreement, whether or not such Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees are collected from or paid by the related Mortgagor. The Master Servicer, with respect to the Performing Serviced Loans, and the Special Servicer, with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect income statements, rent rolls and other reporting information from Mortgagors (as required under the related Loan Documents). Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charges in connection with any delinquent Monthly Payment with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Companion Loan. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to take such actions with respect to the collection of payments on the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loan as are permitted or required under Section 3.21 of this Agreement.

-198-

(b)         If the Master Servicer receives Excess Interest directly from the related Mortgagor or through the Special Servicer, which Excess Interest was collected during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor that the Master Servicer will be receiving Excess Interest during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator no later than two Business Days prior to such Distribution Date by means of a clearly labeled item in the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any failure of the related Mortgagor to pay any such Excess Interest. The preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.03(a) of this Agreement.

(c)          With respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the related Outside Trustee, the related Outside Certificate Administrator, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Operating Advisor promptly following the Closing Date (and, in the case of each Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, promptly upon the related Servicing Shift Date), written notice in the form of Exhibit FF-1, Exhibit FF-2, Exhibit FF-3, Exhibit FF-4, Exhibit FF-5, Exhibit FF-6 or Exhibit FF-7 attached hereto, as applicable, stating that, as of the Closing Date (or the related Servicing Shift Date, as applicable), the Trustee is the holder of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing each such recipient to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Co-Lender Agreement and the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement (which notice shall also provide contact information for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under the related Co-Lender Agreement), accompanied by a copy of an executed version of this Agreement, and (B) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Master Servicer or any party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under the related Co-Lender Agreement (together with the relevant contact information). The Master Servicer shall, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds, deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received with respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property related to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property; provided, however, that to the extent any such amounts are received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such amounts but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such amounts.

(d)         With respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer does not receive from the related Outside Servicer any Monthly Payment or other amounts known by the Master Servicer to be owing on such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement, then the Master Servicer shall provide notice of such failure to the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Trustee.

-199-

Section 3.04     Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.

(a)          With respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments, ground rents and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto. From time to time, to the extent such payments are to be made from escrowed funds, the Master Servicer shall (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) effect payment of all such bills with respect to such Mortgaged Properties prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each case employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Serviced Loan. With respect to non-escrowed payments, when the Master Servicer becomes aware in accordance with the Servicing Standard that a Mortgagor (other than with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) has failed to make any such payment or, with respect to escrowed loans, collections from the Mortgagor are insufficient to pay any such item before the applicable penalty or termination date, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of any shortfall as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer may in accordance with the Servicing Standard elect (but is not required) to make (and in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan, at the direction of the Special Servicer will be required to make) a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be a Property Advance with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) notwithstanding that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined that such a Property Advance would, if advanced, be a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, if making the payment (x) would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan, or (y) would remediate any adverse environmental condition or circumstance at the related Mortgaged Property, if, in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that making the payment is in the best interest of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and such Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan(s))). If the Special Servicer makes such a determination, it shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall make such payment from the Collection Account. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

(b)          The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more segregated custodial accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds. The Master Servicer shall also deposit into each applicable Escrow Account any

-200-

amounts representing losses on Permitted Investments to the extent required by Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement and any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are required to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts (except to the extent the related Mortgage Loan requires or permits it to be held in an account that is not an Eligible Account) in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents) and (subject to any changes in the identities of the Master Servicer and/or the Trustee) shall be entitled, “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee for the benefit of the registered Holders of Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2017-P7, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-P7, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, and Various Mortgagors.” Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made by the Master Servicer only:

(i)          to effect timely payments of items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Loan Documents and in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable;

(ii)         to transfer funds to the Collection Account and/or the applicable Loan Combination Custodial Account to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any Property Advance (with interest thereon at the Advance Rate) relating to Escrow Payments, but only from amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iii)        for application to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, and the Servicing Standard;

(iv)        to clear and terminate such Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement;

(v)         to pay from time to time to the related Mortgagor (a) any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account if such income is required to be paid to the related Mortgagor under law or by the terms of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, or otherwise to the Master Servicer and (b) any other funds required to be released to the related Mortgagors pursuant to the related Loan Documents; and

(vi)        to remove any funds deposited in an Escrow Account that were not required to be deposited therein.

(c)         In the event any Loan Documents permit the lender, at the discretion of the lender, to use letters of credit and/or cash reserves to prepay the related Mortgage Loan prior to the Maturity Date and in the absence of an event of default or acceleration of the Mortgage Loan, then the Master Servicer shall hold such amounts in an Escrow Account for so long as the Loan Documents permit such discretion.

-201-

(d)          Unless required by the related Loan Documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall apply any earnout escrows or reserves established with respect to any Mortgage Loan as a prepayment of such Mortgage Loan if no event of default has occurred under such Mortgage Loan.

(e)          To the extent that (i) an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Serviced Loan, or (ii) any repairs, capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard (which determination may be made on the basis of inquiry to the Mortgagor and this sentence shall in no event be construed to require a physical inspection other than inspections described in Section 3.18 of this Agreement; provided that all deliveries required to be made to Master Servicer under the related Loan Documents of supporting documentation have been made; then the Master Servicer shall report the then current status as a failure) whether the related Mortgagor has failed to perform such obligations under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as of the date required under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and report any such failure to the Special Servicer, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative within a reasonable time after the date as of which such actions or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed.

Section 3.05      Collection Account; Distribution Accounts; and Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account; and Excess Interest Distribution Account.

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

(i)           all payments on account of principal on such Mortgage Loans, including Principal Prepayments and the principal component of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds;

-202-

(ii)         all payments on account of interest on such Mortgage Loans (including Excess Interest);

(iii)        all Yield Maintenance Charges on such Mortgage Loans;

(iv)        all amounts with respect to any related REO Property transferred to the Collection Account, or to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, from an REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement;

(vi)        any amounts received from Mortgagors under such Mortgage Loans that represent (A) recoveries of Property Protection Expenses, (B) any recovery of Unliquidated Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loans, or (C) any other reimbursements in accordance with the related Loan Documents, in each case to the extent not permitted to be retained by the Master Servicer as provided herein;

(vii)       any Loss of Value Payments, as set forth in Section 3.06(c) of this Agreement; and

(viii)      any other amounts required by the provisions of this Agreement to be deposited into the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, including pursuant to Section 2.03 and Section 3.03(c) of this Agreement;

provided, however, that to the extent any amounts referred to in clauses (x) or (y) above of this Section 3.05(a) are received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof.

The foregoing requirements for deposits in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent provided herein, Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees, defeasance fees, review fees and other amounts that constitute other Additional Servicing Compensation or other Additional Special Servicing Compensation need not be deposited in the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees, defeasance fees, review fees and/or amounts that constitute other Additional Servicing Compensation or other Additional Special Servicing Compensation received with respect to such Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 3.12 of this Agreement; provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees, defeasance fees and/or amounts that constitute other Additional Servicing Compensation or other Additional Special Servicing Compensation in excess of the percentage of such fees to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) (in the case of the Master Servicer) or Section 3.12(c) (in the case of the Special Servicer), then it shall remit to the other party (i.e. the Special Servicer (if Master Servicer has received the

-203-

excess percentage of such fees) or the Master Servicer (if Special Servicer has received the excess percentage of such fees), as applicable) the percentage of such fees to which such other party is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) or Section 3.12(c), as applicable. To the extent that any Penalty Charges or Modification Fees received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Mortgage Loan constitute servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.14(a)(iv) of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not deposit such fees into the Collection Account and shall instead apply such fees in accordance with Section 3.14(a)(iv) of this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer of the location and account number of the Collection Account and shall notify the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer in writing of any subsequent change thereof.

Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (vi) and (viii) of the last sentence of the second preceding paragraph with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination), the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt of properly identified funds, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason. With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the Master Servicer, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO Property that relates to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination) shall initially be deposited by the Special Servicer into the related REO Account (or, at the option of the Special Servicer, remitted by the applicable property manager directly to the Master Servicer) and thereafter remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, all in accordance with Section 3.16 of this Agreement.

(b)          The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account in the name of the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each of the Distribution Accounts shall be non-interest bearing and shall be established and maintained as Eligible Accounts or as sub-accounts of a single Eligible Account. With respect to each Distribution Date, on or before such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to make or shall make the withdrawals from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, as set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement, shall be deemed to make the deposits into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, as set forth in Section 4.01 hereof, and shall cause the amount of Aggregate Available Funds (including P&I Advances) and Yield Maintenance Charges to be distributed in respect of the Certificates, pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof on such date.

(c)          The Certificate Administrator shall establish (upon receipt of written notice that an event that generates Excess Liquidation Proceeds has occurred) and maintain the Excess

-204-

Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account in the name of the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account shall be non-interest bearing and shall be maintained separate and apart from trust funds for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series administered by the Certificate Administrator and other accounts of the Certificate Administrator.

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

(d)          [RESERVED]

(e)          Prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately following the end of the first Collection Period during which Excess Interest is received on any ARD Mortgage Loan, and upon notification from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03(b) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Excess Interest Distribution Account in the name of the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates. The Excess Interest Distribution Account shall be non-interest bearing and shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account (or as a subaccount of an Eligible Account). With respect to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and remit to the Certificate Administrator on the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account an amount equal to the Excess Interest received during the applicable Collection Period.

The Certificate Administrator shall, on any Distribution Date, make withdrawals from the Excess Interest Distribution Account to the extent required to make the distributions of Excess Interest required by Section 4.01(k) of this Agreement.

Following the distribution of Excess Interest to the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates on the first Distribution Date after which there are no longer any ARD Mortgage Loans outstanding, the Certificate Administrator may terminate the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

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

(g)          If any Loss of Value Payments are received in connection with a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more

-205-

accounts (collectively, the “Loss of Value Reserve Fund”) to be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, for purposes of holding such Loss of Value Payments. Each account that constitutes the Loss of Value Reserve Fund shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund all Loss of Value Payments received by it. The Loss of Value Reserve Fund shall be accounted for as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any 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 Mortgage Loan Seller and (ii) treat any amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to a Mortgage Loan Seller as distributions by the Trust Fund to such Mortgage Loan Seller as beneficial owner of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will be the beneficial owner of the related account in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon.

(h)          For the avoidance of doubt, the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, and the Interest Reserve Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Excess Interest Distribution Account will be owned by the Grantor Trust, and the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be owned by the Upper-Tier REMIC, each for federal income tax purposes.

Section 3.05A.      Loan Combination Custodial Account.

(a)          The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination (if any), one or more separate accounts, which may be sub-accounts of a single account (with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination, the “Loan Combination Custodial Account”) in which the amounts described in clauses (i) through (viii) below shall be deposited and held in the name of the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as their interests may appear; provided that a Loan Combination Custodial Account may be a sub-account of the Collection Account or another Loan Combination Custodial Account (but shall be deemed to be a separate account for purposes of applying the terms of this Agreement). Each of the Loan Combination Custodial Accounts shall be an Eligible Account or a subaccount of an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in each Loan Combination Custodial Account, within one Business Day following receipt of properly identified funds (or, in the case of payments by the Master Servicer, when otherwise required to be so deposited under this Agreement), the following payments and collections received or made by it on or with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination:

(i)           all payments on account of principal on the related Serviced Loan Combination, including Principal Prepayments and the principal component of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds;

-206-

(ii)         all payments on account of interest on the related Serviced Loan Combination;

(iii)        all Yield Maintenance Charges on the related Serviced Loan Combination;

(iv)        any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement in connection with net losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in such Loan Combination Custodial Account;

(vi)        all Net Condemnation Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination (other than any Net Liquidation Proceeds received on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan in connection with any of the events described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of “Liquidation Event” in this Agreement);

(vii)       any amounts received from the Mortgagor under the related Serviced Loan Combination that represent (A) recoveries of Property Protection Expenses, or (B) any other reimbursements in accordance with the related Loan Documents, in each case to the extent not permitted to be retained by the Master Servicer as provided herein; and

(viii)      any other amounts required by the provisions of this Agreement to be deposited into such Loan Combination Custodial Account by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, including any recovery of any Unliquidated Advances;

provided, however, that to the extent any such amounts are received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such amounts into the related Loan Combination Custodial Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts into the related Loan Combination Custodial Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof.

(b)         The foregoing requirements for deposits in each Loan Combination Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent provided herein, Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees, defeasance fees, review fees and other amounts that constitute other Additional Servicing Compensation or other Additional Special Servicing Compensation need not be deposited in such Loan Combination Custodial Account by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees, defeasance fees, review fees and/or other amounts that constitute other Additional Servicing Compensation or other Additional Special Servicing Compensation received with respect to the Serviced Loan Combinations in accordance with Section 3.12 of this Agreement; provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special

-207-

Servicer, as applicable, receives any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees, defeasance fees and/or amounts that constitute other Additional Servicing Compensation or other Additional Special Servicing Compensation in excess of the percentage of such fees to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) (in the case of the Master Servicer) or Section 3.12(c) (in the case of the Special Servicer), then it shall remit to the other party (i.e. the Special Servicer (if Master Servicer has received the excess percentage of such fees) or the Master Servicer (if Special Servicer has received the excess percentage of such fees), as applicable) the percentage of such fees to which such other party is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) or Section 3.12(c), as applicable. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not deposit any Modification Fees received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination into the related Loan Combination Custodial Account and shall instead apply such fees (except to the extent not permitted under the related Co-Lender Agreement) in accordance with Section 3.14 of this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer deposits in a Loan Combination Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Loan Combination Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Certificate Administrator, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders and the Special Servicer of the location and account number of each Loan Combination Custodial Account and shall notify the Certificate Administrator, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder and the Special Servicer in writing of any subsequent change thereof. Each Loan Combination Custodial Account shall be maintained as a segregated account (or sub-account of such segregated account), separate and apart from trust funds created for mortgage backed securities of other series and the other accounts of the Master Servicer.

(c)          Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 3.05A(a) with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day after receipt, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Loan Combination Custodial Account in accordance with Section 3.05A(a), unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason. With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the Master Servicer, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO Property that relates to a Serviced Loan Combination shall initially be deposited by the Special Servicer into the related REO Account (or, at the option of the Special Servicer, remitted by the applicable property manager directly to the Master Servicer) and thereafter remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the related Loan Combination Custodial Account, all in accordance with Section 3.17 of this Agreement.

Section 3.06      Permitted Withdrawals From the Collection Account.

(a)          The Master Servicer may make withdrawals from the Collection Account only as described below (the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals), subject to the application of Penalty Charges and Modification Fees in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement and Section 3.14 of this Agreement:

If and to the extent that the Master Servicer has reimbursed or made payment to itself or any other Person pursuant to any clause of the prior paragraph above for any cost, expense, indemnity, fee or Property Advance or Advance Interest Amount thereon with respect to a Loan Combination that represents the related Serviced Companion Loan’s allocable share of such cost, expense, indemnity, fee, or Property Advance or Advance Interest Amount thereon (taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan), the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts out of collections on such Serviced Companion Loan (or, if and to the extent permitted under the related Co-Lender Agreement, from the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder) and deposit all such amounts (collectively, with respect to such Serviced Companion Loan, the “Trust Reimbursement Amount No.1”) collected from or on behalf of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder into the Collection Account.

In the absence of manifest error, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on the request for payments contemplated by the preceding sentence.

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to subclauses (i)-(ix) of the third preceding paragraph.

The Master Servicer shall pay to each of the Special Servicer (or to third party contractors at the direction of the Special Servicer), the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, from the applicable Collection Account, amounts permitted to be paid thereto from such account promptly upon receipt of a written statement of an officer of the Special Servicer, an officer of the Operating Advisor, an officer of the Asset Representations Reviewer or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer (or such third party contractor), the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, is entitled (unless such payment to the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, is clearly required pursuant to this Agreement, in which case a written statement is not required). The Master Servicer may rely

-212-

conclusively on any such written statement and shall have no duty to recalculate the amounts stated therein. The parties seeking payment pursuant to this Section shall each keep and maintain a separate accounting for the purpose of justifying any request for withdrawal from each Collection Account, on a loan-by-loan basis.

With respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall pay to, subject to Section 3.01(j)(i) and (j)(ii), the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Certificate Administrator or the related Outside Trustee, as applicable, from the Collection Account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date amounts permitted to be paid to the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Certificate Administrator or the related Outside Trustee, as applicable, therefrom based upon an Officer’s Certificate received from the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Certificate Administrator or the related Outside Trustee, as applicable, on the first Business Day following the immediately preceding Determination Date, describing the item and amount to which the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Certificate Administrator or the related Outside Trustee, as applicable, is entitled.

(b)          The Certificate Administrator shall, upon receipt, deposit in each of the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account any and all amounts received by the Certificate Administrator in accordance with Section 3.06(a)(i) of this Agreement and required to be deposited therein. If, as of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Master Servicer Remittance Date or on such other date as any amount referred to in the preceding sentence is required to be delivered hereunder, the Master Servicer shall not have delivered to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account the amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.06(a)(i) of this Agreement), then the Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent that a Responsible Officer of the Certificate

Administrator has such knowledge, provide notice of such failure to the Master Servicer by facsimile transmission sent to telecopy number (704) 715-0036 (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator in writing) and by telephone at telephone number (800) 326-1334 (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator in writing) as soon as possible, but in any event before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day; provided, however, that the Master Servicer will pay the Certificate Administrator interest on such late payment at the Prime Rate until such late payment is received by the Certificate Administrator.

(c)          If any Loss of Value Payments are deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund with respect to any Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property, then the Special Servicer shall, promptly upon written direction from the Master Servicer (provided that, (1) with respect to clause (iv) below, the Special Servicer shall have provided notice to the Master Servicer of the occurrence of such Liquidation Event and (2) with respect to clause (v) below, the Certificate Administrator shall have provided the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with five 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 Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account for the following purposes:

(i)           to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement, for any Nonrecoverable Advance made by such party with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (together with any related Advance Interest Amounts);

(ii)          to pay, in accordance with Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement, or to reimburse the Trust for the prior payment of, any expense relating to such Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property that constitutes or, if not paid out of such Loss of Value Payments, would constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense, and to pay, in accordance with Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement, any unpaid Liquidation Fee due and owing to the Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property;

(iii)         to offset any portion of Realized Losses and/or VRR Realized Losses that are attributable to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property (as calculated without regard to the application of such Loss of Value Payments), incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related successor REO Mortgage Loan;

(iv)         following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property and any related transfers from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund with respect to the items contemplated by the immediately preceding clauses (i)-(iii) above as to such Mortgage Loan, to cover the items contemplated by the immediately preceding clauses (i)-(iii) in respect of any other Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan; and

(v)          on the final Distribution Date after all distributions have been made as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, to each Mortgage Loan Seller, its pro rata share, based on the amount that it contributed, net of any amount contributed by such Mortgage Loan Seller that was used pursuant to clauses (i)-(iii) to offset any portion of Realized Losses and/or VRR Realized Losses that are attributable to such Mortgage Loan or related

-214-

REO Property, Additional Trust Fund Expenses or any Nonrecoverable Advances incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan related to such contribution.

Any Loss of Value Payments transferred to the Collection Account pursuant to clauses (i) - (iii) of the prior paragraph shall be treated as Liquidation Proceeds received by the Trust in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto for which such Loss of Value Payments were received; and any Loss of Value Payments transferred to the Collection Account pursuant to clause (iv) of the prior paragraph shall be treated as Liquidation Proceeds received by the Trust in respect of the Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan for which such Loss of Value Payments are being transferred to the Collection Account to cover an item contemplated by clauses (i)-(iii) of the prior paragraph.

Section 3.06A.      Permitted Withdrawals From the Loan Combination Custodial Account.

(a)          The Master Servicer may make withdrawals from the Loan Combination Custodial Account for each Serviced Loan Combination only as described below (the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals), subject to the application of Penalty Charges and Modification Fees in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement and Section 3.14 of this Agreement:

(i)           (A) after the Determination Date, and on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Master Servicer Remittance Date, in each calendar month (and also on the Business Day immediately following the receipt of any funds from the REO Account for any REO Property related to such Serviced Loan Combination, if such funds are received after the Determination Date and before the Distribution Date in any calendar month and were not available for any earlier transfer to the Collection Account in such calendar month), to transfer to the Collection Account all amounts on deposit in the Loan Combination Custodial Account payable to the Trust pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan), including any applicable Trust Reimbursement Amount, and (B) on or prior to the related Serviced Loan Combination Remittance Date in each calendar month (and also on the Business Day immediately following the receipt of any funds from the REO Account for any REO Property related to such Serviced Loan Combination, if such funds are received after the Determination Date and before the Distribution Date in any calendar month), to remit to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder all amounts on deposit in the Loan Combination Custodial Account payable to such Serviced Companion Loan Holder pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan (or any successor REO Companion Loan), exclusive of any applicable Trust Reimbursement Amount;

(ii)          to pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, for Advances made thereby with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination and any related Advance Interest Amounts (provided that the Trustee shall have priority with respect to such payment or reimbursement of any such Advances and any related Advance Interest Amounts), the Master Servicer’s right to reimburse any such Person pursuant to this clause (ii) being limited to late collections (including cure payments by related

-215-

Serviced Companion Loan Holders) of the particular item which was the subject of the related Advance, Penalty Charges, Net Condemnation Proceeds, Net REO Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds on or in respect of the particular Serviced Loan Combination or any related REO Property; provided, however, that if such Advance has become a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount (but not a Nonrecoverable Advance), then neither such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount nor any related Advance Interest Amounts shall be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, out of payments or other collections of interest (other than Penalty Charges) or Yield Maintenance Charges on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan) or the related Serviced Companion Loan (or any successor REO Companion Loan); and provided, further, that if such Advance is a P&I Advance with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or a successor REO Mortgage Loan), then neither such Advance nor any related Advance Interest Amounts shall be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, out of, or otherwise result in a reduction of, amounts otherwise payable to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan (or any successor REO Companion Loan), except that in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, reimbursements or payments, as the case may be, of Advances or any related Advance Interest Amounts shall be made taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan to the extent set forth in, and in accordance with, the related Co-Lender Agreement;

(iii)        to pay on or before each Master Servicer Remittance Date (A) to the Master Servicer as compensation, the aggregate unpaid Servicing Fee with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination (to the extent not otherwise required to be applied against Prepayment Interest Shortfalls) in respect of the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period, to be paid from interest received on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, and to pay from time to time to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.07(b) any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in such Loan Combination Custodial Account and (B) to the Special Servicer as compensation, any Special Servicing Compensation payable with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination; provided, however, that no Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Compensation earned with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or a successor REO Mortgage Loan) shall be payable out of, or otherwise result in a reduction of, amounts otherwise payable to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan (or any successor REO Companion Loan) (provided that, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, such payments shall be made taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan to the extent set forth in, and in accordance with, the related Co-Lender Agreement), and no Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Compensation earned with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan (or any successor REO Companion Loan) shall be payable out of, or otherwise result in a reduction of, amounts otherwise payable to the Trust with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or a successor REO Mortgage Loan) (it being acknowledged and agreed that this proviso is in no way intended to limit the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer under the related Co-Lender Agreement to seek payment of any unpaid Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan from the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder);

-216-

(iv)        to pay for costs and expenses incurred by the Trust Fund solely with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination and related REO Property pursuant to Section 3.10(e) and to pay Liquidation Expenses out of Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to Section 3.11;

(v)         to the extent not reimbursed or paid pursuant to any other clause of this Section 3.06A, to reimburse or pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, for unpaid Additional Trust Fund Expenses, Servicing Fees and other unpaid items incurred by or owing to such Person pursuant to the second sentence of Section 3.07(c), Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), Section 3.10, the second sentence of Section 3.12(a), the third sentence of Section 3.12(c), Section 3.16(a), Section 6.03, Section 7.04, the last sentence of Section 8.05(a), Section 8.05(b), Section 8.05(d) or Section 12.07, or any other provision of this Agreement pursuant to which such Person is entitled to reimbursement or payment from the Trust Fund, in each case only to the extent expressly reimbursable under such Section and to the extent related to such Serviced Loan Combination and not related to amounts which are solely expenses of the Trust Fund (such as expenses related to administration of the Trust Fund or REMIC taxes, penalties or interest or preservation of the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC), it being acknowledged that this clause (v) shall not be deemed to modify the substance of any such Section, including the provisions of such Section that set forth the extent to which one of the foregoing Persons is or is not entitled to payment or reimbursement; provided, however, that no payment or reimbursement to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or payment or reimbursement of costs and expenses associated with obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation, shall be made out of, or otherwise result in a reduction of, amounts otherwise payable to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan (or successor REO Companion Loan) (provided that, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, such payments or reimbursements shall be made taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan to the extent set forth in, and in accordance with, the related Co-Lender Agreement), and no payment or reimbursement of costs and expenses associated with obtaining a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation shall be made out of, or otherwise result in a reduction of, amounts otherwise payable to the Trust with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan);

(vi)        to make such payments and reimbursements out of Penalty Charges and Modification Fees on deposit in such Loan Combination Custodial Account as are contemplated by the related Co-Lender Agreement and Section 3.14 of this Agreement;

(vii)       to withdraw any amount deposited into such Loan Combination Custodial Account that was not required to be deposited therein;

(viii)      if the related Serviced Companion Loan (or any successor REO Companion Loan with respect thereto) is part of an Other Securitization Trust, to the extent required by the related Co-Lender Agreement, to reimburse the applicable party to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement for any advances of delinquent monthly debt service payments made thereby with respect to such Serviced Companion Loan (or REO Companion Loan), together with interest thereon, provided that such reimbursement,

-217-

together with interest, shall be made solely out of payments and other collections on such Serviced Companion Loan (or REO Companion Loan); or

(ix)         to clear and terminate such Loan Combination Custodial Account pursuant to Section 9.01 of this Agreement.

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan-by-Companion Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from each Loan Combination Custodial Account pursuant to subclauses (i) - (ix) above. If and to the extent that the Master Servicer has reimbursed or made payment to itself or any other Person pursuant to any clause of the prior paragraph above for any cost, expense, indemnity, or Property Advance or Advance Interest Amount thereon with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination out of monies allocable to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan) to an extent that the Trust has borne some or all of the related Serviced Companion Loan’s allocable share of such cost, expense, indemnity, or Property Advance or Advance Interest Amount thereon (taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan to the extent set forth in, and in accordance with, the related Co-Lender Agreement), the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts disproportionately borne by the Trust out of collections on such Serviced Companion Loan (or, if and to the extent permitted under the related Co-Lender Agreement, from the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder) and deposit all such amounts (collectively, with respect to such Serviced Companion Loan, the “Trust Reimbursement Amount No.2” and, together with Trust Reimbursement Amount No.1, the “Trust Reimbursement Amount”) collected from or on behalf of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder into the Collection Account.

The Master Servicer shall pay to each of the Special Servicer (or to third party contractors at the direction of the Special Servicer), the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and an advancing party under any Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, from the applicable Loan Combination Custodial Account, amounts permitted to be paid thereto from such account promptly upon receipt of a written statement of an officer of the Special Servicer, an officer of the Operating Advisor, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or an officer of such advancing party under such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer (or such third party contractor), the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or such advancing party under such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, is entitled (unless such payment to the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, is clearly required pursuant to this Agreement, in which case a written statement is not required). The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any such written statement and shall have no duty to re-calculate the amounts stated therein. The parties seeking payment pursuant to this Section shall each keep and maintain separate accounting for the purpose of justifying any request for withdrawal from each Loan Combination Custodial Account, on a loan-by-loan basis.

The Trustee, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on deposit in a Loan Combination Custodial Account from time to

-218-

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

After the Determination Date, and on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Master Servicer Remittance Date, in each calendar month (and also on the Business Day immediately following the receipt of any funds from the REO Account for any REO Property related to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination, if such funds are received after the Determination Date and before the Distribution Date in any calendar month and were not available for any earlier transfer to the Collection Account in such calendar month), the Master Servicer shall remit for deposit in the Collection Account all amounts on deposit in a Loan Combination Custodial Account payable to the Trust pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan), including any applicable Trust Reimbursement Amount; and on or prior to the related Serviced Loan Combination Remittance Date in each calendar month (and also on the Business Day immediately following the receipt of any funds from the REO Account for any REO Property related to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination, if such funds are received after the Determination Date and before the Distribution Date in any calendar month), the Master Servicer shall remit to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder all amounts on deposit in a Loan Combination Custodial Account payable to such Serviced Companion Loan Holder pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan (or any successor REO Companion Loan), exclusive of any applicable Trust Reimbursement Amount, in each case, prior to the required remittance from the Collection Account to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on such Master Servicer Remittance Date.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to each Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the related Loan Combination Custodial Account and remit to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds, any amounts that represent late collections received by the Master Servicer from the related Mortgagor that are allocable to such Serviced Companion Loan or any successor REO Loan with respect thereto or reimbursable to the related Other Servicer or the related Other Trustee; provided, however, that to the extent any such amounts are received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such amounts to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall remit such amounts within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to each Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the related Loan

-219-

Combination Custodial Account and remit to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds, any amounts that represent Principal Prepayments received by the Master Servicer from the related Mortgagor that are allocable to such Serviced Companion Loan or any successor REO Loan with respect thereto (exclusive of any portion of such amount paid or reimbursed to any third party in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement or this Agreement), unless such amount would otherwise be included in the monthly remittance to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder for such month pursuant to Section 3.06A(a); provided, however, that to the extent any such amounts are received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such amounts to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall remit such amounts within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds.

Section 3.07      Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the REO Account, the Mortgagor Accounts, and Other Accounts.

(a)          The Master Servicer, or with respect to any REO Account and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Special Servicer, may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, any Loan Combination Custodial Account, any Mortgagor Account (subject to the second succeeding sentence), any REO Account or any Loss of Value Reserve Fund (each of the Collection Account, any Loan Combination Custodial Account, any REO Account, any Loss of Value Reserve Fund and any Mortgagor Account, for purposes of this Section 3.07, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments that bear interest or are sold at a discount, and that mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement. Any direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing and shall certify that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. In the case of any Escrow Account or Lock-Box Account (the “Mortgagor Accounts”), the Master Servicer shall act upon the written request of the related Mortgagor or Manager to the extent the Master Servicer is required to do so under the terms of the respective Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) or related documents, provided that in the absence of appropriate written instructions from the related Mortgagor or Manager meeting the requirements of this Section 3.07, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to, but will be entitled to, direct the investment of funds in such accounts in Permitted Investments. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee or a nominee of the Trustee (in each case for the benefit of the Certificateholders). The Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders) shall have sole control (except with respect to investment direction, which shall be in the control of the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account, any Loan Combination Custodial Account or any Mortgagor Account) or the Special Servicer (with respect to any REO Accounts and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund), as applicable, as an independent contractor to the Trust Fund) over each such investment and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its nominee (which shall initially be the Master 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 (for the benefit of the Certificateholders). Neither the

-220-

Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, any Mortgagor or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Master Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment direction of the Special Servicer, any Mortgagor or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Special Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment direction of the Master Servicer, any Mortgagor or any property manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer in the case of REO Accounts and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund), shall: (x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and (y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer in the case of REO Accounts and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund) that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment Account. Amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the Interest Reserve Account (each, a “Certificate Administrator Account”) shall remain uninvested.

(b)          All income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in any Investment Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer, except with respect to the investment of funds deposited in (i) any Mortgagor Account to the extent required under the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) or applicable law to be for the benefit of the related Mortgagor or (ii) any REO Account and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund, which shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer, and if held in the Collection Account, a Loan Combination Custodial Account or an REO Account, shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.06, Section 3.06A or Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer (or with respect to any REO Account and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Special Servicer) shall deposit from its own funds into any applicable Investment Account, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss (except with respect to losses incurred as a result of the related Mortgagor or Manager exercising its power under the related Loan Documents to direct such investment in such Mortgagor Account); provided, however, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may reduce the amount of such payment to the extent it forgoes any investment income in such Investment Account otherwise payable to it. The Master Servicer shall also deposit from its own funds in any Mortgagor Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of Permitted Investments, except to the extent that amounts are invested for the benefit of the Mortgagor under the terms of the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) or applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer (in their respective capacities as Master Servicer and Special Servicer, respectively) shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company is not the Person or an Affiliate of the Person maintaining

-221-

such account hereunder and satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (1) at the time such investment was made and (2) as of the date that is 30 days prior to the insolvency.

(c)          Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee may, and upon the request of Holders of Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interests of any Class shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. In the event the Trustee takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in connection therewith. In the event that the Trustee does not take any such action, the Master Servicer may, but is not obligated to, take such action at its own cost and expense.

Section 3.08      Maintenance of Insurance Policies and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.

(a)          The Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, as mortgagee of record, shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, to the extent required by each Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Serviced Companion Loan (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default), and if the Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself maintain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances and to the extent the Trustee as mortgagee of record has an insurable interest and to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates), (i) fire and hazard insurance (and windstorm insurance, if applicable) with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) one hundred percent (100%) of the then “full replacement cost” of the improvements and equipment (excluding foundations, footings and excavation costs), without deduction for physical depreciation, and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan or such greater amount as is necessary to prevent any reduction in such policy by reason of the application of co-insurance provisions and to prevent the Trustee thereunder from being deemed to be a co-insurer and provided such policy shall include a “replacement cost” rider, (ii) insurance providing coverage against 18 months (or such longer period or with such extended period endorsement as provided in the related Mortgage or other Loan Document) of rent interruptions and (iii) such other insurance as is required in the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan. Subject to Section 3.16 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard), shall cause to be maintained for each REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Loan Documents (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default); provided that to the extent the Loan Documents require the related Mortgagor to maintain insurance with an insurer rated better than as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”, the Master Servicer may, without a Rating Agency Confirmation or the approval of the Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit the

-222-

related Mortgagor to maintain insurance with an insurer that does not meet the requirements of the Loan Documents so long as the related Mortgagor maintains insurance with an insurer rated at least as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”. All insurance for an REO Property shall be from a Qualified Insurer, if available from a Qualified Insurer, and if not available from a Qualified Insurer, from an insurance provider that is rated the next highest available rating who is offering such insurance at commercially reasonable rates. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts required to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents) shall be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement or the Loan Combination Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05A of this Agreement, as applicable, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, Section 3.05A, Section 3.06 or Section 3.06A of this Agreement. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance other than flood insurance or earthquake insurance subject to the conditions set forth below is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained by the Master Servicer other than pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents and pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the related Mortgaged Property (other than an REO Property and other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, to the extent required by each Serviced Loan, and if the related Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) and maintain flood insurance in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and as is available for the related property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such property is located is participating in such program). If a Mortgaged Property (other than an REO Property) is related to a Serviced Loan pursuant to which earthquake insurance is required to be maintained pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, and if the related Mortgagor does not so maintain will itself obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances and for so long as such insurance continues to be available at commercially reasonable rates) and maintain earthquake insurance in respect thereof, in the amount required by the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or, if not specified, in-place at origination. If an REO Property (other than an REO Property related to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) (i) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area or (ii) is related to a Serviced Loan with respect to which earthquake insurance would be appropriate in accordance with the Servicing Standard and such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, the Special Servicer will obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) and maintain flood insurance and/or earthquake insurance in respect thereof providing the same coverage as described in this Section 3.08(a). Out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in maintaining insurance policies pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be advanced by the Master

-223-

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will not be required to maintain, and shall not cause a Mortgagor to be in default with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to obtain, all risk casualty insurance which does not contain any carve out for terrorist or similar acts, if, and only if, the Special Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the failure to maintain such insurance is an Acceptable Insurance Default; provided that, during the period that the Special Servicer is evaluating such insurance hereunder, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain terrorism insurance and shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder as a result of such failure. The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer of each determination under this paragraph.

-224-

(b)          (i) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties (other than REO Properties and other than Mortgaged Properties that secure the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) as to which the related Mortgagor has not maintained insurance required by the related Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, related Serviced Loan Combination (other than any Mortgagor that is required under the related Loan Documents to maintain insurance with an insurer rated better than as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer” that maintains insurance with an insurer rated at least as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”) or the Special Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the REO Properties (other than REO Properties acquired in respect of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), as required under this Agreement, as the case may be, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations concerning the maintenance of insurance coverage set forth in Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement. Any such blanket insurance policy shall be maintained with a Qualified Insurer. A blanket insurance policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, and (ii) there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account or, if applicable, related Loan Combination Custodial Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, as applicable, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, agree to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholder and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, claims under any such blanket policy which it maintains in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or permit recovery thereunder.

(ii)          If the Master Servicer causes any Mortgaged Property (other than any REO Property and other than any Mortgaged Property that secures an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Special Servicer causes any REO Property (other than an REO Property acquired in respect of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) to be covered by a master force placed insurance policy and such policy shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer and provide no less coverage in scope and amount for such Mortgaged Property or REO Property than the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations to maintain insurance pursuant to Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a), and (ii) there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account or, if applicable, related Loan Combination Custodial Account from its own funds the amount

-225-

not otherwise payable under such policy because of such deductible to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan(s) related thereto, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.

(iii)        In either case, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, causes any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such “force-placed” insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid as a Property Advance. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any claim under an insurance policy described above (whether by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer) shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance.

(c)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each obtain and maintain in effect a fidelity bond or similar form of insurance coverage (which may provide blanket coverage) or a combination of fidelity bond and insurance coverage, in such form as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and in such amounts that are consistent with the Servicing Standard, insuring against loss occasioned by fraud, theft or other intentional misconduct of the officers and employees of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its respective Affiliates has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its obligations to service the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Companion Loans hereunder in such form as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and in such amounts as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term unsecured debt rating or deposit account rating of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent) is not in any event less than “A3” as rated by Moody’s and “A-” as rated by Fitch, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may self-insure for the fidelity bond and errors and omissions coverage otherwise required above. The Master Servicer shall cause each and every Sub-Servicer it has engaged to maintain or cause to be maintained by an agent or contractor servicing any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination on behalf of such Sub-Servicer, a fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy which satisfy the requirements for the fidelity bond and the errors and omissions policy to be maintained by the Master Servicer to comply with the foregoing. All fidelity bonds and policies of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section 3.08(c) shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer.

(d)          Each of the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer 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 with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s errors or omissions.

Section 3.09      Enforcement of Due-On-Sale and Due-On-Encumbrance Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Defeasance Provisions.

(a)          Upon receipt of any request of a waiver or consent in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision under the Loan Documents of a Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly process and analyze such request, including the preparation of written materials in connection with such analysis, and determine in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard whether to waive any right to accelerate payment the lender may have, or grant its consent, under the due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision of such Serviced Loan. If the Master Servicer receives any such request with respect to Performing Serviced Loans, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver a copy of such request to the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the forgoing, with respect to any Performing Serviced Loan (x) that is a PrinREI-Subserviced Loan or (y) as to which the Master Servicer and the Specially Servicer mutually agree, the Master Servicer shall process and analyze any such request, including the preparation of written materials in connection with such analysis, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and provide its written recommendation and analysis to the Special Servicer as to whether or not to waive any right to accelerate payment the lender may have, or grant its consent, under the due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision of such Serviced Loan (with any such recommended course of action to be subject to the Special Servicer’s consent).

Both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (as applicable in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 3.09(a)) each in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and each on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, enforce the restrictions contained in the related Loan Documents on transfers or further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property and on transfers or further encumbrances of interests in the related Mortgagor, unless following receipt of a request for a waiver or consent in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision the Master Servicer (to the extent that it is processing such request pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.09(a), with the written consent of the Special Servicer, which consent shall be deemed given if not denied within 15 Business Days (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period as required by the related Co-Lender Agreement, but in no event less than 5 Business Days after the time period set forth in such Co-Lender Agreement for review by any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) after the Special Servicer’s receipt (unless earlier objected to) of the written recommendation and analysis of the Master Servicer for such action and any additional information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may reasonably request for the analysis of such request, which recommendation and information may be delivered in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that the waiver of such restrictions or granting of consent would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Promptly after the Master Servicer (with the written consent of the Special Servicer to the extent required pursuant to this Section 3.09(a)) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has made any determination to grant a waiver in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall: (1) deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other party to this Agreement and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,

-227-

no such Officer’s Certificate shall be required to be delivered if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is granting consent to an assumption pursuant to this Section 3.09(a) in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents and there is no material waiver of any conditions or any other provisions of the related Loan Documents with respect thereto; and (2) close the related transaction, subject to the consent of the Special Servicer obtained as described above (if the Master Servicer is processing such request), any applicable consultation rights of the Risk Retention Consultation Party (to the extent the Risk Retention Consultation Party has consultation rights pursuant to Section 6.09), any applicable consultation rights of the Operating Advisor (to the extent the Operating Advisor has consultation rights pursuant to Section 3.29 or Section 6.09) and the consultation and/or consent rights (if any) of the related Directing Holder or the consultation rights of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) as provided in this Section 3.09(a), and as otherwise provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement, and subject to Sections 3.09(b), 3.21, 3.24, 3.25 and Section 3.28; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall enter into any such agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would result in (i) the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding or (ii) create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage.

With respect to all Serviced Mortgage Loans and each Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall, prior to consenting to a proposed action of the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.09 that constitutes a Major Decision, and prior to itself taking such an action, obtain the written consent of the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (to the extent set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved) or the Controlling Class Representative (if any other Serviced Loan(s) (exclusive of any Excluded Mortgage Loan(s)) are involved and a Control Termination Event does not exist), as applicable, which consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by such related Directing Holder of the Major Decision Reporting Package for such action, which recommendation and information may be delivered in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the related Directing Holder and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the rights of the lender or grant its consent under any “due-on-encumbrance” provision unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (in each case, if it is the party processing the related request pursuant to this Section 3.09(a)), shall have received a prior written Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action, or (2) the related Serviced Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination) (A) represents less than 2% of the aggregate principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, (B) has a principal balance that is equal to or less than $20,000,000, (C) has a Loan-to-Value Ratio equal to or less than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt), (D) has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio equal to or greater than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced Companion Loan (if applicable) and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) and (E) is not one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans (considering any Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Mortgage Loan) in the Mortgage Pool based on principal balance or (3) the related Serviced Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination)

-228-

has a principal balance less than $10,000,000; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision contained in the related Loan Documents to the contrary, no Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required in connection with such waiver or grant of consent under any “due-on-encumbrance” provision if the related Serviced Mortgage Loan satisfies the conditions set forth in clause (2) or clause (3) above of this sentence. Further, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the rights of the lender or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” provision unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (in each case, if it is the party processing the related request pursuant to this Section 3.09(a)), shall have received a prior written Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action, or (2) the related Serviced Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination) (A) represents less than 5% of the principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, (B) has a principal balance that is equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (C) is not one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans (considering any Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Mortgage Loan) in the Mortgage Pool based on principal balance or (3) the related Serviced Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination) has a principal balance less than $10,000,000; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision contained in the related Loan Documents to the contrary, no Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required in connection with such waiver or grant of consent under any “due-on-sale” provision if the related Serviced Mortgage Loan satisfies the conditions set forth in clause (2) or clause (3) above of this sentence. For the purposes of this Agreement, due-on-sale provisions shall include, without limitation, sales or transfers of Mortgaged Properties, in full or in part, or the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in any Mortgagor or its owner, in each case to the extent not permitted under the related Loan Documents, and due-on-encumbrance provisions shall include, without limitation, any mezzanine/subordinate financing of any Mortgagor or any Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in any Mortgagor or its owners, in each case to the extent not permitted under the related Loan Documents.

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (in each case, if it is the party processing the related request pursuant to this Section 3.09(a)), shall notify in writing the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor, the Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to any Excluded RRCP Mortgage Loan), the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement) and, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to this Section 3.09(a) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement, and shall also deliver an original to the Trustee or the Custodian of the recorded agreement relating to such assumption or substitution within 15 Business Days following the execution and receipt thereof by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency pursuant to this Section 3.09(a), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (in each case, if it is the party processing the related request pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.09(a)), shall deliver a Review Package to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider for

-229-

posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 12.13 of this Agreement.

Further, subject to the terms of the related Loan Documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (in each case, if it is the party processing the related request pursuant to this Section 3.09(a)), shall use reasonable efforts to cause all costs in connection with any assumption or encumbrance, including any arising from seeking a Rating Agency Confirmation, to be paid by the related Mortgagor. To the extent not collected from the related Mortgagor after the use of such efforts, any rating agency charges in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or as an Additional Trust Fund Expense if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance).

To the extent not prohibited by the applicable Loan Documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may charge the related Mortgagor a fee in connection with any enforcement or waiver contemplated in this subsection (a); provided that any such fee shall be applied as if it were a Modification Fee and/or Assumption Fee, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)          Nothing in this Section 3.09 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

(c)          In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.09, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend, and no assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.09(a) of this Agreement shall contain any terms that are different from, any term of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan or the related Note, other than pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement.

(d)         With respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination which permits release of Mortgaged Properties through defeasance, and to the extent consistent with the terms of the related Loan Documents:

(i)          (i)          Subject to the consent rights of the Special Servicer and the Directing Holder and the process set forth in Sections 3.24 and 6.09 with respect to Major Decisions and Special Servicer Decisions, the Master Servicer shall process all defeasances of Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combinations in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents, and shall be entitled to any defeasance fees paid relating thereto (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include the Special Servicer’s portion of any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance to which the Special Servicer is entitled under this Agreement).

(ii)          In the event such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination requires that the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee purchase the required “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations

-230-

Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the Master Servicer, an accommodation Mortgagor pursuant to clause (v) below or the Mortgagor shall, at the Mortgagor’s expense (to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents), purchase or cause the purchase of such obligations in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and deliver to the Master Servicer, in the case of the Mortgagor, or in the case of the Master Servicer, hold the same on behalf of the Trust Fund and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder; provided that, subject to the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall not accept the amounts paid by the related Mortgagor to effect defeasance until acceptable “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) have been identified, in each case which are acceptable as defeasance collateral under the then most recently published current guidelines of the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each of the Mortgage Loans identified on Exhibit Q to this Agreement (each, a “Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations Mortgage Loan” and, collectively, the “Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations Mortgage Loans”), the related Mortgage Loan Seller or originator has transferred to a third party or has retained the right to establish or designate the successor borrower and/or to purchase or cause to be purchased the related defeasance collateral (“Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). In the event the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan that provides for Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations in the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or to the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignee. Until such time as PCC provides written notice to the contrary, the notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations as to which PCC is the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be delivered to Macquarie US Trading LLC d/b/a Principal Commercial Capital, 125 West 55th Street, New York, New York 10019, to the attention of Joshua Karlin. Until such time as NREC provides written notice to the contrary, the notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations as to which NREC is the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be delivered to Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC, 1251 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020, Attention: Real Estate Administration, fax number: (212) 891-5777, with an electronic copy emailed to: USCIBGlobalFinanceAssetManagementTeam@us.natixis.com.

(iii)         The Master Servicer shall require, to the extent the related Loan Documents grant the mortgagee discretion to so require, delivery of an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents) to the effect that the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders has a first priority security interest in the defeasance deposit and the “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), and the assignment thereof is valid and enforceable; such opinion, together with any other certificates or documents to be required in connection with such defeasance shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer.

-231-

(iv)         The Master Servicer shall obtain, to the extent the related Loan Documents grant the mortgagee discretion to so obtain, a certificate (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents) from an Independent certified public accountant certifying that the “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), comply with the requirements of the related Loan Agreement or Mortgage.

(v)          To the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents, prior to permitting release of any Mortgaged Properties through defeasance, the Master Servicer shall (at the Mortgagor’s expense) obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from any Rating Agency to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate to such Rating Agency substantially in the form of Exhibit DD to this Agreement for any Mortgage Loan that, at the time of such defeasance, is (x) not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance, (y) a Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (z) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans.

(vi)         If the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination permits the related Mortgagor or the lender or its designee to cause an accommodation Mortgagor to assume such defeased obligations, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the Mortgagor to, establish at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense (and shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to consent to such assumption) a special purpose bankruptcy-remote entity to assume such obligations, as to which the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator has received a Rating Agency Confirmation (if such confirmation is required pursuant to the then most recently published guidelines of the Rating Agencies).

(vii)        To the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination. In the event that the Mortgagor is not required to pay any such costs and expenses under the terms of the Loan Documents, such costs and expenses shall be Additional Trust Fund Expenses.

(viii)       In no event shall the Master Servicer have liability to any party hereto or beneficiary hereof for obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation (or conditioning approval of defeasance on the delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation) or for imposing conditions to approval of a defeasance on the satisfaction of conditions that are consistent with the Servicing Standard but are not required under Rating Agency guidelines (provided that this shall not protect the Master Servicer from any liability that may be imposed as a result of the violation of applicable law or the Loan Documents).

(ix)         The Master Servicer may accept as defeasance collateral any “government security,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation’s Section 1.860G-(2)(a)(8)(ii), notwithstanding any more restrictive requirements in the Loan Documents; provided, that

-232-

the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel that acceptance of such defeasance collateral will not endanger the status of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property” as set forth in Section 860G(c) of the Code).

(e)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, without any other approval or consent, the Master Servicer (for Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (for Specially Serviced Loans) may grant and process a Mortgagor’s request for consent to subject the related Mortgaged Property to an immaterial easement, right of way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose (and may consent to subordination of the related Serviced Loan to such easement, right of way or similar agreement); provided that in each case, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, (i) shall have determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such easement, right of way or similar agreement will not materially and adversely affect the operation or value of such Mortgaged Property or the Trust Fund’s interest in the Mortgaged Property and (ii) shall have determined that such easement, right of way or similar agreement will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may rely on an Opinion of Counsel in making any such determination under clause (ii) above.

Section 3.10      Appraisal Reductions; Calculation and allocation of Collateral Deficiency Amounts; Realization Upon Defaulted Loans.

(a)          Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event with respect to a Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an updated Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property, the costs of which shall be advanced by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance); provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain an updated Appraisal of any Mortgaged Property with respect to which there exists an Appraisal which is less than nine months old unless the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such previously obtained Appraisal is materially inaccurate. With respect to any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and still exists, the Special Servicer shall obtain annual letter updates to any updated Appraisal. Any Appraisal prepared in order to determine the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination shall be delivered by the Special Servicer, upon request, to each related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.

As of the first Determination Date following a Serviced Mortgage 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 such Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. The Master Servicer shall provide (via electronic delivery) the Special Servicer with information in its possession that

-233-

is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount pursuant to the definition thereof using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within four (4) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s reasonable written request. Upon obtaining actual knowledge or receipt of notice by the Special Servicer that an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the Special Servicer shall (i) promptly request from the related Outside Servicer, Outside Special Servicer and Outside Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the Special Servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the Special Servicer reasonably expects to receive (and does receive within a reasonable period of time) and reasonably believes is necessary to perform such calculation, 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 from the Outside Servicer, Outside Special Servicer or Outside Trustee, as the case may be, with respect to such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. In connection with its calculation of a Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan that has become an AB Modified Loan, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any appraisal or other information received from the related Outside Servicer, Outside Special Servicer or Outside Trustee. The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator of any Collateral Deficiency Amount calculated by the Special Servicer with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan that has become an AB Modified Loan. The Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Collateral Deficiency Amounts calculated by the Special Servicer with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan. Upon any other party to this Agreement obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice that an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the Special Servicer thereof. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

The Certificate Balance of each Class of applicable Principal Balance Certificates shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining the identity of the Non-Reduced Certificates and the Controlling Class, as well as the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, and, to the extent expressly set forth herein, for purposes of allocating and/or exercising Voting Rights in connection with certain circumstances involving the termination of certain parties hereto) as of any date of determination to the extent of the Appraisal Reduction Amount(s) allocated to such Class on the preceding Distribution Date. An amount equal to the Vertically Retained Percentage of the aggregate Appraisal Reduction Amount for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the VRR Interest, the respective Classes of the Class V-2 Certificates and the respective Classes of the Class V-3 Certificates as follows: (i) the VRR Interest Percentage of such amount shall be applied to notionally reduce (to not less than zero) the Certificate Balance of the VRR Interest; (ii) the Class V-2 Percentage of such amount shall be applied to notionally reduce (in the case of any particular Class, to not less than zero) the Certificate Balances of the Class V-2E Certificates, the Class V-2D Certificates, the Class V-2C Certificates, the Class V-2B Certificates and the Class V-2A Certificates, in that order; and (iii) the Class V-3 Percentage of such amount shall be applied to notionally reduce (in the case of any particular Class, to not less than zero) the Certificate Balances of the Class V-3E Certificates,

-234-

the Class V-3D Certificates, the Class V-3C Certificates and the Class V-3AB Certificates, in that order. The Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of the aggregate Appraisal Reduction Amount for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the following Classes of Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class G Certificates; second, to the Class F Certificates; third, to the Class E Certificates; fourth, to the Class D Certificates; fifth, to the Class C Certificates; sixth, to the Class B Certificates; seventh, to the Class A-S Certificates; and finally, pro rata to the (i) Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) Class A-4 Certificates, and (v) Class A-AB Certificates, based on their respective Certificate Balances (provided in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). In addition, as of any date of determination for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, and after taking into account the allocations contemplated by the prior sentence, the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of Collateral Deficiency Amounts shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of each Class of the Control Eligible of Certificates in the following order of priority (in each case after taking into account any Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated thereto): first, to the Class G Certificates; and second, to the Class F Certificates (provided in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, any Class of Control Eligible Certificates shall be allocated the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts (the sum of which shall constitute the applicable Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount), in accordance with the preceding two sentences.

With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Certificates or, to the extent expressly set forth herein, for the purposes of allocating and/or exercising Voting Rights in connection with certain circumstances involving the termination of certain parties hereto, and with respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as-is” basis.

The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer of the determination of (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount, (ii) any Collateral Deficiency Amount, and (iii) any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount by providing such information in the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Template, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice of the determination of any such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, on the Certificate Administrator’s website.

Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination shall be allocated, first, to any related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (up to the outstanding principal balance thereof), and then, to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), on a pro rata and pari passu basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of such related Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

-235-

The Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Balance of the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates whose Certificate Balance is notionally reduced to less than 25% of the initial Certificate Balance of that Class as a result of an allocation of an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount in respect of such Class (such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) shall have the right to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination or Collateral Deficiency Amount determination and, at their sole expense, obtain a second Appraisal of any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The Requesting Holders shall cause the Appraisal to be prepared on an “as-is” basis by an Appraiser, and the Appraisal must be reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Requesting Holders shall provide the Special Servicer with notice of their intent to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination or Collateral Deficiency Amount determination within 10 days of the Requesting Holders’ receipt of written notice of the determination of such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable.

An Appraised-Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until 10 days following its receipt of written notice of the determination of an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, unless the Requesting Holders provide written notice of their intent to challenge such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount to the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator within such 10-day period pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph. If the Requesting Holders provide such notice, then the Appraised-Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until the earliest of (i) 120 days following the related Appraisal Reduction Event or receipt of written notice of a Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, unless the Requesting Holders provide the second appraisal within such 120-day period, (ii) the determination by the Special Servicer (described below) that a recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, is not warranted or that such recalculation does not result in the Appraised-Out Class remaining the Controlling Class and (iii) the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event. After the Appraised-Out Class is no longer entitled to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class, the rights of the Controlling Class shall be exercised by the Class of Control Eligible Certificates immediately senior to such Appraised-Out Class, if any, unless a recalculation results in the reinstatement of the Appraised-Out Class as the Controlling Class.

In addition to the foregoing, the Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Balance of any Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional Appraisal of any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists if an event has occurred at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties that would have a material effect on its appraised value, and the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to obtain such Appraisal within 30 days from receipt of such Holders’ written request and shall use its reasonable efforts, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to obtain an Appraisal that is prepared on an “as-is” basis by an Appraiser; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Appraisal if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that no events at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties have occurred that would

-236-

have a material effect on such appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties.

Upon receipt of an Appraisal provided by, or requested by, Holders of an Appraised-Out Class pursuant to this Section and any other information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such additional Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver notice to the Certificate Administrator of any such determination and recalculation, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

Appraisals that are permitted to be presented by, or obtained by the Special Servicer at the request of, Holders of an Appraised-Out Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with the Servicing Standard or this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Holder of an Appraised-Out Class.

(b)          In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents or other acquisition, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.20 of this Agreement shall pay the out-of-pocket costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent permitted by Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement.

Subject to Section 3.21 of this Agreement, if the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure in accordance with the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, the Special Servicer shall not be required to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Mortgagor or any other liable party if the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure or if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the likely recovery if a deficiency judgment is obtained will not be sufficient to warrant the cost, time, expense and/or exposure of pursuing the deficiency judgment and such determination is evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, any related Outside Controlling Note Holder, the Operating Advisor, the Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to any Excluded RRCP Mortgage Loan) and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Controlling Class Representative.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property (other than any Mortgaged Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) is acquired in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, to a co-trustee or

-237-

to its nominee (which shall not include the Master Servicer but may be a single member limited liability company owned by the Trust and managed by the Special Servicer) or a separate trustee or co-trustee on behalf of the Trustee as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and on behalf of the holders of the Certificates and, if applicable, and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Serviced Mortgage Loan shall (except for purposes of Section 9.01) be considered to be an REO Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the related REO Property shall be sold by the Trust Fund and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses.

(c)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.10 unless either:

(i)           such personal property is (in the good faith judgment of the Special Servicer) incident to real property (within the meaning of Code Section 856(e)(1)) so acquired by the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trust Fund; or

(ii)          the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(d)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trust Fund or, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership or membership interest or other equity interest in any Mortgagor pledged pursuant to any pledge agreement, unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the holding of such partnership or membership interest or other equity interest by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(e)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund or, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership or membership interest in any Mortgagor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of a Mortgaged Property, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders, would be considered to hold title to, or be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged

-238-

Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment report prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits, that:

(i)           such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole) to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith; and

(ii)          there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently effective federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such Hazardous Materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan)) to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property as could be required by such law or regulation.

In the event that the environmental assessment first obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to a Mortgaged Property indicates that such Mortgaged Property may not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that Hazardous Materials may be present but does not definitively establish such fact, the Special Servicer shall cause such further environmental tests to be conducted by an Independent Person who regularly conducts such tests as the Special Servicer shall deem prudent to protect the interests of Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder. Any such tests shall be deemed part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Special Servicer for purposes of this Section 3.10.

In the event that the Special Servicer seeks to obtain title to a Mortgaged Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Special Servicer may, in its discretion, establish a single member limited liability company with the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder as the sole owner to hold title to such Mortgaged Property.

(f)          The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(e) of this Agreement shall be prepared within three months of the determination that such assessment is required by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits for purchasers of commercial property where the Mortgaged Property is located, as determined by the Special Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and, if applicable, any secured creditor impaired property policy issued on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including that the environmental assessment identify any potential pollution conditions (as defined in the environmental insurance policy) with respect to the related Mortgaged Property).

-239-

The Master Servicer shall advance the cost of preparation of such environmental assessments unless the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence in the manner set forth in Section 3.06 of this Agreement. Copies of any environmental assessment prepared pursuant to Section 3.10(e) of this Agreement shall be provided to the Holder of any Principal Balance Certificates and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder upon written request to the Special Servicer.

(g)          If the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(i) of this Agreement that a Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws, but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan), to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, or if the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(ii) of this Agreement that the circumstances referred to therein relating to Hazardous Materials are present, but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan), to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of Hazardous Materials affecting such Mortgaged Property as is required by law or regulation, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan). The Master Servicer shall pay the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation from the Collection Account.

(h)          The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan which is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the IRS and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via IRS Form 1099C, all forgiveness of indebtedness to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, if affected, to any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.

Section 3.11      Trustee and Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall

-240-

immediately notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian and, if affected, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder by delivery of a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Trust Fund.

From time to time upon request of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release, the Trustee (or a Custodian on its behalf) shall promptly release the Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) designated in such Request for Release to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon return of the foregoing to the Custodian, or in the event of a liquidation or conversion of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination into an REO Property, receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination has become an REO Property, the Custodian shall deliver a copy of the Request for Release to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.

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

If from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of, or otherwise properly servicing, such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer or other similar party requests delivery to it of the original Note for such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, then such party shall deliver a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto to the Custodian and the Custodian shall release (or cause the release of) such original Note to the requesting party or its designee. In connection with the release of the original Note for an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Custodian shall obtain such documentation as is appropriate to evidence the holding by the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer or such other similar party, as the case may be, of such original Note as custodian on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustee.

Section 3.12      Servicing Fees, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees and Special Servicing Compensation.

(a)          As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including each Mortgage Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan and each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), each REO Mortgage Loan, each Serviced Companion Loan (including each Serviced Companion Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan) and each REO Companion Loan that is included as part of a Serviced Loan Combination and each Interest Accrual Period, to the Servicing Fee, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and/or, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination or portion thereof, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account as set forth in Section 3.06(a)(iii) and Section 3.06(a)(vii) and/or Section 3.06A of this Agreement, as applicable. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as additional servicing compensation (the following items, collectively, “Additional Servicing Compensation”), (i) 100% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a Performing Serviced Loan consented to by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement that did not require the approval of the Special Servicer, (ii) 50% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a Performing Serviced Loan consented to by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement (whether or not the Special Servicer elects to handle any related processing), (iii) 100% of any defeasance fee received in connection with a defeasance of a Serviced Loan as contemplated under Section 3.09 of this Agreement (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include the Special Servicer’s portion of any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance to which the Special Servicer is entitled under this Agreement), (iv) 100% of any Assumption Fees with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan involving a transaction described in the definition of “Assumption Fees” consented to by the Master Servicer that did not require the approval of the Special Servicer, (v) 50% of any Assumption Fees with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan involving a transaction described in the definition of “Assumption Fees” consented to by the Special Servicer (whether or not the Special Servicer elects to handle any related processing), (vi) the aggregate Prepayment Interest Excess (exclusive of any portion thereof attributable to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), but only to the extent such amount is not required to be included in any Compensating Interest Payment, in each case to the extent received and not required to be deposited or retained in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement, (vii) 100% of Ancillary Fees (other than fees for insufficient or returned checks) actually received from Mortgagors with respect to the accounts held by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or the related Loan Documents, including the Collection Account or any related subaccount, any Escrow Account or related subaccount, any Loan Combination Custodial Account or related subaccount, any Lock-Box Account or related subaccount or any reserve account or related subaccount, (viii) 100% of assumption application fees actually received from Mortgagors on Performing Serviced Loans (if the related assumption was processed by the Master Servicer), (ix) 100% of Consent Fees with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan that did not require the approval of, or processing by, the Special Servicer, (x) 50% of any Consent Fees with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan consented to by the Special Servicer (regardless of whether the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processes the related servicing matter), (xi) 100% of Excess Penalty Charges paid by the Mortgagors with respect to any Serviced Loan other than Excess Penalty Charges accrued during the period such Serviced Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to any collections

-242-

of Excess Penalty Charges that represent amounts accrued while the related Serviced Loan is a Performing Serviced Loan even if collected when the Serviced Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), and (xii) 100% of fees for insufficient or returned checks actually received from Mortgagors on all Serviced Loans; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to apply or retain any amounts described in clauses (i) through (v) above as additional compensation with respect to a specific Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, with respect to which a default or event of default thereunder has occurred and is continuing unless and until such default or event of default has been cured (or has been waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and all delinquent amounts required to have been paid by the Mortgagor, Advance Interest Amounts and Additional Trust Fund Expenses (other than Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) both (x) due with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, and (y) in the case of expense items, that arose within the last 12 months, have been paid. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to, and to the extent provided for in Sections 3.06(a)(iii), Section 3.06(A) and Section 3.07(b), to withdraw from the Collection Account and the Loan Combination Custodial Accounts and to receive from any Mortgagor Accounts (to the extent not payable to the related Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or applicable law) any interest or other income earned on deposits therein. Interest or other income earned on funds in the Collection Account, Loan Combination Custodial Account and Mortgagor Accounts (to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents), shall be paid to the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation and interest or other income earned on funds in any REO Account shall be payable to the Special Servicer. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to charge and retain reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request with respect to any Performing Serviced Loan, to the extent such fees are (i) not inconsistent with the related Loan Documents, (ii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (iii) actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor. The Special Servicer shall not be permitted to waive any such review fee without the Master Servicer’s consent.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Excess Modification Fee, Assumption Fee, Consent Fee or other fee with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan that is required to be split between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right in its sole discretion, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any such fee; provided, however (x) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the percentage interest of any fee due to the other and (y) to the extent either of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge such fee shall not have any right to share in any portion of the other party’s fee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall still be entitled to charge the portion of the related fee the Special Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall only apply to Performing Serviced Loans and, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, shall not prohibit any waiver or reduction by the Special Servicer of any fee payable by the Mortgagor with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or

otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), in either case, to any Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Plan); provided that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit CC-1 to this Agreement, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit CC-2 to this Agreement. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right without registration or qualification. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association hereby agrees, and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Securities Act or other applicable federal and state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose any information received in connection with its acquisition and holding of such Excess Servicing Fee Right in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act. From time to time following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Person then acting as the Master Servicer shall pay, out of each amount paid to such Master Servicer as Servicing Fees with respect to each related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one (1) Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fees to the Master Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to the Master Servicer. The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder, including all fees of any Sub-Servicers retained by it.

-244-

The Master Servicer will not be entitled to retain any portion of Excess Interest paid on any Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, in no event shall Servicing Fees with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), and in no event shall Servicing Fees with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. In addition, with respect to any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, in no event shall Servicing Fees with respect to such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. This paragraph is in no way intended to limit the rights, if any, of the Master Servicer under the related Co-Lender Agreement to seek payment of unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan from the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.

(b)          As compensation for its activities hereunder, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall be entitled with respect to each Mortgage Loan to its portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee, and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled with respect to each Mortgage Loan to its portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee. The Certificate Administrator shall pay the Trustee the Trustee’s portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee includes all routine expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Administrator and the Authenticating Agent. Each of the Trustee’s and Certificate Administrator’s rights to the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

(c)          As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan (including each Serviced Companion Loan that is included as part of each Serviced Loan Combination) in respect of each Interest Accrual Period to the Special Servicing Fee, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and/or, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination or portion thereof, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account as set forth in Section 3.06(a) and Section 3.06A. The Special Servicer’s rights to the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as additional servicing compensation (the following items, collectively, the “Additional Special Servicing Compensation”): (i) 50% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a Performing Serviced Loan consented to by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement (whether or not the Special Servicer elects to handle any related processing); (ii) 100% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a Specially Serviced Loan consented to by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement; (iii) 100% of any Assumption Fees with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan; (iv) 50% of any Assumption Fees with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan involving a transaction described in the definition of “Assumption Fees” consented to by the Special Servicer (whether or not the Special Servicer elects to handle any related processing); (v) 100% of Ancillary Fees (other than fees for insufficient or returned

-245-

checks) actually received from Mortgagors with respect to accounts held by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or the related Loan Documents, including the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and any REO Accounts; (vi) 100% of assumption application fees actually received from Mortgagors on (a) Specially Serviced Loans and (b) Performing Serviced Loans if the related assumption was processed by the Special Servicer; (vii) 100% of Consent Fees with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan; (viii) 50% of any Consent Fees with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan consented to by the Special Servicer (regardless of whether the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processes the related servicing matter); (ix) 100% of Excess Penalty Charges accrued with respect to any Serviced Loan during the period such Serviced Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan and actually received from the Mortgagors (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to any collections of Excess Penalty Charges that represent amounts accrued while the related Serviced Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan even if collected when the Serviced Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan); and (x) any interest or other income earned on deposits in the REO Accounts and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to charge and retain reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or with respect to any Performing Serviced Loan as to which the Mortgagor request relates to a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision, to the extent such fees are (i) not inconsistent with the related Loan Documents, (ii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (iii) actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall not be permitted to waive any such review fee without the Special Servicer’s consent.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Excess Modification Fee, Assumption Fee, Consent Fee or other fee with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan that is required to be split between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right in its sole discretion, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any such fee; provided, however (x) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the percentage interest of any fee due to the other and (y) to the extent either of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge such fee shall not have any right to share in any portion of the other party’s fee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall still be entitled to charge the portion of the related fee the Special Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall only apply to Performing Serviced Loans and, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, shall not prohibit any waiver or reduction by the Special Servicer of any fee payable by the Mortgagor with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Special Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder.

The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan. The

-246-

Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns: (1) it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans or Serviced Loan Combinations that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation, except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; and (2) it will receive any Workout Fees payable in respect of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination that was, at the time of that termination or resignation, a Specially Serviced Loan for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three consecutive full and timely Monthly Payments as described in clause (w) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan” and which thereafter becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three consecutive full and timely Monthly Payments as described in clause (w) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan”, except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. In either case, the successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Liquidation Fee (other than with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) payable out of the Liquidation Proceeds prior to the deposit of the Net Liquidation Proceeds in the Collection Account or the Loan Combination Custodial Account, as applicable. However, no Liquidation Fee will be payable with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or in connection with, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds as set forth in the final two provisos of the definition of “Liquidation Fee” herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to receive both a Liquidation Fee and a Workout Fee with respect to any specific collections or proceeds on any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination. For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.12(c), a termination and removal of the Special Servicer under Section 6.08 of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a termination without cause.

If at any time a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to collect the amount of any Special Servicing Fee, Liquidation Fee and/or Workout Fee from the related Mortgagor pursuant to the related Loan Documents, including exercising all remedies available under such Loan Documents that would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard, specifically taking into account the costs or likelihood of success of any such collection efforts and the Realized Loss and VRR Realized Loss that would be incurred by Certificateholders in connection therewith as opposed to the Realized Loss and VRR Realized Loss that would be incurred as a result of not collecting such amounts from the related Mortgagor.

The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Liquidation Fee with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Outside Serviced Companion Loan. In addition, the Special Servicer will not be entitled to retain any portion of Excess Interest paid on any Mortgage Loan.

-247-

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, in no event shall Special Servicing Compensation with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), and in no event shall Special Servicing Compensation with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. In addition, with respect to any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, unless otherwise provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement, in no event shall Special Servicing Compensation with respect to such Companion Loan (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. This paragraph is in no way intended to limit the rights of the Special Servicer under the related Co-Lender Agreement to seek payment of unpaid Special Servicing Compensation with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan from the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.

(d)          The Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund for the costs and expenses incurred by them in the performance of their duties under this Agreement which are “unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(iii). Such expenses shall include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, environmental assessments, Appraisals in connection with foreclosure, the fees and expenses of any administrative or judicial proceeding and expenses expressly identified as reimbursable in Section 3.06(a)(vi) of this Agreement.

(e)          No provision of this Agreement or of the Certificates shall require the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder or thereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if, in the good faith business judgment of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, repayment of such funds would not be ultimately recoverable from late payments, Net Insurance Proceeds, Net Condemnation Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds and other collections on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Loan Combination (to the extent recovery is permitted from a Serviced Loan Combination hereunder) or from adequate indemnity from other assets comprising the Trust Fund against such risk or liability.

If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee receives a request or inquiry from a Mortgagor, any Certificateholder or any other Person the response to which would, in the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Operating Advisor’s commercially reasonable judgment or the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s good faith business judgment require the assistance of Independent legal counsel or other consultant to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee the cost of which would not be an expense of the Trust Fund hereunder, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to take any action in response to such request or inquiry unless the Mortgagor or such Certificateholder or such other Person, as applicable, makes arrangements for the payment of the Master Servicer’s, the Special

-248-

Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s expenses associated with such counsel (including, without limitation, posting an advance payment for such expenses) satisfactory to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee as the case may be, in its sole discretion. Unless such arrangements have been made, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee as the case may be, shall have no liability to any Person for the failure to respond to such request or inquiry.

(f)          With respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer, within two Business Days following the related Determination Date, and the Master Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received such information, to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and within one Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, an electronic report that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates during the related Collection Period; provided, that no such report shall be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.

(g)          The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees or rebates) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Mortgagor, any Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan and any purchaser of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Serviced Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.12; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees or the fees received by any Person acting as an Outside Servicer or Outside Special Servicer as expressly provided for under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, or as master servicer or special servicer as expressly provided for under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement governing the securitization of a Serviced Companion Loan.

(h)          If a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the related Servicing Shift Date, the Special Servicer shall service and administer the related Loan Combination and any related REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property and shall be entitled to all rights and compensation earned with respect to the related Loan Combination during the period for which it acts as Special Servicer of the related Loan Combination. With respect to a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the related Servicing Shift Date, no other special servicer will be entitled to any such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan is still a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan on the related Servicing Shift Date, the related Outside Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect to the related Loan Combination as if the Special Servicer were being terminated as Special Servicer and the related Outside Special Servicer were replacing it as the successor special servicer. Upon receipt of notice of its termination as Special Servicer with respect to a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the related Outside Special Servicer in connection with

-249-

the servicing transition of such Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan on and after the related Servicing Shift Date.

Section 3.13      Compensating Interest Payments. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account (other than the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment described below that is allocable to a Serviced Companion Loan) on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor, an amount, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, equal to the lesser of:

(i) the aggregate of all Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with voluntary Principal Prepayments received in respect of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (in each case other than a Specially Serviced Loan or a Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan on which the Special Servicer allowed a prepayment on a date other than the applicable Due Date) for the related Distribution Date; and

(ii) the aggregate of (A) that portion of the Master Servicer’s Servicing Fees for the related Distribution Date that is, in the case of each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and REO Loan for which such Servicing Fees are being paid in such Collection Period, calculated at a rate of 0.00250% per annum, and (B) all Prepayment Interest Excesses received by the Master Servicer during such Collection Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans (and, so long as a Loan Combination is serviced under this Agreement, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) subject to prepayment and net investment earnings on such Prepayment Interest Excesses. In no event will the rights of the Certificateholders to the offset of the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls be cumulative.

If a Prepayment Interest Shortfall occurs with respect to a Mortgage Loan as a result of the Master Servicer allowing the related Mortgagor to deviate (a “Prohibited Prepayment”) from the terms of the related Loan Documents regarding Principal Prepayments (other than (w) if the Mortgage Loan is an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, (x) subsequent to a default under the related Loan Documents or if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, (y) pursuant to applicable law or a court order or otherwise in such circumstances where the Master Servicer is required to accept such principal prepayment in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or (z) in connection with the payment of any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds), then for purposes of calculating the Compensating Interest Payment for the related Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall pay, without regard to clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph, the amount of the Prepayment Interest Shortfall with respect to such Mortgage Loan otherwise described in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph in connection with such Prohibited Prepayment.

Compensating Interest Payments with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination shall be allocated between the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) in accordance with their respective principal amounts, and the Master Servicer

-250-

shall pay the portion of such Compensating Interest Payments allocable to a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the holder thereof.

Section 3.14      Application of Penalty Charges and Modification Fees.

(a)          On or prior to the second Business Day before each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall apply all Penalty Charges and Modification Fees (to the extent permitted under any related Co-Lender Agreement (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination) and not applied pursuant to Section 3.06A(a)(ii) or Section 3.06(a)(ii), as applicable, of this Agreement) received by it with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, including an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan (to the extent allocable to such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement and remitted to the Master Servicer by the related Outside Servicer) during the related Collection Period, as follows:

(i)           first, to the extent of all Penalty Charges and Modification Fees (in such order), to pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, for all outstanding Advances (including unreimbursed Advances that have been determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) and the related Advance Interest Amounts and other outstanding Additional Trust Fund Expenses (exclusive of Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) other than Borrower Delayed Reimbursements, in each case, with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination;

(ii)          second, to the extent of all remaining Penalty Charges and Modification Fees (in such order), as a reimbursement to the Trust of all Advances (and related Advance Interest Amounts) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination previously determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances and previously reimbursed to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (and such amounts will be retained or deposited in the Collection Account as recoveries of such Nonrecoverable Advances and related Advance Interest Amounts) other than Borrower Delayed Reimbursements;

(iii)         third, to the extent of all remaining Penalty Charges and Modification Fees (in such order), as a reimbursement to the Trust of all other Additional Trust Fund Expenses (exclusive of Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination previously paid from the Collection Account or related Loan Combination Custodial Account (and such amounts will be retained or deposited in the Collection Account or related Loan Combination Custodial Account as recoveries of such Additional Trust Fund Expenses) other than Borrower Delayed Reimbursements; and

(iv)        fourth, to the extent of any remaining Penalty Charges and any remaining Modification Fees, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as servicing compensation, pro rata, based on their entitlement set forth in Section 3.12 of this Agreement prior to the applications set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above;

provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Loan Combination, Penalty Charges shall be allocated for the purposes and in the order set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

-251-

(b)          In connection with the operation of the provisions of this Section 3.14, not later than the 25th day of the month in which each Distribution Date occurs (beginning with the 25th day of the month following the first Collection Period in which an Additional Trust Fund Expense, Advance or Advance Interest Amount is incurred), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Special Servicer a report in the form reasonably agreed to by both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer setting forth information regarding (1) the amount of Penalty Charges, Modification Fees and Assumption Fees collected by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, and (2) the related loan expenses and other amounts paid to the Trust from such Penalty Charges, Modification Fees and Assumption Fees, in each case for the related Collection Period or other reporting period as agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Master Servicer shall respond promptly to any inquiries of the Special Servicer with respect to the contents of any such report and shall provide any supporting information with respect thereto that is reasonably requested by the Special Servicer.

Section 3.15      Access to Certain Documentation. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (but only prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Depositor and any Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Holders that are, in the case of any Certificateholder or Serviced Companion Loan Holder, federally insured financial institutions, the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the OCC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other governmental or regulatory body to the jurisdiction of which any Certificateholder or Serviced Companion Loan Holder is subject, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, FDIC, OCC or any such governmental or regulatory body, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (which access shall be limited, in the case of the Serviced Companion Loan Holders or any regulatory authority seeking such access in respect of the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, to records relating to the Serviced Companion Loans). Nothing in this Section 3.15 shall detract from the obligation of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgagors, and the failure of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.15 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.15.

In connection with providing or granting any information or access pursuant to the prior paragraph to a Certificateholder, a Serviced Companion Loan Holder or any regulatory authority that may exercise authority over a Certificateholder or Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each require payment from such Certificateholder or Serviced Companion Loan Holder of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing such information or access, including copy charges and reasonable fees for employee time and for space; provided that no charge may be made if such information or access was required to be given or made available without charge under applicable law. In connection with providing Certificateholders or beneficial owners of Certificates access to the information described in the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall require (prior to affording such access) a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the

-252-

Special Servicer, as the case may be, generally to the effect that such Person is a Holder of Certificates or a beneficial holder of book entry Certificates and will keep such information confidential.

In addition, in connection with providing access to information pursuant to this Section 3.15, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may (i) affix a reasonable disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto); (ii) affix to any information provided by it a reasonable statement regarding securities law restrictions on such information and/or condition access to information on the execution of a reasonable confidentiality agreement; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan if the disclosure of such items would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege.

Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer available via telephone to verbally answer questions from the Directing Holder (unless, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Operating Advisor and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (to the extent the Risk Retention Consultation Party has consultation rights pursuant to Section 6.09), on a monthly basis, during regular business hours at such time and for such duration as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on the one hand, and the Directing Holder (unless, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Operating Advisor and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (to the extent the Risk Retention Consultation Party has consultation rights pursuant to Section 6.09), as applicable, on the other hand, shall reasonably agree, regarding the performance and servicing of the applicable Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or related REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is responsible. In any event, the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, agree to identify for the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in advance (but at least two (2) Business Days prior to the related monthly conference) the applicable Mortgage Loans (or Serviced Loan Combination) and/or REO Properties it intends to discuss. As a condition to such disclosure, the related Directing Holder shall execute a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit M-4 to this Agreement and an Investor Certification.

The Master Servicer may (but shall not be required to), in accordance with such rules and procedures as it may adopt in its sole discretion, make available through the Master Servicer’s website or otherwise, any additional information relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Serviced Companion Loans, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the related Mortgagors that is not Privileged Information, for review by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor.

The Special Servicer shall deliver (to the extent available to the Special Servicer) to the Operating Advisor such reports and other information produced or otherwise available to any Outside Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Class Representative or Certificateholders generally, as requested by the Operating Advisor in support of the performance of the Operating Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement in electronic format.

-253-

The Operating Advisor hereby agrees that it shall use the information provided to it by the Special Servicer solely for purposes of performing its duties as Operating Advisor under this Agreement and shall not disclose such information to any other Person or entity except (i) with respect to Privileged Information, pursuant to Section 3.29(j) of this Agreement, or (ii) with respect to any information other than Privileged Information, to the extent necessary to support its conclusions in its Operating Advisor Annual Report required under Section 3.29 of this Agreement or to discharge its other duties under this Agreement.

Section 3.16      Title and Management of REO Properties.

(a)          In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) is acquired for the benefit of Certificateholders (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s)) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, such Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) (either by the Trust Fund or by a single member limited liability company established for that purpose) in foreclosure, by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of a nominee of the Trustee (which shall not include the Master Servicer), or a separate trustee or co-trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holders. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Lower-Tier REMIC acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Code Section 860G(a)(8), unless (i) the IRS grants (or does not deny) an extension of time (an “REO Extension”) to sell such REO Property or (ii) the Special Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel for the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, addressed to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Lower-Tier REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which such acquisition occurred will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” (as defined in Code Section 860F) of either Trust REMIC, or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code at any time that any of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, any of the Regular Certificates or the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest is outstanding. If the Special Servicer is granted (or is not denied) the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its receiving the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust Fund payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, shall dispose of any REO Property held by the Trust Fund (i) prior to the last day of such period (taking into account extensions) by which such REO Property is required to be disposed of pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence in a manner provided under Section 3.17 of this Agreement and (ii) on the same terms and conditions as if it were the owner of such REO Property. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each

-254-

REO Property for the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(2)(B) or (i) endanger the status of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund.

(b)         The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) as are consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan)), and, in connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall only agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards or to terms that are more favorable. Consistent with the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall cause or permit to be earned with respect to such REO Property any “net income from foreclosure property,” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(c), which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions only if it has determined, and has so advised the Certificate Administrator in writing, that the earning of such income on a net after-tax basis could reasonably be expected to result in a greater recovery on behalf of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder(s), constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan)) than an alternative method of operation or rental of such REO Property that would not be subject to such a tax. The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any REO Property a segregated custodial account (each, an “REO Account”), each of which shall be an Eligible Account and (subject to any changes in the identities of the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee) shall be entitled “Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, on behalf of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, for the benefit of the registered Holders of Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2017-P7, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-P7, [IN THE CASE OF AN REO PROPERTY RELATED TO A SERVICED LOAN COMBINATION: and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as their interests may appear], REO Account.” The Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in an REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account, within one (1) Business Day after receipt, all revenues and proceeds received by it with respect to any REO Property, and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Property Protection Expenses with respect to such REO Property, including:

(i)          all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of any REO Property;

-255-

(ii)         all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of any REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;

(iii)        all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property including, if applicable, the payments of any ground rents in respect of such REO Property; and

(iv)        any taxes imposed on either Trust REMIC in respect of net income from foreclosure property in accordance with Section 4.05 of this Agreement.

To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above and the Special Servicer has provided written notice of such shortfall to the Master Servicer at least five (5) Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two (2) Business Days, provided that the written notice sets forth the nature of the emergency or the basis of the urgency) prior to the date that such amounts are due, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of such shortfall unless the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). If the Master Servicer does not make any such Advance in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall make such Advance unless the Trustee determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall use its good faith business judgment. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of such Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence, to the extent set forth in Section 3.06 and/or, if applicable, Section 3.06A of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, or, for a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account, on a monthly basis prior to the related Master Servicer Remittance Date the Net REO Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds, Net Condemnation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds received or collected from each REO Property during the related Collection Period, except that in determining the amount of any such Net REO Proceeds, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:

(i)          permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

(ii)         permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease, other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;

(iii)        authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the repair or maintenance thereof or the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination became imminent, all within the meaning of Code Section 856(e)(4)(B); or

-256-

(iv)       Directly Operate or allow any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund, unless such Person is an Independent Contractor;

unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and, if any related Serviced Companion Loan is part of a REMIC, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Code Section 860D(a)) at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

The Special Servicer shall be required to contract with an Independent Contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of any REO Property, within 90 days of the Trust Fund’s acquisition thereof (unless the Special Servicer shall have provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel that the operation and management of any REO Property other than through an Independent Contractor shall not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8)) (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund), provided that:

(i)          the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be reasonable and customary for the area and type of property and shall not be inconsistent herewith;

(ii)         any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

(iii)        none of the provisions of this Section 3.16(b) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trust Fund or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(iv)        the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.

The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

-257-

(c)         When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or the master servicer or special servicer for the related Other Securitization Trust on its behalf) a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO Property in accordance with Section 3.16(a) and Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement.

(d)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.16 shall not apply to any REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan.

Section 3.17      Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties; Sale of Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans.

(a)         The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Mortgage Loan (excluding an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) only (i) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.17, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Sections 2.03 and 9.01 of this Agreement, or (iii) (A) in the case of a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the related Co-Lender Agreement and Section 3.28 of this Agreement and (B) in the case of a Mortgage Loan with a related mezzanine loan or subordinate mortgage loan, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the related intercreditor agreement.

(b)         Promptly upon a Serviced Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan and if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, constituted a single lender) to attempt to sell such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for such Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price. Subject to the other subsections of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan. The Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any related Outside Controlling Note Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to any Excluded RRCP Mortgage Loan) and the Operating Advisor of any offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Loan. Any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is part of a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination is to be sold together with the related Mortgage Loan, subject to this Section 3.17 and any additional requirements set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(c)         The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination), the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Controlling Class Representative (prior

-258-

to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved) and the Operating Advisor not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Defaulted Loan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may offer to purchase, or purchase any Defaulted Loan pursuant hereto.

(d)          Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan for purposes of Section 3.17(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror); provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties; and provided, further, notwithstanding the immediately preceding proviso, the Purchase Price for any Defaulted Loan (and any equivalent amount for any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall be deemed a fair price in all cases, including with respect to any offer from an Interested Person. In all cases under this Agreement (except to the extent the Trustee is not required to determine whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence), in determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall (at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in mortgage loans similar to such Defaulted Loan that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this Section 3.17(d) will be covered by, and will be reimbursable by the Interested Person. The Trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on such Defaulted Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The appraiser conducting any new Appraisal for determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person represents a fair price for any Defaulted Loan shall be an Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance if no Interested Person is offering to purchase such Defaulted Loan.

(e)          Subject to Section 3.17(a) through Section 3.17(d), Section 3.17(f), Section 3.17(g) and Section 3.17(m), the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Loan, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual

-259-

costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the Loan Combination Custodial Account. Any sale of any Defaulted Loan shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any appropriations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(f)           Subject to (x) the rights of a holder of a mezzanine loan, under the respective intercreditor agreement, and (y) the rights of a Subordinate Companion Loan Holder, under the respective Co-Lender Agreement, to purchase a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination (or senior portion thereof), unless and until a Defaulted Loan is sold pursuant to this Section, the Special Servicer shall continue to service and administer such Defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard and this Agreement and shall pursue such other resolutions or recovery strategies including workout, foreclosure or sale of such Defaulted Loan, as is consistent with this Agreement and the Servicing Standard.

(g)          Any sale of a Defaulted Loan pursuant to this Section 3.17 shall be for cash only. The purchase price for any Defaulted Loan purchased under this Section 3.17 or any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan sold in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement or Outside Servicing Agreement, shall be deposited into the Collection Account or the related Loan Combination Custodial Account, as applicable, and the Trustee (or a Custodian on its behalf), upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer to the effect that such deposit has been made, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of the Defaulted Loan the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such purchaser ownership of such Defaulted Loan. In connection with any such purchase, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall deliver the related Servicing File (to the extent either has possession of such file) to such purchaser.

(h)          The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, an REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.17.

(i)          The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price within the time period specified by Section 3.16 of this Agreement. Subject to Section 3.17(m) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such REO Property. If the Special Servicer determines, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, that it will be unable to realize a fair price for any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.16 of this Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall

-260-

dispose of such REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances and, in connection therewith, shall accept the highest outstanding cash offer, regardless from whom received. The Liquidation Proceeds (net of related Liquidation Expenses) for any REO Property sold hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account or, if applicable, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account.

(j)           The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved) and the Operating Advisor not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) hereunder. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may offer to purchase, or purchase, any REO Property pursuant hereto.

(k)          Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) for purposes of Section 3.17(i) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror); provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties; and provided, further, notwithstanding the immediately preceding proviso, the Purchase Price for any such REO Property shall be deemed a fair price in all cases, including with respect to any offer from an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such REO Property, the Trustee shall (at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in properties similar to such REO Property that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such REO Property; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this Section 3.17(k) will be covered by, and will be reimbursable by the Interested Person. The Trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such REO Property, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the occupancy level and physical condition of such REO Property, the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of such REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.16 of this Agreement. The appraiser conducting any new Appraisal for determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person represents a fair price for any REO Property shall be an Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer. The cost of any such

-261-

Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance if no Interested Person is offering to purchase such REO Property.

(l)           Subject to Section 3.17(a) through Section 3.17(k) and Section 3.17(m) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account. Any sale of any Defaulted Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund or any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (except such recourse to the Trust Fund and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any appropriations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(m)         Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer for a Defaulted Loan if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists or a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved or an Excluded Mortgage Loan is involved), the Operating Advisor (if an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event exists), the Risk Retention Consultation Party (unless an Excluded RRCP Mortgage Loan is involved) and any related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable).

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer for an REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) if the Special Servicer determines

-262-

(in consultation with the related Directing Holder (unless, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, a Consultation Termination Event exists or an Excluded Mortgage Loan is involved), the Operating Advisor (if an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event exists) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (unless an Excluded RRCP Mortgage Loan is involved)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of an REO Property that corresponds to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan(s))), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of an REO Property that corresponds to a Serviced Loan Combination, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan(s))) (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).

(n)          In no event shall the Trust Fund or the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on the Trust’s behalf purchase, or pay or advance costs to purchase, any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, or any Companion Loan or any Mortgage Loan.

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

(p)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any purchase or sale of a Specially Serviced Loan pursuant to this Section 3.17 will remain subject to the cure, purchase and other rights of, in each case if applicable, any related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder as set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement and any holder of a related mezzanine loan as set forth in the related intercreditor agreement.

(q)          With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination (other than any such Loan Combination that is a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination), the parties hereto acknowledge that the related Co-Lender Agreement provides that if such Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination becomes a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.17, then the Special Servicer will be required to sell each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Serviced Mortgage Loan as a single whole loan in accordance with this Agreement and subject to any rights of the related Directing Holder and/or the holder of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan hereunder or under the related Co-Lender Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special Servicer shall not sell any such Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination if it becomes a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination without the written consent of each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (provided that such consent is not required if the consenting party is the related Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the related Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer has delivered (which delivery may be by electronic mail to the extent it would not be prohibited under the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement) to such related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (at the expense of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder to the extent permitted under the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement; provided, that to the extent an Other Securitization Trust is the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, no such expense shall be payable out of such Other Securitization Trust or by the parties to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement): (a) at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the subject Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by such related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder that are material to the price of the subject Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder may waive as to itself any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. The Controlling Class Representative and each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder will be permitted to submit an offer to purchase, and any such party is permitted to be the purchaser at any sale of, the subject Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination unless such Person is the related Mortgagor or an agent or Affiliate of the related Mortgagor.

(r)          With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination that is a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, the parties hereto acknowledge that the related Co-Lender Agreement provides that if such Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination becomes a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.17, then the Special Servicer will be required to sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Serviced Mortgage Loan as a single whole loan in accordance with this Agreement and subject to any rights of the related Directing Holder, the Controlling Class Representative and/or the holder of any related non-controlling Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan hereunder or under the related Co-

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special Servicer shall not sell any such Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination if it becomes a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination without the written consent of the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists), the related Outside Controlling Note Holder and the holder of each related non-controlling Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (provided that such consent is not required if the consenting party is the related Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the related Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer has delivered (which delivery may be by electronic mail to the extent it would not be prohibited under the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement) to the Controlling Class Representative, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder and the holder of each related non-controlling Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (at the expense of such Outside Controlling Note Holder and the holder of each related non-controlling Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, to the extent permitted under the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement): (a) at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the subject Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by the Controlling Class Representative, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder and the holder of each related non-controlling Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that are material to the price of the subject Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Controlling Class Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that the Controlling Class Representative, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder and the holder of each related non-controlling Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan may each waive as to itself any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence.

(s)          With respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan upon becoming a “Defaulted Mortgage Loan” (as such term or any analogous term is defined pursuant to the terms of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement), and with respect to any REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the liquidation of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or such REO Property shall be administered by the related Outside Special Servicer in accordance with the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement. Any such sale of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property pursuant to the applicable

-265-

Outside Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price for such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or such REO Property accepted on behalf of the Trust. Any proceeds of such a sale received by the Trust Fund shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account.

Section 3.18      Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer; Inspections; Obligation to Notify Ground Lessors; Delivery of Certain Reports to the Serviced Companion Loan Holder.

(a)          The Master Servicer (or, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties, the Special Servicer) shall inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Loan at such times and in such manner as are consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any event at least once every calendar year with respect to such Mortgaged Property relating to Serviced Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of $2,000,000 or more and at least once every other calendar year with respect to such Mortgaged Property relating to Serviced Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of less than $2,000,000, in each case commencing in 2018; provided that the Master Servicer is not required to inspect any Mortgaged Property that has been inspected by the Special Servicer during the preceding 12 months. If any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the related Mortgaged Property shall be inspected by the Special Servicer as soon as practicable and thereafter at least every calendar year for so long as such condition exists. The cost of any annual inspection, or bi-annual inspection, as the case may be, shall be borne by the Master Servicer unless the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination is a Specially Serviced Loan. The Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for the cost of any inspection of a Specially Serviced Loan as a Property Advance (or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance) and any out-of-pocket costs incurred with respect to such inspection shall be borne by the Trust Fund. The Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of each such inspection performed by it pursuant to this Section 3.18(a), and shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following completion, deliver or make available a copy (in electronic format) of each such report to the Certificate Administrator (who shall post such report to the Certificate Administrator’s Website for review by Privileged Persons in accordance with Section 4.02(a)).

(b)          The Master Servicer shall, as to each Mortgage Loan (excluding an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) which is secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a Ground Lease, even if the corresponding fee interest is encumbered, promptly (and in any event within 60 days following the later of the Closing Date or its receipt of a copy of the Ground Lease) notify the related ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that any notices of default under the related Ground Lease should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall forward to the Special Servicer any written notice of default under a ground lease.

(c)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each promptly prepare or cause to be prepared and deliver to each Serviced Companion Loan Holder a written report,

-266-

prepared in the manner set forth in Section 4.02, of each inspection performed by it with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and Serviced Companion Loan related thereto.

(d)          The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to exercise any rights granted under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement in favor of the Trust (or a party on its behalf) as the holder of each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan to obtain information from the related Outside Servicer (or other similar parties with an obligation to make advances) in connection with making nonrecoverability determinations. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to any related Outside Servicer, upon request, such information in the Master Servicer’s possession as the related Outside Servicer reasonably requests in order to determine whether an advance similar to a P&I Advance would be “nonrecoverable.”

(e)          If required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to each Serviced Companion Loan Holder or provide electronically: (i) copies of operating statements and rent rolls; (ii) annual CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheets (with annual operating statements as exhibits); and (iii) annual CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Reports, in each case prepared, received or obtained by it pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Mortgaged Properties securing the related Serviced Companion Loan.

Section 3.19      Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts.

Except with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall administer each Lock-Box Account and Escrow Account in accordance with the related Mortgage or Loan Agreement or Lock-Box Agreement, if any, and administer any letters of credit pursuant to the related letter of credit agreement and the Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any cash amounts are held in an Escrow Account or other cash collateral account and the mortgagee under the related Loan Documents is permitted, but not required, to apply such amounts to prepay the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination), neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall apply such amounts to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) until after the occurrence of an event of default under the Mortgage Loan that may result in the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) being accelerated or becoming a Specially Serviced Loan.

Section 3.20      Property Advances.

(a)          Except with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.20(b) of this Agreement, the Trustee) shall make any Property Advances as and to the extent incidental to the performance of its duties under this Agreement or otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that no Property Advances shall be made with regard to a Subordinate Companion Loan if the related Mortgage Loan is no longer held by the Trust. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder not less than five (or, in the case of Emergency Advances pursuant to Section 3.20(e) of this Agreement, two) Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Property Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan). In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder with such information in

-267-

its possession as the Master Servicer, the Trustee or such Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, may reasonably request to enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to determine whether a requested Property Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such notice by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer of a required Property Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Property Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination. In the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, all determinations of recoverability with respect to Property Advances to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee will remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. On the fourth Business Day before each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer the Special Servicer’s determination as to whether any Property Advance previously made with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance promptly after making such determination. The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on and shall be bound by such a determination and shall be bound by a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance previously made or contemplated to be made with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Although the Special Servicer may determine whether a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Special Servicer will have no right to (i) make an affirmative determination that any Property Advance previously made or to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is, or would be, recoverable or (ii) reverse any determination that may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that any Property Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that this sentence will not be construed to limit the Special Servicer’s right to make a determination that a Property Advance to be made (or contemplated to be made) would be, or a previously made Advance is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, as described in this Section 3.20. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Property Advances for the purposes of non-recoverability determinations as if such amounts were unreimbursed Property Advances.

For purposes of distributions to Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Holders and compensation to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, Property Advances shall not be considered to increase the principal balance of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination so provide.

(b)          The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Special Servicer and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder in writing promptly upon, and in any event within one (1) Business Day after, becoming aware that it will be unable to make any Property Advance required to be made pursuant to the terms hereof, and in connection therewith, shall set forth in such notice the amount of such Property Advance, the Person to whom it will be paid, and the circumstances and purpose of such Property Advance, and shall set forth therein information and instructions for the payment of such Property Advance, and, on the date specified in such notice for the payment of such Property Advance, or, if the date for payment has passed or if no such date is specified, then within five (5) Business Days following such notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 3.20(c) of this Agreement, shall pay the amount of such Property Advance in accordance with such information and instructions. Any notice to the Trustee pursuant to this

-268-

Section shall be deemed to be given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee if made in accordance with Section 12.04 of this Agreement.

(c)          None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be obligated to make a Property Advance as to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or REO Property if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that such Advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Property Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Property Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance previously made or proposed to be made is or would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by such Person (i) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (ii) in the case of the Trustee, in accordance with its good faith business judgment and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered on or prior to the next Master Servicer Remittance Date to (1) the affected Serviced Companion Loan Holders or their Companion Loan Holder representatives (and the related master servicer and special servicer under any related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if applicable), in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, (2) the Trustee (unless it is the Person making the determination), (3) the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event), (4) in the case of a Property Advance with respect to any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder, (5) the Master Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), (6) the Special Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), and (7) the Depositor (if the Trustee is making the determination), setting forth the basis for such determination, together with any other information that supports such determination together with a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which Appraisal shall be an expense of the Trust Fund, shall take into account any material change in circumstances of which such Person is aware or such Person has received new information, either of which has a material effect on the value and shall have been conducted in accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the twelve months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent available and/or in such Person’s possession) and any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that such Person may have obtained and that support such determination. In connection with a determination by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee as to whether a Property Advance previously made or to be made constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance:

(A)          any such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is” or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries;

-269-

(B)          any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and may obtain at the expense of the Trust Fund any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information as reasonably may be required for such purposes;

(C)          the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any proposed Property Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any outstanding Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance and may deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and, in the case of a Property Advance with respect to a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder notice of such determination, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a Property Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance);

(D)          the Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a Property Advance is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance;

(E)           any non-recoverability determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.20 with respect to the non-recoverability of Property Advances shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer (in the case of such a determination by the Special Servicer) and the Trustee; and

(F)           notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that any Property Advance would be recoverable (unless a non-recoverability determination has been made by the other servicer in accordance with clause (E) above which is binding on the Trustee), and the Master Servicer may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Special Servicer that any Property Advance would be recoverable.

(d)          The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of Property Advances made by any of them to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) or Section 3.06A(a)(ii) of this Agreement, together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such Property Advances, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereby covenant and agree to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain the reimbursement of such Property Advances from the related Mortgagors to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Loan Documents.

-270-

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

(f)          Within five (5) Business Days of making an Emergency Advance pursuant to the proviso to the penultimate sentence of Section 3.20(e), the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer a request for reimbursement for such Emergency Advance, along with all information and documentation regarding the subject Emergency Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of such Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any such unreimbursed Emergency Advances (other than any Emergency Advance determined by the Master Servicer, in accordance with Section 3.20(c) of this Agreement, to be a Nonrecoverable Property Advance) made by the Special Servicer pursuant to the proviso to the penultimate sentence of Section 3.20(e), together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of interest shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Special Servicer. Upon the Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the Special Servicer of any Emergency Advance and payment to the Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.20(f), the Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Emergency Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer actually made such Emergency Advance, and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such Emergency Advance, together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made such Emergency Advance at the time the Special Servicer did. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.20(f), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer for any Emergency Advance if the Master Servicer determines in accordance with Section 3.20(c) of this Agreement that such Emergency Advance,

-271-

although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Property Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Property Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement.

Section 3.21      Appointment of Special Servicer; Asset Status Reports.

(a)          Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC is hereby appointed as the initial Special Servicer to specially service each of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) and each Serviced Loan Combination.

(vii)       such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the proposed or taken action and the Servicing Standard.

the related Directing Holder, a Control Termination Event does not exist and such Asset Status Report does not relate to an Excluded Mortgage Loan) and the Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination contemplated below, the Special Servicer will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Operating Advisor (subject to Section 3.21(e) of this Agreement), the related Directing Holder (but, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only if such Asset Status Report does not relate to an Excluded Mortgage Loan), the Risk Retention Consultation Party (if such Asset Status Report does not relate to any Excluded RRCP Mortgage Loan), the Certificate Administrator, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after such disapproval. The Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above until the related Directing Holder (but, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, only if a Control Termination Event does not exist and only if an Excluded Mortgage Loan is not involved) shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within 10 Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, and/or Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s), if applicable, constitute a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)). The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section. If the related Directing Holder does not approve an Asset Status Report within 60 Business Days from the first submission thereof, the Special Servicer shall take such action as directed by the related Directing Holder (but, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, only if a Control Termination Event does not exist and only if an Excluded Mortgage Loan is not involved), provided such action does not violate the Servicing Standard (or, if such action would violate the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall take such action as was reflected in the most recent Asset Status Report prepared by the Special Servicer with respect to the subject Serviced Loan that is consistent with the Servicing Standard and such Asset Status Report shall be deemed a Final Asset Status Report). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s), or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (if applicable) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the related Directing Holder (during the period that such Directing Holder has approval rights); provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Special Servicer of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard. If the Special Servicer acts or intends to act in accordance with the prior sentence, then the Special Servicer shall act in accordance with the most recent applicable Asset Status Report provided by the Special Servicer with respect to the subject

-274-

Serviced Loan that is consistent with the Servicing Standard and such Asset Status Report shall be deemed a Final Asset Status Report. To the extent that the Special Servicer received notice of an Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan (in the form of Exhibit M-1C or M-1F), any Asset Status Report or Excluded Information delivered with respect to an Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan shall be labeled by the Special Servicer with “Excluded Information” followed by the loan number and loan name.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Operating Advisor in connection with each Asset Status Report prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and the Operating Advisor shall propose, by written notice, alternative courses of action within 10 Business Days of receipt of each Asset Status Report to the extent the Operating Advisor determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that were previously included in the Control Eligible Classes), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall also consult on a non-binding basis with the Controlling Class Representative in connection with each related Asset Status Report (other than any Asset Status Report with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan) prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and the Controlling Class Representative shall be permitted to propose alternative courses of action within 10 Business Days of receipt of each Asset Status Report (other than any Asset Status Report with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan). Furthermore, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, at all times if and to the extent so provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) shall be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action in respect of any Asset Status Report within 10 Business Days of receiving such Asset Status Report; provided that, in the case of a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) may be the related Outside Controlling Note Holder. The Special Servicer shall consider any such proposals from (a) the Operating Advisor (during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event), (b) the Controlling Class Representative (during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Serviced Loan that is not an Excluded Mortgage Loan) or (c) with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) (if and when provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement), as applicable, and determine whether any changes to its proposed Asset Status Report should be made, such determination being made in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the other terms of this Agreement, but the Special Servicer will be under no obligation to revise such Asset Status Report based on the input or comments of the Operating Advisor or (during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) the Controlling Class Representative or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan and subject to the related Co-Lender Agreement, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative). In the event that the Operating Advisor, the Controlling Class Representative, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative), or the related Outside Controlling Note Holder, as applicable, does not propose alternative courses of action within

-275-

10 Business Days after receipt of such Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the Asset Status Report as proposed by the Special Servicer.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent or object to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.21(b). After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative, and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event, the Operating Advisor, will be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Operating Advisor after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Trigger Consultation Event or the Controlling Class Representative after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating Advisor or Controlling Class Representative. From and after the Closing Date, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report related to an Excluded Mortgage Loan or otherwise to consent or object thereto under this Section 3.21(b) or consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any matter set forth therein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report with respect to any Excluded RRCP Mortgage Loan.

With respect to a Servicing Shift Loan Combination that is a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, prior to the related Servicing Shift Date, no request for approval of the Controlling Class Representative shall be made on any matter related to such Servicing Shift Loan Combination, nor shall the Controlling Class Representative have the right to approve Asset Status Reports related to such Servicing Shift Loan Combination, except that the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only if the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Mortgage Loan) may exercise the consultation rights, if any, of the holder of the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan with respect to Asset Status Reports set forth in the applicable Co-Lender Agreement. With respect to a Servicing Shift Loan Combination that is a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination and any related REO Property, prior to the related Servicing Shift Date, the Outside Controlling Note Holder with respect to such Servicing Shift Loan Combination shall exercise all approval rights regarding any Asset Status Report in respect of such Servicing Shift Loan Combination or REO Property set forth in the second paragraph of this Section 3.21(b) without regard to the occurrence of any Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event, the Operating Advisor will be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report for a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan while it is serviced hereunder. The Special Servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Operating Advisor after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Trigger Consultation Event or the Controlling Class Representative after the

-276-

occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating Advisor or Controlling Class Representative.

(c)          Subject to Section 3.21(b) of this Agreement, during the continuance of a Servicing Transfer Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the related Mortgagors and take any actions consistent with the Servicing Standard and the most recent Asset Status Report for the related Mortgage Loan.

(d)          Upon request of any Certificateholder (or any Certificate Owner, if applicable, which shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with an Investor Certification), the Certificate Administrator shall mail, without charge, to the address specified in such request a copy of the Final Asset Status Report for each Specially Serviced Loan; provided that an Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall not be provided with any Final Asset Status Report (or copy thereof) with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan with respect to which such Excluded Controlling Class Holder is a Borrower Party.

(e)          Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor only each related Final Asset Status Report.

(f)          With respect to any Asset Status Report provided to the Operating Advisor pursuant to this Section 3.21, the Special Servicer shall make available to the Operating Advisor Servicing Officers with relevant knowledge regarding the applicable Mortgage Loan and such Asset Status Report in order to address reasonable questions that the Operating Advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Asset Status Report and potential conflicts of interest and compensation with respect to such Asset Status Report.

(g)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Operating Advisor, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, any Companion Loan Holder Representative or the related Directing Holder that would require or cause the Special Servicer to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate provisions of this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, any related Loan Documents, any related Co-Lender Agreement or any intercreditor agreement, expose any Certificateholder, the Trust Fund, any Mortgage Loan Seller (other than with respect to enforcing the rights and remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Material Defect) or any party to this Agreement or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability, cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, materially expand the scope of any Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or any Co-Lender Agreement, or cause the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner that in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and/or the Serviced Companion Loan

-277-

Holders. In addition, the Special Servicer is under no obligation to act upon any recommendation of the Operating Advisor.

The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the date such Serviced Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan and in any event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Serviced Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Serviced Loan, which shall occur upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the Servicing File. With respect to each such Serviced Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to continue to remit all payments in respect of such Serviced Loan to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Mortgagor of such a Specially Serviced Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the related Mortgagor.

Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Loan has become a Corrected Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the related Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event with respect to the related Mortgage Loan) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider and, upon giving such notice and the return of the Servicing File to the Master Servicer, such Serviced Loan shall cease to be a Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with the first proviso of the definition of Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service such Serviced Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Master Servicer to service and administer such Serviced Loan as a Serviced Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan shall resume.

(f)          The Special Servicer or Master Servicer may, as a condition to granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent to a modification, extension, waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within its discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and, further, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, require that such Mortgagor pay to it a reasonable or customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request and any related costs and expenses incurred by it; provided that the charging of such fee would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

(g)         Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall the Special Servicer be permitted to:

(i)          extend the Maturity Date of a Serviced Loan beyond a date that is 5 years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date; or

(ii)         if the Serviced Loan is secured by a ground lease, extend the Maturity Date of such Serviced Loan beyond a date which is 20 years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease, 10 years prior to the end of the current term of such ground lease, plus any options to extend exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor.

(h)         In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the related Loan Documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or require the Mortgagor to provide such calculation to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, then, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any. In connection with approving any such release or taking, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall calculate the loan-to-value ratio in a manner consistent with the prior sentence, and if such calculation is greater than 125%, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will require a payment of principal in an amount equal to or greater than a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor provisions unless the related Mortgagor provides an Opinion of Counsel that if such amount is not paid the related Mortgage Loan will not fail to be a Qualified Mortgage.

(i)          If and to the extent that the Trust is entitled to exercise any consent and/or consultation rights with respect to modifications, waivers and amendments or certain other major decisions under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, (a) any such consent rights shall be exercised by the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Control Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan) or by the Special Servicer (if a Control Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded

-284-

Mortgage Loan), in each case in accordance with Section 3.01(i), and (b) any such consultation rights shall be exercised by the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan) or by the Special Servicer (if a Consultation Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan), in each case in accordance with Section 3.01(i). The Master Servicer shall only be obligated to forward any requests received from the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer, as applicable, for such consent and/or consultation to the Special Servicer (who shall forward any such request to the Controlling Class Representative except if a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, as applicable, has occurred and is continuing or if such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer shall have no right or obligation to exercise any such consent or consultation rights.

Section 3.25      Additional Obligations With Respect to Certain Mortgage Loans.

(a)          With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) with a Stated Principal Balance in excess of $35,000,000, in connection with any replacement of the Manager for the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent permitted by the related Loan Documents, shall require a Rating Agency Confirmation and shall condition its consent to such replacement on the Mortgagor paying for such Rating Agency Confirmation.

(b)          With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), if any mezzanine loan is directly or indirectly secured by any equity interest of the related Mortgagor, the Master Servicer (if (i) the related Mortgage Loan is a Performing Serviced Loan and (ii) the performance of the particular obligation would not constitute a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision) or the Special Servicer (if (i) the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or (ii) the performance of the particular obligation would constitute a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision) shall perform the obligations of the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, or its servicer or agent under the related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement.

Section 3.26      Certain Matters Relating to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans.

(a)          With respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, in the event that any of the related Outside Trustee, the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer shall be replaced in accordance with the terms of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall acknowledge its successor as the successor to the related Outside Trustee, the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer, as the case may be, in each case with reasonable promptness following request therefor by a party to the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, with respect to each Servicing Shift Loan Combination, after the related Servicing Shift Date the related Mortgage Loan shall be an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the rights, duties and obligations of the Issuing Entity and the parties to this Agreement shall be as set forth herein with respect to Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans.

(b)          With respect to each Servicing Shift Loan Combination, prior to the related Servicing Shift Date, the Custodian shall hold the Mortgage File with respect to such Servicing

-285-

Shift Loan Combination. Following the related Servicing Shift Date and upon the transfer of servicing of the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan to the related Outside Servicing Agreement in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement, (i) the Trustee shall transfer (or cause any Custodian appointed by it to transfer) the Mortgage File (other than the Note(s) evidencing the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan and corresponding allonges, the originals of which shall be retained by the Custodian) for such Servicing Shift Loan Combination to the related Outside Trustee (provided that the Custodian shall retain a photocopy of the Mortgage File) in accordance with the provisions and conditions set forth in clause (B) of the second paragraph of Section 2.01(c) and (ii) the Master Servicer shall, upon written request, if the Master Servicer is not the related Outside Servicer, transfer the Servicing File along with any escrows or reserve funds held for such Servicing Shift Loan Combination to the related Outside Servicer.

Section 3.27      Additional Matters Regarding Advance Reimbursement.

(a)          Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii)(B) of this Agreement immediately, may elect to defer reimbursement for some or all such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one-month Collection Period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total not to exceed 12 months; provided that any deferral in excess of 6 months shall be subject to the consent of the Controlling Class Representative (or, in the case of a Property Advance with respect to a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder) (unless, if the Controlling Class Representative is the consenting party, a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, in which case the Controlling Class Representative must be consulted with unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing). If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent Collection Period (subject, again, to the same sole discretion option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii)(B) of this Agreement). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to defer reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the one-month Collection Period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections to be received before making its determination of whether to defer reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof) until the end of such Collection Period; provided, however, if, at any time the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during any Collection Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections deposited in the Collection Account for the related Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall, through a posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement,

-286-

give the Rating Agencies at least 15 days’ notice prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless (1) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days after such a notice could jeopardize the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has not timely received from the Trustee information requested by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause (1), (2) or (3) apply, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall, through a posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, give Rating Agencies notice of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances. Subject to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any notice provided to Rating Agencies contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. Any election by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to defer reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the other such parties any obligation to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period or to constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to otherwise be reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Advance immediately (together with interest thereon). Any such election by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall not be construed to impose any duty on any other such party to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election). Any such election by any such party to defer reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more Collection Periods shall not limit the accrual of interest on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement will have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders for any such election that such party makes to defer or not to defer reimbursing itself as contemplated by this paragraph or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election nor will such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. The Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, election, if any, to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance if there are principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement or to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance for an aggregate period exceeding 12 months.

-287-

(b)         If the Master Servicer is required to make a Property Advance, but does not do so within 15 days after the Property Advance is required to be made, then the Trustee will be required: (i) if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the failure, to give the Master Servicer notice of its failure; and (ii) if the failure continues for three more Business Days, to make the Advance unless the Trustee determines such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 3.28      Serviced Companion Loan Intercreditor Matters.

(a)          If, pursuant to Section 2.03, Section 3.17 or Section 9.01 of this Agreement, any Mortgage Loan that relates to a Serviced Loan Combination is purchased from, repurchased from or substituted out of, the Trust Fund, the subsequent holder thereof shall be bound by the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the holder of the Note that represents the related Mortgage Loan under such Co-Lender Agreement. All portions of the related Mortgage File and (to the extent provided under the related Loan Purchase Agreement) other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan in its capacity as the holder of the Note that represents the related Mortgage Loan (as a result of such purchase, repurchase or substitution) and (except for the actual Note) on behalf of the holder of the Note(s) that represents the Serviced Companion Loan(s). Thereafter, such Mortgage File shall be held by the holder of the Note that represents the related Mortgage Loan or a custodian appointed thereby for the benefit thereof, on behalf of itself and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan(s) as their interests appear under the related Co-Lender Agreement. If the related Servicing File is not already in the possession of such party, it shall be delivered to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under any separate servicing agreement for the Serviced Loan Combinations.

(b)         With respect to each Serviced Companion Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative hereunder may have to consult with respect to any action or other matter with respect to the servicing of such Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent the related Co-Lender Agreement provides that such right is exercisable by the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative or is exercisable in conjunction with any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, then (i) neither the Operating Advisor nor the Controlling Class Representative shall be permitted to exercise such right or (ii) to the extent provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement, the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative, as applicable, shall be required to exercise such right in conjunction with any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative, as applicable. Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with, seek the approval of, or obtain the consent of the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan or its Companion Loan Holder Representative with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of such Serviced Companion Loan to the extent required under related Co-Lender Agreement and shall not take such actions requiring consent of or consultation with the Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative without such consent or consultation. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices to the Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative (or the master servicer or special servicer for the related

-288-

Other Securitization Trust on behalf of the Serviced Companion Loan Holder) as required under the Co-Lender Agreement.

(c)         With respect to each Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, on an ongoing basis a statement setting forth, to the extent applicable to such Serviced Loan Combination:

(i)          (A) the amount of the distribution from the related Loan Combination Custodial Account allocable to principal and (B) separately identifying the amount of scheduled principal payments, balloon payments, principal prepayments made at the option of the Mortgagor or other principal prepayments (specifying the reason therefor), net liquidation proceeds and foreclosure proceeds included therein and information on distributions made with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination;

(ii)         the amount of the distribution from the related Loan Combination Custodial Account allocable to interest and the amount of Default Interest allocable to the related Serviced Loan Combination;

(iii)        the amount of the distribution to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, separately identifying the non-default interest, principal and other amounts included therein, and if the distribution to a Serviced Companion Loan Holder is less than the full amount that would be distributable to such Serviced Companion Loan Holder if there were sufficient amounts available therefor, the amount of the shortfall and the allocation thereof between interest and principal and the amount of the shortfall, if any, under the related Serviced Loan Combination;

(iv)        the principal balance of each of the related Serviced Loan Combination and related Serviced Companion Loan after giving effect to the distribution of principal on the most recent Distribution Date; and

(v)         the amount of the servicing fees paid to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to the most recent Distribution Date, showing separately the Servicing Fee, the Special Servicing Fee, the Workout Fee and the Liquidation Fee.

Not later than each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall make the foregoing statement available to the Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or the master servicer or special servicer for the related Other Securitization Trust on its behalf) by electronic means (which may include posting such information pursuant to the applicable CREFC® reports on the Master Servicer’s website) and by such other means of delivery as required under the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(d)         If any Serviced Companion Loan becomes the subject of an Other PSA Asset Review pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably cooperate (and the Trustee shall cause any Custodian appointed by it to reasonably cooperate) with the related Other Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with such Other PSA Asset Review by providing the related Other Asset Representations Reviewer with any documents reasonably requested by the related Other Asset Representations Reviewer, but only to the extent that (i) the

-289-

Other Asset Representations Reviewer has not been able to obtain such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller and (ii) such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any Custodian appointed by the Trustee, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have other obligations with respect to any such Other PSA Asset Review nor shall any such party be bound by the results of any such asset review.

(e)          Prior to the Urban Union - Amazon Pari Passu Companion Loan Securitization Date, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Urban Union - Amazon Subordinate Companion Loan Holder any information relating to the Urban Union - Amazon Loan Combination, the related Mortgagor or the related Mortgaged Property as the Urban Union - Amazon Subordinate Companion Loan Holder may reasonably request and would be customarily in the possession of, or collected or known by, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of mortgage loans similar to the Urban Union - Amazon Loan Combination and, in any event, all information that is required to be provided to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Agreement but not limited to standard CREFC® reports, provided that if an interest in the Urban Union - Amazon Subordinate Companion Loan or the Urban Union - Amazon Subordinate Companion Loan Holder is held by the related Mortgagor or a related Borrower Party, then the Urban Union - Amazon Subordinate Companion Loan Holder shall not be entitled to receive any Urban Union - Amazon Loan Combination Excluded Information.

In the event a lack of access to Privileged Information limits the Operating Advisor from performing its duties under this Agreement, the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from its lack of access to Privileged Information. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider and the Depositor, and the Certificate Administrator and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly, upon receipt, post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, respectively; provided, however, that the Operating Advisor shall

deliver to the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative (if a Serviced Loan other than a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is addressed and a Consultation Termination Event does not exist) and the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is addressed), any annual report produced by the Operating Advisor at least ten (10) calendar days prior to its delivery to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. The Operating Advisor may, but shall not be obligated to, revise the Operating Advisor Annual Report based on any comments received from the Special Servicer or the Controlling Class Representative. In the event the Special Servicer is replaced during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall only be required to prepare an Operating Advisor Annual Report relating to each entity that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31 of the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report. Only as used in connection with the Operating Advisor Annual Report and the reviews provided for in Sections 3.29(b) and 3.29(d)(i), the term “platform-level basis” refers to the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event, with respect to Major Decisions on Performing Serviced Loans, as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the Operating Advisor of any annual compliance statement, any assessment of compliance and any attestation report delivered to the Operating Advisor pursuant to Section 10.08, Section 10.09 and Section 10.10 of this Agreement, as applicable, or made available to the Operating Advisor on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, any Asset Status Report, any Major Decision Reporting Package and other information (other than any communications between the related Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or any Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative), as applicable, and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) that the Operating Advisor is required to review on the Certificate Administrator’s website or that is delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer (directly or through the Master Servicer) pursuant to this Agreement.

(e)          After the calculation but prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer of any of the calculations with respect to an applicable Specially Serviced Loan related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts, (ii) Collateral Deficiency Amounts or (iii) net present value used in the Special Servicer’s determination of the course of action to be taken in connection with the workout or liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.

-293-

In connection with this Section 3.29, in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas required to be utilized for such calculation, the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations to the Operating Advisor. In the event the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement and the Certificate Administrator shall determine which calculation is to apply. In making such determination, the Certificate Administrator may hire an independent third-party to assist with any such calculation at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(f)          After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event, the Operating Advisor shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Special Servicer in connection with (i) any Major Decision with respect to a Serviced Loan in accordance with Section 3.24, Section 6.09 and this Section 3.29 and (ii) each Asset Status Report in accordance with Section 3.21, and, in each case, the Special Servicer shall consider any alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor.

(h)         Subject to the Privileged Information Exception, the Operating Advisor will be obligated to keep confidential any Privileged Information received from the Special Servicer, the related Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) in connection with the exercise of the rights of the related Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or such related Serviced Companion Loan Holder under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the review and/or approval of any Asset Status Report), subject to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information.

(i)          The Operating Advisor shall keep Privileged Information confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders other than the Controlling Class Representative), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor, solely to the extent required in connection with its duties under this Agreement, will be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor provided such Affiliates and subcontractors of the Operating Advisor agree in writing prior to their receipt of such Privileged Information to be bound

Each of the Operating Advisor Fee and the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06 of this Agreement, but with respect to the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor. If the Operating Advisor has consultation rights with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Loan Documents, and shall deposit any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee so collected from the related Mortgagor into the Collection Account. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.

(k)         In no event shall the Operating Advisor have the power to compel any transaction party to take or refrain from taking any action.

-295-

Agency Confirmation request from the applicable Rating Agency within five (5) Business Days of such second request, whether in the form of granting or rejecting such Rating Agency Confirmation request or providing a Rating Agency Declination, then: (x) with respect to any condition in any Loan Document or related intercreditor agreement or Co-Lender Agreement requiring a Rating Agency Confirmation or any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) or (z) below), the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans if the subject action is not a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision or the Master Servicer is processing a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties and with respect to Performing Serviced Loans if the subject action is a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision processed by the Special Servicer), as applicable) shall determine (with the consent of the related Directing Holder, unless, in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing (but in each case only in the case of actions that would otherwise be Major Decisions), which consent shall be pursued by the Special Servicer and deemed given if the related Directing Holder does not respond within seven (7) Business Days of receipt of a request from the Special Servicer to consent to the Requesting Party’s determination), in accordance with its duties under this Agreement and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, except as provided in Section 3.30(b), whether or not such action would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and if the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) makes such determination, then the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation shall not apply; (y) with respect to a replacement of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, such condition shall be considered satisfied if: (1) in the case that Moody’s is the non-responding Rating Agency, (a) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, has confirmed in writing that it was appointed to act, and as of the date of determination is acting, as the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, on a transaction level basis with respect to a CMBS transaction as to which Moody’s rated one or more classes of securities and one or more of such classes of securities are still outstanding and rated by Moody’s and (b) Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other CMBS transaction serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination; (2) the applicable replacement master servicer has a master servicer rating of at least “CMS3” from Fitch or the applicable replacement special servicer has a special servicer rating of at least “CSS3” from Fitch, if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency; and (3) KBRA has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other CMBS transaction serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency, as applicable; and (z) with respect to a replacement or successor of the Operating Advisor, such condition shall be deemed to be waived with respect to any non-responding Rating Agency so long as such Rating Agency has not cited concerns regarding the replacement operating advisor as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial

-296-

mortgage-backed securities transaction with respect to which the replacement operating advisor acts as trust advisor or operating advisor prior to the time of determination.

(b)          For the purposes of clause (ii) of Section 3.30(a), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.30(a), with respect to the provisions of any Loan Document relating to defeasance (including without limitation the type of collateral acceptable for use as defeasance collateral), release or substitution of any collateral, any applicable Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the Loan Documents shall not apply, even without the determination pursuant to Section 3.30(a)(ii)(x) by the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Mortgagor, by the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans if the subject action is not a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision or the Master Servicer is processing a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties and with respect to Performing Serviced Loans if the subject action is a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision processed by the Special Servicer), as applicable); provided, that the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans if the subject action is not a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision or the Master Servicer is processing a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties and with respect to Performing Serviced Loans if the subject action is a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision processed by the Special Servicer), as applicable, shall in any event review the other conditions required under the related Loan Documents with respect to such defeasance, release or substitution and confirm to its satisfaction in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such conditions (other than the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation) have been satisfied.

(c)          For all other matters or actions (i) not specifically discussed in clause (ii) (x), (ii) (y) or (ii) (z) of Section 3.30(a) above and (ii) that are not the subject of a Rating Agency Declination, the proposed action shall not be permitted to proceed unless the applicable Requesting Party shall deliver Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

Each Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation shall be sought by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on whichever such party is seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action. The requirement to obtain a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities will be subject to, will be permitted to be waived by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer on, and will be deemed satisfied or not to apply on, the same terms and conditions applicable to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations, as set forth in this Agreement; provided, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on which is seeking the subject Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, shall forward to one or more of its counterparts (i.e., the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable), the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s counterpart for the related Other Securitization Trust, or such other party or parties (as are agreed to by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the applicable parties for the related Other Securitization Trust), at the expense of the related Other Securitization Trust to the extent not borne by the related Mortgagor, and in such format as the sender and recipient may reasonably agree, (i) the request for such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation at least two (2) Business Days before it is sent to the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency, (ii) all materials forwarded to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider under this Agreement in connection with seeking the Rating Agency Confirmation(s) for the applicable Relevant Action at approximately the same time that such materials are forwarded to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, and (iii) any other materials that the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency may reasonably request in connection with such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation promptly following such request.

(e)          Each of the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall, promptly following receipt of written request from the Special Servicer, provide to the Special Servicer the contact information for the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s counterpart for an Other Securitization Trust, in each case to the extent known to it.

When so posted, the Excluded Controlling Class Holders shall be prohibited from accessing Excluded Information with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loans on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligations to separately label and deliver any Excluded Information in accordance with this Section 3.32 until such party has received written notice with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan in the form of Exhibit M-1C to this Agreement.

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.33, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Controlling Class Representative that would require or cause such Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause such Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or cause such Special Servicer or the Master

(e)          Notwithstanding the right of the Special Servicer provided in this Section 3.33 to represent the interests of the Trust in Loan-Related Litigation, and subject to the rights of the Special Servicer to direct the Master Servicer’s actions in this Section 3.33, the Master Servicer shall retain the right to make determinations relating to claims against the Master Servicer, including but not limited to the right to engage separate counsel and to appear in any proceeding on its own behalf in the Master Servicer’s reasonable discretion, the cost of which shall be subject to indemnification as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.

(f)          Further, nothing in this Section shall require the Master Servicer, any Special Servicer or any other party to this Agreement to take or fail to take any action which, in such party’s good faith and reasonable judgment, may result in a violation of the REMIC Provisions or Grantor Trust Provisions, subject the Master Servicer, any Special Servicer or other such party to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s, any Special Servicer or such party’s obligations under this Agreement.

(g)          Notwithstanding the Master Servicer’s right to make determinations relating to claims against the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall have the right at any time in accordance with the Servicing Standard to (i) direct the Master Servicer to settle any claims asserted against the Master Servicer (whether or not the Trust or the Special Servicer is named in any such claims or Loan-Related Litigation) and (ii) otherwise reasonably direct the actions of the Master Servicer relating to claims against the Master Servicer (whether or not the Trust or the Special Servicer is named in any such claims or Loan-Related Litigation), provided in either case that (A) such settlement or other direction does not contain or require any admission of liability, wrongdoing or consent to injunctive relief on the part of the Master Servicer, (B) the cost of such settlement or any resulting judgment is and shall be paid by the Trust pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and payment of such cost or judgment is provided for in this Agreement, (C) the Master Servicer is and shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in this Agreement for all costs and expenses of the Master Servicer incurred in defending and settling the Loan-Related Litigation and for any related judgment, (D) any action taken by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer shall be deemed (as to the Master Servicer) to be in compliance with the Servicing Standard, and (E) the Special Servicer provides the Master Servicer with assurance reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer as to the items in clauses (A), (B) and (C); and provided, further, that, with respect to any material settlements with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain the consent or consultation of the Controlling Class Representative prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively.

(i)           This Section shall not apply in the event, and to the extent, that the Special Servicer authorizes the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer agrees (both authority and agreement to be in writing), to make certain decisions or control certain Loan-Related Litigation on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(j)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the requirements of the second sentence in the second paragraph of Section 3.01(a) of this Agreement and subject to the power of attorney, (x) in the event that any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, in its respective individual capacity, or in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, in its individual capacity, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may retain separate counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (y) in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Loan Documents, or otherwise relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (i) initiate an action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, whether in such capacity or individually, (ii) engage counsel to represent the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (iii) settle any claim giving rise to liability to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, in its individual capacity, or (iv) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar actions with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor to grant such consent); and (z) in the event that any court finds that the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall have the right to retain separate counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests, whether as Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); provided, however, nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to preclude the Special Servicer (with respect to any material Loan-Related Litigation with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Mortgage Loan, with the consent or consultation of the Controlling Class Representative prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively)

(c)       On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account the amounts on deposit therein, to the extent of the VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date, and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the respective Classes of the Vertically Retained Certificates and the Class R Certificates in accordance with the following three paragraphs. In connection therewith, for federal income tax purposes, the amounts distributed with respect to the respective Classes of the Vertically Retained Certificates on any Distribution Date in accordance with the following three paragraphs shall be deemed to have first been transferred to the Grantor Trust in respect of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest for the following purposes and in the following order of priority:

(i)       First, to make distributions of interest on the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest, up to an amount equal to the VRR Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date;

-308-

(ii)       Second, to make distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest, up to an amount equal to the VRR Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, until the outstanding Certificate Balance of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest has been reduced to zero; and

On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall apply the then applicable VRR Interest Percentage of the VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date to make distributions to the Holders of the VRR Interest for the following purposes and in the following order of priority:

(i)       First, distributions of interest on the VRR Interest, up to an amount equal to the then applicable VRR Interest Percentage of the VRR Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date;

(ii)       Second, distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balance of the VRR Interest, up to an amount equal to the then applicable VRR Interest Percentage of the VRR Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, until the outstanding Certificate Balance of the VRR Interest has been reduced to zero; and

(iii)      Third, reimbursements (with interest) of prior write-offs of the Certificate Balance of the VRR Interest, up to an amount equal to the unreimbursed VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the VRR Interest, plus interest in an amount equal to the then applicable VRR Interest Percentage of the VRR Realized Loss Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date;

provided that, with respect to any Distribution Date, to the extent that the then applicable VRR Interest Percentage of the VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date exceeds the distributions to the Holders of the VRR Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iii), the Certificate Administrator shall distribute such excess to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Upper-Tier Residual Interest.

On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall apply the then applicable Class V-2 Percentage of the VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date to make the distributions provided for in the next sentence, first, to the Holders of the Class V-2A Certificates, second, to the Holders of the Class V-2B Certificates, third, to the Holders of the Class V-2C Certificates, fourth, to the Holders of the Class V-2D Certificates, and last, to the Holders of the Class V-2E Certificates; provided that, with respect to any Distribution Date, to the extent that the then applicable Class V-2 Percentage of the VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date exceeds the distributions to the Holders of all Classes of the Class V-2 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the following sentence, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute such excess to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Upper-Tier Residual Interest; and provided, further, that no distributions shall be made with

-309-

respect to any Class of Class V-2 Certificates on any Distribution Date pursuant to the next sentence unless and until the Holders of each and every other Class of Class V-2 Certificates with a higher payment priority have received all distributions to which they are entitled pursuant to the next sentence. On each Distribution Date, subject to the foregoing payment priorities and the remaining amount of the then applicable Class V-2 Percentage of the VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date, the Holders of each Class of Class V-2 Certificates shall be entitled to receive the following distributions in the following order:

(i)       First, distributions of interest on the subject Class of Class V-2 Certificates, up to an amount equal to the then applicable Class V-2 Percentage of the VRR Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date (such VRR Interest Distribution Amount to be determined for purposes of this clause (i), however, based solely on those distributions referenced in clause (B) of the definition thereof that are in respect of the Related Regular Certificates and without regard to any other distributions referenced in clause (B) of such definition that are in respect of any other Regular Certificates);

(ii)       Second, distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balance of the subject Class of Class V-2 Certificates, up to an amount equal to the then applicable Class V-2 Percentage of the VRR Principal Distribution Amount, until the outstanding Certificate Balance of the subject Class of Class V-2 Certificates has been reduced to zero (such VRR Principal Distribution Amount to be determined for purposes of this clause (ii), however, based solely on those distributions referenced in clause (B) of the definition thereof that are in respect of the Related Regular Certificates and without regard to any other distributions referenced in clause (B) of such definition that are in respect of any other Regular Certificates); and

(iii)      Third, reimbursements (with interest) of prior write-offs of the Certificate Balance of the subject Class of Class V-2 Certificates, up to an amount equal to the unreimbursed VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject Class of Class V-2 Certificates, plus interest in an amount equal to the VRR Realized Loss Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date (such VRR Realized Loss Interest Distribution Amount to be determined for purposes of this clause (iii), however, based solely on those distributions referenced in clause (B) of the definition thereof that are in respect of the Related Regular Certificates and without regard to any other distributions referenced in clause (B) of such definition that are in respect of any other Regular Certificates).

On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall apply the then applicable Class V-3 Percentage of the VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date to make the distributions provided for in the next sentence, first, to the Holders of the Class V-3AB Certificates, second, to the Holders of the Class V-3C Certificates, third, to the Holders of the Class V-3D Certificates, and last, to the Holders of the Class V-3E Certificates; provided that, with respect to any Distribution Date, to the extent that the then applicable Class V-3 Percentage of the VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date exceeds the distributions to the Holders of all Classes of the Class V-3 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the following sentence, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute such excess to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Upper-Tier Residual Interest; and provided, further, that no distributions shall be

-310-

made with respect to any Class of Class V-3 Certificates on any Distribution Date pursuant to the next sentence unless and until the Holders of each and every other Class of Class V-3 Certificates with a higher payment priority have received all distributions to which they are entitled pursuant to the next sentence. On each Distribution Date, subject to the foregoing payment priorities and the remaining amount of the then applicable Class V-3 Percentage of the VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date, the Holders of each Class of Class V-3 Certificates shall be entitled to receive the following distributions in the following order:

(i)       First, distributions of interest on the subject Class of Class V-3 Certificates, up to an amount equal to the then applicable Class V-3 Percentage of the VRR Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date (such VRR Interest Distribution Amount to be determined for purposes of this clause (i), however, based solely on those distributions referenced in clause (B) of the definition thereof that are in respect of the Related Regular Certificates and without regard to any other distributions referenced in clause (B) of such definition that are in respect of any other Regular Certificates);

(ii)       Second, distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balance of the subject Class of Class V-3 Certificates, up to an amount equal to the then applicable Class V-3 Percentage of the VRR Principal Distribution Amount, until the outstanding Certificate Balance of the subject Class of Class V-3 Certificates has been reduced to zero (such VRR Principal Distribution Amount to be determined for purposes of this clause (ii), however, based solely on those distributions referenced in clause (B) of the definition thereof that are in respect of the Related Regular Certificates and without regard to any other distributions referenced in clause (B) of such definition that are in respect of any other Regular Certificates); and

(iii)      Third, reimbursements (with interest) of prior write-offs of the Certificate Balance of the subject Class of Class V-3 Certificates, up to an amount equal to the unreimbursed VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject Class of Class V-3 Certificates, plus interest in an amount equal to the VRR Realized Loss Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date (such VRR Realized Loss Interest Distribution Amount to be determined for purposes of this clause (iii), however, based solely on those distributions referenced in clause (B) of the definition thereof that are in respect of the Related Regular Certificates and without regard to any other distributions referenced in clause (B) of such definition that are in respect of any other Regular Certificates).

For avoidance of doubt, because the distributions with respect to the three Exchange Groups on any Distribution Date pursuant to the preceding three paragraphs are based on proportionate shares of the Aggregate Available Funds and corresponding distributions actually made on the Regular Certificates, and because each Holder of Class V-2 Certificates must at all times hold the same Percentage Interest in each and every outstanding Class thereof, a Holder of Class V-2 Certificates shall receive the same aggregate distributions on each Distribution Date (with such aggregate distributions to be allocable as between distributions of interest, distributions in reduction of Certificate Balance and reimbursements (with interest) of prior write-offs of Certificate Balance in the same proportions) as would be the case if such Holder instead held the corresponding portion of the VRR Interest that is exchangeable for such Class V-2 Certificates

-311-

pursuant to Section 5.13. Also, for avoidance of doubt, because the distributions with respect to the three Exchange Groups on any Distribution Date pursuant to the preceding three paragraphs are based on proportionate shares of the Aggregate Available Funds and corresponding distributions actually made on the Regular Certificates, and because each Holder of Class V-3 Certificates must at all times hold the same Percentage Interest in each and every outstanding Class thereof, a Holder of Class V-3 Certificates shall receive the same aggregate distributions on each Distribution Date (with such aggregate distributions to be allocable as between distributions of interest, distributions in reduction of Certificate Balance and reimbursements (with interest) of prior write-offs of Certificate Balance in the same proportions) as would be the case if such Holder instead held the corresponding portion of the VRR Interest that is exchangeable for such Class V-3 Certificates pursuant to Section 5.13

(d)       On each Distribution Date, until the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C and Class X-D Certificates and the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates have been reduced to zero, amounts on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account that represent the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of each Yield Maintenance Charge (such portion of any Yield Maintenance Charge, a “Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charge”) collected on the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period (or, in the case of any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan(s), that accompanied a Principal Prepayment included in the Aggregate Available Funds for such Distribution Date) shall be distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of the respective Classes of Regular Certificates (excluding the Class E, Class F and Class G Certificates) as follows: (A) first such Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charge shall be allocated between (i) the group (the “YM Group A”) of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A and Class A-S Certificates, (ii) the group (the “YM Group B”) of the Class X-B and Class B Certificates, (iii) the group (the “YM Group C”) of the Class X-C and Class C Certificates and (iv) the group (the “YM Group D” and collectively with the YM Group A, the YM Group B and the YM Group C, the “YM Groups”) of the Class X-D and Class D Certificates, pro rata based on the aggregate amount of principal distributed with respect to the Classes of Regular Principal Balance Certificates in each YM Group on such Distribution Date, and (B) then the portion of such Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to each YM Group shall be further allocated as among the Classes of Regular Certificates in such YM Group, in the following manner: (1) each Class of Regular Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group shall entitle the applicable Certificateholders to receive on the applicable Distribution Date that portion of such Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charge equal to the product of (x) solely in the case of YM Group A, a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount distributed as principal to such Class of Regular Principal Balance Certificates on such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Regular Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group on such Distribution Date, (y) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment and such Class of Regular Principal Balance Certificates and (z) the portion of such Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to such YM Group; and (2) the portion of such Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to such YM Group on any Distribution Date and remaining after such distributions contemplated by the preceding clause (1) shall be distributed to the Class of Class X Certificates in such YM Group. If there is more than one Class of Regular Principal Balance Certificates in any YM Group entitled to distributions of principal on any particular Distribution Date on which Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charges

-312-

are distributable to such Classes, then the aggregate amount of such Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charges shall be allocated among all such Classes of Regular Principal Balance Certificates up to, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with, their respective entitlements in those Yield Maintenance Charges in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.01(d), on each Distribution Date after the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount, the Class X-C Notional Amount and the Class X-D Notional Amount and the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates have been reduced to zero, all amounts on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account that represent Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charges collected on the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period (or, in the case of any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan(s), that accompanied a Principal Prepayment included in the Aggregate Available Funds for such Distribution Date) shall be distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of the Class E, Class F and Class G Certificates (collectively, the “Subordinate YM Certificates”) as follows: each such Class of Subordinate YM Certificates shall entitle the applicable Certificateholders to receive on the applicable Distribution Date that portion of such Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charge equal to the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount distributed as principal to such Class of Subordinate YM Certificates on such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Subordinate YM Certificates on such Distribution Date, and (y) the total amount of Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charges to be distributed on such Distribution Date. If there is more than one Class of Subordinate YM Certificates entitled to distributions of principal on any particular Distribution Date on which the Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charges are distributable to such Class(es), then the aggregate amount of such Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charges shall be allocated among all such Classes of Subordinate YM Certificates up to, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with, their respective entitlements in those Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charges in accordance with the preceding sentence of this paragraph.

On each Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account that represent the Vertically Retained Percentage of each Yield Maintenance Charge (such portion of any Yield Maintenance Charge, a “Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charge”) collected on the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period (or, in the case of any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan(s), that accompanied a Principal Prepayment included in the Aggregate Available Funds for such Distribution Date) shall be distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of the VRR Interest, the respective Classes of the Class V-2 Certificates and the respective Classes of Class V-3 Certificates, on a pro rata and pari passu basis, as follows:

(i)        to the Holders of the VRR Interest, in an amount equal to the product of (A) the then applicable VRR Interest Percentage, multiplied by (B) the amount of such Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charge;

(ii)       to the Holders of each Class of Class V-2 Certificates, in an amount equal to the product of (A) the then applicable Class V-2 Percentage, multiplied by (B) the VRR Allocation Percentage, multiplied by (C) the total distributions of the corresponding Non-

-313-

Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charge made on the Related Regular Certificates on such Distribution Date; and

(iii)       to the Holders of each Class of Class V-3 Certificates, in an amount equal to the product of (A) the then applicable Class V-3 Percentage, multiplied by (B) the VRR Allocation Percentage, multiplied by (C) the total distributions of the corresponding Non-Vertically Retained Yield Maintenance Charge made on the Related Regular Certificates on such Distribution Date.

On each Distribution Date, any portion of a Yield Maintenance Charge that is to be distributed to the Holders of the VRR Interest, the Class V-2 Certificates and/or the Class V-3 Certificates shall, for federal income tax purposes, be deemed to have first been transferred to the Grantor Trust in respect of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest.

Any portion of a Yield Maintenance Charge that is to be distributed to Holders of the Regular Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be deemed to have first been distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests (exclusive of the Class LVRR Lower-Tier Regular Interest) then receiving a principal distribution, pro rata, based on the respective amounts of those principal distributions. Any portion of a Yield Maintenance Charge that is to be deemed distributed to the Grantor Trust in respect of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to have first been distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class LVRR Lower-Tier Regular Interest.

(e)       On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Certificate Administrator shall determine if the Available Funds for such Distribution Date (determined without regard to the inclusion of any Excess Liquidation Proceeds therein) would be sufficient to pay all interest and principal due and owing to, and to reimburse (with interest thereon) all previously allocated Realized Losses reimbursable to, the Holders of the Regular Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(b). If the Certificate Administrator determines that such Available Funds (as so determined) would not be sufficient to make such payments and reimbursements, then the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date an amount (to be included in the Aggregate Available Funds for the related Distribution Date) equal to the lesser of (i) all amounts then on deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and (ii) the sum of (A) the amount of the applicable insufficiency and (B) the VRR Allocation Percentage of the amount described in the immediately preceding clause (A). The Certificate Administrator may also withdraw funds from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account in order to make distributions to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.05(c) of this Agreement.

(f)       The Certificate Balance of each Class of Regular Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution on any Distribution Date, as a write-off, to the extent of any Realized Loss allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, any Realized Loss for such Distribution Date will be allocated to the following Classes of Regular Principal Balance Certificates in the following order, until the Certificate Balance of each such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero: first, to the Class G

-314-

Certificates; second, to the Class F Certificates; third, to the Class E Certificates; fourth, to the Class D Certificates; fifth, to the Class C Certificates; sixth, to the Class B Certificates; seventh, to the Class A-S Certificates; and, finally, pro rata to the (i) Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) Class A-4 Certificates and (v) Class A-AB Certificates based on their respective Certificate Balances.

On each Distribution Date, any VRR Realized Loss for such Distribution Date shall be allocated to the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest; and, in connection therewith, the Certificate Balance of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off, to the extent of such VRR Realized Loss. If any VRR Realized Loss is so allocated to the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest on any Distribution Date, then such VRR Realized Loss shall, in turn, be allocated to the three Exchange Groups, in proportion to, and in reduction of, the respective Certificate Balances thereof. Any VRR Realized Losses so allocated to the Class V-2 Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Classes thereof in the following order, until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero: first, to the Class V-2E Certificates; second, to the Class V-2D Certificates; third, to the Class V-2C Certificates; fourth, to the Class V-2B Certificates; and last, to the Class V-2A Certificates. Any VRR Realized Losses so allocated to the Class V-3 Certificates shall be allocated to the respective Classes thereof in the following order, until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero: first, to the Class V-3E Certificates; second, to the Class V-3D Certificates; third, to the Class V-3C Certificates; and last, to the Class V-3AB Certificates

On each Distribution Date, following the deemed distributions of principal or in reimbursement (with interest) of previously allocated Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, deemed made in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ii), the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest (after taking account of such deemed distributions) shall be deemed reduced as a result of Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, to equal the Certificate Balance of its Corresponding Certificates (or, in the case of the Class LVRR Lower-Tier Regular Interest, the Certificate Balance of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest) that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date.

The Notional Amount of the Class X-A Certificates and the Component Notional Amounts of the Class X-A Components will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB and Class A-S Certificates and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Class LA-1, Class LA-2, Class LA-3, Class LA-4, Class LA-AB and Class LA-S Lower-Tier Regular Interests, in any event resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-B Certificates and the Component Notional Amount of the Class X-B Component will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Balance of the Class B Certificates and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of the Class LB Lower-Tier Regular Interest, in any event resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-C Certificates and the Component Notional Amount of the Class X-C Component will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Balance of the Class C Certificates and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of the Lower-Tier Regular Interest designated as the Class LC Lower-Tier Regular Interest, in any event resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-D Certificates and the Component Notional Amount of the Class X-D Component will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate

-315-

Balance of the Class D Certificates and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of the Class LD Lower-Tier Regular Interest, in any event resulting from allocations of Realized Losses.

(g)       Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to the respective Classes of the Principal Balance Certificates and distributions in reimbursement of VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c), as applicable. If and to the extent that any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (including REO Mortgage Loans) and previously resulted in a reduction of the Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then (on the Distribution Date related to the Collection Period during which the recovery occurred): (i) the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance(s) of the Class or Classes of Regular Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in the same sequential order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement, in each case up to the lesser of (A) the unallocated portion of the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of the amount of such recovery and (B) the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject Class of Certificates, and the Interest Shortfall with respect to each affected Class of Regular Certificates for the next Distribution Date will be increased by the aggregate amount of interest that would have accrued through the then current Distribution Date if the restored write-down for the reimbursed Class of Regular Principal Balance Certificates had never been written down; and (ii) the Vertically Retained Percentage of the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest up to the lesser of (A) the Vertically Retained Percentage of the amount of such recovery and (B) the amount of the unreimbursed VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest, and the interest payable on the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest will be deemed increased by the VRR Allocation Percentage of any contemporaneous increases in interest payable on the Regular Certificates pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence. To the extent that the Certificate Balance of, and/or any interest payable on, any Class of Regular Certificates or the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest is so increased, an identical increase shall be deemed made to the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of, and any interest payable on, the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest. If the Certificate Balance of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest is increased as contemplated above in this paragraph, then: (i) the Certificate Balance of the VRR Interest shall be increased by the VRR Interest Percentage of such increase in the Certificate Balance of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (ii) the Certificate Balances of the respective Classes of the Class V-2 Certificates shall be increased, in the aggregate, by the Class V-2 Percentage of such increase in the Certificate Balance of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest, with such aggregate increase to be allocated to the individual Certificate Balances of the respective Classes of the Class V-2 Certificates, in the same sequential order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(c) of this Agreement, in each case up to the amount of unreimbursed VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject Class of Class V-2 Certificates; and (iii) the Certificate Balances of the respective Classes of the Class V-3 Certificates shall be increased, in the aggregate, by the Class V-3 Percentage of such increase in the Certificate Balance of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest, with such aggregate increase to be allocated to the individual Certificate Balances of the respective Classes of the Class V-3 Certificates, in the same sequential order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(c) of this Agreement, in each case up to the amount of

-316-

unreimbursed VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject Class of Class V-3 Certificates. If the Certificate Balance of any Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest (or the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of any Lower-Tier Regular Interest) is so increased, the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, of such Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest (or such Lower-Tier Regular Interest), as the case may be, shall be decreased by such amount, and any interest accrued on the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, so decreased shall be deemed not to exist.

(h)       All amounts distributable, or reductions allocable on account of Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, to a Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01 on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made by the Certificate Administrator on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record at the close of business on the related Record Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for making all distributions on the Certificates contemplated hereunder.

(i)       Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 with respect to an Anticipated Termination Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the fifteenth day of the month preceding the month in which the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made (or, if the Certificate Administrator has not received notice of such Anticipated Termination Date by such time, promptly following the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such notice), mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates, on such date a notice to the effect that:

(i)       the Certificate Administrator reasonably expects based upon information previously provided to it that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Administrator therein specified, and

(ii)       if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Class of Certificates, or on the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest, from and after such Distribution Date;

provided, however, that the Class R Certificates shall remain outstanding until there is no other Class of Certificates outstanding.

-317-

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(i) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(i). Any funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner.

(j)       The Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of the Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for each Distribution Date will be allocated among the various Classes of Regular Certificates, pro rata, based upon the respective Interest Accrual Amounts with respect to such Classes of Regular Certificates for such Distribution Date, and the Vertically Retained Percentage of the Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for each Distribution Date will be deemed allocated to the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest. The portion of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date so allocable to a Class of Class X Certificates shall, in turn, be allocated among the various Components of such Class of Class X Certificates, pro rata, based upon the respective amounts of Accrued Component Interest with respect to such Components for such Distribution Date. The portion of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date so allocated to any Class of Regular Principal Balance Certificates, the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest or any Component of a Class of Class X Certificates shall be deemed to have first been allocated to the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest for such Class of Regular Principal Balance Certificates, the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest or such Component, as applicable.

(k)       On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Excess Interest Distribution Account any amounts on deposit therein that represent Excess Interest received during the related Collection Period (or, in the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan that is an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, received as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Master Servicer Remittance Date and not previously distributed) with respect to the ARD Mortgage Loans and shall distribute such Excess

-318-

Interest: (i) to the Holders of the Class S Certificates in an amount equal to the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of such Excess Interest; (ii) to the Holders of the VRR Interest in an amount equal to the product of (A) the Vertically Retained Percentage, multiplied by (B) the then applicable VRR Interest Percentage, multiplied by (C) the amount of such Excess Interest; (iii) to the Holders of the Class V-2 Certificates in an aggregate amount equal to the product of (A) the Vertically Retained Percentage, multiplied by (B) the then applicable Class V-2 Percentage, multiplied by (C) the amount of such Excess Interest (with such aggregate distribution to be distributed among the Holders of the respective Classes of the Class V-2 Certificates in proportion to the respective Certificate Balances of such Classes); an (iv) to the Holders of the Class V-3 Certificates in an aggregate amount equal to the product of (A) the Vertically Retained Percentage, multiplied by (B) the then applicable Class V-3 Percentage, multiplied by (C) the amount of such Excess Interest (with such aggregate distribution to be distributed among the Holders of the respective Classes of the Class V-3 Certificates in proportion to the respective Certificate Balances of such Classes).

(l)       The various amounts distributable on any Class of Certificates on any Distribution Date pursuant to multiple subsections of, or multiple clauses of any subsection of, this Section 4.01 shall be so distributed in a single, aggregate distribution to the Holders of such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Excluded Information shall be made available under one separate tab or heading designated “Excluded Information” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (and not any of the headings described in items (i) through (viii) above) and made available to Privileged Persons other than any Excluded Controlling Class Holder (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Controlling Class Representative or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving, requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan with respect to which the Controlling Class Representative or such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available to such Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder via the Certificate Administrator’s Website, such Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan shall be entitled to obtain (upon reasonable request) such information in accordance with Section 4.02(e) of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if the Special Servicer is a Borrower Party with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall nevertheless have access to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; provided, that the Special Servicer hereby agrees not to access, and is not permitted to access, Excluded Special Servicer Information with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan (but shall be permitted to access any information with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than any related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan) made available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

In the case of the Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, upon delivery of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1B hereto certifying to the effect that it is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be entitled to access all information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator and Trustee may each rely on (i) an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit M-1B hereto from the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan or (ii) an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit M-1C hereto from the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to one or more Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan(s). In the event the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, as the case may be, becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such party shall promptly notify each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1F to the effect that such party is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to the Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan(s) listed in such notice and shall also provide the Certificate Administrator a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1G listing the CitiDirect Login User ID associated with such Excluded Controlling Class Holder and directing the Certificate Administrator to restrict such Excluded Controlling Class Holder’s access to the Certificate Administrator’s Website as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. Upon confirmation from the Certificate Administrator that such access has been restricted, such Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall submit a new investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1C (which certification shall include, among other things, an acknowledgement and agreement by such Excluded Controlling Class Holder that it is prohibited from accessing and reviewing (and it agrees not to access and review) any Excluded Information with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loans for which it is a Borrower Party) to access the information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, except that such Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall not be entitled to access any Excluded Information related to any Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan(s) (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan(s) for which such Person is a Borrower Party) made available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Any Excluded Information relating to an Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor identifies and delivers to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator via email to loandata@citi.com in one or more separate files labeled “Excluded Information” followed by the applicable loan name and loan number, and the Certificate Administrator shall segregate on the Certificate Administrator’s Website such Excluded Information on a separate excluded loan tab on the Certificate Administrator’s website (and, if possible at a later time, on a loan-by-loan basis). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively assume that the Controlling Class Representative and all Controlling Class Certificateholders are not Excluded

-327-

Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received notice from the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any communication to the Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder or disclosure of Excluded Information if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, did not receive prior written notice that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan (including, in the case of an Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and/or any failure to label any such information provided to the Certificate Administrator).

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any certification delivered by the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1B to the effect that such Person is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. To the extent the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any Excluded Information with respect to a related Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such Excluded Information, such Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any information related to the Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan to (A) any related Borrower Party, (B) any Excluded Controlling Class Holder, (C) any employees or personnel of such Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder, (D) any Affiliate involved in the management of any investment in any related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (E) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in any related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above.

To the extent the Risk Retention Consultation Party or a Holder of any Vertically Retained Certificate receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any information relating to an Excluded RRCP Mortgage Loan (or a Mortgage Loan with respect to which such Holder is a Borrower Party) and/or the related Mortgaged Property (which shall include any Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Reports, Final Asset Status Reports (or summaries thereof), inspection reports related to Specially Serviced Loans conducted by the Special Servicer or any Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer and which may include any Operating Advisor reports delivered to the Certificate Administrator regarding the Special Servicer’s net present value determination, Collateral Deficiency Amount determination or any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations, and any Officer’s Certificates delivered by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, supporting any determination that any Advance was (or, if made, would be) a Nonrecoverable Advance, but in each case other than information with respect to such Mortgage Loan that is aggregated with information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level), whether on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or such Holder of a Vertically Retained Certificate, as applicable, shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not provide any such information to (A) the related Borrower Party, (B) any employees or

-328-

personnel of the Risk Retention Consultation Party or such Holder of a Vertically Retained Certificate or any of its Affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (C) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in order to comply with the limitations described in clause (i) above. For the avoidance of doubt, any file or report contained in the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package (CREFC^® IRP) (other than the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File relating to any such Excluded Mortgage Loan) shall be considered information that is aggregated with information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Risk Retention Consultation Party will be permitted to share with any Holder of a Vertically Retained Certificate any Major Decision Reporting Package that the Risk Retention Consultation Party has received in connection with the exercise of its consultation rights pursuant to Section 6.09(a).

The Certificate Administrator makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of information provided pursuant to this Section and assumes no responsibility therefor.

The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any disclosure of Excluded Information relating to an Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan to the extent such information was included in the Asset Status Report or the Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and not properly identified as relating to an Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan.

The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for access by an Excluded Controlling Class Holder to the Certificate Administrator’s website of any information with respect to which such Excluded Controlling Class Holder is prohibited from accessing pursuant to this Agreement if such Excluded Controlling Class Holder provided an Investor Certification but did not indicate it was a Borrower Party.

The Certificate Administrator shall provide assistance in using the Certificate Administrator’s Website through the Certificate Administrator’s customer service desk at telephone number 1-888-855-9695.

The Certificate Administrator shall make available, only to Privileged Persons, the Investor Q&A Forum. The “Investor Q&A Forum” shall be a service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where Certificateholders and Certificate Owners that are Privileged Persons may submit questions to (a) the Certificate Administrator relating to the Distribution Date Statements, (b) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, relating to the servicing reports prepared by that party and being made available pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), the Mortgage Loans (excluding the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the related Mortgaged Properties or (c) the Operating Advisor relating to the Operating Advisor Annual Reports or other reports prepared by the Operating Advisor or actions by the Special Servicer referenced in such reports (collectively, “Inquiries”), and (ii) Privileged Persons may view Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the answers thereto. Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the appropriate Person and, in the case of an inquiry relating to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the applicable party under the related Outside Servicing Agreement, in each case within a commercially reasonable period following receipt thereof.

Within a commercially reasonable time following receipt of an Inquiry, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, unless it determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be by e-mail to the Certificate Administrator.

The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may

-330-

be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, this Agreement (including requirements in respect of non-disclosure of Privileged Information) or the applicable Loan Documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception) or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, then it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination. In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Holder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in its capacity as Risk Retention Consultation Party) as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Certificate Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature.

Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum shall be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any of the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates. None of the Underwriters, Initial Purchasers, Depositor, any of their respective affiliates or any other person will certify as to the accuracy of any of the information posted in the Investor Q&A Forum and no such person will have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information.

If any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner notifies the Certificate Administrator that it wishes to be removed from the Investor Registry (which notice may not be within 45 days of its registration), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly remove it from the Investor Registry. The Certificate Administrator will not be responsible for verifying or validating any information submitted on the Investor Registry, or for monitoring or otherwise maintaining the accuracy of any information thereon. The Certificate Administrator may require acceptance of a waiver and disclaimer for access to the Investor Registry.

The Special Servicer shall also deliver to the Certificate Administrator, upon the reasonable written request of the Certificate Administrator, any and all additional information in the possession of the Special Servicer relating to the Specially Serviced Loans and the REO Properties (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan).

The Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Master Servicer and provide the Master Servicer with the information in the possession of the Special Servicer reasonably requested by the Master Servicer, in writing, to the extent required to allow the Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan).

The Master Servicer may make available to Privileged Persons copies of any reports or files prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. The Master Servicer may make information concerning the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Loan Combination available on any website that it has established.

With respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver information comparable to the above-described information to the extent received from the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer, as applicable, to the same Persons

-337-

as described above in this Section 4.02(c) and according to the same time frames as described above in this Section 4.02(c), with reasonable promptness following such Master Servicer’s receipt of such information from the related Outside Servicer under the related Outside Servicing Agreement.

Upon the reasonable request of (i) any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that has delivered an appropriate Investor Certification or (ii) any other Privileged Person so identified by a Certificate Owner or an Underwriter, the Master Servicer shall provide (or forward electronically) at the expense of such Privileged Person, Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, as applicable, copies of any appraisals, operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements obtained by the Master Servicer; provided that in no event shall an Excluded Controlling Class Holder be entitled to Excluded Information with respect to an Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan with respect to which it is a Borrower Party; and provided, further, that no Certificateholders or Certificate Owners shall be given access to or be provided copies of, any Mortgage Files or Diligence Files. In connection with such request, the Master Servicer may require (1) a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, generally to the effect that (a) such Person will keep such information confidential and will use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may have under this Agreement and (b) if the requesting party is neither a Certificateholder nor a Certificate Owner, such Person is Privileged Person, and (2) payment of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing copies of such reports or information (which amounts in any event are not reimbursable as Additional Trust Fund Expenses), except that, other than for extraordinary or duplicate requests, the Directing Holder (but, in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, only if a Consultation Termination Event does not exist) will be entitled to reports and information free of charge. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer shall not make any Asset Status Reports or Final Asset Status Reports available to any Certificateholders or Certificate Owners on its website. None of the parties to this Agreement shall provide any Asset Status Report or any Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator (provided that the Special Servicer shall provide a summary of each Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.21(b)).

(d)       The Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and pay the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee to CREFC^® in accordance with Section 3.06(a)(vi) on a monthly basis, from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

(e)       Upon the reasonable request of the Controlling Class Representative or any Controlling Class Certificateholder that, in either case, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan identified to the Master Servicer’s (in the case of a Performing Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer’s (in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) reasonable satisfaction (at the expense of the Controlling Class Representative or such Controlling Class Certificateholder) and if such information is in the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s possession, as applicable, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, shall provide or make available (or forward electronically) to the Controlling Class Representative or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, (at the expense of the Controlling Class Representative or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable) any Excluded Information (available to Privileged Persons through the Certificate Administrator’s Website but

-338-

not accessible to the Controlling Class Representative or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, through the Certificate Administrator’s Website because the Controlling Class Representative or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to another Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan) relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan with respect to which the Controlling Class Representative or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is not a Borrower Party; provided that, in connection therewith, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, will keep such Excluded Information confidential and is not a Borrower Party, upon which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may conclusively rely. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, of an Investor Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1C that such Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer referenced in this Section 4.02(e) shall include any applicable Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer with respect to the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan(s).

Section 4.03         Compliance With Withholding Requirements.

(a)       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Paying Agent reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for any such withholding. In the event the Paying Agent or its agent withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Paying Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder. Any amount so withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to such Certificateholder for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b)       Each Certificate Owner and Certificateholder, by the purchase of a Certificate or its acceptance of a beneficial interest therein, acknowledges that interest on the Certificates will be treated as United States source interest, and, as such, United States withholding tax may apply. Each such Certificate Owner and Certificateholder further agrees, upon request, to provide any certifications that may be required under applicable law, regulations or procedures to evidence its status for United States withholding tax purposes and understands that if it ceases to satisfy the foregoing requirements or provide requested documentation, payments to it under the Certificates may be subject to United States withholding tax (without any corresponding gross-up). Without limiting the foregoing, if a payment made under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient of such payment were to fail to comply with FATCA (including the requirements of Code Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Paying Agent, with a copy to each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, at the time or times prescribed by the Code and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Paying Agent or the Trustee, such documentation prescribed by the Code (including as prescribed by Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional

-339-

documentation reasonably requested by the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For these purposes, “FATCA” means Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or official interpretations thereof (including any revenue ruling, revenue procedure, notice or similar guidance issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service thereunder as a precondition to relief or exemption from taxes under such Sections, regulations and interpretations), any agreements entered into pursuant to Code Section 1471(b)(1), and including any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Section 4.04        REMIC Compliance.

(a)       The parties intend that each Trust REMIC shall constitute, and that the affairs of each Trust REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in, and in accordance with, the REMIC Provisions, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, act as agent, and is hereby appointed to act as agent, of each Trust REMIC and shall on behalf of each Trust REMIC: (i) prepare, timely deliver to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute) and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all required Tax Returns for each Trust REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each Trust REMIC when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal, state or local income tax laws; (ii) make an election, on behalf of each Trust REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on IRS Form 1066 for its first taxable year ending December 31, 2017, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (iii) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Class S Certificates) and the IRS and applicable state and local tax authorities all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions of the Code; (iv) if the filing or distribution of any documents of an administrative nature not addressed in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.04(a) is then required by the REMIC Provisions in order to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or is otherwise required by the Code, prepare, sign and file or distribute, or cause to be prepared and signed and filed or distributed, such documents with or to such Persons when and as required by the REMIC Provisions or the Code or comparable provisions of state and local law; (v) obtain a taxpayer identification number for the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC on IRS Form SS-4, and, within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on IRS Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the Person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of each Trust REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such IRS Form, and shall update such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code (and the Depositor agrees within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing); and (vi) maintain such records relating to each Trust REMIC as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information, such records, for federal income tax purposes, to be maintained on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

-340-

The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and “partnership representative” of each Trust REMIC (within the meaning of Code Section 6223, to the extent such provision is applicable to the Trust REMICs). If more than one Holder should hold an equal Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates larger than that held by any other Holder, the first such Holder to have acquired such Class R Certificates shall be such tax matters person (or partnership representative if applicable). The Certificate Administrator shall act as attorney-in-fact and agent for the tax matters person (or partnership representative if applicable) of each Trust REMIC, and each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, by acceptance thereof, is deemed to have consented to the Certificate Administrator’s appointment in such capacity and agrees to execute any documents required to give effect thereto, and any fees and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding shall be paid by the Trust Fund. The Certificate Administrator shall make any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Section 6221 of the Code (or successor provision) to any Trust REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by any Trust REMIC under Section 6225 of the Code of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any holder of any residual interest of any Trust REMIC, past or present. Each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, by acceptance thereof, is deemed to agree to any such elections and to the Certificate Administrator’s acting as agent for any tax matters person or other representative of each Trust REMIC that can be designated under the Code.

The Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally take any action or intentionally omit to take any action within its control and the scope of its duties if, in taking or omitting to take such action, the Certificate Administrator knows that such action or omission (as the case may be) would cause the termination of the REMIC status of a Trust REMIC or the imposition of tax on a Trust REMIC (other than a tax on income expressly permitted or contemplated to be received by the terms of this Agreement).

Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph or the three preceding paragraphs to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator shall not be required to take any action that the Certificate Administrator in good faith believes to be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed in violation of this paragraph if it takes any action expressly required or authorized by any other provision of this Agreement, and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any act or omission of the Depositor or the Master Servicer which does not enable the Certificate Administrator to comply with any of clauses (i) through (vi) of the third preceding paragraph or which results in any action contemplated by clauses (i) through (iii) of the next succeeding sentence. In this regard the Certificate Administrator shall (i) not allow the occurrence of any “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a), unless the party seeking such action shall have delivered to the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel (at such party’s expense) that such occurrence would not (a) result in a taxable gain, (b) otherwise subject a Trust REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or (c) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes; (ii) not allow a Trust REMIC to receive income from the performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by such Trust REMIC (provided, however, that the receipt of any income expressly permitted or contemplated

-341-

by the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to violate this clause); and (iii) not permit the creation of any “interests,” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, in the Upper-Tier REMIC other than the Regular Certificates, the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest, or in the Lower-Tier REMIC other than the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Lower-Tier Residual Interest. None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor shall be responsible or liable for any failure by the Certificate Administrator to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.04. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Certificate Administrator in supplying any information within the Depositor’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s control (other than any confidential information) that is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties under this Section 4.04.

(b)       The following assumptions are to be used for purposes of determining the anticipated payments of principal and interest for calculating the original yield to maturity and original issue discount with respect to the Regular Certificates and the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest: (i) each Mortgage Loan will pay principal and interest in accordance with its terms and scheduled payments will be timely received on their Due Dates, provided that the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate will prepay in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption; (ii) none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the Class R Certificateholder will exercise the right described in Section 9.01 of this Agreement to cause early termination of the Trust Fund; and (iii) no Mortgage Loan is repurchased or substituted for by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Article II of this Agreement.

Section 4.05        Imposition of Tax on the Trust REMICs. In the event that any tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on a Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable with respect to the Regular Certificates, the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest and the Class R Certificates; provided that any taxes imposed on any net income from foreclosure property pursuant to Code Section 860G(d) or any similar tax imposed by a state or local jurisdiction shall instead be treated as an expense of the related REO Property in determining Net REO Proceeds with respect to the REO Property (and until such taxes are paid, the Special Servicer from time to time shall withdraw from the REO Account and transfer to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Accounts amounts reasonably determined by the Certificate Administrator to be necessary to pay such taxes, and the Certificate Administrator shall return to the Special Servicer the excess determined by the Certificate Administrator from time to time of the amount in excess of the amount necessary to pay such taxes); provided that any such tax imposed on net income from foreclosure property that exceeds the amount in any such reserve shall be retained from Aggregate Available Funds as provided in Section 3.06(a)(vii) of this Agreement and the next sentence. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall retain or cause to be retained from the Distribution Account in determining the amount of Aggregate Available Funds sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by a Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund, any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate or cause to be segregated, into a separate non-interest bearing account, (i) the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Code Section 860F(a) or (ii) the amount of

-342-

any contribution to a Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Code Section 860G(d) and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such tax (and return the balance thereof, if any, to the related Distribution Account). To the extent that any such tax is paid to the IRS, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the related residual interest and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders of Regular Certificates, to the Holders of the Grantor Trust Certificates (exclusive of the Class S Certificates) in respect of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest or to the Certificate Administrator in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests until they are fully reimbursed and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the related residual interest. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on a Trust REMIC except to the extent such tax is attributable to a breach of a representation or warranty of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee or an act or omission of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee in contravention of this Agreement in both cases, provided, further, that such breach, act or omission could result in liability under Section 6.03, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or Section 4.04 or Section 8.01, in the case of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in each such case, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be responsible for the Certificate Administrator’s, the Authenticating Agent’s, the Certificate Registrar’s, the Paying Agent’s or the Trustee’s breaches, acts or omissions, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, and the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, in each case if a different entity than the Certificate Administrator, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent.

Section 4.06        Remittances; P&I Advances.

(a)      On the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall:

(i)       remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loans (but not a Companion Loan) received by the Master Servicer during the Collection Period relating to such Distribution Date (or, in the case of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, received by the Master Servicer as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date and not previously so remitted to the Certificate Administrator);

(ii)       remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account an amount equal to the Aggregate Available Funds applicable to the Mortgage Loans (other than the amounts referred to in clause (iv) below and clause (e) of the definition of “Aggregate Available Funds”);

(iii)      remit to CREFC^® the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee;

-343-

(iv)     make a P&I Advance by remittance to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, in an amount equal to the sum of the Applicable Monthly Payments for each Mortgage Loan (including any REO Mortgage Loan and any Mortgage Loan related to a Loan Combination, but not a Companion Loan) to the extent such amounts were not received by the Master Servicer on such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the Determination Date (without regard to any grace period) in the same month as (or, in the case of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, was not received by the Master Servicer on such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding) such Master Servicer Remittance Date), except that the portion of such P&I Advance equal to the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee for each such Mortgage Loan shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator but shall instead be remitted to CREFC^® and the portion of such P&I Advance equal to the Asset Representations Reviewer Ongoing Fee, the Operating Advisor Fee or the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee shall, to the extent the subject fee remains unpaid to the applicable party hereunder, shall be deposited in the Collection Account for payment to such party;

(v)       remit to the Certificate Administrator, as compensation for it and the Trustee, the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee for the related Distribution Date;

(vi)       remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account an amount equal to the Excess Liquidation Proceeds received during the related Collection Period (or, in the case of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, received by the Master Servicer as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date and not previously so remitted to the Certificate Administrator), if any; and

(vii)       remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account all Excess Interest for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to withdrawals of funds pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) through Section 3.06(a)(ix) of this Agreement.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required or permitted to make an advance for Balloon Payments, Default Interest, Excess Interest or Yield Maintenance Charges, or delinquent Monthly Payments on the Companion Loans. The amount required to be advanced in respect of delinquent payments of interest on any Mortgage Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists will equal the product of (i) the amount otherwise required to be advanced by the Master Servicer with respect to delinquent payments of interest without giving effect to such Appraisal Reduction Amounts, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the last day of the related Collection Period, reduced by such Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the denominator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the last day of the related Collection Period. Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not affect the principal portion of any P&I Advances.

Any amount advanced by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iv) of this Agreement shall constitute a P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Master

-344-

Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement (with interest at the Advance Rate). The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any P&I Advance.

The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee by telephone if as of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Certificate Administrator has not received the amount of a required P&I Advance hereunder. If as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Distribution Date the Master Servicer shall not have made the P&I Advance required to have been made on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iv) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to the P&I Advances otherwise required to have been made by the Master Servicer.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be obligated to make a P&I Advance as to any Monthly Payment on any date on which a P&I Advance is otherwise required to be made by this Section 4.06 if the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or the Special Servicer determines that such Advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make P&I Advances that it has made (or in the case of a determination by the Special Servicer, that the Master Servicer or the Trustee has made) a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by such Person (i) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard or (ii) in the case of the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate as set forth in Section 4.06(b). In connection with a determination by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee as to whether a P&I Advance previously made or to be made constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance:

(A)      any such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is” or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries;

(B)       any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and may obtain at the expense of the Trust Fund any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes;

(C)       the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any outstanding P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance and may deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and

-345-

the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) notice of such determination, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee;

(D)       although the Special Servicer may determine whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Special Servicer will have no right to (i) make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance previously made or to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is, or would be, recoverable or (ii) reverse any determination that may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that a P&I Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that this sentence will not be construed to limit the Special Servicer’s right to make a determination that a P&I Advance to be made (or contemplated to be made) would be, or a previously made Advance is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, as described in this Section 4.06;

(E)       any non-recoverability determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.06 with respect to the recoverability of P&I Advances shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer (in the case of such a determination by the Special Servicer) and the Trustee;

(F)       the Master Servicer shall provide notice to the Trustee on or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date of any such non-recoverability determination made by the Master Servicer on or prior to such date;

(G)       the Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer has failed to make a P&I Advance for reasons other than a determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee shall make such advance within the time periods required by this Section 4.06 unless the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, makes a determination prior to the times specified in this Section 4.06 that such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance;

(H)       the Special Servicer shall report, promptly upon making a determination contemplated in this paragraph, to the Master Servicer the Special Servicer’s determination as to whether any P&I Advance made with respect to any previous Distribution Date or required to be made with respect to a future Distribution Date with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination; and

(I)       notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that any P&I Advance would be recoverable (unless a non-recoverability determination has been

-346-

made by the other servicer in accordance with clause (E) above which is binding on the Trustee), and the Master Servicer may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Special Servicer that any P&I Advance would be recoverable.

The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of P&I Advances it makes (together with interest thereon) to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement and each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such Advances from the related Mortgagors to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan.

Within 2 Business Days of making a P&I Advance on any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide written notice of the amount of such P&I Advance to (i) if such Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee of each Other Securitization Trust that holds a related Serviced Companion Loan or (ii) if such Mortgage Loan is part of an Outside Serviced Loan Combination, the related Outside Servicer, Outside Special Servicer and Outside Trustee of the related Outside Securitization Trust.

With respect to P&I Advances and each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the “appraisal reduction amount” calculated by the related Outside Special Servicer or the related Outside Servicer in accordance with the terms of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement.

(b)       The determination by the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance has become a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made pursuant to this Section 4.06 with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or with respect to any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect to any of the foregoing), would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered on or prior to the next Master Servicer Remittance Date to the Trustee (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the holder of any related Pari Passu Companion Loan or its Companion Loan Holder Representative (in the case of a Pari Passu Loan Combination), the Master Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Special Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination) and, if the Trustee is making the determination, the Depositor, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with any other information that supports such determination together with a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which Appraisal shall be an expense of the Trust, shall take into account any material change in circumstances of which such Person is aware or such Person has received new information, either of which has a material effect on the value and shall have been conducted in accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the twelve months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent available and/or in such Person’s possession) and any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that such Person may have obtained and that support such determination. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall

consider Unliquidated Advances with respect to prior P&I Advances for the purpose of nonrecoverability determinations as if such amounts were unreimbursed P&I Advances.

(c)       With respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has determined that a proposed P&I Advance if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance previously made, with respect to such mortgage loan would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the related Outside Servicer and Outside Special Servicer written notice of such determination (including, without limitation, any such determination made by the Special Servicer, to the extent the Master Servicer or the Trustee has received an Officer’s Certificate with respect to such determination in accordance with Section 4.06(b)) within two (2) Business Days after such determination was made.

In connection with each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, any determination by the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer that any P&I Advance made or to be made with respect to such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance may be made independently from any determinations (or the absence of any determinations) made under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement regarding nonrecoverability of debt service advances on the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan.

(d)      If the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has received written notice from Moody’s, Fitch or KBRA to the effect that continuation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in such capacity would result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by Moody’s, Fitch or KBRA, as applicable, to any Class of Certificates and citing servicing concerns with such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action, and such notice is not rescinded within 60 days, then the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other such parties and the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holder and the applicable master servicer of any Serviced Companion Loan.

Section 4.07        Grantor Trust Reporting.

(a)       The Certificate Administrator shall maintain adequate books and records to account for the separate entitlements of the Grantor Trust.

(b)      The parties intend that the Grantor Trust shall be treated as a “grantor trust” under the Code, and the provisions thereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall vary the assets of the Grantor Trust so as to take advantage of market fluctuations or so as to improve the rate of return of the Grantor Trust Certificates, and shall otherwise comply with Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c). The Certificate Administrator shall timely file or cause to be timely filed with the IRS Form 1041, Form 1099 or such other form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holders of the respective Classes of the Grantor Trust Certificates, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the VRR Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets and proceeds thereof as such amounts are received or accrue, as applicable.

-348-

(c)          (i) The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Certificate Administrator shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. With respect to the Class S Certificates, the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that Hare & Co. is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary or the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identity of any other “middlemen”. The Certificate Administrator will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations in the event that the IRS makes a determination that is contrary to the first sentence of this paragraph.

(ii)         The Certificate Administrator, in its discretion, shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall make available (via the Certificate Administrator’s Website) WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.

(iii)        The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information that is not in its possession being provided to the Certificate Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.

(d)          To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on the Certificate Administrator’s Website the CUSIP Numbers for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIP Number so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIP Numbers. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIP Numbers have been received. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP Number, the Certificate Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP Number. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP Number information.

Section 4.08      Calculations.

-349-

Provided that the Certificate Administrator receives the necessary loan-level information from the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for performing all calculations necessary in connection with the actual and deemed distributions to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, the preparation of the Distribution Date Statements pursuant to Section 4.02(a) and the actual and deemed allocations of Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses to be made pursuant to Section 4.01. The Certificate Administrator shall calculate the Principal Distribution Amount, the VRR Principal Distribution Amount, the Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount, the Interest Distribution Amounts, the VRR Interest Distribution Amount and the VRR Realized Loss Interest Distribution Amount for each Distribution Date and shall allocate such amounts among Certificateholders in accordance with this Agreement. Absent actual knowledge of an error therein, the Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation to recompute, recalculate or otherwise verify any loan-level information provided to it by the Master Servicer. The calculations by the Certificate Administrator contemplated by this Section 4.08 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder.

Section 4.09      Secure Data Room. (a) Within 60 days of the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall create a Secure Data Room, and the Depositor shall, upon the earlier of (i) receipt of all the Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Diligence File Certifications and (ii) the 120th day following the Closing Date (but, in any event, no earlier than the date on which the Depositor has received a written notice from the Certificate Administrator that the Secure Data Room has been created), deliver to the Certificate Administrator (but solely with respect to any Diligence File(s) received by the Depositor as to which it has received the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s Diligence File Certification) an electronic copy of the Diligence Files for the Mortgage Loans that have been uploaded by the Mortgage Loan Sellers to the Designated Site. After the 120th day following the Closing Date, the Depositor may deliver any Mortgage Loan Seller’s Diligence Files to the Certificate Administrator if it has not previously delivered such Mortgage Loan Seller’s Diligence Files to the Certificate Administrator. Upon receipt thereof, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly upload the contents of each Diligence File to the Secure Data Room. Access to the Secure Data Room shall be granted by the Certificate Administrator to (i) the Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) any other Person at the direction of the Depositor, in each case, upon the occurrence of an Affirmative Asset Review Vote and receipt by the Certificate Administrator of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit KK hereto. In no case whatsoever shall Certificateholders be permitted to access the Secure Data Room. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to post any documents to the Secure Data Room other than the contents of the Diligence Files initially delivered to it by the Depositor with respect to each Mortgage Loan Seller.

(b)          The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation or duty to verify, review, confirm or otherwise determine whether the type, number or contents of any Diligence File delivered to the Certificate Administrator is accurate, complete, or relates to the transaction or confirm that all documents and information constituting any Diligence File have actually been delivered to the Certificate Administrator. In no case shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have obtained actual or constructive knowledge of the contents of, or information contained in, any Diligence File by virtue of posting such Diligence File to the Secure Data Room. In the event that any document is posted in error, the Certificate Administrator may remove such document from the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not have

-350-

any obligation to produce physical or electronic copies of any document provided to it for posting to the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or held liable for any other Person’s use or dissemination of the documents contained on the Secure Data Room; provided that such event or occurrence is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to restrict access to the Secure Data Room on a loan-by-loan basis and any Person with access to the Secure Data Room shall covenant to access only the documents necessary to perform its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

(c)          Upon the resignation or removal of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 8.07, the Certificate Administrator shall transfer electronic copies of the Diligence Files to a successor certificate administrator designated in writing by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, and all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the Diligence Files shall be payable as part of the costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its responsibilities upon the resignation or removal of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 8.07. Following the date on which any Mortgage Loan is paid in full, liquidated, repurchased or otherwise removed from the Trust, the Special Servicer may (but shall not be obligated to) direct the Certificate Administrator in writing to delete the Diligence File related to such Mortgage Loan from the Secure Data Room; provided that absent such direction, the Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to delete any Diligence File from the Secure Data Room. Following the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to delete all files from the Secure Data Room. Upon deletion, in no event shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to reproduce or retrieve such deleted files.

-352-

Section 5.02      Form and Registration.

(a)          Each Class of Public Certificates shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

(b)          Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Global Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book-entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.

(c)          No transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then:

(i)           The Certificates of each Class of the Private Certificates (other than the Certificates constituting the RR Interest, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act shall initially be represented by a temporary global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each a “Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Private Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream. Prior to the expiration of the 40-day period commencing on the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related permanent global certificate of the same Class of Private Certificates (a “Regulation S Global Certificate”) in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f) of this Agreement. During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global

-353-

Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or a Regulation S Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Global Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph. Citibank, N.A. is hereby initially appointed the Authenticating Agent with the power to act, on the Trustee’s behalf, in the authentication and delivery of the Certificates in connection with transfers and exchanges as herein provided. If Citibank, N.A. is removed as Certificate Administrator, then Citibank, N.A. shall be terminated as Authenticating Agent. If the Authenticating Agent is terminated, the Certificate Administrator (or, if the same entity is acting as both the Authenticating Agent and the Certificate Administrator and such entity is being removed from both capacities, a successor Certificate Administrator) shall appoint a successor authenticating agent, which may be the Certificate Administrator or an Affiliate thereof, in accordance with Section 5.09 of this Agreement.

(ii)          The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates (other than the Certificates constituting the RR Interest, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each, a “Rule 144A Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Rule 144A Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

(iii)         The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates offered and sold in the United States to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers, the Certificates constituting the RR Interest, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, in each case substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered in the name of such investors or their nominees by the Certificate Registrar who shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners.

-354-

(d)          Owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Global Certificates of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice; (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; or (iii) in the case of a Private Certificate, all of the applicable requirements of Section 5.03 of this Agreement are satisfied; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Private Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Global Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Global Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for reregistration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Global Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Global Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement.

(e)          If any Certificate Owner wishes to transfer its interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, or wishes to transfer its interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) that is an Institutional Accredited Investor but not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, then the transferee shall take delivery in the form of a Non-Book Entry Certificate, subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Non-Book Entry Certificate in Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement. No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer complies with the provisions of Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement applicable to transfers of Non-Book Entry Certificates. Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for a Non-Book Entry Certificate, as provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the denomination of such Global Certificate equal to the denomination of such Non-Book Entry Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.

(f)          During the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period, any Certificate constituting a portion of the RR Interest shall only be held as a Definitive Certificate in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator (and each Retaining Party’s respective interest shall be tracked in the form of an entry in the Certificate Administrator’s trust accounting system under the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account), for the benefit of the Holder of the related Certificate. The Certificate Administrator shall hold each Certificate constituting the RR Interest in safekeeping and shall release the same only upon receipt of a written direction signed by each of the Depositor (except in the case of the HRR Interest), the Retaining Sponsor and the Holder of such Certificate (not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld except based on restrictions under Regulation RR), and in accordance with any

-355-

authentication procedures as may be utilized by the Certificate Administrator and in accordance with this Agreement. There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator an account which will be designated the “Retained Interest Safekeeping Account” and into which each Certificate constituting the RR Interest shall be held and which shall be governed by and subject to this Agreement. In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Certificate Administrator may establish any number of subaccounts to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for each Retaining Party. Each Certificate constituting the RR Interest to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein. Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of any Certificate constituting a portion of the RR Interest in connection with the initial issuance thereof and, for so long as the Certificates constituting the RR Interest are held in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Article V of any Certificate constituting a portion of the RR Interest, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the related Retaining Party a receipt in the form set forth in Exhibit MM. No amounts distributable with respect to any Certificate constituting a portion of the RR Interest shall be remitted to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, but instead shall be remitted directly to the applicable Retaining Party in accordance with written instructions provided separately on the Closing Date (and any updates to such written instructions provided from time to time) by such Retaining Party to the Certificate Administrator. Under no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping any Certificate constituting a portion of the RR Interest shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any Person on behalf of the Retaining Parties. During the RR Transfer Restriction Period and for such longer time as the related Retaining Party may request, the Certificate Administrator shall hold each individual Certificate constituting the RR Interest at the below location, or any other location; provided the Certificate Administrator has given notice to each of the Retaining Parties of such new location:

Citibank, N.A.

Vault Operations Level B

399 Park Avenue

New York, NY 10022

The Certificate Administrator shall make available to each Retaining Party its respective account information as mutually agreed upon by the Certificate Administrator and each respective Retaining Party, and in accordance with the Certificate Administrator’s policies and procedures. Any transfer of a Certificate evidencing the RR Interest shall be subject to this Article V. During the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period, unless the Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor otherwise consent in writing, the Certificate Administrator shall not permit any Person to copy (other than for internal purposes), and shall not itself provide to any Person copies of, the executed Certificates held by it in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account.

(g)          To the extent that the aggregate value and/or Certificate Balance of the RR Interest is in excess of the amount or percentage of risk retention required pursuant to Regulation RR, such excess portion of the RR Interest shall nevertheless be deemed to be subject to the requirements of Regulation RR and any Certificate evidencing such excess portion of the RR Interest shall be subject to all of the provisions in this Agreement applicable to the RR Interest including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article V.

-356-

Section 5.03      Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a)          The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept at its principal offices books (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being the “Certificate Registrar”). In such capacities, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for, among other things, (i) maintaining the Certificate Register and a record of the aggregate holdings of Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates represented by a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate, a Regulation S Global Certificate and a Rule 144A Global Certificate and accepting Certificates for exchange and registration of transfer and (ii) transmitting to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer any notices from the Certificateholders.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.11 of this Agreement, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Certificate Registrar to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be exchanged, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase and the name of such account and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit E to this Agreement given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Certificates and pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be exchanged, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions (who shall be the agent member of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both) a beneficial

-357-

interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate, and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such exchange or transfer the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate that is being exchanged or transferred.

(d)          Rule 144A Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate.

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

(e)          Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to Rule 144A Global Certificate. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate deposited with the Certificate Registrar as custodian for the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer its interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.11 of this Agreement, of (1) instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the

-358-

participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, (2) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate, information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be debited with such decrease and (3) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate (but not the Regulation S Global Certificate) for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate at any time during the Restricted Period, a certificate in the form of Exhibit G to this Agreement given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating that the Person transferring such interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to be exchanged, and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with such reduction, to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions, a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such transfer the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate that is being transferred.

-362-

such Certificate or interest therein unless, in the case of an ERISA Restricted Certificate, its acquisition, holding and disposition of such Certificate or an interest therein would not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law.

Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of these transfer restrictions shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.

(o)          Each Person who has or acquires any Residual Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Residual Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:

In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor. The Certificate Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of the Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to the Authenticating Agent and the Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time the Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.09, the Certificate Administrator promptly shall appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, which shall be acceptable to the Depositor, and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 5.09.

The Authenticating Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Certificate Administrator. Any compensation paid to the Authenticating Agent shall be an unreimbursable expense of the Certificate Administrator. The appointment of an Authenticating Agent shall not relieve the Certificate Administrator from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Certificate Administrator shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of the Authenticating Agent.

Section 5.10      Appointment of Custodian. The Trustee shall be, and shall perform all the duties of, the Custodian hereunder or may appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement (in the event the Trustee is not the Custodian) that is consistent in all material respects with this Agreement. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor of any appointment of a Custodian. The Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement, to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Holders and to cause any Custodian appointed by the Trustee to comply with any provision of this Agreement that purports to require such Custodian to act or refrain from acting. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, shall have a long-term debt rating of at least “BBB” by Fitch and “Baa2” from

Moody’s, and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Each Custodial Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 12.07 of this Agreement. Any compensation paid to the Custodian shall be an unreimbursable expense of the Trustee. The Trustee shall serve as the initial Custodian and shall be deemed appointed as Custodian at all times that no other party is so appointed in accordance with this Section 5.10. The Custodian, if the Custodian is not the Trustee, shall maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that are customary for securitizations similar to the securitization evidenced by this Agreement, with the Trustee named as loss payee. The Custodian shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its respective Affiliates has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Custodian. In addition, the Custodian shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its obligations hereunder in the form and amount that are customary for securitizations similar to the securitization evidenced by this Agreement, with the Trustee named as loss payee. All fidelity bonds and policies of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section 5.10 shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer, or by any other insurer with respect to which the Rating Agencies have provided to the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation. The Custodian shall be subject to the same obligations and standard of care as would be imposed on the Trustee hereunder in connection with the retention of Mortgage Files directly by the Trustee. Upon termination or resignation of any Custodian appointed by it, the Trustee may appoint another Custodian meeting the foregoing requirements. The appointment of a Custodian shall not relieve the Trustee from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Trustee shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of the Custodian. In the event the Trustee is the Custodian, the Custodian may self-insure.

Section 5.11      Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Certificate Registrar shall maintain or cause to be maintained an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served. The Certificate Registrar initially designates its office at 480 Washington Boulevard, 30th Floor, Jersey City, New Jersey 07310, Attention - Citibank Agency & Trust, CGCMT 2017-P7, as its office for such purposes.

Section 5.12      Voting Procedures.

In each case, such vote shall be administered in accordance with the following procedures, unless different procedures are otherwise described herein with respect to a specific vote:

(a)          Any matter submitted to Certificateholders for a vote shall be announced in a notice prepared by the Certificate Administrator. Such notice shall include the record date determined by the Certificate Administrator for purposes of the vote and a voting deadline which, unless otherwise specifically contemplated herein for any particular matter, shall be no less than thirty (30) days and no later than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is distributed. The notice and related ballot shall be sent to Holders of Global Certificates through the Depository and

-369-

by mail to the registered Holders of Definitive Certificates. In addition, the notice and related ballot shall be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notices delivered in this manner shall be considered delivered to all Holders regardless of whether any Holder actually receives the notice and ballot.

(b)          In connection with any vote administered pursuant to this Agreement, voting Holders shall be required to certify their holdings in the manner set forth on the ballot, unless a specific manner is otherwise provided herein. Holders may only vote in accordance with their Voting Rights. Voting Rights with respect to any outstanding Class of Certificates shall be calculated by the Certificate Administrator in accordance with the definition of Voting Rights as of the record date for the vote. Only Classes with an outstanding Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, greater than zero as of the record date of the vote shall be permitted to vote. Once a Holder has cast its vote, the vote may be changed or retracted on or before the vote deadline. Any changes or retractions shall be communicated by the Certificateholder to the Certificate Administrator in writing on a ballot. After the vote deadline has passed, votes may not be changed or retracted by any Holder unless the Holder wishing to change or retract its vote holds a sufficient portion of the Voting Rights such that the Holder, by its vote alone, could approve or deny the proposition subject to a vote without taking into consideration the votes cast by any other Holder. Transferees or purchasers of any Class of Certificates are subject to and shall be bound by all votes of Holders initiated or conducted prior to its acquisition of such Certificate.

(c)          The Certificate Administrator may take up to fifteen (15) Business Days to tabulate the results of any vote. The Certificate Administrator shall use its reasonable efforts to resolve any illegible or incomplete ballots received prior to the voting deadline. Illegible or incomplete ballots that are received on the voting deadline or that cannot be resolved by the voting deadline shall not be counted. Promptly after the votes are tabulated, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare a notice announcing the results of the vote. Such notice shall include the percentage of Voting Rights in favor of the proposition, the percentage against the proposition and the percentage abstaining. In addition, the notice will announce whether the proposition has been adopted by Certificateholders. The notice shall be distributed in accordance with the methods described in Section 5.12(a) above. The Certificate Administrator shall also include such notice on the Form 10-D prepared in connection with the distribution period that corresponds with the date such notice is distributed. All vote tabulations shall be final and the Certificate Administrator shall not, absent manifest error, re-tabulate the votes or conduct a new vote for the same proposition.

(d)          Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering any vote shall be borne by the Trust. The Certificate Administrator is under no obligation to advise Holders about the matter being voted on or answer questions other than process-related questions regarding the administration of the vote.

(e)          If any party to this Agreement believes a vote of Certificateholders is needed for some matter related to the administration of the Trust that is not specifically contemplated herein, such party may request the Certificate Administrator to conduct a vote and the Certificate Administrator will conduct the requested vote in accordance with these procedures.

-370-

Unless specifically provided herein, all such votes require a majority of Certificateholders to carry a proposition.

-372-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period, the Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor jointly may (to the extent that they believe it to be necessary or reasonably appropriate to ensure compliance with Regulation RR, including, without limitation, based upon such future clarification and interpretation as may in the future be provided by the staff of any Regulatory Agency), and each Holder of the VRR Interest, any Class V-2 Certificate or any Class V-3 Certificate, by acceptance of its Certificates, is deemed to have agreed that the Sponsor and the Depositor jointly may: (i) suspend or terminate the exchangeability feature of the Exchangeable Certificates by written instrument, signed by both the Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor and sent to the Certificate Administrator, with copies thereof to be sent by the Certificate Administrator to the other Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates, in which case no exchange may be effected in accordance with this Section 5.13 during the period of the suspension or following the effective date of the termination; and (ii) mandate that all Holders of the Class V-2 and Class V-3 Certificates surrender their Certificates in exchange for Certificates constituting a portion of the VRR Interest, by a written instrument, signed by both the Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor and sent to the Certificate Administrator, with copies thereof to be sent by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders (or, if applicable, the other Holders) of the Class V-2 and Class V-3 Certificates, in which case, with respect to any Holder’s Class V-2 and/or Class V-3 Certificates that are held in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, the Certificate Administrator shall (within 10 Business Days of its receipt of the written instrument described above in the clause (ii)) cancel such Class V-2 and/or Class V-3 Certificates and execute and authenticate in the name of, and deposit in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for the benefit of, such Holder Certificates constituting a portion of the VRR Interest with the same aggregate principal balance as the cancelled Certificates, and with respect to any Holder’s Class V-2 and/or Class V-3 Certificates that have been released from the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, such Holder shall (within 10 Business Days of its receipt of a copy of the written instrument described above in this clause (ii)) surrender such Class V-2 and/or Class V-3 Certificates in exchange for Certificates constituting a portion of the VRR Interest and having the same aggregate principal balance as the surrendered Certificates in accordance with this Section 5.13 (provided that if any Holder fails to so surrender its Class V-2 and/or Class V-3 Certificates within such 10 Business Day period, then the Certificate Administrator shall suspend all future distributions thereon until the exchange occurs, such unmade distributions to be held by the Certificate Administrator without interest in the same manner as the distribution on any Certificate that is not surrendered on the final Distribution Date and to be released only in connection with the required exchange).

(e)          For all exchanges other than any exchange effectuated by the Depositor on the Closing Date, the Closing Date exchanges described in Section 5.13(b) or any exchange of Class V-2 and/or Class V-3 Certificates held in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account as mandated by the Depositor and the Retaining Sponsor (in any event pursuant to Section 5.13(d)) in order to effect an exchange of an Exchangeable Group of Certificates, the Certificateholder desiring to effect the exchange shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing or by e-mail at ctssfexchanges@citi.com (with a subject line referencing “CGCMT 2017-P7” and setting forth the proposed Exchange Date) no later than three (3) Business Days before the proposed date of the exchange (the “Exchange Date”). The Exchange Date may be any Business Day other than the first or last Business Day of the month. An exchange notice must (i) be set forth on the applicable Certificateholder’s letterhead, (ii) carry a medallion stamp guarantee and (iii) set forth the following information: the CUSIP Number (if any) of each Certificate to be exchanged and each

-373-

Certificate to be received; the original and outstanding principal balance of the Certificates to be exchanged and the original and outstanding principal balance of the Certificates to be received; the Certificateholder’s Depository participant number, if applicable; and the proposed Exchange Date. A notice shall become irrevocable on the second (2nd) Business Day before the proposed Exchange Date. For so long as the Exchangeable Certificates being surrendered are held in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, the exchange shall be effected by the Certificate Administrator cancelling the Certificates being surrendered and executing and authenticating in the name of, and depositing in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for the benefit of, the applicable Certificateholder the Exchangeable Certificates to be received thereby. For so long as the Exchangeable Certificates are held as Definitive Certificates outside the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, the exchange shall be effected by the Certificate Administrator executing and authenticating in the name of, and delivering to, the applicable Certificateholder the Exchangeable Certificates to be received thereby, but only upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of the Exchangeable Certificates to be surrendered (which Certificates the Certificate Administrator shall promptly cancel). Following the end of the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period, if applicable, the Certificateholder and the Certificate Registrar shall utilize the “deposit and withdrawal system” at the Depository to effect the exchange of the applicable Certificates that are Global Certificates. If following the end of the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period the Exchangeable Certificates are being held in book-entry format, then the Global Certificates for one Exchangeable Group shall be exchangeable on the books of the Depository for the corresponding Global Certificates of the other Exchangeable Group, by notice to the Certificate Administrator substantially in the form of Exhibit NN.

(f)          In connection with any exchange of an Exchangeable Group of Certificates, (i) the Certificate Registrar shall reduce the outstanding aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes comprising the Exchangeable Group of Certificates surrendered by the applicable Holder on the Certificate Register and shall increase the outstanding aggregate Certificate Balance of the related Class or Classes of the Exchangeable Group of Certificates received by such Holder in such exchange on the Certificate Register, and (ii) in the case of any related Global Certificate, if applicable following the end of the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall approve the instructions at the Depository and make appropriate notations on the Global Certificate for each related Class of Certificates to reflect such reductions and increases. The Exchangeable Certificates received in any exchange pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall have the same aggregate principal balance and be deemed to have the same VRR Realized Losses previously allocated thereto as did the Exchangeable Certificates being surrendered, taking into account distributions of principal and allocations of VRR Realized Losses in the month of the exchange. If Class V-2 Certificates or Class V-3 Certificates are being received, the aggregate principal balance of such Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Classes thereof in proportion to the then respective Maximum Certificate Balances of such Classes, and the VRR Realized Losses deemed previously allocated to such Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Classes thereof in a manner reflective of what would have been the case if such Certificates had been issued on, and had continued to be outstanding since, the Closing Date. The “initial denomination” of any Certificate received in connection with an exchange shall reflect the denomination that would have been applicable if such Certificate had been issued on the Closing Date.

-374-

(g)          The Certificate Administrator shall make the first distribution on a Certificate received by a Certificateholder in any exchange on the Distribution Date in the month following the month of exchange to the Certificateholder of record as of the applicable Record Date for such Certificate and Distribution Date. If an Exchange Date occurs in any month before the Distribution Date in such month, then any distributions to be made on such Distribution Date on any Certificates surrendered in the exchange shall be so made to the Certificateholder of record as of the applicable Record Date for such Certificates and such Distribution Date. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Depositor shall have any obligation to ensure the availability of the applicable Certificates in the market to accomplish any exchange.

Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall be the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder.

(b)          Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.04 and Section 6.08(j), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not resign from their respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on them except upon determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law; provided that, on and after the time the Trustee receives notice

-378-

of resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law, the Trustee (solely with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) shall, subject to the terms and provisions of Section 7.02 of this Agreement as if the resigning party was a Terminated Party, be its successor in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as though the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, had received a notice of termination. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the resigning Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s expense) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, no resignation or removal of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer as contemplated herein shall become effective until the Trustee (solely with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or a successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of their Affiliates may be appointed as successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer. If no successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer can be obtained to perform such obligations for the same compensation to which the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled, additional amounts payable to such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be payable out of the Trust; provided that, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative prior to the appointment of a successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor at a servicing or operating advisor compensation in excess of that permitted to the terminated Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable.

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 6.04 as successor to the resigning Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 6.04, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 6.04.

(c)          The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties under this Agreement (a) upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. Except as provided in Section 6.04(d), no such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until a replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. The successor entity assuming the obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement shall be entitled to the compensation to which the Operating Advisor would

-379-

have been entitled hereunder after the date of assumption of such obligations. If no successor Operating Advisor can be obtained to perform such obligations for such compensation, additional amounts payable to such successor Operating Advisor shall be payable out of the Trust; provided that, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative prior to the appointment of a successor Operating Advisor at an operating advisor compensation in excess of that permitted to the terminated Operating Advisor. If no successor Operating Advisor has been appointed and accepted such appointment within 60 days after the resigning Operating Advisor’s giving of notice of resignation, the resigning Operating Advisor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all costs and expenses associated with its resignation and the transfer of its duties (including costs and expenses incurred by each other party hereto, the Trust and the Rating Agencies) pursuant to this Section 6.04.

(d)          In addition, following the end of the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period, in the event there are no Classes of Certificates outstanding other than the Control Eligible Certificates, the Class V-2E Certificates, the Class V-3E Certificates, the VRR Interest, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates, then all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement shall terminate without payment of any penalty or termination fee (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination). If the Operating Advisor is terminated pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then no replacement Operating Advisor shall be appointed.

Section 6.05      Rights of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in Respect of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, subject to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, each Rating Agency, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by it in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to its officers responsible for such obligations, if reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of such Person under this Agreement. Upon request, if reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of such Person under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, each of the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator its most recent publicly available annual financial statements or those of its public parent. The Depositor is not obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder which are in default and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of such Person hereunder or exercise its rights hereunder, provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. In the event the Depositor or its designee undertakes any such action it will be reimbursed by the Trust Fund from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 6.03 of this Agreement to the extent not recoverable from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Special

-380-

Servicer) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Master Servicer) shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and no such Person is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and neither such Person is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement or otherwise.

Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall furnish such reports, certifications and information as are reasonably requested by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in order to enable such requesting party to perform its duties hereunder, provided that for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not require any Person to prepare any reports, Certificates and information not required to be prepared hereunder.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any obligation to disclose confidential or proprietary information pursuant to this Section.

Section 6.06      Master Servicer, Special Servicer as Owner of a Certificate. The Master Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer may become the Holder (or with respect to a Global Certificate, Certificate Owner) of any Certificate with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder or Certificate Owner of any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take action (including for this purpose, omitting to take action) that (i) is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, violate the Servicing Standard, and (ii) if taken, might nonetheless, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may seek the approval of the Certificateholders and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder to such action by delivering to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a written notice that (i) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.06, (ii) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and (iii) describes in reasonable detail the action that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take. The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate) together with such instructions for response as the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably determine. If at any time Certificateholders holding greater than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates) and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder shall have consented in writing to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,

-381-

as applicable, of the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, except in the case of unusual circumstances.

Section 6.07      Rating Agency Fees. The Depositor shall pay (or cause to be paid) the annual fees of each Rating Agency including, but not limited to, surveillance fees.

With respect to any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled, to the extent provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement, at any time to terminate the rights (subject to Section 3.12, Section 6.03, Section 6.08(b) and Section 6.08(g) of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement solely with respect to such Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, with or without cause, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee and any other related Companion Loan Holder(s).

Upon a termination (pursuant to the first or the second paragraph of this Section 6.08(a)) or a resignation (pursuant to Section 6.04(b) of this Agreement) of the Special Servicer with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s), the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to the Serviced Loans other than any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) or the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (with respect to a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination), as applicable, shall appoint a successor Special Servicer with respect to the Serviced Loans (exclusive of any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) or the related Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) such successor shall meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02 of this Agreement, (ii) the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to the Serviced Loans other than any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) or the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (with respect to a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination), as applicable, shall (at no expense to the Trust) obtain and deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such proposed successor acting as a Special Servicer and (iii) in the case of the appointment of a successor Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to the Serviced Loans other than any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) or the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (with respect to a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination), as applicable, shall (at

-382-

no expense to the Trust or any related Other Securitization Trust) obtain and deliver to the certificate administrator (if any) and the trustee for each related Other Securitization Trust (with a copy to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee) a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such proposed successor acting as a Special Servicer for each related Serviced Companion Loan.

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer (with respect to all of the Serviced Loans other than any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) with a proposed successor Special Servicer, (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the termination of the existing Special Servicer and the replacement thereof with the proposed successor (with the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation to be an expense of such Holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice of the requested vote to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website and by mailing at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. Upon the affirmative vote of (a) the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) evidencing at least 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights allocable to the Certificates of those Holders that voted on such matter (provided that Holders representing the applicable Certificateholder Quorum vote on the matter) or (b) the Holders of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocable to each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights (subject to Section 3.12, Section 6.03 and Section 6.08(g) of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Serviced Loans (other than any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination), and the proposed successor Special Servicer shall succeed to the duties of the Special Servicer with respect to the Serviced Loans (other than any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) all as if a removal and replacement were occurring pursuant to Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 of this Agreement; provided that if such affirmative vote is not achieved within 180 days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such vote shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this paragraph shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Special Servicer shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Special Servicer.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner may register to receive e-mail notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting such notices.

-383-

(b)          If the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the Special Servicer has failed to comply with the Servicing Standard and (2) a replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole), the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written recommendation in the form of Exhibit T attached hereto (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, provided that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its position (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation), recommending a replacement special servicer with respect to the Serviced Loans, meeting the applicable requirements of this Agreement, which recommended special servicer has agreed to succeed the then-current Special Servicer if appointed in accordance herewith, and requesting a vote on whether the existing Special Servicer should be replaced. In any such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post a copy of such recommendation on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and by mail send notice of such recommendation to all Certificateholders, asking them to vote whether they wish to remove the Special Servicer with respect to the Serviced Loan(s). Upon (i) the affirmative vote of the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Certificates of those Holders that voted on the matter (provided that Holders representing the applicable Certificateholder Quorum vote on the matter within 180 days of the initial request for a vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is the date on the which the aforementioned notice was mailed to the Certificateholders)) and (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee shall (x) terminate all of the rights (subject to Section 3.12, Section 6.03 and Section 6.08(g) of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Serviced Loan(s), (y) appoint the recommended successor Special Servicer and (z) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation and administering such vote shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense. If such affirmative vote of the Holders of the required Certificates contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence is not achieved within 180 days of the initial request for such vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is the date on the which the aforementioned notice was mailed to the Certificateholders), then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer and such recommendation shall lapse and have no force or effect. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Serviced Loan(s), and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder. No penalty or fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer with respect to any termination pursuant to this Section 6.08(b). If any Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.08(b), then (notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary) the terminated party may not subsequently be re-appointed as the Special Servicer hereunder pursuant to any other subsection of this Section 6.08, any other section of this Agreement or any Co-Lender Agreement.

(c)          In no event may a successor Special Servicer be a current or former Operating Advisor or Asset Representations Reviewer or any Affiliate of such current or former Operating Advisor or Asset Representations Reviewer. Further, such successor must be a Person

-384-

that (i) satisfies all of the eligibility requirements applicable to special servicers contained in this Agreement and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, in the related Co-Lender Agreement, (ii) is not obligated or allowed to pay the Operating Advisor (x) any fees or otherwise compensate the Operating Advisor in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or (y) for the appointment of the successor Special Servicer or the recommendation by the Operating Advisor for the replacement Special Servicer to become the Special Servicer, (iii) is not entitled to waive any compensation from the Operating Advisor and (iv) is not entitled to receive any fee from the Operating Advisor for its appointment as successor Special Servicer, in each case, unless expressly approved by 100% of the Certificateholders.

(d)          The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Master Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, the initial Special Servicer specified in Section 3.21(a) of this Agreement shall not be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer. Any termination fee payable to the terminated Special Servicer and any costs incurred by the Trust or the terminated Special Servicer in connection with the replacement of a Special Servicer shall be paid by the Controlling Class Representative, the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Holder so terminating the Special Servicer and shall not in any event be an expense of the Trust Fund.

(e)          No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until (i) the successor Special Servicer shall have executed and delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an agreement which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Special Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement, (ii) the Depositor and, if applicable, each related Other Depositor shall have received the written notice and information with respect to the successor Special Servicer as set forth in Section 10.02(a) and (iii) subject to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, each Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a Rating Agency Confirmation and, if required pursuant to Section 6.08(a), each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and their respective counterparts with respect to the Other Securitization Trust a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, in each case with respect to such termination and appointment of a successor.

(f)          Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.06(a) of this Agreement mutatis mutandis as of the date of its succession.

(g)          In the event that the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.08, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Special Servicer, terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the applicable Mortgage Loan(s) and/or Serviced Loan Combinations and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Special Servicer may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including, without limitation, the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate on such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods

-385-

prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.03 of this Agreement and the right to receive ongoing Workout Fees in accordance with the terms hereof).

(h)         If (1) a replacement special servicer is appointed with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination or any related REO Property in accordance with Article VII or this Section 6.08 or (2) an Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer is appointed with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan, such that there are multiple parties acting as Special Servicer hereunder, then, unless the context clearly requires otherwise: (i) when used in the context of imposing duties and obligations on the Special Servicer hereunder or the performance of such duties and obligations, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean (A) the applicable Loan Combination Special Servicer, insofar as such duties and obligations relate to the subject Serviced Loan Combination or any related REO Property, (B) the applicable Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, insofar as such duties and obligations relate to the subject Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property and (C) the General Special Servicer, in all other cases (provided that, in Section 3.15 and Article VII of this Agreement, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean each of the Loan Combination Special Servicers, the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicers (if any) and the General Special Servicer); (ii) when used in the context of identifying the recipient of any information, funds, documents, instruments and/or other items, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean (A) the applicable Loan Combination Special Servicer, insofar as such information, funds, documents, instruments and/or other items relate to the subject Serviced Loan Combination or any related REO Property, (B) the applicable Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, insofar as such information, funds, documents, instruments and/or other items relate to the subject Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property and (C) the General Special Servicer, in all other cases; (iii) when used in the context of granting the Special Servicer the right to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and all other property held by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01 of this Agreement, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the General Special Servicer only; (iv) when used in the context of the Special Servicer being replaced pursuant to this Section 6.08 by the Controlling Class Representative or the applicable Certificateholders, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the General Special Servicer, the applicable Loan Combination Special Servicer or the applicable Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, if applicable; (v) when used in the context of granting the Special Servicer any protections, limitations on liability, immunities and/or indemnities hereunder, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean each of the Loan Combination Special Servicers, the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicers (if any) and the General Special Servicer; and (vi) when used in the context of requiring indemnification from, imposing liability on, or exercising any remedies against, the Special Servicer for any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or for any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of duties and obligations hereunder or any negligent disregard of such duties and obligations or otherwise holding the Special Servicer responsible for any of the foregoing, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the applicable Loan Combination Special Servicer, the applicable Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer or the General Special Servicer, as applicable.

(i)          References in this Agreement to “General Special Servicer” mean the Person performing the duties and obligations of special servicer with respect to the Mortgage Pool (exclusive of (A) any Serviced Loan Combination or related REO Property as to which a different Loan Combination Special Servicer has been appointed with respect thereto and (B) any Excluded

-386-

Special Servicer Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property as to which an Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer has been appointed with respect thereto).

(j)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.08, if the Special Servicer obtains knowledge that it is, or has become, a Borrower Party with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, then the Special Servicer shall resign in such capacity with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan is not also an Excluded Mortgage Loan, the Controlling Class Representative shall appoint (and replace with or without cause) the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement. If such Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan is also an Excluded Mortgage Loan, the largest Controlling Class Certificateholder (by Certificate Balance) that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall appoint (and replace with or without cause) the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement. If a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, neither the Controlling Class Representative nor any other Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be entitled to remove or replace the Special Servicer with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan. If a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the largest Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall have the right to appoint the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer.

If a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, or if neither the Controlling Class Representative nor any Controlling Class Certificateholder is entitled to appoint the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 6.08(j) (or if, despite being so entitled to appoint the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 6.08(j), neither the Controlling Class Representative nor any Controlling Class Certificateholder has appointed a Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage within 30 days), then the Certificate Administrator shall provide written notice to the resigning Special Servicer that such Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer has not been appointed and such resigning Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to appoint such Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer. In the event that the resigning Special Servicer is required to appoint an Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, the resigning Special Servicer shall not have any liability for the actions of the newly appointed Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, and absent willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence on the part of such resigning Special Servicer, the resigning Special Servicer and its directors, members, managers, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Trust Fund against any and all losses or liability incurred in connection with any legal action resulting from the actions of the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer. It shall be a condition to the appointment of any such Excluded Special Servicer that (i) such Excluded Special Servicer has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect such appointment to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee and, if the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment to the certificate administrator (if any) and the trustee for each related Other Securitization Trust (with a copy to the Certificate Administrator

and the Trustee), (ii) such Excluded Special Servicer satisfies all of the eligibility requirements applicable to the Special Servicer set forth in this Agreement and (iii) such Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the Depositor (and the Certificate Administrator) and any applicable Other Depositor (and any applicable Other Exchange Act Reporting Party), the information, if any, required under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

If at any time the Person that had acted as the Special Servicer for any Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination prior to such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, as the case may be, becoming an Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan is no longer a Borrower Party (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming REO Property or an assumption of the Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, as the case may be, (1) the related Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer shall resign, (2) such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, as the case may be, shall no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan, (3) such original Special Servicer shall become the Special Servicer again for such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, as the case may be, and (4) such original Special Servicer shall be entitled to all Special Servicing Compensation and Additional Special Servicing Compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, as the case may be, earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, as the case may be, is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan.

The Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer shall perform all of the obligations of the Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan and will be entitled to all Special Servicing Compensation and Additional Special Servicing Compensation with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan earned after its appointment as the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer and during such time as the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan (provided that the Special Servicer shall remain entitled to all Special Servicing Compensation and Additional Special Servicing Compensation with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combinations that are not Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loans during such time).

(k)          If a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, a related Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has actual knowledge that a Mortgage Loan is no longer an Excluded Mortgage Loan, an Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer, the related Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide prompt written notice thereof to each of the other parties to this Agreement.

Section 6.09      The Directing Holder, the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(a)          The related Directing Holder (unless, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or the subject Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan) shall be entitled: (1) with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) that are Specially Serviced Loan(s), to advise the Special Servicer as to all Major Decisions; (2) with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) that

-388-

are Performing Serviced Loan(s), to advise the Special Servicer as to all Major Decisions; and (3) in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, to exercise consultation and, to the extent provided in Section 3.01(i), consent rights (if any) and attend annual meetings with the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Special Servicer, in each case, to the extent the holder of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is entitled to such rights pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement.

In addition, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to, Section 6.09(b) and the subsequent paragraphs of this Section 6.09(a), (1) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall take such action or unless the Mortgage Loan is a PrinREI-Subserviced Loan, subject to the consent of the Special Servicer, who shall have 15 Business Days (or 60 days with respect to the determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default) (from the date that the Special Servicer receives the information from the Master Servicer) to analyze and make a recommendation regarding such Major Decision (provided that if the Special Servicer does not consent, or notify the Master Servicer that it will not consent, to such Major Decision within the required 15 Business Days or 60 days, as applicable, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have consented to such Major Decision), and (2) the Special Servicer shall not be permitted (if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, for so long as no Control Termination Event exists) to take, or to consent to the Master Servicer’s taking, any of the actions constituting a Major Decision as to which the related Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) days (or, in the case of a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, such other period contemplated by the related Co-Lender Agreement)) after receipt of the related Major Decision Reporting Package from the Special Servicer (provided that (i) if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period or twenty (20) day period (or, in the case of a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, such other period contemplated by the related Co-Lender Agreement), as applicable, then the related Directing Holder will be deemed to have approved such action and (ii) the consent of the Controlling Class Representative shall not be required in connection with a Major Decision with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan).

Furthermore, each of (x) the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to each Serviced Loan other than (i) a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination and (ii) an Excluded Mortgage Loan), provided that a Control Termination Event does not exist, and (y) the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (with respect to a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) as such party may reasonably deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, the Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative prior to taking, or consenting to the Master Servicer’s taking of, any Major Decision following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided that, the Special Servicer shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with (i) the Controlling Class Representative (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and only until the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination

-389-

Event, but other than with respect to any Excluded Mortgage Loan), (ii) the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event) and (iii) the Risk Retention Consultation Party under the circumstances set forth in the third following paragraph, in connection with any Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the Controlling Class Representative, the Operating Advisor and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, but, in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, only to the extent such consultation with, or consent of, the Controlling Class Representative would have been required prior to the occurrence and continuance of such Control Termination Event; and provided, further, that the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination that does not include an Excluded Mortgage Loan and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event exists) may consult regarding a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination only if and to the extent that the holder of the related Split Mortgage Loan is granted consultation rights under the related Co-Lender Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include, without limitation, any Servicing Shift Loan Combination prior to the related Servicing Shift Date), the Special Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining any consent or deemed consent of the related Outside Controlling Note Holder for “Major Decisions” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Co-Lender Agreement) to the extent such consent is required under this Agreement or under the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no consent or consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions with respect to any Excluded Mortgage Loan, and the Risk Retention Consulting Party shall have no consultation rights with respect to any Excluded RRCP Mortgage Loan.

With respect to a Servicing Shift Loan Combination that is a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, prior to the related Servicing Shift Date, no request for approval of the Controlling Class Representative shall be made on any matter related to such Servicing Shift Loan Combination, except that the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only if the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Mortgage Loan) may exercise the consultation rights, if any, of the holder of the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan with respect to Major Decisions and any proposed sale of such Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan set forth in the applicable Co-Lender Agreement. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event, the Operating Advisor will be entitled, while a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan is serviced hereunder, to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Major Decisions and any proposed sale of such Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan.

With respect to each Major Decision as to which the Directing Holder has consent or consultation rights pursuant to this Section 6.09, the Special Servicer shall provide the related Major Decision Reporting Package to the Directing Holder, simultaneously with the Special Servicer’s request for the Directing Holder’s consent or input regarding the related Major Decision. The Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor: (i) as to Specially Serviced Loans, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event, simultaneously upon providing such Major Decision Reporting Package to the Directing Holder; and (ii) as to all Serviced Loans, following the occurrence and continuance of an Operating

-390-

Advisor Consultation Trigger Event (whether or not a Control Termination Event is continuing), simultaneously with the Special Servicer’s written request for the Operating Advisor’s input regarding the related Major Decision. With respect to any particular Major Decision and related Major Decision Reporting Package provided to the Operating Advisor pursuant to this Section 6.09(a), the Special Servicer shall make available to the Operating Advisor Servicing Officers with relevant knowledge regarding the applicable Mortgage Loan and such Major Decision in order to address reasonable questions that the Operating Advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and potential conflicts of interest and compensation with respect to such Major Decision.

In addition, (i) for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan (other than any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Excluded RRCP Mortgage Loan with respect to the applicable Risk Retention Consultation Party), and (ii) during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Excluded RRCP Mortgage Loan), in each case upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party on a non-binding basis in connection with any Major Decision that it is processing (and such other matters that are subject to the non-binding consultation rights of the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to this Agreement) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the Risk Retention Consultation Party in respect of such Major Decision (or any other matter requiring consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party); provided that in the event the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from the Risk Retention Consultation Party within 10 days following the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, delivery of the related Major Decision Reporting Package, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be obligated to consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party on the specific matter (provided, however, that the failure of the Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond will not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from using reasonable efforts to consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party on any future matters with respect to the applicable Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or any other Serviced Mortgage Loan). For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Risk Retention Consulting Party shall have no consultation rights with respect to any Excluded RRCP Mortgage Loan and (y) any consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party under this Agreement shall occur only upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, and any such consultation shall be on a strictly non-binding basis and shall be subject to all limitations with respect to the procedures and timing for such consultation set forth in this Section 6.09.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of, or consultation with, the related Directing Holder or consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, with respect to a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan(s))), the Special

-391-

Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer’s) or the Risk Retention Consultation Party’s, as applicable, response.

Also notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no direction, objection, advice or consultation on the part of a Directing Holder, and no advice from the Risk Retention Consultation Party, contemplated by this Agreement, may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, any provision of any related Loan Documents, any related Co-Lender Agreement, any intercreditor agreement, applicable law, this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation each of the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose any Certificateholder, the Trust Fund, any Mortgage Loan Seller (other than with respect to enforcing the rights and remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Material Defect) or any party to this Agreement or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability, or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, or result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or any Co-Lender Agreement or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner that is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and/or the Serviced Companion Loan Holders.

In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by a Directing Holder or any advice from a Directing Holder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Loan Documents, any related Co-Lender Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, applicable law, the REMIC Provisions or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify in writing such Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Trustee and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of a Directing Holder or the recommendation of the Risk Retention Consultation Party that does not violate any law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

For so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled, with respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan other than any Excluded Mortgage Loan, to exercise the consent or approval rights set forth in Section 3.01(i) of this Agreement; and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled, with respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan other than any Excluded Mortgage Loan, to exercise any consultation rights permitted under the related Co-Lender Agreement in respect of “Major

-392-

Decisions” (or any analogous concept) and the implementation of “Asset Status Reports” (or any analogous concept) under, and within the meaning of, the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and attend an annual meeting with the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Special Servicer, in each case, to the extent the holder of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is entitled to such rights pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement.

The Directing Holder will have no liability to the Trust Fund or Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to this Agreement, or for error in judgment; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative will not be protected against any liability to any Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties.

The Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability to the Trust Fund, any party to this Agreement or any Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment.

By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) a Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) a Directing Holder may act solely in its own interests (or, in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class); (iii) a Directing Holder does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates (other than, in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, the Controlling Class); (iv) a Directing Holder may take actions that favor its own interests (or in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class) over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) a Directing Holder shall have no liability whatsoever (other than, in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) of this paragraph, and that no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against any Directing Holder or any affiliate, director, officer, employee, shareholder, member, partner, agent or principal thereof for having so acted; provided, however, that the rights of a Directing Holder are subject to any related mezzanine intercreditor agreement.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(i)           after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement;

(ii)          after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) (other than any Excluded Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) (other than any Excluded Mortgage Loan),

-393-

but only to the extent consultation with, or consent of, the Controlling Class Representative would have been required under such circumstances prior to the occurrence and continuance of such Control Termination Event; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative shall not be permitted to consult with respect to any Serviced AB Loan Combination while any related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder is the related Outside Controlling Note Holder;

(iii)        after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as a Directing Holder; provided that each Controlling Class Certificateholder shall maintain the right to exercise Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder under this Agreement (other than with respect to Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loans); and

(iv)        no Person may exercise any of the rights and powers of the Controlling Class Representative with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to instructions, directions, objections, advice or consultation from a Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Operating Advisor or a Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) that would cause any one of them to violate applicable law, the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the related Loan Documents, this Agreement, including the Servicing Standard, the related Co-Lender Agreement, any related intercreditor agreement, or the REMIC Provisions or that would (i) expose any Certificateholder, the Trust Fund, any Mortgage Loan Seller (other than with respect to enforcing the rights and remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Material Defect) or any party to this Agreement or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability, (ii) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or any Co-Lender Agreement, (iii) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, or result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, or (iv) cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner that in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and/or the Serviced Companion Loan Holders.

(d)         Each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such Certificate (or beneficial ownership interest in such Certificate) to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Certificate Administrator, in writing, of the transfer of any Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership of any Control Eligible Certificate), the selection of a Controlling Class Representative or the resignation or removal of the Controlling Class Representative. Any such Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner) or its designee at any time

-394-

appointed Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership interest in a Control Eligible Certificate) to notify the Certificate Administrator in writing when such Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner) or designee is appointed Controlling Class Representative and when it is removed or resigns. Upon receipt of any of the notices referred to in the preceding two sentences of this Section 6.09(d), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify, in writing, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee of the identity of the Controlling Class Representative, any resignation or removal of the Controlling Class Representative and/or any new Holder or Certificate Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate. In addition, upon the request of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall provide (on a reasonably prompt basis) the identity of the then-current Controlling Class and a list of the Certificateholders (or Certificate Owners, if applicable, at the expense of the Trust if such expense arises in connection with an event as to which the Controlling Class Representative or the Controlling Class has consent or consultation rights pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with a request made by the Operating Advisor in connection with its obligation under Section 3.29(d)(ii) of this Agreement to deliver a copy of the Operating Advisor Annual Report to the Controlling Class Representative, and otherwise at the expense of the requesting party) of the Controlling Class to such requesting party, and each of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information so provided by the Certificate Administrator.

In the event of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly contact the current Holder(s) (or, in the case of book-entry Certificates, Certificate Owners) of the Controlling Class (or any designee(s) thereof) or, if known to the Certificate Administrator, one of its affiliates or, if applicable, any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s), and determine whether any such entity is the Holder (or Certificate Owner) of at least a majority of the Controlling Class (in effect after such change in Controlling Class) by Certificate Balance. If at any time the current Holder of the Controlling Class (or its designee) or, if known to the Certificate Administrator, one of its Affiliates, or any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) is no longer the Holder (or Certificate Owner) of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Balance and the Certificate Administrator has neither (i) received notice of the then-current Controlling Class Certificateholders of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Balance nor (ii) received notice of a replacement Controlling Class Representative pursuant to this Agreement, then a Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be deemed to continue until such time as the Certificate Administrator receives any such notice in clauses (i) or (ii).

Upon receipt of notice of a change in Controlling Class Representative or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly forward notice thereof to each other party to this Agreement.

On the Closing Date, the initial Controlling Class Representative shall deliver (which delivery may be by electronic mail) a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1H to this Agreement to the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly forward such certification to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor).

-395-

Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Controlling Class Representative, any successor Controlling Class Representative shall also deliver a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1H to this Agreement to the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly forward such certification to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor) prior to being recognized as the new Controlling Class Representative.

(e)          Once a Controlling Class Representative has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless a majority of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class, by Certificate Balance, or such Controlling Class Representative shall have notified the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and each other Certificateholder of the Controlling Class, in writing, of the resignation of such Controlling Class Representative or the selection of a new Controlling Class Representative. Upon receipt of written notice of, or other knowledge of, the resignation of a Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall request the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class to select a new Controlling Class Representative.

(f)           If at any time a book-entry certificate belongs to the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Certificate Owner or Certificate Owners (through the Depository, unless the Certificate Administrator shall have been previously provided with the name and address of such Certificate Owner or Certificate Owners) of such event and shall request that it be informed of any change in the identity of the related Certificate Owner from time to time.

(g)          Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class and the Controlling Class Representative.

(h)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at any time when the Class F Certificates are the Controlling Class, the Holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance) may waive its right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in this Agreement, by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor (any such Holder or group of affiliated Holders that makes such an election, the “Opting-Out Party”). Whenever such waiver by an Opting-Out Party is in effect, (1) a Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred and be continuing; and (2) the rights of the holder of more than 50% of the Class F Certificates (by Certificate Balance), if the Class F Certificates are the Controlling Class, to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative and the rights of a Controlling Class Representative will not be operative (notwithstanding whether a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event is or would otherwise then be in effect). Any such waiver shall remain effective with respect to such Holder and such Class until such time as either (x) the Class F Certificates are no longer the Controlling Class or (y) the Opting-Out Party has (i) sold a majority of the Class F Certificates (by Certificate Balance) to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) certified to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee,

-396-

Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor that (a) the Opting-Out Party retains no direct or indirect Voting Rights with respect to the Class F Certificates that it transferred, (b) there is no voting agreement between the Opting-Out Party and the transferee and (c) the Opting-Out Party retains no direct or indirect economic interest in the Class F Certificates that it transferred (such sale and certification, a “Class F Transfer”). Following any such Class F Transfer, and if the Class F Certificates are still the Controlling Class, the successor holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance) shall again have the right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative as set forth herein without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Certificateholder. Such successor Certificateholder shall also have the right as provided in this Section 6.09(h) to irrevocably waive its right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative or, subject to any such limitations set forth in this Agreement (including by reason of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event otherwise existing), to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or to cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement. No successor Certificateholder described above in this paragraph shall have any consent rights with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the Class F Transfer and had not also become a Corrected Loan prior to such Class F Transfer until such Serviced Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Loan.

(i)          CGMRC shall be the initial Risk Retention Consultation Party and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Risk Retention Consultation Party, any successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1I to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Risk Retention Consultation Party. The parties hereto shall be entitled to assume that the Risk Retention Consultation Party has not changed absent such notice.

(j)          Once the Risk Retention Consultation Party has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless CGMRC or the Risk Retention Consultation Party itself shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Holder of Vertically Retained Certificates, in writing, of the selection of a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(k)         Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Risk Retention Consultation Party may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Risk Retention Consultation Party may act solely in the interests of the Holders of one or more Classes of Vertically Retained Certificates; (iii) the Risk Retention Consultation Party does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates; (iv) the Risk Retention Consultation Party may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of one or more Classes, including one or more Classes of the Vertically Retained Certificates, over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Risk Retention Consultation Party

-397-

or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Risk Retention Consultation Party for having so acted.

-399-

qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status” placement has not been withdrawn by such Rating Agency (or, in the case of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, any Companion Loan Rating Agency), within 60 days of such event);

(ix)         with respect to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer ceases to have a commercial master servicer rating of at least “CMS3” from Fitch and that rating is not reinstated within 60 days or, with respect to the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer ceases to have a commercial special servicer rating of at least “CSS3” from Fitch and that rating is not reinstated within 60 days, as the case may be; or

(x)          the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or any primary servicer or Sub-Servicer appointed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, after the Closing Date (but excluding any Sub-Servicer set forth on Exhibit S), shall (A) for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of Regulation AB or the Exchange Act, fail to deliver the items required to be delivered by this Agreement after any applicable notice and cure period to enable the Certificate Administrator or Depositor to comply with the reporting obligations of the Trust under the Exchange Act or (B) for so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of Regulation AB or the Exchange Act, fail to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered by such servicer to the related Other Depositor or related Other Exchange Act Reporting Party pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), within (a) with respect to the delivery of any item relating to a Reportable Event, two (2) Business Days of such failure to comply with Article X or (b) with respect to the delivery of any other item, five (5) Business Days of such failure to comply with Article X (any primary servicer or Sub-Servicer that defaults in accordance with this Section 7.01(a)(x) shall be terminated at the direction of the Depositor);

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either (i) the Trustee may or (ii) upon the written direction to the Trustee from (x) the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates, or (y) an affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder (but, subject to the next sentence, solely in the case of the related Serviced Loan Combination and a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Special Servicer), then the Trustee shall, terminate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it shall not be a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the pool of Mortgage Loans under clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (viii) or (ix) above if the failure, default or event only has an adverse effect on a Serviced Companion Loan, a Serviced Companion Loan Holder or a rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, but shall be a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder shall: (i) in the case of any such failure, default or event on the part of the Master Servicer, have the remedies set forth in Section 7.01(d) with respect to the Servicer Termination Event with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan; and (ii) with respect to any such failure, default or event on the part of the Special Servicer, be able to require termination of the Special Servicer with respect to, but only with respect to, the related Serviced Loan Combination.

-400-

In the event that the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer is terminated as provided in this Section 7.01, the Master Servicer shall also be terminated as Special Servicer.

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

Upon the assignment and acceptance of master servicing rights hereunder (subject to the terms of Section 3.12 of this Agreement) to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) of this Agreement, the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).

The Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) of this Agreement shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the attempt to sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Loan Combinations, which expenses are not reimbursed to the party that incurred such expenses pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within the above-described time period or no Successful Bidder was identified within the above-described time period, the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) shall

-401-

reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under this Section 7.01(b). The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02.

(c)          In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party”), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate on such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.03 and subsection (b) above notwithstanding any such termination). On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, all of its authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder in the event and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) or the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agrees that, in the event it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at its own expense, the Trustee (or the successor Master Servicer selected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, otherwise appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) with all documents and records requested by the Trustee (or the successor Master Servicer selected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, otherwise appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) to enable the Trustee or other successor to its responsibilities hereunder to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Trustee and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination and transfer of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Collection Account, any Loan Combination Custodial Account, any REO Account or Lock-Box Account shall thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination, and shall promptly provide the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (which may include the Trustee), as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall reasonably request (including electromagnetic form), to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s function hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by the Trustee,

-402-

the Certificate Administrator or the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer in connection with transferring Mortgage Files, Servicing Files and related information, records and reports to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect (as well as providing appropriate notices to Mortgagors, ground lessors, insurers and other applicable third parties regarding) such succession as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund; provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses.

(d)          Notwithstanding Sections 7.01(a) and Section 7.01(c), if (1) any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or the rating on a class of the related Serviced Companion Loan Securities and the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 7.01(c), or (2) a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer occurs that affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or the rating on a class of the related Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the Master Servicer may not be terminated in accordance with Section 7.01(c), but, at the written direction of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Master Servicer shall appoint, within 30 days of such direction, a sub-servicer (or, if the related Serviced Loan Combination is currently being sub-serviced, to replace, within 30 days of such direction, the then current sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer). In connection with the Master Servicer’s appointment of any sub-servicer at the direction of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d), the Master Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. The related sub-servicing agreement shall provide that any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the direction of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d) shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be entitled to all compensation, of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination, except that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of the Servicing Fee for the Mortgage Loan that is part of the related Serviced Loan Combination equal to any related Excess Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan (and any related REO Mortgage Loan). Such sub-servicing agreement (a) may be terminated without cause and without payment of any fee and (b) shall also provide that such sub-servicer shall agree to become the master servicer under a separate servicing agreement for the applicable Serviced Loan Combination in the event that such Serviced Loan Combination is no longer to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate servicing agreement shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact that the applicable Serviced Loan Combination and the related Mortgaged Properties shall be the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder. If any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the direction of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d) shall at any time resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer shall be required to promptly appoint a substitute sub-servicer and obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation. In the event a successor Master Servicer is acting hereunder and that successor Master Servicer desires to terminate the sub-servicer appointed

-403-

under this Section 7.01(d), the terminated Master Servicer that was responsible for the Servicer Termination Event that led to the appointment of such sub-servicer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such termination, including the payment of any termination fee.

(e)          If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has received written notice (which, for the purposes of this clause (e), shall include any publications by Moody’s, Fitch or KBRA of which the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, as the case may be, has actual knowledge) from Moody’s, Fitch or KBRA that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer no longer is an approved master servicer or approved special servicer, as applicable, then such party shall promptly notify the others, and the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, to the extent known to the Certificate Administrator, of the same.

Section 7.02      Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to the following provisions of this Section 7.02, be its successor in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and, except as provided herein, shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee shall have no responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes, disks, information or moneys shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement prior to the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s termination. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer or Special Servicer. The Trustee shall not be liable for any of the representations, liabilities or warranties of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or predecessor Special Servicer or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07 of this Agreement nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans that accrue after the date of the Trustee’s succession to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, had continued to act hereunder. In the event any Advances made by the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall at any time be outstanding, or any amounts of interest thereon shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay Advances and interest hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances made by the Trustee (and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon), until such Advances and interest shall have been repaid in full. Notwithstanding the above and subject to Section 6.08, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights so

-404-

request in writing to the Trustee, or if the Rating Agencies do not provide Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to the Trustee so acting, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution for which a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has been obtained (at the expense of the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or, if the expense is not so recovered, at the expense of the Trust Fund), as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder; provided that, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to approve a successor Special Servicer with respect to any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to approve a successor Special Servicer with respect to the other Serviced Loans. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until (i) the assumption by such successor of all the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder and (ii) in the case of the appointment of a successor Special Servicer, the Depositor and, if applicable, each related Other Depositor shall have received the written notice and information with respect to such successor Special Servicer as set forth in Section 10.02(a). Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer is also the Master Servicer) hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. Pending the appointment of a successor to the Special Servicer, unless the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party hereunder; provided, further, that if no successor to the Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations of such Terminated Party hereunder, additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party shall be treated as Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses; and provided, further that, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative (and, if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is affected, the Trustee shall consult with the related Outside Controlling Note Holder) prior to the appointment of a successor to the Terminated Party at such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 as successor to the terminated Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.02.

-405-

Section 7.03        Notification to Certificateholders.

(a)        Upon any termination pursuant to Section 7.01 above or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, to the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, and electronically, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider.

(b)        Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge, the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder (to the extent the Certificate Administrator has received the notice information for such Serviced Companion Loan Holder after a request therefor) and electronically, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event, unless such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event shall have been cured or waived.

Section 7.04       Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Holders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the defaulting Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to remedy, after the presentation of reasonable documentation, the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such expenses, costs and liability from the Collection Account or the Loan Combination Custodial Account, as applicable, as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 3.06A of this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be relieved of such liability for such expenses, costs and liabilities. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

Section 7.05        Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Operating Advisor Termination Events; Termination. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates (and, if such Servicer Termination Event is on the part of a Special Servicer, with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination only, by each affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder) may, on behalf of all Holders of Certificates, waive any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer, Special

-406-

Servicer or any Operating Advisor Termination Event on the part of the Operating Advisor in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a Servicer Termination Event in connection with making any required deposits (including, with respect to the Master Servicer, P&I Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, a Loan Combination Custodial Account or the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with such default and prior to such waiver shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, promptly upon demand therefor and if not reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator within 90 days of such demand, from the Trust Fund; provided that the Trust Fund shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, to the extent such amounts are reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator from the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) a Servicer Termination Event under any of Section 7.01(a)(i) and Section 7.01(a)(ii) of this Agreement may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes, and (b) a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(x) of this Agreement may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor, together with (in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b) of this sentence) the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, if any, that is affected by such Servicer Termination Event.

The foregoing paragraph notwithstanding, if the Holders representing at least the requisite percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to each affected Class of Certificates desire to waive a Servicer Termination Event by the Master Servicer, but a Serviced Companion Loan Holder related to a Serviced Loan Combination (if adversely affected thereby) does not wish to waive that Servicer Termination Event, then those Certificateholders may still waive that Servicer Termination Event, and the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder will be entitled to require that the Master Servicer appoint, within 60 days of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder’s request, a sub-servicer (or, if the applicable Serviced Loan Combination is currently being subserviced, to replace, within 60 days of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder’s request, the then current sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer) with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination. In connection with the Master Servicer’s appointment of a sub-servicer at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05, the Master Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency at the expense of the Serviced Companion Loan Holder. The related sub-servicing agreement shall provide that any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05 shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be entitled to all compensation , of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination, except that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of the Servicing Fee for the related Mortgage Loan equal to any related Excess Servicing Fee. Such Sub-Servicing Agreement (a) may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any fee and (b) shall also provide that such sub-servicer shall become the master servicer under a separate servicing agreement for the applicable Serviced Loan Combination in the event that the Serviced Loan Combination is no longer to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate servicing agreement shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of

liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact that the applicable Serviced Loan Combination and the related Mortgaged Properties shall be the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder. Such sub-servicer (a) may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any fee and (b) shall meet the requirements of Section 3.01 of this Agreement. If any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05 shall at any time resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer shall be required to promptly appoint a substitute sub-servicer with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained at the expense of the applicable resigning or terminated sub-servicer (and any applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement shall so provide), and if the resigning or terminated sub-servicer fails to cover such expense, the Master Servicer shall do so. In the event a successor Master Servicer is acting hereunder and that successor Master Servicer desires to terminate the sub-servicer appointed under this Section 7.05, the terminated Master Servicer that was responsible for the Servicer Termination Event that led to the appointment of such sub-servicer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such termination, including the payment of any termination fee.

Section 7.06        Termination of the Operating Advisor.

(a)        An “Operating Advisor Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

(i)        any failure by the Operating Advisor to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Operating Advisor by the Trustee or to the Operating Advisor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates; provided, however, that with respect to any such failure which is not curable within such 30-day period, the Operating Advisor shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure with the initial 30-day period and has provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;

(ii)        any failure by the Operating Advisor to perform its obligations set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure is given to the Operating Advisor by any party to this Agreement;

(iii)      any failure by the Operating Advisor to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days;

(iv)      a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver

-408-

or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Operating Advisor, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

(v)       the Operating Advisor shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Operating Advisor or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(vi)      the Operating Advisor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of notice of the occurrence of any Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website, unless the Certificate Administrator has received notice that it has been remedied. If an Operating Advisor Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Operating Advisor Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Operating Advisor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Operating Advisor Termination Event of which the Depositor becomes aware.

(b)        Upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 15% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor with a proposed successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice of the requested vote to the Operating Advisor and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such notice on its internet website, and (ii) mailing such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Operating Advisor. Upon the affirmative vote of the Holders of Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocable to the Non-Reduced Certificates of those Holders that exercise their right to vote (provided that Holders entitled to exercise at least 50% of the Voting Rights allocable to the Non-Reduced Certificates exercise their right to vote within 180 days of the initial request for a vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is the date on which the aforementioned notice was mailed to the Certificateholders)), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this

-409-

Agreement by notice in writing to the Operating Advisor. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 7.06(b) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Operating Advisor shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Operating Advisor, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Operating Advisor. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner may register to receive e-mail notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting such notices.

(c)        On or after the receipt by the Operating Advisor of such written notice of termination, subject to the foregoing, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Operating Advisor shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 Business Days after (1) the Operating Advisor resigns pursuant to Section 6.04 of this Agreement (excluding resignation under the circumstances contemplated in Section 6.04(d) where no successor Operating Advisor is required to be appointed) or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee shall appoint a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of a successor Operating Advisor to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, any related Outside Controlling Note Holder and, if a Consultation Termination Event does not exist, the Controlling Class Representative within one Business Day of such appointment, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide written notice of such appointment to each Certificateholder within one Business Day of the receipt of such notice of appointment from the Trustee. Except as contemplated by Section 7.06(b) of this Agreement, the appointment of a successor Operating Advisor shall not be subject to the vote, consent or approval of the holder of any Class of Certificates.

The Operating Advisor shall not at any time be the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, a Sponsor or an Affiliate of any of them. If any of such entities becomes the Operating Advisor, including by means of an Affiliation arising after the date hereof, the Operating Advisor shall immediately resign or cause an assignment under Section 6.04 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor Operating Advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 7.06(c), which successor Operating Advisor may be an Affiliate of the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor Operating Advisor within 30 days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. Unless and until a replacement Operating Advisor is appointed, no party shall act as the Operating Advisor and the provisions in this Agreement relating to consultation with respect to the Operating Advisor shall not be applicable until a replacement Operating Advisor is appointed hereunder.

-410-

(d)        Upon any resignation or termination of the Operating Advisor and, if applicable, appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Depositor, any related Outside Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Class Representative (if a Consultation Termination Event does not exist) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider. In the event that the Operating Advisor resigns or is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such resignation or termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than any rights to indemnification arising out of events occurring prior to such resignation or termination.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE and The Certificate Administrator

Section 8.01        Duties of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

(a)        The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge and after the curing or waiver of all Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no permissive right of the Trustee shall be construed as a duty. During the continuance of a Servicer Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.02 and Section 7.04 of this Agreement, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. The Certificate Administrator undertakes to perform at all times such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no permissive right of the Certificate Administrator shall be construed as a duty.

(b)        Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of any resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (other than the Mortgage Files, the review of which is specifically governed by the terms of Article II, the Diligence Files, any CREFC® reports and any information delivered for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website or the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement to the extent specifically set forth herein; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument provided to it hereunder if accepted in good faith. If any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall request a corrected instrument, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, reasonable satisfaction, the Certificate Administrator (if the

Certificate Administrator requested the corrected instrument or upon direction from the Trustee if the Trustee requested the corrected instrument) will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.

(c)        Neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Act shall have any liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, provided that, subject to Section 8.02 of this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, or any such person, from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or its own bad faith; and provided, further, that:

(i)         Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, and after the curing or waiver of all such Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any resolutions, certificates, statements, reports, opinions, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, that conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement without responsibility for investigating the contents thereof;

(v)        Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is incidental to its respective duties as Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement (and, if it does, all reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action shall be expenses and costs of the Trust Fund) and in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability for which reimbursement is not reasonably assured, and the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account, unless such legal action arises (i) as a result of any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of duties of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, or by reason of negligent disregard of the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s, as the case may be, obligations or duties hereunder, or (ii) as a result of the breach by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, of any of its representations or warranties contained herein; provided, however, that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may in its discretion undertake any such action related to its obligations hereunder which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder;

(vi)       Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be charged with knowledge of any act, failure to act or breach of any Person unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of such act, failure to act or breach or receives written notice of such act, failure to act or breach from any other party to this Agreement, any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, a Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Directing Holder or the Controlling Class Representative; and

(vii)      Except in the event of the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud, in no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, to expend or risk its own funds, or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if in the opinion of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner

-413-

of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer (other than the obligations to make Advances under Sections 3.20 and 4.06 of this Agreement), the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Certificate Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement.

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each other party hereto and each Rating Agency in connection with its resignation (including, but not limited to, the costs of assigning Mortgage Loans by reason of change in Trustee).

If at any time either the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or Master Servicer, or if at any time either the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and promptly appoint a successor Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, which shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, so removed and to the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable.

In connection with the

-424-

appointment of a successor Trustee, the predecessor Trustee (or a Custodian on its behalf) shall deliver to the successor Trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

Section 8.10        Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund, the assets thereof or any property securing the same may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act (at the expense of (i) the Trustee, if the need to appoint such co-trustee(s) arises from any change in or matter relating to the identity, organization, status, power, conflicts, internal policy or other development or matter with respect to the Trustee, and/or (ii) the Trust Fund, if the need to appoint such co-trustee(s) arises from a change in applicable law or the identity, status or power of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in the event the need to appoint such co-trustee(s) arises from a combination of the events described in clause (i) and clause (ii), the expense shall be split evenly between the Trustee and the Trust Fund; and provided, further, that in the event the need to appoint

-425-

such co-trustee(s) arises from none of the events described in clause (i) and clause (ii), such appointment shall be at the expense of the Trust Fund) as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not be in existence or shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. Except as required by applicable law, the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its responsibilities, obligations and liabilities hereunder. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee solely at the direction of the Trustee.

The Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee, or if the separate trustee or co-trustee is an employee of the Trustee, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. In no event shall any such separate trustee or co-trustee be entitled to any provision relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, such separate trustee or co-trustee that imposes a standard of conduct less stringent than that imposed on the Trustee hereunder, affording greater protection than that afforded to the Trustee hereunder or providing a greater limit on liability than that provided to the Trustee hereunder.

-426-

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

(b)        In connection with a termination contemplated by Section 9.01(a) of this Agreement, the Trust REMICs outstanding shall be terminated and the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC shall be sold or otherwise disposed of in connection therewith, pursuant to a “plan of complete liquidation” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A) providing for the actions contemplated by the provisions hereof pursuant to which the applicable Notice of Termination is given and requiring that the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC shall be sold for cash and that each such Trust REMIC shall terminate on a Distribution Date occurring not more than 90 days following the date of adoption of the plan of complete liquidation. For purposes of this Section 9.01(b), the Notice of Termination given pursuant to Section 9.01(c) shall constitute the adoption of the plan of complete liquidation as of the date such notice is given, which date shall be specified by the Certificate Administrator in the final federal income tax returns of each Trust REMIC. Notwithstanding the termination of the Trust REMICs, or the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for filing the final Tax Returns for the Trust REMICs and for the Grantor Trust for the period ending with such termination, and shall maintain books and records with respect to the Trust REMICs and the Grantor Trust for the period for which it maintains its own tax returns or other reasonable period.

(c)        The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if none of such

-429-

Holders, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer does, any Holders of Class R Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the parties (or, if applicable, the other parties) to this Agreement (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holders) any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and in the case of the Serviced Loan Combinations, subject to certain rights of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Co-Lender Agreement) then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired by or on behalf of the Trust Fund (including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) in respect of any Mortgage Loan then included in the Trust Fund, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to (i) the sum of (A) the Termination Purchase Amount and (B) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer (unless the Master Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer (unless the Special Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, with respect to such termination, minus (ii) solely in the case where the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is effecting such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, if any, made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of such Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Fees, as applicable, remaining outstanding (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with such purchase).

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notify the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder) of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to this Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Appraiser pursuant to this subsection (c).

(d)        If the Trust Fund has not been previously terminated pursuant to subsection (c) or subsection (h) of this Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall determine as soon as practicable the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Administrator reasonably anticipates, based on information with respect to the Mortgage Loans previously provided to it, that the final distribution will be made (i) to the Holders of outstanding Regular Certificates, to the Holders of outstanding Grantor Trust Certificates (exclusive of the Class S Certificates) in respect of the Class VRR Upper-Tier Regular Interest and to the Trustee in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, notwithstanding that such distribution may be insufficient to distribute in full an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Balance or Lower-Tier Principal Balance, as applicable, of each such Class of Certificates and Lower-Tier Regular Interest, together with amounts required to be distributed on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement (or, if the Regular Certificates and the Grantor Trust Certificates (exclusive of the Class S Certificates) are no longer outstanding, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates) and (ii) to the Holders of the

-430-

Grantor Trust Certificates, of any amount remaining in the Collection Account, the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and/or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, as applicable, in any case, following the later to occur of (a) the receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund or (b) the liquidation or disposition pursuant to Section 3.17 of this Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund.

(e)        Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be mailed by the Certificate Administrator to affected Certificateholders at their addresses shown in the Certificate Register (with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider) as soon as practicable after the Certificate Administrator shall have received, given or been deemed to have received a Notice of Termination but in any event not more than thirty days, and not less than ten days, prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. The notice mailed by the Certificate Administrator to affected Certificateholders shall:

(i)         specify the Anticipated Termination Date on which the final distribution is anticipated to be made to Holders of Certificates of the Classes specified therein;

(ii)        specify the amount of any such final distribution, if known; and

(iii)       state that the final distribution to Certificateholders will be made only upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified.

If the Trust Fund is not terminated on any Anticipated Termination Date for any reason, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly mail notice thereof to each affected Certificateholder.

(f)         Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.

-431-

(g)       For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Remaining Certificateholder shall have the first option to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to subsection (h), and then the Holders of the Controlling Class representing more than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class, and then the Special Servicer, and then the Master Servicer, and then the Holders of Class R Certificates representing more than 50% of the Percentage Interests in such Class, in each of the last four cases, pursuant to subsection (c).

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

-432-

Balance of its remaining Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates), plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributed in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and such Certificates. The remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or the Trust’s interests therein) are deemed distributed to the Remaining Certificateholder in liquidation of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01.

(a)        The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall (and shall cause (or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) each Additional Servicer and Servicing Function Participant utilized thereby to) reasonably cooperate with the Depositor and each Other Depositor in connection with the satisfaction of the Trust’s and each Other Securitization Trust’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Section 10.04, Section 10.05 and Section 10.07, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare for execution by the Depositor any Forms 10-D, ABS-EE, 10-K and 8-K required by the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust, in order to permit the timely filing thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall file (via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such Forms executed by the Depositor.

(b)        In the event that the Certificate Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission or deliver to any Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party as to which the applicable Companion Loan is affected, all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D, ABS-EE or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after determination (but if the next calendar day is not a Business Day, then in no event later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the next Business Day), notify the Depositor, such Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party thereof. In the case of Forms 10-D, ABS-EE and 10-K, the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator will thereupon cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A, Form ABS-EE/A or Form 10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Certificate Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information, include such disclosure information on the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed for the Trust. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will notify the Depositor thereof, and such other parties as needed and the parties hereto will cooperate with the Certificate Administrator to prepare any necessary

Form 8-K/A or Form 10-K/A. In the event that any previously filed Form 10-D or Form ABS-EE needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Depositor thereof, and such other parties as needed, and the parties hereto shall cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 10-D/A or Form ABS-EE/A. Any Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE/A or Form 10-K shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor.

The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, arrange for execution and/or timely file any such Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Section 10.04     Form 10-D and Form ABS-EE Filings.

(a)        Within 15 calendar days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the Certificate Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 10-D and Form ABS-EE then required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as then required by the Exchange Act; provided that, in connection with the filing of the Prospectus and the preliminary prospectus with respect to the Public Certificates, the Depositor shall file any related Form ABS-EE required to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference into each such document. The Certificate Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related Distribution Date Statement attached thereto; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall redact from such Distribution Date Statement any information relating to the ratings of the Certificates and the identity of the Rating Agencies. Any disclosure in addition to the Distribution Date Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D and/or Form ABS-EE (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall, pursuant to the following paragraph, be (i) reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit U to this Agreement to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and each Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party to which such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure is relevant for Exchange Act reporting purposes and (ii) approved by the Depositor and each such Other Depositor, and the Certificate Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure absent such reporting, direction and approval.

For so long as the Trust or any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, within one (1) Business Day after the related Distribution Date (using commercially reasonable efforts), but in no event later than noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day after the related Distribution Date, (i) certain parties to this Agreement, as set forth on Exhibit U to this Agreement, shall be required to provide to the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, and each Other Exchange Act Reporting Party and Other Depositor to which the particular Additional Form 10-D Disclosure is relevant for Exchange Act reporting purposes, to the extent a Servicing Officer or Responsible Officer thereof has knowledge thereof (other than information required by Item 1117 of Regulation AB as to such party which shall be

-437-

reported if actually known by any Servicing Officer or Responsible Officer, as the case may be, or any lawyer in the in-house legal department of such party) in EDGAR-Compatible Format (to the extent available to such party in such format) or (in the case of asset-level information required by Item 1A on Form 10-D) XML Format or in such other format as otherwise agreed upon by the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor and each such Other Exchange Act Reporting Party, each such Other Depositor and such parties, the form and substance of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable, (ii) the parties listed on Exhibit U to this Agreement shall include with such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure applicable to such party and shall cause each Sub-Servicer (or, in the case of each Sub-Servicer set forth on Exhibit S, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Sub-Servicer) and Subcontractor of such party to the extent required under Regulation AB to provide, and if received, include, an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached as Exhibit W-1 to this Agreement (except with respect to the reporting of balances of the Collection Account, each Loan Combination Custodial Account and each REO Account which shall be delivered in the form of Exhibit W-2 hereto, and the Special Servicer shall provide in the form of Exhibit W-2 any information relating to any REO Account to be reported under “Item 9: Other Information” on Exhibit U to the Master Servicer within four (4) calendar days after the related Distribution Date) and (iii) the Depositor shall approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D or (in the case of asset-level information required by Item 1A on Form 10-D) Form ABS-EE with respect to the Trust; provided that any Depositor’s approval pursuant to this clause (iii) shall not relieve any parties listed on Exhibit U of its obligations to provide Additional Form 10-D Disclosure that is true and accurate in all material respects and in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Depositor may terminate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon five (5) Business Days’ notice if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to comply with any of its respective obligations under this Article X and such failure is not remedied within (A) one (1) Business Day in the case of a failure to comply with any obligation under Sections 10.02, 10.04, 10.07 and 10.11 or to otherwise deliver any item relating to a Reportable Event under this Article X, or (B) five (5) Business Days in the case of a failure to comply with any obligation under this Article X that is not described in clause (A) above; provided that such termination shall not be effective until a successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, shall have accepted the appointment.

Section 10.17     Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements. For so long as the Trust or any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, shall (i) cause each Sub-Servicing Agreement (with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or sub-servicing agreement (with respect to any other Servicer) to which it is a party to entitle the Depositor to terminate such agreement (without compensation, termination fee or the consent of any other Person) at any time following any failure of the applicable Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article X and (ii) promptly notify the Depositor following any failure of the applicable Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article X. The Depositor is hereby authorized to exercise the rights described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence in its sole discretion. The rights of the Depositor to terminate a Sub-Servicing Agreement (with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or sub-servicing agreement (with respect to any other Servicer) as aforesaid shall not limit any right Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may have to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement or sub-servicing agreement, as applicable.

Section 10.18     Notification Requirements and Deliveries in Connection With Securitization of a Serviced Companion Loan.

-457-

other items to, and the cooperation with, the Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party of any Other Securitization Trust that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, no party hereunder shall be obligated to provide any such items to or cooperate with such Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party until the Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party of such Other Securitization Trust has provided each party hereto with not less than 30 days written notice (or, in each case, such shorter period as required for such Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party to comply with related filing obligations, provided that (i) such Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party, as applicable, has provided written notice as soon as reasonably practicable and, concurrently with such written notice, obtained verbal confirmation of receipt of such written notice, in each case, in accordance with Section 12.04 of this Agreement and (ii) such period shall not be less than 3 Business Days) (which shall only be required to be delivered once), (i) setting forth the contact information for such Person(s) and, except as regards the deliveries and cooperation contemplated by Section 10.08, Section 10.09 and Section 10.10 of this Agreement, stating that such Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the information and other items not otherwise specified in this Agreement that are requested to be delivered; provided that if Exchange Act reporting is being requested, such Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party is only required to provide a single written notice to such effect; provided further, that this notice requirement does not apply to any Serviced Companion Loan that is included in any Other Securitization as of the Closing Date.

Article XI

ASSET REVIEW PROVISIONS

Section 11.01     Asset Review.

(a)       On or prior to each Distribution Date, based on the CREFC^® Delinquent Loan Status Report and/or the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File delivered by the Master Servicer for such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred during the related Collection Period. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and all Certificateholders. Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Article XI shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator (i) by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) by mailing such notice to the Certificateholders’ addresses appearing in the Certificate Register in the case of Definitive Certificates and by delivering such notice via the Depository in the case of Book-Entry Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall include in the Form 10-D relating to the Collection Period in which the Asset Review Trigger occurred, notice of its determination together with the following statement describing the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur: “As of the [Date of Distribution], the following Mortgage Loans identified below are 60 or more days delinquent and an Asset Review Trigger as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has occurred.” On each Distribution Date occurring after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the Certificate

-460-

Administrator, based on information provided to it by the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall determine whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) whether an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver such information in a written notice (which may be via email) in the form of Exhibit LL within two (2) Business Days of such determination to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer.

If Certificateholders evidencing not less than 5% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates deliver to the Certificate Administrator, within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence an Asset Review (an “Asset Review Vote Election”), then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders and conduct a solicitation of votes in accordance with Section 5.12 regarding whether to authorize an Asset Review. In the event there is an affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review by Holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of an Asset Review Quorum within 150 days of receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof (the “Asset Review Notice”) to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party and the other Certificateholders (such notice to Certificateholders to be effected by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and by mailing such notice to the Certificateholders’ addresses appearing in the Certificate Register in the case of Definitive Certificates and by delivering such notice via the Depository in the case of Book-Entry Certificates). Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request access to the Secure Data Room by providing the Certificate Administrator with a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit KK. Upon receipt of such certification, the Certificate Administrator shall grant the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Secure Data Room. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) a new Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or an Asset Review Trigger is otherwise in effect, (C) the Certificate Administrator has received an Asset Review Vote Election within 90 days after the filing of a Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) in this sentence and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within 150 days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) in this sentence. After the occurrence of any Asset Review Vote Election or an Affirmative Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote will be paid as an expense of the Trust from the Collection Account. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to administer any vote in connection with the foregoing through an agent.

(b)       (i) Upon receipt from the Certificate Administrator of an Asset Review Notice with respect to a Delinquent Mortgage Loan, the Custodian (with respect to clauses (1) –

-461-

(5) below for all of the Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to clause (6) below for Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to clause (6) below for Specially Serviced Loans) shall promptly (but (except with respect to clause (6)) in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice from the Certificate Administrator) provide, in electronic format, the following materials for such Delinquent Loan, in each case to the extent in such party’s possession, to the Asset Representations Reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files posted on the Secure Data Room by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.09, a copy of the Prospectus, a copy of each related Loan Purchase Agreement and a copy of this Agreement, the “Review Materials”):

(1)       a copy of an assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, for each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(2)       a copy of an assignment of any related Assignment of Leases (if such item is a document separate from the Mortgage) in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(3)       a copy of the assignment of all unrecorded documents relating to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, if not already covered pursuant to items (1) or (2) above;

(4)       a copy of all filed copies (bearing evidence of filing) or evidence of filing of any UCC financing statements related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(5)       a copy of an assignment in favor of the Trustee of any financing statement executed and filed in the relevant jurisdiction related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review; and

(6)       any other related documents that are required to be part of the Review Materials and requested to be delivered by the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) to the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to clause (vii) below of this Section 11.01(b).

(ii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller will not be required to deliver any information that is proprietary to the Mortgage Loan Seller or any draft documents, privileged or internal communications, credit underwriting or due diligence analysis.

(iii)      The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider and rely upon information furnished to it by a Person that is not a party to this Agreement or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, and shall do so only if such information can be independently verified (without unreasonable effort or expense to the Asset Representations Reviewer) and is determined by the Asset Representations Reviewer in its

-462-

good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review conducted pursuant to this Section 11.01 (any such information, “Unsolicited Information”).

(iv)       Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence Files posted to the Secure Data Room with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan in accordance with the Asset Review Standard and the procedures set forth on Exhibit JJ (each such procedure, a “Test”). Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review shall be required in respect of, or performed on, such Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or again become a Delinquent Loan at a time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such new Asset Review Trigger.

(v)       No Certificateholder shall have the right to change the scope of the Asset Review, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to review any information other than (1) the Review Materials and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information.

(vi)       The Asset Representations Reviewer may, absent manifest error and subject to the Asset Review Standard, (i) assume, without independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects and (ii) conclusively rely on such Review Materials.

(vii)       In connection with an Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall comply with the following procedures with respect to each Delinquent Loan:

(A)       Within 10 Business Days after the date on which the Review Materials identified in clauses (i) through (v) of the definition of “Review Materials” have been received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to such Delinquent Loan or in any event within 15 days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer reasonably determines that any Review Materials made available or delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer are missing any documents required to complete any Test for such Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing documents, and request that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, promptly (but in no event later than 10 Business Days after receipt of notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer) deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer such missing documents in its possession; provided that any such notification and/or request shall be in writing, specifically

-463-

identifying the documents being requested and sent to the notice address for the related party set forth in Section 12.04 of this Agreement. In the event any missing documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, within such 10-Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller will be required under the related Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver any such missing documents only to the extent such document is in the possession of the Mortgage Loan Seller.

(B)       Following the events in clause (A) above, and within 45 days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare a preliminary report with respect to such Delinquent Loan setting forth (i) the preliminary results of the application of the Tests, (ii) if applicable, whether the Review Materials for such Delinquent Loan are insufficient to complete any Test, (iii) a list of any applicable missing documents together with the reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete any Test, and (iv) (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded) whether the absence of such documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test (collectively, the “Preliminary Asset Review Report”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide each Preliminary Asset Review Report to the Special Servicer, who shall promptly, but in no event later than 10 Business Days of receipt thereof, provide the Preliminary Asset Review Report to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall include the following statement in the related correspondence when providing each Preliminary Asset Review Report to the Special Servicer: “This is a Preliminary Asset Review Report regarding an Asset Review under Section 11.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2017-P7, Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2017-P7, requiring action by you as the recipient of such Preliminary Asset Review Report. You are required to deliver the Preliminary Asset Review Report to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller no later than 10 Business Days after receipt of the Preliminary Asset Review Report”. If the Preliminary Asset Review Report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have 90 days from its receipt of the Preliminary Asset Review Report (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will be required under the related Loan Purchase Agreement to provide to the Special Servicer any documents or any explanations to support (i) a conclusion that a subject representation and warranty has not failed a Test or (ii) a claim that any missing documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test, and the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer any such documents or explanations received from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller given to support a claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or a claim that any missing documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test.

-464-

(C)       Within the later of (x) 60 days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator, and (y) 10 Business Days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit HH, setting forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review, together with a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”), to each party to this Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Controlling Class Representative (if such Delinquent Loan is not an Excluded Mortgage Loan), and (ii) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) , substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator (who shall include such Asset Review Report Summary in the Form 10-D relating to the Collection Period in which such Asset Review Report Summary is received and post such Asset Review Report Summary on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 10.04(e)). The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional 30 days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller(s), if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Delinquent Loan(s) and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any documentation that it requested from the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans), the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in sufficient time to allow the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete its Asset Review and deliver an Asset Review Report, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the documents received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no responsibility to independently obtain any such documents from any party to this or otherwise.

(viii)       Within thirty (30) days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Enforcing Servicer shall determine, based on the Servicing Standard, whether there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Enforcing Servicer determines that a Material Defect exists, the Enforcing Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Material Defect in accordance with Section 2.03(a).

(ix)       In no event may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, which, in each case, shall be the

-465-

responsibility of the Enforcing Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or Section 11.01(b)(viii) of this Agreement.

(c)       The Asset Representations Reviewer and its Affiliates shall keep confidential any Privileged Information received from any party to this Agreement or any Sponsor (including, without limitation, in connection with the review of the Mortgage Loans) and not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement in an Asset Review Report or otherwise, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Asset Representations Reviewer with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. In addition, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall keep all documents and information received by the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with an Asset Review that are provided by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer confidential and shall not disclose such documents except for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder.

(d)       The Asset Representations Reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 11.01; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with any Mortgage Loan Seller, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Asset Representations Reviewer alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Asset Representations Reviewer by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(e)       With respect to any Delinquent Loan that is an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent any documents required by the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete a Test are missing or have not been received from the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such document(s) from the related Outside Servicer (if such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is being serviced by an Outside Servicer) or the related Outside Special Servicer (if such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is being serviced by an Outside Special Servicer), the related Outside Trustee and the related Outside Certificate Administrator

-466-

(and, in each case, such other party as contemplated under the related Outside Servicing Agreement or related Co-Lender Agreement).

Section 11.02     Payment of Asset Representations Asset Review Fee and Expenses; Limitation of Liability.

(a)       As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid as an ongoing fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Ongoing Fee”), payable monthly from amounts received in respect of each Mortgage Loan (including any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), and for any Distribution Date an amount accrued during the related Interest Accrual Period at 0.00024% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Ongoing Fee Rate”) on, in the case of the initial Distribution Date, the Cut-Off Date Balance of such Mortgage Loan and, in the case of any subsequent Distribution Date, the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the Distribution Date in such Interest Accrual Period, and shall be calculated on the same interest accrual basis as the related Mortgage Loan and prorated for any partial periods. The Asset Representations Reviewer Ongoing Fee shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as set forth in Section 3.06(a).

(b)       Upon the completion of an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and receipt by the related Mortgage Loan Seller of a written invoice from the Asset Representations Reviewer, the related Mortgage Loan Seller is required under the related Loan Purchase Agreement to pay to the Asset Representations Reviewer within forty-five (45) days after such written invoice a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”) that is equal to: the sum of: (i) $13,500 multiplied by the number of Delinquent Loans subject to any Asset Review (for purposes of this Section 11.02(b), the “Subject Loans”), plus (ii) $1,500 per Mortgaged Property relating to the Subject Loans in excess of one Mortgaged Property per Subject Loan, plus (iii) $2,000 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Subject Loan subject to a Ground Lease, plus (iv) $1,000 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Subject Loan subject to a franchise agreement, hotel management agreement or hotel license agreement, subject, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iv), to adjustments on the basis of the year-end Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers or, if the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers is no longer calculated, another similar index for the year of the Closing Date and for the year in which the related Asset Review Notice is given. The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, however, that if (1) the related Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or (2) the related Mortgage Loan Seller fails to pay such amount within ninety (90) days following receipt of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s invoice, then such fee shall be paid by the Trust Fund following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Special Servicer of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount; and provided, further, that notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee will remain an obligation of the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and the Special Servicer shall determine whether to pursue (and, if it determines to do so, shall pursue) remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller or its insolvency estate to recover any such amounts to the extent paid by the Trust. If paid by the Trust Fund as described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as set forth in Section 3.06(a).

-467-

(c)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan shall be included in the Purchase Price for any such Delinquent Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review that is repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price received shall be used to reimburse the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust, as the case may be, for such fees pursuant to Section 11.02(b).

(d)       The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement.

Section 11.03     Resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer may resign and be discharged from its obligations hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement and each Rating Agency. In addition, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall at all times be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, and shall resign if it fails to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer (and such failure results in an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event) by giving written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Holder. Upon such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. No resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer will be effective until a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer has been appointed and accepted the appointment. If no successor Asset Representations Reviewer shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall bear all costs and expenses of each party hereto and each Rating Agency in connection with its resignation and the transfer of its duties.

Section 11.04     Restrictions of the Asset Representations Reviewer. Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer if the Asset Representations Reviewer and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Asset Representations Reviewer and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

Section 11.05     Termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer.

(a)       An “Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

-468-

(i)        any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Trustee or to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights; provided, however, that with respect to any such failure which is not curable within such 30-day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer will have an additional cure period of 30 days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure within the initial 30-day period and has provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;

(ii)       any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the Asset Review Standard in any material respect, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date written notice of such failure is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

(iii)      any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days;

(iv)      a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Asset Representations Reviewer, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days;

(v)       the Asset Representations Reviewer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Asset Representations Reviewer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(vi)      the Asset Representations Reviewer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of written notice of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders (and simultaneously deliver such written notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer) in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section 11.01(a), unless the Certificate Administrator has received written notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has been remedied. If an

-469-

Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer is required to bear all reasonable costs and expenses of itself and of each other party to this Agreement in connection with its termination due to an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor and each Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event of which it becomes aware.

(b)       Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Asset Representations Reviewer with a proposed successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice of such requested vote to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and (ii) mailing such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Asset Representations Reviewer. Upon the affirmative vote of the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights allocable to the Certificates of those Holders that exercise their right to vote (provided that Holders representing the applicable Certificateholder Quorum exercise their right to vote within 180 days of the initial request for a vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is the date on which the aforementioned notice was mailed to the Certificateholders)), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination) by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer and appoint the proposed successor. As between the Asset Representations Reviewer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer. In the event that Holders of the Certificates entitled to at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum elect to remove the Asset Representations Reviewer without cause and appoint a successor, the successor asset representations reviewer shall be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

(c)       On or after the receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of written notice of termination, subject to this Section 11.05, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Asset Representations Reviewer shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all

-470-

other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after (1) the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns pursuant to Section 11.03 of this Agreement or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor (in the case of a resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 11.03) or the Trustee (in the case of a termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 11.05(b)), as applicable, shall appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of an Asset Representations Reviewer to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder and each Certificateholder within one Business Day of such appointment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor asset representations reviewer within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor shall be permitted, but not obligated, to find a replacement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to identify and appoint a successor asset representations reviewer so long as the Trustee uses commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a search for a successor asset representations reviewer and such failure is not a result of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall at all times be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. If the Asset Representations Reviewer ceases to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall immediately notify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Holder of such disqualification and, if an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event occurs as a result, immediately resign under Section 11.03 of this Agreement, and a successor asset representations reviewer shall be appointed in accordance with Section 11.03.

(d)       Upon any termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer and appointment of a successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Depositor, each Rating Agency and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination).

It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates of any Class shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Certificates of such Class.

(j)        With respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, each of the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall provide to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, promptly upon receipt from an Outside Service Provider, all reports, statements, documents, notices and other information it receives in respect of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan that would otherwise have been

-487-

required to be submitted to the 17g-5 Information Provider under this Agreement for posting had such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan been a Serviced Mortgage Loan. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website all such information it receives in accordance with this Agreement.

(k)       The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may, but shall not be obligated to, provide information to the 17g-5 Information Provider that is neither specifically required hereunder nor requested by any Rating Agency.

(l)        If any of the parties to this Agreement receives a Form ABS Due Diligence-15E from any Person in connection with any third-party “due diligence services” (as defined in Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act) provided by such Person with respect to the Mortgage Loans (“Due Diligence Service Provider”), such receiving party shall promptly forward such Form ABS Due Diligence-15E to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 12.13(h). The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website any Form ABS Due Diligence-15E it receives directly from a Due Diligence Service Provider or from another party to this Agreement, in accordance with the timeframe provided in Section 12.13(h).

(m)      Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to make any determination as to whether any service provided by a third party requires obtaining a Form ABS Due Diligence-15E.

Section 12.14     Cooperation with the Mortgage Loan Sellers with Respect to Rights Under the Loan Agreements.     

It is expressly agreed and understood that, notwithstanding the assignment of the Loan Documents, it is expressly intended that the Mortgage Loan Sellers are entitled to the benefit of any securitization indemnification provisions that specifically run to the benefit of the lenders in the Loan Documents. Therefore, the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Trustee hereby agree to reasonably cooperate with any Mortgage Loan Seller, at the sole expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, with respect to obtaining the benefits of the provisions of any section of a Loan Agreement or securitization cooperation agreement providing for indemnification of the lender and/or its loan seller affiliates with respect to the current securitization of the related Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, reassignment to the related Mortgage Loan Seller of such sections, but no other portion, of the Loan Documents, to permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller to enforce such provisions for its benefit; provided, that none of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee shall be required to take any action that is inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, would violate applicable law, the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, would adversely affect any Certificateholder, would cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, or would result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions. To the extent that the Trustee is required to execute any document facilitating an assignment under this Section 12.14, such document shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class A-1 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-1-2

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;

A-1-3

(ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

(i) to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates;

(ii) to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with the description thereof in the Prospectus or to correct any error;

(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Distribution Account or any REO Account, provided that (A) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (B) the change would not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment);

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund,

A-1-4

provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class A-2 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-2-2

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;

A-2-3

(ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund,

A-2-4

provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

A-2-5

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

No.: [1]

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-3 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class A-3 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 A-3-2

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-3 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-3 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;

 A-3-3

(ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

(i) to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates;

(ii) to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with the description thereof in the Prospectus or to correct any error;

(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Distribution Account or any REO Account, provided that (A) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (B) the change would not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment);

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund,

 A-3-4

provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 A-3-5

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

(iv) change the definition of “Servicing Standard” without either (A) consent of 100% of the holders of the Certificates or (B) Rating Agency Confirmation,

(vi) adversely affect the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of 100% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders,

(vii) adversely affect a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent, or

(viii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser.

The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if none of such Holders, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer does, any Holders of Class R Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the parties (or, if applicable, the other parties) to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holders) any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and in the case of the Serviced Loan Combinations, subject to certain rights of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Co-Lender Agreement) then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired by or on behalf of the Trust Fund (including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan in respect of any Mortgage Loan then included in the Trust Fund, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to (i) the sum of (A) the Termination Purchase Amount and (B) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer (unless the Master Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer (unless the Special Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, with respect to such termination, minus (ii) solely in the case where the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is effecting such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, if any, made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of such Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Fees, as applicable, remaining outstanding (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with such purchase).

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by

 A-3-6

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class A-4 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 A-4-2

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;

 A-4-3

(ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 A-4-4

provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 A-4-5

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-AB Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder.

If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held.

The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-A Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;

A-6-3

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-B Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class X-B Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

³ The initial approximate Pass-Through Rate as of the Closing Date is 0.531% per annum.

A-7-2

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-B Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;

A-7-3

(ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

(ii) to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with the description thereof in the Prospectus or to correct any error;

(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Distribution Account or any REO Account, provided that (A) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (B) the change would not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment);

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund,

A-7-4

provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent.

No.: [1]

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-C Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class X-C Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-8-2

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-C Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;

A-8-3

(ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

(i) to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates;

(ii) to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with the description thereof in the Prospectus or to correct any error;

(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Distribution Account or any REO Account, provided that (A) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (B) the change would not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment);

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund,

A-8-4

provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

A-8-5

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

(iv) change the definition of “Servicing Standard” without either (A) consent of 100% of the holders of the Certificates or (B) Rating Agency Confirmation,

(vi) adversely affect the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of 100% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders,

(vii) adversely affect a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent, or

(viii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser.

The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if none of such Holders, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer does, any Holders of Class R Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the parties (or, if applicable, the other parties) to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holders) any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and in the case of the Serviced Loan Combinations, subject to certain rights of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Co-Lender Agreement) then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired by or on behalf of the Trust Fund (including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) in respect of any Mortgage Loan then included in the Trust Fund, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to (i) the sum of (A) the Termination Purchase Amount and (B) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer (unless the Master Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer (unless the Special Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, with respect to such termination, minus (ii) solely in the case where the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is effecting such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, if any, made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of such Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Fees, as applicable, remaining outstanding (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with such purchase).

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by

A-8-6

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-S Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class A-S Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-9-2

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-S Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-S Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;

A-9-3

A-9-4

provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

A-9-5

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder.

If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held.

The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class C Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-11-2

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class C Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;

A-11-3

Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

A-11-5

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

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by

V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class X-D Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-D Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of

A-12-4

maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent.

A-12-6

Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class D Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class D Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps

A-13-4

to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class E Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class E Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been

A-14-4

surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any

A-14-6

Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

(iv) change the definition of “Servicing Standard” without either (A) consent of 100% of the holders of the Certificates or (B) Rating Agency Confirmation,

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notify the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder) of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Anticipated Termination Date.

under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class F Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class F Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been

A-15-4

surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class G Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class G Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been

A-16-4

surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any

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

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of an interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class R Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class R Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents the “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-17-3

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the aggregate amount, if any, with respect to the Class R Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the

A-17-4

Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

(i) to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates;

(ii) to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with the description thereof in the Prospectus or to correct any error;

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such

A-17-5

amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

A-17-6

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if none of such Holders, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer does, any Holders of Class R Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the parties (or, if applicable, the other parties) to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holders) any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and in the case of the Serviced Loan Combinations, subject to certain rights of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Co-Lender Agreement) then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired by or on behalf of the Trust Fund (including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) in respect of any Mortgage Loan then included in the Trust Fund, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to (i) the sum of (A) the Termination Purchase Amount and (B) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer (unless the Master Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer (unless the Special Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, with respect to such termination, minus (ii) solely in the case where the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is effecting such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, if any, made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of such Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Fees, as applicable, remaining outstanding (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with such purchase).

Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, Excess Interest actually collected in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to

A-18-3

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

A-18-4

action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

A-18-5

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

(iv) change the definition of “Servicing Standard” without either (A) consent of 100% of the holders of the Certificates or (B) Rating Agency Confirmation,

(vi) adversely affect the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of 100% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders,

(vii) adversely affect a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent, or

(viii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser.

The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if none of such Holders, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer does, any Holders of Class R Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the parties (or, if applicable, the other parties) to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holders) any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and in the case of the Serviced Loan Combinations, subject to certain rights of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Co-Lender Agreement) then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired by or on behalf of the Trust Fund (including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) in respect of any Mortgage Loan then included in the Trust Fund, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to (i) the sum of (A) the Termination Purchase Amount and (B) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer (unless the Master Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer (unless the Special Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, with respect to such termination, minus (ii) solely in the case where the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is effecting such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, if any, made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of such Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Fees, as applicable, remaining outstanding (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with such purchase).

A-18-6

This certifies that [        ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class V-1 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class V-1 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in certain assets of a grantor trust consisting primarily of (i) a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distributions thereon, and (ii) any Excess Interest collected on the ARD Mortgage Loans and amounts held from time to time in the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class V-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

A-19-4

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class V-2A Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in certain assets of a grantor trust consisting primarily of (i) a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distributions thereon, and (ii) any Excess Interest collected on the ARD Mortgage Loans and amounts held from time to time in the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class V-2A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the

A-20-4

Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-20-6

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notify the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder) of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder.

below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class V-2B Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in certain assets of a grantor trust consisting primarily of (i) a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distributions thereon, and (ii) any Excess Interest collected on the ARD Mortgage Loans and amounts held from time to time in the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class V-2B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the

 A-21-4

Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 A-21-6

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

(iv) change the definition of “Servicing Standard” without either (A) consent of 100% of the holders of the Certificates or (B) Rating Agency Confirmation,

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notify the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder) of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder.

below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class V-2C Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in certain assets of a grantor trust consisting primarily of (i) a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distributions thereon, and (ii) any Excess Interest collected on the ARD Mortgage Loans and amounts held from time to time in the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class V-2C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the

 A-22-4

Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

In no event shall Certificates representing a Percentage Interest in any Class of Class V-2 Certificates be transferred to any Person (and the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register any such transfer) unless Certificates representing the exact same Percentage Interest in each and every other outstanding Class of Class V-2 Certificates are simultaneously transferred to the same Person. Any Holder of Class V-2 Certificates shall at all times hold the same Percentage Interest in each and every outstanding Class thereof.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes

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

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notify the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder) of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder.

This certifies that [         ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class V-2D Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class V-2D Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in certain assets of a grantor trust consisting primarily of (i) a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distributions thereon, and (ii) any Excess Interest collected on the ARD Mortgage Loans and amounts held from time to time in the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class V-2D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

 A-23-4

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

In no event shall Certificates representing a Percentage Interest in any Class of Class V-2 Certificates be transferred to any Person (and the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register any such transfer) unless Certificates representing the exact same Percentage Interest in each and every other outstanding Class of Class V-2 Certificates are simultaneously transferred to the same Person. Any Holder of Class V-2 Certificates shall at all times hold the same Percentage Interest in each and every outstanding Class thereof.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of

 A-23-5

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

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notify the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder) of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder.

This certifies that [         ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class V-2E Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class V-2E Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in certain assets of a grantor trust consisting primarily of (i) a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distributions thereon, and (ii) any Excess Interest collected on the ARD Mortgage Loans and amounts held from time to time in the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class V-2E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

 A-24-4

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

In no event shall Certificates representing a Percentage Interest in any Class of Class V-2 Certificates be transferred to any Person (and the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register any such transfer) unless Certificates representing the exact same Percentage Interest in each and every other outstanding Class of Class V-2 Certificates are simultaneously transferred to the same Person. Any Holder of Class V-2 Certificates shall at all times hold the same Percentage Interest in each and every outstanding Class thereof.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of

 A-24-5

them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

(i) to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates;

(ii) to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with the description thereof in the Prospectus or to correct any error;

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

 A-24-6

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notify the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder) of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder.

This certifies that [         ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class V-3AB Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3C, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class V-3AB Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in certain assets of a grantor trust consisting primarily of (i) a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distributions thereon, and (ii) any Excess Interest collected on the ARD Mortgage Loans and amounts held from time to time in the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class V-3AB Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

 A-25-4

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

In no event shall Certificates representing a Percentage Interest in any Class of Class V-3 Certificates be transferred to any Person (and the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register any such transfer) unless Certificates representing the exact same Percentage Interest in each and every other outstanding Class of Class V-3 Certificates are simultaneously transferred to the same Person. Any Holder of Class V-3 Certificates shall at all times hold the same Percentage Interest in each and every outstanding Class thereof.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of

 A-25-5

them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

 A-25-6

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

This certifies that [        ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class V-3C Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3D and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class V-3C Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in certain assets of a grantor trust consisting primarily of (i) a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distributions thereon, and (ii) any Excess Interest collected on the ARD Mortgage Loans and amounts held from time to time in the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class V-3C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

A-26-4

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

In no event shall Certificates representing a Percentage Interest in any Class of Class V-3 Certificates be transferred to any Person (and the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register any such transfer) unless Certificates representing the exact same Percentage Interest in each and every other outstanding Class of Class V-3 Certificates are simultaneously transferred to the same Person. Any Holder of Class V-3 Certificates shall at all times hold the same Percentage Interest in each and every outstanding Class thereof.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of

A-26-5

them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

(i) to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates;

(ii) to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with the description thereof in the Prospectus or to correct any error;

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

A-26-6

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

This certifies that [         ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class V-3D Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C and Class V-3E Certificates (together with the Class V-3D Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in certain assets of a grantor trust consisting primarily of (i) a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distributions thereon, and (ii) any Excess Interest collected on the ARD Mortgage Loans and amounts held from time to time in the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class V-3D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

A-27-4

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

In no event shall Certificates representing a Percentage Interest in any Class of Class V-3 Certificates be transferred to any Person (and the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register any such transfer) unless Certificates representing the exact same Percentage Interest in each and every other outstanding Class of Class V-3 Certificates are simultaneously transferred to the same Person. Any Holder of Class V-3 Certificates shall at all times hold the same Percentage Interest in each and every outstanding Class thereof.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of

A-27-5

them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

(i) to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates;

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

A-27-6

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

(iv) change the definition of “Servicing Standard” without either (A) consent of 100% of the holders of the Certificates or (B) Rating Agency Confirmation,

The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if none of such Holders, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer does, any Holders of Class R Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the parties (or, if applicable, the other parties) to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holders) any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and in the case of the Serviced Loan Combinations, subject to certain rights of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Co-Lender Agreement) then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired by or on behalf of the Trust Fund (including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) in respect of any Mortgage Loan then included in the Trust Fund, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to (i) the sum of (A) the Termination Purchase Amount and (B) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer (unless the Master Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer (unless the Special Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, with respect to such termination, minus (ii) solely in the case where the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is effecting such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, if any, made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of such Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Fees, as applicable, remaining outstanding (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with such purchase).

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notify the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder) of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Anticipated Termination Date.

This certifies that [       ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class V-3E Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R, Class S, Class V-1, Class V-2A, Class V-2B, Class V-2C, Class V-2D, Class V-2E, Class V-3AB, Class V-3C and Class V-3D Certificates (together with the Class V-3E Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in certain assets of a grantor trust consisting primarily of (i) a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distributions thereon, and (ii) any Excess Interest collected on the ARD Mortgage Loans and amounts held from time to time in the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in May 2017 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class V-3E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

A-28-4

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

In no event shall Certificates representing a Percentage Interest in any Class of Class V-3 Certificates be transferred to any Person (and the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register any such transfer) unless Certificates representing the exact same Percentage Interest in each and every other outstanding Class of Class V-3 Certificates are simultaneously transferred to the same Person. Any Holder of Class V-3 Certificates shall at all times hold the same Percentage Interest in each and every outstanding Class thereof.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of

A-28-5

them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

(i) to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates;

(ii) to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with the description thereof in the Prospectus or to correct any error;

(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Distribution Account or any REO Account, provided that (A) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (B) the change would not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment);

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, Regulation RR and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations or (D) in the event that Regulation RR (or any portion thereof) or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate any risk retention requirements no longer applicable to this securitization transaction in light of such repeal;

(v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

A-28-6

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided, further that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would: (A) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (B) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (C) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (D) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (E) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

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

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

(iv) change the definition of “Servicing Standard” without either (A) consent of 100% of the holders of the Certificates or (B) Rating Agency Confirmation,

(vi) adversely affect the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of 100% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders,

(vii) adversely affect a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent, or

A-28-7

The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if none of such Holders, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer does, any Holders of Class R Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the parties (or, if applicable, the other parties) to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holders) any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and in the case of the Serviced Loan Combinations, subject to certain rights of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Co-Lender Agreement) then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired by or on behalf of the Trust Fund (including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) in respect of any Mortgage Loan then included in the Trust Fund, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to (i) the sum of (A) the Termination Purchase Amount and (B) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer (unless the Master Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer (unless the Special Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, with respect to such termination, minus (ii) solely in the case where the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is effecting such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, if any, made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of such Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Fees, as applicable, remaining outstanding (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with such purchase).

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notify the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder) of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Anticipated Termination Date.

STATE OF	)
	)	ss.:
COUNTY OF	)

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

I, [______], under penalties of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete, and being first sworn, depose and say that:

1.       I am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

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

3.       The Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or

L-1-1

nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i) the United States, a State or any political subdivision of a State, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality that is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by any such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization that is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Code Section 511 on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Code Section 860E(c)(1)) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Code Section 521), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Code Section 1381(a)(2) or (v) any other Person so designated by the Certificate Registrar based upon an opinion of counsel to the effect that any transfer to such Person may cause either Trust REMIC to be subject to tax or to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding. The terms “United States”, “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code.

4.       The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.

5.       The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee. For the purpose hereof, a “Permitted Transferee” is any Person or agent of such Person other than (a) a Disqualified Organization, (b) any other Person so designated by the Certificate Registrar who is unable to provide an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of such Person or the Person requesting the transfer) to the effect that the transfer of an ownership interest in any Class R Certificate to such Person will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, (c) a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person, (d) an entity treated as a U.S. partnership if any of its partners, directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation) is (or is permitted to be under the partnership agreement) a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person or (e) a U.S. Tax Person with respect to which income from a Class R Certificate is attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person.

6.       No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

7.       The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other U.S. Tax Person.

8.       Check the applicable paragraph:

☐      The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

L-1-2

(i)      the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;

(ii)     the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and

(iii)    the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.

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

All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:

(1)       No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

(2)       The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit L-1. The Transferor has no actual knowledge that the Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee (as defined in such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement) and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the Transferee’s representations in clause (9) of such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement are false.

(3)       The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in

the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

Re: Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2017-P7, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-P7, Class [__] (the “Class [__] Certificates”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, on behalf of the holders of Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2017-P7, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-P7 (the “Certificates”), in connection with the transfer by [ ] (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of $______ aggregate [Certificate Principal Amount] [Notional Amount] of Class [ ] Certificates [representing a ___% Percentage Interest in the related Class], in certificated fully registered form (such registered interest, the

L-4-1

“Transferred Certificate”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

In connection with such transfer, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants to you as follows:

1.       The Purchaser is an “institutional accredited investor” (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) (i.e. an entity meeting, or in which all of the equity owners meet, the requirements of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Transferred Certificate, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which the Purchaser is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Transferred Certificate for its own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor) as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. [FOR TRANSFERS OF CLASS R CERTIFICATES OR TRANSFERS TO A TRANSFEREE THAT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER”, : Furthermore, the Purchaser and any such account are each a “qualified institutional buyer” (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act), and has completed one of the forms of certification to that effect attached hereto as Annex 1 and Annex 2.] The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

2.       The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Transferred Certificate (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for resale to (i) “qualified institutional buyers” in transactions complying with Rule 144A[,FOR TRANSFERS OF ANY CERTIFICATES OTHER THAN CLASS R: or (ii) Institutional Accredited Investors under the Securities Act, pursuant to any other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in the case of this clause (ii) to (A) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (B) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (C) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws (including applicable state and foreign securities laws), and (D) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer.] It understands that the Transferred Certificate (and any subsequent Non-Book Entry Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to resell to only certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.

3.       The Purchaser acknowledges that the Transferred Certificate (and any Certificate issued on transfer or exchange thereof) has not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or any other jurisdiction, and that the Transferred Certificate cannot be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless it is

L-4-2

registered or qualified thereunder or unless an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.

4.       The Purchaser has reviewed the applicable Offering Circular dated March 31, 2017, relating to the Private Certificates (the “Offering Circular”) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Offering Circular.

5.       The Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as an owner of a Non-Book Entry Certificate or Certificates, as the case may be (each, a “Certificateholder”), in all respects as if it were a signatory thereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.

6.       The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Transferred Certificate, except in compliance with Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

7.       Check one of the following:

☐      The Purchaser is a “U.S. Tax Person” and it has attached hereto an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or successor form).

☐      The Purchaser is not a “U.S. Tax Person” and under applicable law in effect on the date hereof, no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Certificate Administrator (or its agent) with respect to Distributions to be made on the Transferred Certificate(s). The Purchaser has attached hereto (i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8 BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form), which identifies such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Transferred Certificate(s) and states that such Purchaser is not a U.S. Person, (ii) two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (and all appropriate attachment) or (iii) two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Transferred Certificate(s) and state that interest and original issue discount on the Transferred Certificate(s) is, or is expected to be, effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Certificate Administrator an updated IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8 BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY or IRS Form W-8ECI, as the case may be, any applicable successor IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate Administrator may reasonably request, on or before the date that any such IRS form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished by it to the Certificate Administrator.

For the purposes of this paragraph 7, “U.S. Tax Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership (except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations), or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, including any entity treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes, an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such U.S. Tax Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust (or, to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 that have elected to be treated as U.S. Tax Persons).

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

2.       The Transferee understands that (a) the Excess Servicing Fee Right has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities laws, (b) none of the Depositor, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar is obligated so to register or qualify the Excess Servicing Fee Right, and (c) the Excess Servicing Fee Right may not be resold or transferred unless it is (i) registered pursuant to the Securities Act and registered or qualified pursuant to any applicable state securities laws or (ii) sold or transferred in transactions which are exempt from such registration and qualification and (A) the Depositor has received a certificate from the prospective transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit CC-1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (B) each of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and the Depositor has received a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit CC-2 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any Person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security.

5.       The Transferee has been furnished with all information regarding (a) the Depositor, (b) the Excess Servicing Fee Right and any payments thereon, (c) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created pursuant thereto, (d) the nature, performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans, and (e) all related matters that it has requested.

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

Date: ____________, 20___ 

Re: Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2017-P7, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-P7 Mortgage Loan (the “Subject Mortgage Loan”) heretofore secured by real property known as ____________ [Include the following, with appropriate modification, if there is pari passu or AB debt: as evidenced by that certain Promissory Note [A-[_]][A] in the amount of $____________, which Promissory Note [A-[_]][A] is owned by the Trust, and Promissory Note [___] in the amount of $_____________, which Promissory Note [___] is owned by ________________.]

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

THE STATEMENTS SET FORTH BELOW ARE MADE (A) TO THE BEST KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNDERSIGNED BASED UPON DUE DILIGENCE CONSISTENT WITH THE SERVICING STANDARD SPECIFIED IN THE POOLING

 DD-1

AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (THE “SERVICING STANDARD”), AND (B) WITHOUT INTENDING TO WARRANT THE ACCURACY THEREOF OR UNDERTAKE ANY DUTY OR STANDARD OF CARE GREATER THAN THE DUTIES OF SERVICER UNDER THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT AND THE SERVICING STANDARD.

We hereby notify you and confirm that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions, if any, set forth on Exhibit A hereto, which exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, will have no material adverse effect on the Subject Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:

1.       The Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Subject Mortgage Loan of the type checked below:**

____ a full defeasance of the entire outstanding principal balance ($____________) of the Subject Mortgage Loan; or

____ a partial defeasance of a portion ($____________) of the Subject Mortgage Loan that represents ___% of the entire principal balance of the Subject Mortgage Loan ($____________).

2.       The defeasance was consummated on ____________, 20__.

3.       The defeasance was completed in all material respects in accordance with the conditions for defeasance specified in the Loan Documents and in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

[Include the following if there is pari passu or AB debt:

4.       In accordance with the Loan Documents, the defeasance occurred such that:

____ Promissory Notes [A-[__]][A] and [___] were defeased simultaneously in their entirety; or

____ Promissory Note [___] was paid off in full.]

5.       To the knowledge of the Master Servicer any other debt related to the Subject Mortgage Loan (including mezzanine debt, senior secured debt, pari passu debt or subordinate secured debt was either paid off in full or defeased. Such debt consists of the following: [Describe debt and holder of the debt and if it was paid off or defeased].

6.       The defeasance collateral consists only of one or more of the following: (i) direct debt obligations of the U.S. Treasury, (ii) direct debt obligations of the Federal National Mortgage Association, (iii) direct debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, (iv) interest-only direct debt obligations of the Resolution Funding Corporation, (v) consolidated debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank or (vi) securities covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (the “FDIC”) Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program

 DD-2

(“TLGP”). Based upon a written report from an independent certified accountant, such defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity cannot vary or change, (ii) provide for interest at a fixed rate and (iii) are not callable prior to their respective maturity dates. In addition, if the defeasance collateral contains any TLGP securities, then:

● Such securities are eligible under TLGP;

● The master servicer (and the trustee, if it serves as the back-up advancing agent for the transaction) has waived its right to (i) collect interest on advances made on behalf of the borrower holding TLGP securities, and (ii) collect for expenses incurred in making demand on the FDIC;

● If the TLGP debt is to be used to satisfy a balloon payment, a reserve conforming to the criteria for eligible accounts was funded with a minimum of 90 days interest on the defeasance collateral to cover potential delays in receipt of the balloon payment;

● The TLGP securities mature before June 30, 2012; and

● The master servicer’s error and omissions insurance policy covers losses to the CMBS trust caused by the master servicer’s failure to make timely demand on the FDIC’s guarantee.

7.       After the defeasance, the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) that: (i) is the original Mortgagor, (ii) is a Single-Purpose Entity (as described in S&P’s criteria), (iii) is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organizational documents of the original Mortgagor with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose, (iv) has been designated as the Defeasance Obligor by the originator of the Subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, or (v) has previously received confirmation from Standard & Poor’s that the organizational documents of such Defeasance Obligor conform with applicable Standard & Poor’s criteria. The Defeasance Obligor owns no assets other than defeasance collateral and (only in the case of the original Mortgagor) real property securing one or more Mortgage Loans included in the pool under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pool”).

8.       If such Defeasance Obligor (together with its affiliates) holds more than one defeased loan, it does not (together with its affiliates) hold defeased loans aggregating more than $35 Million or more than five percent (5%) of the aggregate certificate balance of the Certificates, as of the date of the most recent Certificate Administrator’s Distribution Date Statement received by the Master Servicer (the “Current Report”), except to the extent the Defeasance Obligor is of the type specified in paragraph 7(v) above or the original Loan Documents do not limit the amount of defeased loans that it may hold.

9.       The defeasance documents require that the defeasance collateral be credited to an eligible account (as defined in S&P’s criteria) that must be maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary that is at all times an Eligible Institution (as

 DD-3

defined in S&P’s criteria). The securities intermediary may reinvest proceeds of the defeasance collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the documents evidencing defeasance).

10.     The securities intermediary is obligated to pay from the proceeds of the defeasance collateral, directly to the Master Servicer’s collection account, all scheduled payments on the Subject Mortgage Loan or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased including any defeasance premiums set forth in the loan documents (the “Scheduled Payments”).

11.     The Master Servicer received written confirmation from an independent certified public accountant stating that (i) revenues from the defeasance collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of the Monthly Payments including the payment in full of the Subject Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) except as otherwise disclosed in the written report from an independent certified public accountant, [and disclosed below,] the revenues received in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Monthly Payments within four (4) months after the date of receipt, (iii) the defeasance collateral is not callable prior to their respective maturity dates, and (iv) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any tax year will not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Subject Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial defeasance) for such year, other than in the year in which the Maturity Date or Anticipated Repayment Date will occur, when interest income will exceed interest expense.

12.     The Master Servicer received opinions of counsel that, subject to customary qualifications, (i) the defeasance will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for purpose of the Code, (ii) the agreements executed by the Mortgagor and the Defeasance Obligor in connection with the defeasance are enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, [and] (iii) the Trustee will have a perfected, first priority security interest in the defeasance collateral.

13.     The agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) prohibit subordinate liens against the defeasance collateral, (ii) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor, (iii) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment to the Defeasance Obligor only after the Subject Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, (iv) include representations and/or covenants of the Mortgagor and/or securities intermediary substantially as set forth on Exhibit B hereto, (v) provide for survival of such representations; and (vi) do not permit waiver of such representations and covenants.

14.     At the time of the defeasance of the Subject Mortgage Loan, the Subject Mortgage Loan is (x) not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance, (y) a Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (z) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans.

 DD-4

15.     Copies of all material agreements, instruments, organizational documents, opinions of counsel, accountant’s report and other items delivered in connection with the defeasance will be provided to you upon request.

16.     The individual executing this notice is an authorized officer or a servicing officer of the Master Servicer.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Master Servicer has caused this notice to be executed as of the date captioned above.

ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES

Subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Exhibit sets forth Asset Representations Reviewer’s review procedures for Asset Review of each Delinquent Loan. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Exhibit JJ and the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall control and govern the Asset Representations Reviewer’s responsibilities and duties with respect to Asset Reviews.

Call for Review and Collection and Inventory of Review Materials

Step 1 Asset Representations Reviewer (“ARR”) receives the following items before beginning its review:

■ Notice of Asset Review Trigger (with attachments)

■ Notice of Asset Review Vote Election

■ Asset Review Notice

■ List of all Delinquent Loans

■ Review Materials for each Delinquent Loan via Secure Data Room access, including, among other documents, the Diligence File

■ Any Unsolicited Information (if applicable)

Step 2 For each Delinquent Loan, ARR inventories all Review Materials to which ARR is provided access in the Secure Data Room to determine what, if any, Review Materials for such Delinquent Loan are missing, using the list of documents in the definition of “Mortgage File” of this Agreement, any comparable lists included in the related Loan Purchase Agreement, and any closing checklist from the origination of such Delinquent Loan, to guide its review and determination

JJ-1

Step 3 If ARR determines that the Review Material made available or delivered to it in the Secure Data Room with respect to any Delinquent Loan is missing any documents required to complete an Asset Review of such Delinquent Loan, ARR shall prepare list of such missing documents and notify the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) of such missing documents. If any missing documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the ARR shall request such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

Analysis and Testing of Representations and Warranties

Step 4 For each Delinquent Loan for which ARR has received all Review Materials required to complete an Asset Review of such Delinquent Loan, ARR tests such Delinquent Loan for compliance with each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan as follows:

■ ARR reviews each representation and warranty and each item included in the Review Materials applicable or related to such representation or warranty to determine whether there is any evidence that such representation or warranty was not true when made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller

■ For each representation and warranty, ARR lists

● all items from the Review Materials reviewed or used in its testing of such representation and warranty

● whether ARR has determined that there is any evidence that such representation or warranty was not true when made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and

○ if so, stating the aspect of the applicable representation or warranty that does not appear to have been true when made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and ARR’s basis for its conclusion

○ completing the Asset Review Report by setting forth, for each Delinquent Loan, the information contemplated herein with respect to each representation and warranty

ARR will not attempt (and has no obligation) to determine the materiality of any potential breach of a representation or warranty that it discovers evidence of during its review as contemplated herein

This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated and effective as of April 1, 2017, among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

The Depositor intends to sell commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes (each, a “Class”), which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust to be created hereunder, the primary assets of which will be a pool of commercial mortgage loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause an election to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust (exclusive of the Excess Interest and the proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account) for federal income tax purposes as two (2) separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, and each a “Trust REMIC” as described herein).

In addition, the parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class V Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the RR Interest Specific Grantor Trust Assets shall be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes (the “Grantor Trust”). Solely for tax purposes, the Class V Certificates and the RR Interest shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the Class V Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the RR Interest Specific Grantor Trust Assets, respectively. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust maintains its status as a grantor trust under federal income tax law and not be treated as part of either Trust REMIC.

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates to the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers.

“Nonrecoverable Advance”: Any Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. For the avoidance of doubt, Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts shall constitute Nonrecoverable Advances only when the Person making such determination in accordance with the procedures specified herein, and taking into account factors such as all other outstanding Advances, either (a) has determined that such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts, would not ultimately be recoverable from Late Collections, Default Interest, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or any other recovery on or in respect of such Mortgage Loan or the related REO Property (without giving effect to potential recoveries on deficiency judgments or recoveries from guarantors), or (b) has determined that such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, along with any other Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (that have not been reimbursed to the party that made such Advance) or unreimbursed Nonrecoverable Advances, would not be ultimately recoverable from the principal portion of future general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

“Nonrecoverable P&I Advance”: Any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) which, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, will not be ultimately recoverable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, from Late Collections or any other recovery on or in respect of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer, and with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination (other than by the Special Servicer) shall not be binding upon (but may be conclusively relied upon by) the Master Servicer and the Trustee, and any such determination by the Special Servicer shall be conclusive and binding upon the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse the determination of the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that a P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such P&I Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if any Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Trustee or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with a securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan determines that a principal and interest advance with

 -72-

respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be nonrecoverable, such determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Similarly, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that any P&I Advance with respect to a related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such determination shall not be binding on the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and related Non-Serviced Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan (unless the related Non-Serviced PSA provides otherwise). In making such recoverability determination, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses, (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any outstanding Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the reimbursement of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such recovery, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the P&I Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination. Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance has been made or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability

 -73-

determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Certificateholder (but in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer). The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal of the related Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property). The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.

“Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance”: Any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property which the Trustee determines in its reasonable business judgment, or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard, as the case may be, will not be ultimately recoverable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at the Reimbursement Rate, from Late Collections or any other recovery on or in respect of such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses, (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such recovery, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any Person, in

 -74-

considering whether a Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the reimbursement of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Servicing Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination. Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance has been made or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer); provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination (other than by the Special Servicer) shall not be binding upon (but may be conclusively relied upon by) the Master Servicer and the Trustee, and any such determination by the Special Servicer shall be binding upon the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse the determination of the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that a Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Servicing Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed

 -75-

Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or related Mortgaged Property). The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances other than emergency advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan. The determination as to the recoverability of any servicing advance or property protection advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be made by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA.

If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii) and (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or, if applicable, a copy thereof) with evidence of filing or recording thereon (if intended to be recorded or filed), solely because of a delay caused by the public filing or recording office where such document or instrument has been delivered, or will be delivered within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing Date, for filing or recordation, the delivery requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied on a provisional basis as of the Closing Date as to such non-delivered document or instrument, and such non-delivered document or instrument shall be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File, if a duplicate original or a photocopy of such non-delivered document or instrument (certified by the applicable public filing or recording office, the applicable title insurance company or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted or to be submitted for filing or recording) is delivered to the Custodian on or before the date set forth herein, and either the original of such non-delivered document or instrument, or a photocopy thereof (certified by the appropriate county recorder’s office or the applicable title insurance company, in the case of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clause (ii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording), with evidence of filing or recording thereon, is delivered to the Custodian within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the Closing Date (or within such longer period, not to exceed eighteen (18) months, after the Closing Date as the Custodian shall consent to as long as the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is, as certified in writing to the Trustee and the Custodian no less often than every ninety (90) days following such 180–day period after the Closing Date, attempting in good faith to obtain from the appropriate public filing office or county recorder’s office such original or photocopy). If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to, but cannot, deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii), and (ix) (or, if applicable, a copy thereof) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” with evidence of filing or recording thereon (if intended to be recorded or filed), for any other reason, including, without limitation, that such non-delivered document or instrument has been lost or destroyed, the delivery requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such non-delivered document or instrument, and such non-delivered document or instrument shall be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File, if a photocopy of such non-delivered document or instrument (with evidence of filing or recording thereon and certified in the case of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clause (ii) of the definition of

“Mortgage File” by the appropriate county recorder’s office or the applicable title insurance company to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording) is delivered to the Custodian on or before the date set forth herein. Neither the Trustee nor any Custodian shall in any way be liable for any failure by any Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor to comply with the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b). If, on the Closing Date as to any Mortgage Loan, subject to the next sentence, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to, but cannot, deliver (in complete and recordable form or form suitable for filing or recording, if applicable) any one of the assignments in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iii), clause (v), or clause (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File” solely because of the unavailability of filing or recording information as to any existing document or instrument, such Mortgage Loan Seller may provisionally satisfy the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) with respect to such assignment by delivering with respect to such Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date an omnibus assignment of such Mortgage Loan substantially in the form of Exhibit H; provided that all required original assignments with respect to such Mortgage Loan (in fully complete and recordable form or form suitable for filing or recording, if applicable) are delivered to the Custodian within one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (or within such longer period, not to exceed eighteen (18) months, which the Custodian shall consent to so long as the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is, as certified in writing to the Trustee and the Custodian no less often than every ninety (90) days following such 180–day period after the Closing Date, attempting in good faith to obtain from the appropriate public filing office or county recorder’s office the applicable filing or recording information as to the related document or instrument); and provided, further, that in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the delivery of any such assignments shall be subject to clause (e) of the first proviso to the definition of “Mortgage File” herein. As to any Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent is responsible for recording or filing, as applicable, any one of the assignments in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iii), clause (v), or clause (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, and such Mortgage Loan Seller may provisionally satisfy the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) with respect to such assignment by delivering to the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date a copy of such assignment in the form sent for recording or filing or (except for recording or filing information not yet available) to be sent for recording or filing; provided that an original or copy of such assignment (with evidence of recording or filing, as applicable, indicated thereon) shall be delivered to the Custodian as contemplated by Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to the delivery of a letter of credit in the manner described in clause (A) of clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) by delivering to the Custodian within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date with respect to any such letter(s) of credit a copy of such letter of credit, the transfer documentation and such transmittal communication to the issuing bank indicating that such document has been delivered to the issuing bank for reissuance. If a letter of credit is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver copies of the appropriate transfer or assignment documents to the Custodian promptly following receipt of

 -127-

written notification thereof. If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any transfer fee required in order to transfer the beneficiary’s interest from such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust as required hereunder and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is reissued to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust. Regardless of the manner of delivery, the related Mortgage Loan Seller is required pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to indemnify the Trust for any liabilities, charges, costs, fees or other expenses accruing from the failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to assign all rights in and to the letter of credit hereunder including the right and power to draw on the letter of credit.

(c)           Except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller is required at its sole cost and expense, to itself, or to engage a third party to, put each Assignment of Mortgage, each assignment of Assignment of Leases and each assignment of each UCC Financing Statement (collectively, the “Assignments” and, individually, “Assignment”) relating to the Mortgage Loans conveyed by it under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in proper form for filing or recording, as applicable, and to submit such Assignments for filing or recording, as the case may be, in the applicable public filing or recording office. On the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Sellers may deliver one (1) omnibus assignment for all such Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto to the Custodian as provided in Section 2.01(b). Except under the circumstances provided for in the last sentence of this Section 2.01(c) and except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller will itself, or a third party at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense will, promptly (and in any event within one hundred-twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date and the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s actual receipt of the related documents and the necessary recording and filing information) cause to be submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as appropriate, each Assignment. Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect that it (or a file copy thereof in the case of a UCC Assignment) should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following recording or filing (or to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent who will then be responsible for delivery of the same to the Custodian or its designee). Any such Assignment received by the Custodian shall be promptly included in the related Mortgage File and be deemed a part thereof, and any such Assignment received by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent shall be required to be delivered to the Custodian to be included as part of the related Mortgage File within thirty (30) days after receipt. If any such document or instrument is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the recording or filing requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is to be recorded or filed, or is lost by the public office or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, on or about one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall prepare, at its own expense, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall, at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate. If, by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian has not received confirmation of the recording or filing as the case may be, of any such Assignment, it shall so advise the related Mortgage Loan Seller who may then pursue such confirmation itself or request that the Custodian pursue such confirmation at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, and upon such a request and provision for payment of such

 -128-

expenses satisfactory to the Custodian, the Custodian, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, shall cause a search of the land records of each applicable jurisdiction and of the records of the offices of the applicable Secretary of State for confirmation that the Assignment appears in such records and retain a copy of such confirmation in the related Mortgage File. In the event that confirmation of the recording or filing of an Assignment cannot be obtained, the Custodian or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, shall promptly inform the other and the Custodian shall provide such Mortgage Loan Seller with a copy of the Assignment and request the preparation of a new Assignment. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the expenses for the preparation of replacement Assignments for any Assignments which, having been properly submitted for filing or recording to the appropriate governmental office by the Custodian, fail to appear of record and must be resubmitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no requirement to record any assignment to the Trustee referred to in clause (iii) or (v) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” or to file any UCC-3 to the Trustee referred to in clause (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” in those jurisdictions where, in the written opinion of local counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller) acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee, such recordation and/or filing is not required to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan against sale, further assignment, satisfaction or discharge by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the Depositor.

(d)       All documents and records in the Depositor’s or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s possession relating to the Mortgage Loans (including, in the case of such Mortgage Loan Seller, originals or copies of all financial statements, operating statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, Insurance Policies, certificates, guaranty/indemnity agreements, property inspection reports, escrow analysis, tax bills, third-party management agreements, asset summary and financial information on the borrower/sponsor and any guarantor, but in any case excluding the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s internal communications (including such communications between such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) and underwriting analysis (including documents prepared by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its Affiliates for such purposes), draft documents, attorney-client communications that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses and credit underwriting or due diligence analyses or data) that (i) are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File in accordance with the definition thereof and (ii) are reasonably necessary for the servicing of each such Mortgage Loan, together with copies of all documents in each Mortgage File, shall be delivered by the Depositor or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date and shall be held by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion Holder. Such documents and records shall be any documents and records (with the exception of any items excluded under the immediately preceding sentence) that would otherwise be a part of the Servicing File.

(e)       In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, on or before two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date, a fully executed original counterpart of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, as in full force and effect, without amendment or modification, on the Closing Date.

(f)       The Depositor shall use its reasonable best efforts to require that, promptly after the Closing Date, but in all events within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, each of the Mortgage Loan Sellers shall cause all funds on deposit in escrow accounts maintained with respect to the Mortgage Loans transferred by such Mortgage Loan Seller, whether such accounts are held in the name of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any other name to be transferred to the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer) for deposit into Servicing Accounts.

Marriott Desert Springs, Key Center Cleveland, DoubleTree Greenway Houston, B.F. Saul Hotel Portfolio, Hilton – Mystic, CT, Hilton Garden Inn Chattanooga Downtown, Best Western – Hannaford, OH and Red Roof Inn BWI Airport on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which are each subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the respective Mortgage Loan Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or otherwise have a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor (with a copy of such notice or request to the Master Servicer) within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), and the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to acquire any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter). If the Master Servicer is unable to acquire any such replacement comfort letter (or new document or acknowledgement, as applicable) within one hundred-twenty (120) days of the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall notify the related Mortgage Loan Seller that no such replacement comfort letter has been received.

(h)      Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall provide that within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, each Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Diligence Files for each of its Mortgage Loans to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence Files to the Designated Site. Promptly upon completion of such delivery of the Diligence Files (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide the Depositor a certificate (with a copy (which may be sent by e-mail) to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor) certifying that the electronic copies of the documents and information uploaded to the Designated Site constitute all documents and information required under the definition of “Diligence File” and such Diligence Files are organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (the “Diligence File Certification”).

(a)The Trustee, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement (1) acknowledges receipt by it or the Custodian on its behalf, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, of the applicable documents specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” with respect to each Mortgage Loan and of all other assets included in the Trust Fund and (2) declares (a) that it or the Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers that constitute the Mortgage Files in the name of the Trust for the benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Noteholders, as applicable, and (b) that it holds and will hold such other assets included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders (and for the benefit of the Trustee as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), as applicable. If any Mortgage Loan Seller is unable to deliver or cause the delivery of any original Mortgage Note, such Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver a copy of such Mortgage Note, together with a signed lost note affidavit and appropriate indemnity and shall thereby be deemed to have satisfied the document delivery requirements of Section 2.01 and of this Section 2.02.

(b)       Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan within sixty (60) days after the Due Date in the month of substitution), the Custodian, shall review the Mortgage Loan documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers constituting the Mortgage Files; and, promptly following such review (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (so long as no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and only with respect to Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full)) that, except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing (the “Custodial Exception Report”), (i) subject to the first proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01, all documents specified in clauses (i) through (v), (viii), (ix), (xi), (xii) and (xiii), if any, of the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession, (ii) the foregoing documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear to be executed and to relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (iii) based on such examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv), (vi) and (viii)(c) in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct. With respect to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Custodial Exception Report, the Custodian shall specifically identify such Mortgage Loan together with the nature of such exception (in the form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and the related Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from

 -131-

items which were delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for filing or recording and have not been returned by the filing office or the recorder’s office).

(c)       The Custodian shall review the Mortgage Loan documents received subsequent to the Closing Date; and, on or about the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any related Mortgage Loan as to which a Liquidation Event has occurred) or any related Mortgage Loan specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing) that, (i) subject to the first proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01, all documents specified in clauses (i) through (v), (viii), (ix), (xi), (xii) and (xiii), if any, of the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession, (ii) the foregoing documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear to be executed and relate to such Mortgage Loan, if applicable, and (iii) based on such examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv), (vi) and (viii)(c) in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct.

(d)       Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02 and Section 2.03(b) to the contrary, in the case of a Material Defect in any of the documents specified in clauses (ii) through (v), (vii), (viii) and (ix) in the definition of “Mortgage File”, which Material Defect results solely from a delay in the return of the related documents from the applicable filing or recording office and gives rise to a repurchase or substitution obligation on the part of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Directing Certificateholder, in its sole judgment, may (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class and, with respect to any other Mortgage Loan, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event), and the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller in lieu of repurchasing or substituting for the related Mortgage Loan, to deposit with the Master Servicer an amount, to be held in trust in a segregated Eligible Account (which may be a sub-account of the Collection Account), equal to 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (in the alternative, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver to the Master Servicer a letter of credit in such amount, with a copy to the Custodian). Such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall be held by the Master Servicer (i) until the date on which the Custodian determines and notifies the Master Servicer that such Material Defect has been cured or the related Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, at which time the Master Servicer shall return such funds (or letter of credit) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or (ii) until same are applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable) as set forth below in this Section 2.02(d) in the event of a repurchase or substitution by the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Notwithstanding the two (2) immediately preceding sentences, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer certifies to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian that it has determined in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that the document with respect to which such Material Defect exists is

required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the terms and conditions of Section 2.03(b) and Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to repurchase the Mortgage Loan for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice to repurchase (together with any applicable extension period) if it is attempting to recover the document from the applicable filing or recording office and provides an officer’s certificate setting forth what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with such recovery. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, upon the date of such repurchase or substitution, and in the event that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered a letter of credit to the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.02(d), the Master Servicer shall, to the extent necessary, draw on the letter of credit and deposit the proceeds of such draw, into the Collection Account to be applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable, in which event, the amount of such funds or proceeds that exceed the Substitution Shortfall Amount shall be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller) in accordance with Section 2.03(b). All such funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments, at the direction and for the benefit of the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Such funds shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under the REMIC Provisions, which, together with any reimbursement from the Lower-Tier REMIC, is beneficially owned by the related Mortgage Loan Seller for federal income tax purposes, which Mortgage Loan Seller shall remain liable for any taxes payable on income or gain with respect thereto.

(e)       It is herein acknowledged that neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any of the documents specified in clauses (vi), (vii) and (xii) through (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers or any other Person (unless identified on the Mortgage Loan Checklist) or (ii) to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, duly authorized, sufficient to perfect and maintain the perfection of a security interest or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face and, with respect to the documents specified in clause (viii) of the definition of the “Mortgage File”, whether the insurance is effective as of the date of the recordation, whether all endorsements or riders issued are included in the file or if the policy has not been issued whether any acceptable replacement document has been dated the date of the related Mortgage Loan funding. Further, with respect to the UCC Financing Statements referenced in the Mortgage File, absent actual knowledge to the contrary or copies of UCC Financing Statements delivered to the Custodian as part of the Mortgage File indicating otherwise, the Custodian may assume, for the purposes of the filings and the certification to be delivered in accordance with this Section 2.02 that the related Mortgage File should include one (1) state level UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two (2) or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement filing), or if the Custodian has received notice that a particular UCC Financing

 -133-

Statement was filed as a fixture filing, that the related Mortgage File should include only a local UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two (2) or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement filing). The assignments of the UCC Financing Statements to be assigned to the Trust will be delivered on the national forms (or on such other form as may be acceptable for filing or recording in the applicable jurisdiction) and in a format suitable for filing or recording, as applicable, and will be filed or recorded in the jurisdiction(s) where such UCC Financing Statements were originally filed or recorded, as indicated in the documents provided, and in accordance with then-current laws.

(f)       If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files or at any time thereafter, the Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File (1) not to have been properly executed, (2) subject to the timing requirements of Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c), not to have been delivered, (3) to contain information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or (4) to be defective on its face (each, a “Defect” in the related Mortgage File), the Custodian shall promptly so notify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (and in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date and every calendar quarter thereafter until all Defects are corrected) by providing a Custodial Exception Report setting forth for each affected Mortgage Loan, with particularity, the nature of such Defect (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and such Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were delivered by such Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for recording or filing and have not been returned by the recorder’s office or filing office).

(g)       If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (i) receives a Repurchase Request or any other request or demand from any Person for a Mortgage Loan Seller to repurchase or replace a Mortgage Loan because of an alleged Defect or Breach (together with a Repurchase Request, a “15Ga-1 Repurchase Request”) (the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent it receives such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, the “Repurchase Request Recipient” with respect to such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request); or (ii) receives any withdrawal of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request by the Person making such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request or any rejection of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (or such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request is forwarded to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer by another party hereto), then the Repurchase Request Recipient shall deliver notice (which may be by electronic format so long as a “backup” hard copy of such notice is also delivered on or prior to the next Business Day) of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request or withdrawal or rejection of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (each, a “15Ga-1 Notice”) to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (other than in the case of a rejection by such Mortgage Loan Seller) and the Depositor, in each case within ten (10) Business Days from such Repurchase Request Recipient’s receipt thereof.

Each 15Ga-1 Notice shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request is received by the Repurchase Request Recipient or the date any withdrawal of the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request is received by the Repurchase Request Recipient, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (as

 -134-

asserted in the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request), (iv) the identity of the Person making such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, and (v) a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request.

A Repurchase Request Recipient shall not be required to provide any information in a 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements will provide that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) is so provided only to assist the Mortgage Loan Sellers and Depositor or their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii) (A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Repurchase Request Recipient and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) by a Repurchase Request Recipient, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request Recipient may have with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

In the event that the Depositor, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, such party shall promptly forward or otherwise provide written notice of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a ‘15Ga-1 Repurchase Request’ under Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to BANK 2017-BNK4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-BNK4 requiring action by you as the ‘Repurchase Request Recipient’ thereunder.” Upon receipt of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02(g) with respect to such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request. In no event shall the Custodian, by virtue of this provision, be required to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.

If the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives notice or has knowledge of a withdrawal or a rejection of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given, and such notice was not received from or copied to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then such party shall give notice of such withdrawal or rejection to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Any such notice received by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, Operating Advisor, Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian shall also be provided to the Depositor and, in the case of a withdrawal notice, to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan is repurchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor of such repurchase or replacement.

 -136-

(i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of such notice of such Repurchase Request or, if earlier, such Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery of such Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of (x) discovery by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or any party to this Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party to this Agreement (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to this Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted)); provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the related Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the recorded document, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material

 -137-

Defect until eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date for so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator no less than every ninety (90) days, beginning at the end of such Initial Cure Period, that such Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that such Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach which causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller are to be remitted by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. In the event the Special Servicer is required to enforce the Repurchase Request related to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan under this Section 2.03(b), within five (5) days of request by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Special Servicer a copy of the Servicing File with respect to any such Non-Specially Serviced Loan.

If a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, in either case, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(g) of this Agreement. In connection with any Loss of Value Payment with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer, but in any event within the time frames and in the manner provided in Section 3.19 (as if such Mortgage Loan were subject to a Servicing Transfer Event), with the Servicing File and all information, documents and records relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer, and reasonably required by the Special Servicer to permit the Special Servicer to calculate the Loss of Value Payment, to the extent set forth in Section 3.19 (as if such Mortgage Loan were subject to a Servicing Transfer Event). 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 and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan and not previously paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the

 -138-

affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, provided that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Special Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”) may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer to the extent not previously paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses. Except as provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses and, upon its making such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced after the related Cut-off Date and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Purchase

 -139-

Agreement, a delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan if (i) the related Mortgage Loan Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by a party to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report or possession of the Mortgage File) (iii) such delay precludes such Mortgage Loan Seller from curing such Material Defect and (iv) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a borrower), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.

Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, if there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage Loan Seller provides an opinion of counsel to the effect that such release in lieu of repurchase would not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the issuing entity and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(c)       Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated above in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c), any of the following shall cause a document in the Mortgage File to be deemed to have a Material Defect: (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for by clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (e) the absence from

 -140-

the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit; or (f) with respect to any related leasehold Mortgage Loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except the Defects previously described in sub-clauses (a) through (f) of this Section 2.03(c)) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation; provided, further, that no Defect relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously described in sub-clauses (b) through (f) of this Section 2.03(c) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the related Mortgage Loan Seller, after receipt of notice of such Defect, is unable to produce a copy of the document with respect to which the Defect exists within a reasonable period after receiving such notice or otherwise establish that the original or copy, as applicable, of such document has been delivered, in compliance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, to the custodian under the related Non-Serviced PSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of executed escrow instructions or a binding commitment to issue a lender’s title insurance policy, as provided in clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File herein, in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender’s title insurance, shall not be considered a Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy is delivered to the Custodian not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise complied with its document delivery requirements under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Custodian has acknowledged receipt pursuant to Section 2.02 above of a document that is part of the Mortgage File or a Mortgage Loan Seller can otherwise prove delivery of the document, and the Custodian subsequently loses a document, the fact that such document is lost may not be utilized as the basis for a claim of a Material Defect against a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 5(a) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Section 2.03 and the Custodian shall be liable for any such loss to the extent provided for in Section 8.01.

(d)       In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of a trust receipt executed by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (other than attorney-client communications that are privileged communications), and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case may be to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in the same manner as provided in Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and, if applicable, the definition of “Mortgage File” herein,

 -141-

so as to vest in such Mortgage Loan Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan (including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents.

(e)       Section 5 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and the provisions of this Section 2.03 provide the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders (subject to the limitations on the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement), or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, with respect to any Material Defect.

(f)       The Enforcing Servicer shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, if any, shall be carried out in the best interest of the Certificateholders in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Any costs incurred by the Special Servicer with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall, to the extent not recovered from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, be deemed to be Servicing Advances to the extent not otherwise provided for herein. The Special Servicer shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, from a specific recovery, if any, of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; second, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vii) herein out of the related Purchase Price, to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and third, if at the conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clauses first and second are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vii) herein out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account. Any costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees related to a repurchase of a Companion Loan shall be paid pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement or pursuant to the documents related to an Other Securitization, if applicable.

(g)       If a Mortgage Loan Seller incurs any expense in connection with the curing of a Breach that constitutes a Material Defect, which also constitutes a default under the related Mortgage Loan and is reimbursable thereunder, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have a right, and shall be subrogated to the rights of the Trustee and the Trust under the Mortgage Loan to recover the amount of such expenses from the related Mortgagor; provided, however, that such Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) shall be junior, subject and subordinate to the rights of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to recover amounts owed by the related Mortgagor under the terms of such Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, the rights to recover unreimbursed Advances, accrued and unpaid interest on Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, fees owed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and unpaid or unreimbursed expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer allocable to such Mortgage Loan. The Enforcing Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to recover such expenses for such Mortgage Loan Seller to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, but taking into account the subordinate nature of the reimbursement to the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, however, that the Enforcing Servicer determines in the exercise of its sole discretion consistent with the Servicing Standard that such actions by it will not impair the Enforcing

 -142-

Servicer’s collection or recovery of principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the related Mortgage Loan that would otherwise be payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that the Special Servicer may waive the collection of amounts due on behalf of such Mortgage Loan Seller in its sole discretion in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(h)       If (i) any Crossed Underlying Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in this Section 2.03 and (ii) the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Defect shall be deemed to constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall repurchase or substitute for such other Crossed Underlying Loan(s) in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in Section 2.03(b) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan(s) as to which the related Material Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated among the related Crossed Underlying Loans in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Except as provided in this Section 2.03(h) and Section 2.03(i), all other terms of the related Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect without any modification thereof.

(i)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the related Mortgage provides for the partial release of one or more of the Crossed Underlying Loans, the Depositor may cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to repurchase only that Crossed Underlying Loan required to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.03, pursuant to the partial release provisions of the related Mortgage; provided, however, that (i) the remaining related Crossed Underlying Loan(s) fully comply with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage, this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria, (ii) in connection with such partial release, the related Mortgage Loan Seller obtains an Opinion of Counsel (at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and (iii) in connection with such partial release, the related Mortgage Loan Seller delivers or causes to be delivered to the Custodian original modifications to the Mortgage prepared and executed in connection with such partial release.

(j)       With respect to any Crossed Underlying Loan, to the extent that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for such Crossed Underlying Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 2.03(h) or Section 2.03(i) while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, as assignee of the Depositor, will, as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each will be

 -143-

permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective related Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as such exercise does not materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of the remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Underlying Loans held by such party, then both parties have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loan can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.

(k)       (i)In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to a party to this Agreement that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller alleging the existence of a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “Certificateholder Repurchase Request”), such party shall promptly forward that Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the Enforcing Servicer, and the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly forward the Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.03(l), the Enforcing Servicer shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to a Certificateholder Repurchase Request.

(ii)       In the event that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) or the Directing Certificateholder identifies a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan (without implying any duty of such person to make, or to attempt to make, such a discovery), that party shall deliver prompt written notice of such Material Defect to each other party to this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Seller identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “PSA Party Repurchase Request” and each of a Certificateholder Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, the “Repurchase Request”) and the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly send the PSA Party Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. The Enforcing Servicer shall act as the Enforcing Party and enforce the rights of the Trust against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to a PSA Party Repurchase Request.

(iii)       In the event the Repurchase Request is not Resolved within one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Mortgage Loan Seller receives the Repurchase Request (a “Resolution Failure”), then the provisions described in Section 2.03(l) below shall apply. Receipt of the Repurchase Request shall be deemed to occur two (2) Business Days after the Repurchase Request is sent to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. A Resolved Repurchase Request shall not preclude the Special Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or as provided by law.

(l)        (i)After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial

Requesting Certificateholder, a party to this Agreement or the Directing Certificateholder), the Enforcing Servicer shall send a notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, to the address specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to the Certificate Administrator (which shall be delivered via electronic mail to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com) who shall make such notice available to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request (a “Proposed Course of Action”). Such notice shall include (a) a request to Certificateholders to indicate their agreement with or dissent from such Proposed Course of Action by clearly marking “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action on such notice within 30 days of the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received after such 30-day period will not be taken into consideration, (b) a statement that in the event any Certificateholder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer (either as the Enforcing Party or as the Enforcing Servicer in circumstances where a Certificateholder is acting as the Enforcing Party) shall be compelled to follow the course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority of the responding Certificateholders that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration, as the case may be, (c) a statement that responding Certificateholders will be required to certify their holdings in connection with such response, (d) a statement that only responses clearly marked “agree” or “disagree” with such Proposed Course of Action will be taken into consideration and (e) instructions for responding Certificateholders to send their responses to the Enforcing Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall, within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the 30-day response period, tabulate the responses received from the Certificateholders and share the results with the Enforcing Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall only count responses timely received that clearly indicate agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language shall not be taken into consideration for purposes of determining whether the related Certificateholder agrees or disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to answer any questions from Certificateholders regarding such Proposed Course of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator’s obligations in connection with this Section 2.03(l) shall be limited solely to tabulating Certificateholder responses of “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action, and such obligation shall not be construed to impose any enforcement obligation on the Certificate Administrator. The Enforcing Servicer may conclusively rely (without investigation) on the Certificate Administrator’s tabulation of the responses of the responding Certificateholders and whether that amount constitutes a majority. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder (other than the holder of the RR Interest) or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner

 -145-

may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within thirty (30) days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration. In the event any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner entitled to do so delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice, and the Enforcing Servicer has also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, such responses will be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting the Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action approved by the majority of Certificateholders.

(ii)       If neither the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, nor any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner entitled to do so delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner otherwise entitled to do so shall have the right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer shall be the sole party entitled to determine a course of action, including, but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08.

(iii)       Promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice from (a) the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or (b) any other Certificateholder (other than of the RR Interest) or Certificate Owner (each of clauses (a) and (b), a “Requesting Certificateholder”), the Enforcing Servicer shall consult with each Requesting Certificateholder regarding such Requesting Certificateholder’s intention to elect either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Certificateholder may consider the views of the Enforcing Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date. The Enforcing Servicer shall be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems in good faith to be appropriate relating to the timing and extent of such consultations. No later than five (5) Business Days after completion of the Dispute Resolution Consultation, a Requesting Certificateholder may provide a final notice to the Enforcing Servicer indicating its decision to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration (“Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice”).

(iv)       If, following the Dispute Resolution Consultation, no Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then the Enforcing Servicer will continue to act as the Enforcing Party and will remain obligated under this Agreement to determine a course of action including, but not limited to, enforcing the rights of the Trust with respect to the Repurchase Request and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration.

 -146-

(v)       If a Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such Requesting Certificateholder shall become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. If there are more than one Requesting Certificateholder that timely deliver a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders shall collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders shall be entitled to make all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration. If, however, no Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then (i) the rights of a Requesting Certificateholder to act as the Enforcing Party shall terminate and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer shall take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Material Defect shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Material Defect shall not be deemed waived with respect to a Requesting Certificateholder, any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or the Enforcing Servicer to the extent there is a material change in the facts and circumstances known to such party at the time when the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Enforcing Servicer shall again become the Enforcing Party and, as such, shall be the sole party entitled to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

(vi)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this Section 2.03(l) shall not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer shall remain the Enforcing Party, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.

(vii)      In the event a Requesting Certificateholder becomes the Enforcing Party, the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall remain a party to any proceedings against the related Mortgage Loan Seller as further described herein.

(viii)     For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Depositor, any Mortgage Loan Seller nor any of their respective affiliates shall be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder.

(ix)       The Requesting Certificateholder is entitled to elect either mediation or arbitration in its sole discretion; however, the Requesting Certificateholder shall not be entitled to then utilize the alternative method in the event that the initial method is unsuccessful.

 -147-

(i)         The mediation shall be administered by a nationally recognized mediation services provider selected by the related Mortgage Loan Seller within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection of mediation (such provider, the “Mediation Services Provider”) in accordance with published mediation procedures (the “Mediation Rules”) promulgated by the Mediation Services Provider.

Upon being supplied a list of at least ten (10) potential qualified mediators by the Mediation Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two (2) peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference. The Mediation Services Provider shall select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)       Prior to accepting an appointment, the mediator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule.

(iv)       The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct an organizational conference to begin the mediation within ten (10) Business Days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within sixty (60) days thereafter.

Upon being supplied a list of at least ten (10) potential arbitrators by the Arbitration Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two (2) peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential arbitrators in order of preference. The Arbitration Services Provider will select the arbitrator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)       Prior to accepting an appointment, the arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule.

(iv)       After consulting with the parties at an organizational conference held not later than ten (10) Business Days after its appointment, the arbitrator shall devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within 120 days. The arbitrator shall have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for non-jury matters (the “Rules”) (including summary judgment and other prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so by reasoned decision on the motion of any party to the arbitration.

(v)        Notwithstanding whatever other discovery may be available under the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party to the arbitration will be presumptively limited to the following discovery in the arbitration: (A) the parties shall reasonably and in good faith voluntarily produce to all other parties all documents upon which they intend to rely and all documents they reasonably and in good faith believe to be relevant to the claims or defenses asserted by any of the parties, (B) party witness depositions (excluding Rule 30b-6 witnesses), and (C) expert witness depositions, provided that the arbitrator shall have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitrator determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.

(vi)       The arbitrator shall make its final determination no later than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the hearings and submission of any post-hearing submissions. The arbitrator shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, and may not modify or change those agreements in any way or award remedies not consistent with those agreements. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them. Interest on any monetary award shall bear interest from the date of the Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice at the Prime Rate. In its final determination, the arbitrator shall determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties to the arbitration as determined by the arbitrator in its reasonable discretion. The determination of the arbitrator shall be by a reasoned decision in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The final determination of

The arbitration proceedings shall not be stayed unless so ordered by the court.

(iii)       The details and/or existence of any Repurchase Request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 2.03, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to informally resolve any Repurchase Request, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 2.03). Such information will be kept strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed or shared with any third party (other than a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 2.03), except as otherwise required by law, regulatory requirement or court order. If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient shall promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and shall provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

(iv)       In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall be required to contain an acknowledgment that the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, shall be a party to any arbitration or mediation proceedings solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing Party; provided that the degree and

 -150-

All amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party shall be paid to the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall provide that in the event a Requesting Certificateholder is allocated any related costs and expenses pursuant to the terms of the arbitrator’s decision or the agreement reached in mediation, neither the Trust nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf shall be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Certificateholder.

(v)        In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the Requesting Certificateholder is required to pay any expenses allocated to the Enforcing Party in the arbitration proceedings or any expenses that the Enforcing Party agrees to bear in the mediation proceedings.

The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall act in accordance with the Servicing Standard with respect to any action required to be taken regarding the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans pursuant to their obligations under this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.19, the Special Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer (i) any Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and any related Serviced Companion Loans as to which a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing (each, a “Specially Serviced Loan”) or as otherwise provided herein with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans in connection with any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision and (ii) any REO Properties (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties); provided that the Master Servicer shall continue to receive payments and make all calculations, and prepare, or cause to be prepared, all reports, required hereunder with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans, except for the reports specified herein as prepared by the Special Servicer, as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to the REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred, and to render such services with respect to such Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for herein; provided, further, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Special Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Master Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Special Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. The Master Servicer, in its capacity as Master Servicer, shall not have any responsibility for the performance by the Special Servicer, in its capacity as Special Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement.

The Special Servicer shall make the property inspections, use its reasonable efforts to collect the financial statements, budgets, operating statements and rent rolls and forward to the Master Servicer the reports in respect of the related Mortgaged Properties with respect to Specially Serviced Loans in accordance with Section 3.12. After notification to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer may contact the Mortgagor of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan if efforts by the Master Servicer to collect required financial information have been unsuccessful or any other issues remain unresolved.

No provision hereof shall be construed to impose liability on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for the reason that any recovery to the Certificateholders in respect of a Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery is less than the amount reflected in such determination.

Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall (i) on the Closing Date, furnish to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer original powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2 attached hereto, as applicable (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and (ii) upon request, furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2 attached hereto, as applicable (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents necessary or

 -155-

appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any acts of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, representative capacity (unless prohibited by any requirement of the applicable jurisdiction in which any such action, suit or proceeding is brought and if so prohibited, in the manner required by such jurisdiction (provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall then provide five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or such shorter time period as is reasonably required in the judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard) prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding, and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity)) or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be required to be registered to do business in any state.

(c)       To the extent the Master Servicer is permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) to exercise its discretion with respect to any action that requires Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), the Master Servicer shall require the costs of such Rating Agency Confirmation to be borne by the related Mortgagor. To the extent the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) require the Mortgagor to bear the costs of any Rating Agency Confirmation or confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), the Master Servicer shall not waive the requirement that such costs and expenses be borne by the related Mortgagor. To the extent that the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) are silent as to who bears the costs of any Rating Agency Confirmation or confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. The Master Servicer shall not be responsible for the payment of such costs and expenses out of pocket other than as a Servicing Advance.

 -156-

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

(e)        The Master Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents or any related Companion Loan documents, and consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit Escrow Payments to be invested only in Permitted Investments.

(f)         Within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt thereof by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall notify each lessor under a Ground Lease for each Mortgage Loan identified as subject to a leasehold interest on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Trust is the leasehold mortgagee and that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall service the related Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor.

With respect to letters of credit delivered in accordance with subclause (B) of clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, (a) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date or such shorter period as is required by the terms of such letter of credit or other applicable Mortgage Loan documents, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify the bank issuing the letter of credit that the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall be the beneficiary under such letter of credit, and (b) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall present such letter of credit and the related assignment documentation delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with such subclause of the definition of “Mortgage File” to the letter of credit bank issuing such letter of credit and request that such letter of credit bank reissue the letter of credit in the name of “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of registered holders of BANK 2017-BNK4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-BNK4”. The Master Servicer shall otherwise use reasonable efforts to obtain such reissued letter of credit back from the issuing letter of credit bank within sixty (60) days (and in any event within ninety (90) days) following the Closing Date. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide such reasonable cooperation as requested by the Master Servicer, including without limitation by delivering such additional assignment or amendment documents required by the issuing bank in order to reissue a letter of credit as provided above.

If a letter of credit is required to be drawn upon earlier than the date that the letter of credit has been revised as contemplated in the preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in connection with making a draw under such letter of credit. If the Mortgage Loan documents do not require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to or assignment of the related letter of credit, then the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. If the Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to the related letter of credit, and such Mortgagor fails to pay such costs and expenses after the Master Servicer has exercised reasonable efforts to collect such costs and expenses from such Mortgagor, then the Master

 -157-

Servicer shall give the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller notice of such failure and the amount of costs and expenses, and such Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for the failure of any Mortgage Loan Seller to perform its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

The Master Servicer acknowledges that any letter of credit held by it shall be held in its capacity as agent of the Trust, and if the Master Servicer sells its rights to service the applicable Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall assign the applicable letter of credit to the Trust or (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan) at the direction of the Special Servicer to such party as the Special Servicer may instruct, in each case at the expense of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trust for any loss caused by the ineffectiveness of such assignment.

(g)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) make an Advance with respect to any Companion Loan to the extent the related Serviced Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or is no longer included in the Trust Fund.

(h)       Servicing and administration of each Serviced Companion Loan shall continue hereunder and in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement for so long as the corresponding Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property is part of the Trust Fund or for such longer period as is contemplated by the related Intercreditor Agreement and, to the extent consistent with the related Intercreditor Agreement, as any amounts payable by the related Companion Holder to or for the benefit of the Trust or any party hereto in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement remain due and owing.

(i)       The Special Servicer agrees that upon the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is subject to or becomes subject to an Intercreditor Agreement in the future, it shall, subject to Section 3.19, use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, on behalf of the Trust, subject to the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Special Servicer determines such action is in the best interests of the Trust, all rights conveyed to the Trustee pursuant to any such Intercreditor Agreement. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with such enforcement shall be paid as a Trust Fund expense or, subject to the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, (i) with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pro rata and pari passu, by the Trust and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) or (ii) with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, first, by the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan(s) and then, pro rata and pari passu, by the Trust and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 -158-

(j)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the servicing and administration of a Serviced Whole Loan shall continue hereunder (but not with respect to making Advances) even if the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, until such time as a separate servicing agreement is entered into in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (it being acknowledged that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated under a separate agreement to which it is not a party); provided that, other than pursuant to Section 6.04 (and, with respect to Section 6.04, solely with respect to claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with a legal claim or action resulting from an action or inaction taken or not taken while the related Serviced Mortgage Loan was part of the Trust Fund), no costs, expenses, losses or fees accruing with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan on and after the date the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund shall be payable out of the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Advance on or after the date such Serviced Mortgage Loan ceases to be part of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that if, in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan continues to be included in an Other Securitization, then for so long as a separate servicing agreement (pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) has not been entered into, the Master Servicer shall inform the related Other Servicer of any need to make Servicing Advances with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan within three (3) Business Days of determining that such an Advance is necessary or being notified that such an Advance is necessary, or in the case of a Servicing Advance that needs to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, within one (1) Business Day. With respect to Servicing Advances made by any Other Servicer as contemplated in the proviso to the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall, from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan (but never out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) received by the Master Servicer, reimburse the Other Servicer for such Servicing Advances in the same manner and on the same level of priority as if such Servicing Advances had been made by the Master Servicer hereunder.

(k)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are limited by and subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect thereto under the related Non-Serviced PSA. The Master Servicer (or, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer) shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standards to enforce the rights of the Trustee (as holder of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and Non-Serviced PSA.

(l)        The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and further acknowledge that, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement, (i) the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is to be serviced and administered by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA, and (ii) in the event that (A) the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund created by the related Non-Serviced PSA and (B) the related

 -159-

Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, then, as set forth in the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement, the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA, until such time as a new servicing agreement has been agreed to by the parties to the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the provisions of such agreement and confirmation has been obtained from the Rating Agencies that such new servicing agreement would not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates then outstanding.

(m)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan are limited by, and subject to, the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Master Servicer (or, if a Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer) shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain the benefits of the rights of the Trust (as holder of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

(n)       [RESERVED.]

(o)       For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee have any obligation or authority to (a) supervise any related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator or Non-Serviced Trustee or (b) make Servicing Advances with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The obligation of the Master Servicer to provide information and collections and make P&I Advances to the Certificate Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or collections from the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer.

(p)       Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to lend money to (to the extent not secured, in whole or in part, by any Mortgaged Property), accept deposits from and otherwise generally engage in any kind of business or dealings with any Mortgagor as though the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer was not a party to this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to modify or supersede the Servicing Standard.

Section 3.02     Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard); provided that with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has an Anticipated Repayment Date, for so long as the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer

 -160-

shall be permitted to take any enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make any payment of Excess Interest to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents; provided, further, that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan three (3) times during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan one additional time in such 24-month period so long as with respect to any of the foregoing waivers, no Advance or additional expense of the Trust has been incurred and remains unreimbursed to the Trust with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan. Any additional waivers during such 24-month period with respect to such Mortgage Loan may be made, subject to the Servicing Standard, only after the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, given notice of a proposed waiver to the Directing Certificateholder and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder has consented to such additional waiver (provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within five (5) days of giving such notice, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver); provided, further, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive any Penalty Charge in accordance with the Servicing Standard without the consent of the Directing Certificateholder; provided, further, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party with respect to the foregoing waivers.

(b)       (i) All amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of a Mortgage Loan shall be applied to amounts due and owing under the Mortgage Loan documents (including for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of the Mortgage Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement); provided, however, that absent express provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) or to the extent otherwise agreed to by the related Mortgagor in connection with a workout of a Mortgage Loan, all amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of a Mortgage Loan in the form of payments from the related Mortgagor, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds under the Mortgage Loan (in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, exclusive of amounts payable to any applicable Companion Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement) shall be applied in the following order of priority:

None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any failure of the related Mortgagor to pay any such Excess Interest or prepayment penalty. The preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.02(a).

(e)       In connection with the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for which the related Mortgagor was required to escrow funds or to post a letter of credit related to obtaining performance objectives, such as targeted debt service coverage levels or leasing criteria with respect to the Mortgaged Property as a whole or particular portions thereof, if the mortgagee has the discretion under the applicable Mortgage Loan documents to retain the cash or letter of credit (or the proceeds of such letters of credit) as additional collateral if the relevant conditions to release are not satisfied, then the related Master Servicer may continue to hold such escrows or letters of credit (or the proceeds of such letters of credit) as additional collateral or use such funds to reduce the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (to the extent the related Mortgage

(f)       Promptly following the Closing Date, in the case of any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall send written notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T) to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (with a copy to any other applicable party set forth on the schedule of addresses to Exhibit T) stating that, as of such date, the Trustee is the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing such Non-Serviced Master Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Serviced PSA. The Master Servicer shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds, deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property or any related REO Property.

Section 3.03     Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments received by it shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, the Companion Loan documents. Any Servicing Account related to a Serviced Whole Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Noteholder(s) collectively, but this shall not be construed to modify the respective interests of any noteholder therein as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. Amounts on deposit in Servicing Accounts may only be invested in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and Companion Loan documents, or in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited from a Servicing Account may be made only to: (i) effect payment of items for which Escrow Payments were collected and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Trustee and then the Master Servicer, if applicable, for any Servicing Advances; (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account, if required by applicable law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and as described below or, if not so required, to the Master Servicer; (v) after the occurrence of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, apply amounts to the indebtedness under the applicable Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; (vi) withdraw amounts deposited in error; (vii) pay Penalty Charges to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents; or (viii) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the related Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to remit to any Mortgagor any amounts in excess of actual net investment income or funds in the related Servicing Account. If allowed by the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor an administrative fee for maintenance of the Servicing Accounts.

(b)       The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each related Serviced Companion Loan, shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof. The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each related Serviced Companion Loan, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof from the REO Account or by the Master Servicer as Servicing Advances prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items, employing for such purpose Escrow Payments (which shall be so applied by the Master Servicer at the written direction of the Special Servicer in the case of REO Loans) as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Companion Loan. Other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall service and administer any reserve accounts (including monitoring, maintaining or changing the amounts of required escrows) in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, and the Servicing Standard. To the extent that a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Companion Loan, as applicable, does not require a Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans, and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other such Mortgage Loans or Companion Loan, as applicable, that it is responsible for servicing hereunder, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to comply with its obligation to make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items.

(c)       In accordance with the Servicing Standard and for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and each Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable) and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Mortgagor (or related REO Revenues, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and provided, however, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and provided, further, however, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make such advance until the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, has received confirmation that such item has not been paid and (ii) the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer and the Trustee no less than

 -167-

five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property; provided, however, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis) more frequently than once per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request to the Special Servicer, in which case the Special Servicer shall remit such Servicing Advances to the ultimate payees. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances; provided that in an urgent or emergency situation requiring the making of a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer may make a Servicing Advance in its sole discretion. Within five (5) Business Days of making such a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer request for reimbursement for such Servicing Advance, along with all information and documentation in the Special Servicer’s possession regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of the Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) made by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of interest shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Special Servicer. Upon the Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the Special Servicer of any Servicing Advance and payment to the Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.03, the Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Servicing Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer actually made such Servicing Advance, and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such Servicing Advance, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made such Servicing Advance at the time the Special Servicer did. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer out of its own funds for, or to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall instead be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement.

Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination; provided that the determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer or Trustee. On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer determines any Servicing Advance previously made by the Master Servicer

 -168-

with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination, and such determination shall be binding upon the Master Servicer, and shall in no way limit the ability of the Master Servicer in the absence of such determination to make its own determination that any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion of, and not all of, any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the Certificate Administrator’s calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans, related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, so permit. If the Master Servicer fails to make any required Servicing Advance as and when due (including any applicable cure periods), to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 7.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. In addition, the Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer may in its good faith judgment elect (but shall not be required unless directed by the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (or the Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by a Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) (which shall be deemed first made from amounts distributable as principal and then from all other amounts comprising general collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below notwithstanding that the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, as the case may be) has determined that a Servicing Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) that making such expenditure is in the best interest of the Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Companion Holders), all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans). The Master Servicer or the Trustee may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances from the Trust pursuant to the terms of Section 3.17(c). The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, the applicable

 -169-

Non-Serviced Master Servicer is obligated to make servicing advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for nonrecoverable servicing advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA) in the manner set forth in the applicable Non-Serviced PSA and the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement.

(d)       In connection with its recovery of any Servicing Advance out of the Collection Account (or the Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Trustee, the Special Servicer and then the Master Servicer, as the case may be and in that order, shall be entitled to receive, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Servicing Advance from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Subject to Section 3.17(c), the Master Servicer shall reimburse itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding Servicing Advance as soon as practically possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account (or the Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) subject to the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts as provided herein; provided, however, that the Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts shall not alter the Master Servicer’s obligation to reimburse the Special Servicer for any outstanding Servicing Advance as provided for in this sentence. To the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account with respect to the related Companion Loan are insufficient for any such reimbursement, the Master Servicer shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to enforce the rights of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain any reimbursement available from the holder of the related Companion Loan.

(e)       To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation thereof within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which plan is required to be established or completed. To the extent any repairs, capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation of such actions and remediations within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which action or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed. To the extent a Mortgagor shall fail to promptly respond to any inquiry described in this Section 3.03(e), the Master Servicer shall report any such failure to the Special Servicer within a reasonable time after the date as of which actions or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed.

Section 3.04     The Collection Account, the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account. (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, the Collection

 -170-

(v)       any amounts required to be transferred from the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c);

(vi)      any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Collection Account; and

 -171-

Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements, the Master Servicer need not deposit into the Collection Account any amount that the Master Servicer would be authorized to withdraw immediately from such account in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 and shall be entitled to instead immediately pay such amount directly to the Person(s) entitled thereto; provided that such amounts shall be applied in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be reported as if deposited in the Collection Account and then withdrawn.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, actual payments from Mortgagors in the nature of Escrow Payments, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, assumption fees, modification fees, extension fees, defeasance fees, amounts collected for Mortgagor checks returned for insufficient funds or other amounts the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Assumption, extension and modification fees actually received from Mortgagors on Specially Serviced Loans shall be promptly delivered to the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Upon receipt of any of the foregoing amounts in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer shall remit within one (1) Business Day such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, in accordance with this Section 3.04(a). Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO Property shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the REO Account and remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.14(c). With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse without recourse or warranty such check to the order of the Master Servicer and shall promptly deliver any such check to the Master Servicer by overnight courier. Funds in the Collection Account may only be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. As of the Closing Date, the Collection Account for the Master Servicer shall be located at the offices of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor of the new location of the Collection Account prior to any change thereof.

(b)       The Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall establish and maintain (i) the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (other than Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates), (ii) the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates) and (iii) the Excess Interest Distribution Account in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates and the RR Interest. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator each month on or before the P&I Advance Date therein, for deposit (x) in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, that portion of the Aggregate Available Funds attributable to the Mortgage Loans (in each case, calculated without regard to clauses (a)(iii)(B),

 -172-

(a)(iv), (c) and (d) of the definition of Aggregate Available Funds) for the related Distribution Date and (y) in the Excess Interest Distribution Account all Excess Interest for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account maintained by the Master Servicer after giving effect to withdrawals of funds pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, so long as Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the Certificate Administrator, all funds held in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account shall remain uninvested.

The Certificate Administrator shall, on any Distribution Date, make withdrawals from the Excess Interest Distribution Account to the extent required to make the distributions of Excess Interest required by Section 4.01(j) of this Agreement.

With respect to each Companion Loan (excluding any Non-Serviced Companion Loan), the Companion Paying Agent shall establish and maintain the Companion Distribution Account, which may be a subaccount of the Collection Account, for distributions to each Companion Holder. Funds in the Companion Distribution Account shall be held for the benefit of the related Companion Holder. The Companion Paying Agent shall separately track for each Serviced Companion Loan all amounts deposited in the Companion Distribution Account with respect to such Serviced Companion Loan.

On each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, (1) first, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account (or applicable portion thereof) an aggregate amount equal to all payments and/or collections actually received on, and payable in respect of, the applicable Serviced Companion Loan prior to such date and deposit such amount in the Companion Distribution Account; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to transfer to the Companion Distribution Account any portion thereof that is payable or reimbursable to or at the direction of any party to this Agreement under the other provisions of this Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement; and (2) then, the Companion Paying Agent shall make the payments and remittance described in Section 4.01(k). With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, in the event the Master Servicer has received written notice that an Other Servicer or Other Trustee has made an advance of a monthly debt service payment on a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and the Master Servicer subsequently receives Late Collections in respect of such advanced payment, the Master Servicer shall remit to the applicable Other Servicer or Other Trustee, within two (2) Business Days following receipt of such Late Collections in properly identified funds, the amount allocable to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement.

The Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Interest Reserve Account, may be subaccounts of a single Eligible Account, which shall be maintained as a segregated account separate from other accounts.

(iv)     any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans actually collected; and

(v)      any other amounts required to be so delivered for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Funds on deposit in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account or the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account shall not be invested for so long as Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the Certificate Administrator; provided, however, that such funds may be invested and, if invested, shall be invested by, and at the risk of, the Certificate Administrator (but only if the Certificate Administrator is not Wells Fargo Bank, National Association) in Permitted Investments selected by the party hereunder that maintains such account which shall mature, unless payable on demand, not later than such time on the Distribution Date which will allow the Certificate Administrator to make withdrawals from the Distribution Account, and any such Permitted Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity unless payable on demand.

None of the Trust, the Depositor, the Mortgagors, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be liable for any loss incurred on such Permitted Investments.

An amount equal to all income and gain realized from any such investment shall be paid to the Certificate Administrator as additional compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any time from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be for the account of the Certificate Administrator which shall deposit the amount of such loss (to the extent not offset by income from other investments) in the Distribution Accounts, as the case may be, out of its own funds immediately as realized. If the Certificate Administrator deposits in or transfers to the Distribution Accounts, as the case may be, any amount not required to be deposited therein or transferred thereto, it may at any time withdraw such amount or retransfer such amount from the Distribution Accounts, as the case may be, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

As of the Closing Date, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account shall be located at the offices of the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall give notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, and the Depositor of the proposed location of the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, and, if established, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account prior to any change thereof.

The Excess Interest Distribution Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account (or as a subaccount of an Eligible Account). Prior to the applicable Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account an amount equal to the Excess Interest received by the Master Servicer prior to the Determination Date for the applicable Collection Period.

(i)        to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.05(a) of this Agreement, for any Nonrecoverable Advance made by such party with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced REO Property (together with any interest on such Advances);

(ii)       to pay, in accordance with Section 3.05(a) of this Agreement, or to reimburse the Trust for the prior payment of, any expense or Liquidation Fee relating to such Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced REO Property that constitutes or, if not paid out of such Loss of Value Payments, would constitute an additional expense of the Trust;

(iii)      to offset any portion of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, that are attributable to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as the case may be (as calculated without regard to the application of such Loss of Value Payments), incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related successor REO Loan;

(iv)      following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced REO Property and any related transfers from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund with respect to the items contemplated by the immediately preceding clauses (i)-(iii) as to such Mortgage Loan, to cover the items contemplated by the immediately preceding clauses (i)-(iii) in respect of any other Mortgage Loan or Serviced REO Loan; and

(v)       On the final Distribution Date after all distributions have been made as set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) above, to each Mortgage Loan Seller, its pro rata share, based on the amount that it contributed, net of any amount contributed by such Mortgage Loan Seller that was used pursuant to clauses (i)-(iii) to offset any portion of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, that are attributable to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as the case may be, additional trust fund expenses or any Nonrecoverable Advances incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan related to such contribution.

 -187-

(h)       Any Loss of Value Payments transferred to the Collection Account pursuant to clauses (i)-(iii) of the prior paragraph shall be treated as Liquidation Proceeds received by the Trust in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Loan with respect thereto for which such Loss of Value Payments were received; and any Loss of Value Payments transferred to the Collection Account pursuant to clause (iv) of the prior paragraph shall be treated as Liquidation Proceeds received by the Trust in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan for which such Loss of Value Payments are being transferred to the Collection Account to cover an item contemplated by clauses (i)-(iv) of the prior paragraph.

(i)       The Companion Paying Agent may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Companion Distribution Account to make distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(k).

Section 3.06     Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the REO Account. (a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, or any Servicing Account (for purposes of this Section 3.06, an “Investment Account”), the Special Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the REO Account or Loss of Value Reserve Fund (also for purposes of this Section 3.06, an “Investment Account”) to invest or if it is such depository institution, may itself invest, the funds held therein, only in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next succeeding date on which funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon and (ii) no later than the date on which funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any funds held in an Investment Account shall be held in the name of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, on behalf of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) on behalf of the Trustee, shall maintain continuous physical possession of any Permitted Investment of amounts in the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Servicing Accounts, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or the REO Account, as applicable, that is either (i) a “certificated security,” as such term is defined in the UCC (such that the Trustee shall have control pursuant to Section 8-106 of the UCC) or (ii) other property in which a secured party may perfect its security interest by physical possession under the UCC or any other applicable law. In the case of any Permitted Investment held in the form of a “security entitlement” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall take or cause to be taken such action as the Trustee deems reasonably necessary to cause the Trustee to have control over such security entitlement. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer) or the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) shall:

 -188-

(i)        consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) all amounts then payable thereunder and (b) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

(ii)       demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

(b)       Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Master Servicer to the extent (with respect to Servicing Accounts) not required to be paid to the related Mortgagor and shall be subject to its withdrawal, or withdrawal at its direction, in accordance with Section 3.03 or Section 3.05(a), as the case may be. Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the REO Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for each period from and including any Distribution Date to and including the immediately succeeding P&I Advance Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Special Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.14(c). In the event that any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment (as to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, would have been entitled to any Net Investment Earnings hereunder) directed to be made by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and on deposit in any of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Servicing Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or the REO Account, the Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) shall deposit therein, no later than the P&I Advance Date, without right of reimbursement, the amount of Net Investment Loss, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account at the time such investment was made (and, with respect to the Master Servicer, such federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company is not an Affiliate of the Master Servicer unless such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualification set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at the time the investment was made and (y) thirty (30) days prior to such insolvency).

 -189-

(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 Master Servicer may and, upon the request of Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

Section 3.07     Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) The Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall use its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties) shall maintain, to the extent required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage Loan documents except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default (and except as provided in the next sentence with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be). If the Mortgagor does not so maintain such insurance coverage, subject to its recoverability determination with respect to any required Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall maintain all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage, but only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. Any determination that such insurance coverage is not available or not available at commercially reasonable rates shall be made with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder) (or, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, if the Directing Certificateholder’s consent is required and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, with the consent of the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan) and, after consultation by the Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party). Such determination shall be made by the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan); provided, however, that if any Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or, with respect to REO Property, the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall impose or maintain, as applicable, such insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing Standard taking into account the insurance in place at the closing of the Mortgage Loan, provided that, with respect to the immediately preceding proviso, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to

 -190-

maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts unless the Mortgagor’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as determined by the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (unless a Control Termination Event has occurred) and after consultation by the Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in each case, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party)) and only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. Subject to Section 3.15(a) and the costs of such insurance being reimbursed or paid to the Special Servicer as provided in the third-to-last sentence of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall maintain for each REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents unless the Special Servicer determines with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and after consultation by the Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in each case other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates or that the Trustee does not have an insurable interest, in which case the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination. All Insurance Policies maintained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall (i) contain a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), including any related Serviced Companion Loan, other than REO Properties) or to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (ii) be in the name of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (iii) include coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing Mortgaged Property or the REO Property, as applicable, and (y) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions, (iv) include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction for depreciation (unless such endorsement is not permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents), (v) be noncancelable without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the insured party (except in the case of nonpayment, in which case such policy shall not be cancelled without ten (10) days prior notice) and (vi) subject to the first proviso in the second sentence of this Section 3.07(a), be issued by a Qualified Insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such Insurance Policies. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such Insurance Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan documents) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies in respect of Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) (other

 -191-

than REO Properties and other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (i) if the Mortgagor defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account) and will be charged to the related Mortgagor and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan (if any), notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by the Special Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies with respect to REO Properties shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account). The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07 shall apply to any Serviced Whole Loan as if it were a single “Mortgage Loan”. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Master Servicer will not be required to maintain, and will not be in default for failing to obtain, any earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and is currently available at commercially reasonable rates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that either (x) require the Mortgagor to maintain “all risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable Mortgagor to maintain insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) reasonably requires from time to time in order to protect its interests, the Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, (A) monitor in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the insurance policies for the related Mortgaged Property contain Additional Exclusions; provided that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon certificates of insurance in determining whether such policies contain Additional Exclusions, (B) request the Mortgagor to either purchase insurance against the risks specified in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance and (C) if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, notify the Special Servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge (such knowledge to be based upon the Master Servicer’s compliance with the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) above) that any Mortgagor under a Specially Serviced Loan fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (B) above. If the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer (with regard to such determination made by the Special Servicer) shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of the Master Servicer) in determining whether

 -192-

Additional Exclusions exist. Furthermore, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly deliver such conclusions in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the ten (10) highest outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust. During the period that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder or (solely with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) upon the request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, consulting (on a non-binding basis) with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a), neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain (or its failure to maintain) such insurance and will not be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure and the Master Servicer will not itself maintain such insurance or cause such insurance to be maintained.

(b)       (i) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, but excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), as the case may be, required to be serviced and administered hereunder, then, to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause fire and hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties. Such Insurance Policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a fire and hazard Insurance Policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such Insurance Policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of such loss or losses that would have been covered under the individual policy but are not covered under the blanket Insurance Policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan), or in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as administrator and Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. The Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, may maintain, earthquake insurance on REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), provided coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates, the cost of which shall be a Servicing Advance.

(ii)       If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a master single interest or force-placed insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer naming the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee as the loss payee, then to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the

 -193-

Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause such insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties and REO Properties. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such master single interest or force-placed insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. Such master single interest or force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy had it been maintained, deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the master single or force-placed interest policy because of such deductible clause, to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan, including any related Serviced Companion Loan, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.

(c)       The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each 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 with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s misappropriation of funds or errors or omissions. Such amount of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Coverage of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.07(c). The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer will promptly report in writing to the Trustee any material changes that may occur in their respective fidelity bonds, if any, and/or their respective errors and omissions insurance policies, as the case may be, and will furnish to the Trustee copies of all binders and policies or certificates evidencing that such bonds, if any, and insurance policies are in full force and effect.

(d)       At the time the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) is in a federally designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available), the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan documents) to maintain, and, if the related Mortgagor shall default in its obligation to so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest therein), flood insurance in respect thereof, but only to the extent the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan permits the mortgagee to require such coverage and the maintenance of such coverage is consistent with the Servicing Standard. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the

 -194-

lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. If the cost of any insurance described above is not borne by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall promptly make a Servicing Advance for such costs.

(e)       During all such times as any REO Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall be located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Special Servicer will cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and in consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in either such case, other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party)) in accordance with the Servicing Standard), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The cost of any such flood insurance with respect to an REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

(f)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term debt obligations or the deposit account or claims-paying ability of the Master Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent) or the Special Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent), as applicable, is rated at least “A3” by Moody’s or “A-” by Fitch, the Master Servicer (or its public parent) or the Special Servicer (or its public parent), as applicable, shall be allowed to provide self-insurance with respect to any of its obligations under this Section 3.07.

(g)       Each of the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer 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 with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s errors or omissions.

Section 3.08     Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. (a) As to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause, which by its terms:

(i)        provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or

(ii)       provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan may not be assumed without the consent of the mortgagee in connection with any such sale or other transfer;

 -195-

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Master Servicer (with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter is a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition thereof) or the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter is a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right to exercise such rights, provided that (i) other than with respect to a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition thereof, (A) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, no Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the matter involves a Major Decision, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder shall have been obtained by the Special Servicer to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under, Section 6.08(a), (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, a Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (C) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (x) such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or (y) a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Risk Retention Consultation Party if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (provided that in the case of clause (A), clause (B) and clause (C) such consent shall be deemed given or such consultation shall be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, if a response to the request for consent or consultation, as the case may be, is not provided within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, and reasonably available to such Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent or conduct such consultation), and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (x) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, (y) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to 5% of the aggregated Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding or (z) together with all other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted or together with all other Mortgage Loans with the same Mortgagor (or an Affiliate thereof), that is one of the ten (10) largest Mortgage Loans outstanding (by Stated Principal Balance), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, prior to consenting to any action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), provided, however, that with respect to sub-clauses (y) and (z) of this sub-clause (ii), such Mortgage Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply.

With respect to any “due-on-sale” matter described above that is a Major Decision related to any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of the majority of the RR Interest, upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, Specially Serviced Loans; and (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, all Mortgage Loans, within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder with respect to the above described “due-on-sale” matters.

(b)       As to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause that by its terms:

(i)        provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or

(ii)       requires the consent of the mortgagee to the creation of any such additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor;

 -197-

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Master Servicer (with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan and as to which such matter is a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) or clause (xv) of the definition thereof) or the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter is a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive its right to exercise such rights, provided that (i) other than with respect to a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) or clause (xv) of the definition thereof, (A) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, no Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the matter involves a Major Decision, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder shall have been obtained by the Special Servicer to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under, Section 6.08(a), (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, a Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, and no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (C) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (x) such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or (y) a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Risk Retention Consultation Party if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (provided that in the case of clause (A), clause (B) and clause (C) such consent shall be deemed given or such consultation shall be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, if a response to the request for consent or consultation, as the case may be, is not provided within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, and reasonably available to such Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent or conduct such consultation), and (ii) such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, has obtained Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) if such Mortgage Loan (A) has an outstanding principal balance that is greater than or equal to 2% of the Stated Principal Balance of the outstanding Mortgage Loans or (B) has an LTV Ratio greater than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt) or (C) has a debt service coverage ratio less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if any, and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) or (D) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans (by Stated Principal Balance) or (E) has a Stated Principal Balance greater than $20,000,000; provided, however, that with respect to sub-clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this sub-clause (ii), such Mortgage Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any

 -198-

Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

With respect to any “due-on-encumbrance” matter described above that is a Major Decision related to any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of the majority of the RR Interest, upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, Specially Serviced Loans; and (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, all Mortgage Loans, within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder with respect to the above described “due-on-encumbrance” matters.

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related rating agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(b), the Special Servicer shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related 17g-5 information provider) in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Rating Agency Confirmation described in the immediately preceding paragraph or in Section 3.08(a) shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor; provided that if the Mortgage Loan documents are silent as to who bears the costs of obtaining any such Rating Agency Confirmation, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to make the related Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. Unless determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance such costs not collected from the related Mortgagor shall be advanced as a Servicing Advance.

If any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee provided that certain conditions contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied where no mortgagee discretion is necessary in order to determine if such conditions are satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Master Servicer (with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine whether such conditions have been satisfied.

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in Section 3.08(a) or this Section 3.08(b) that constitutes a consent or waiver with respect to a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Specially Serviced Loan and other than any transfers provided for in clause (xiii) of the definition of Master Servicer Decision and other than any waiver of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause which waiver constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition thereof, the

 -199-

Master Servicer shall promptly forward such request to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and except as provided in the next sentence, the Master Servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance. The Master Servicer shall continue to cooperate with the Special Servicer by delivering to the Special Servicer any additional information in the Master Servicer’s possession requested by the Special Servicer relating to such consent or waiver with respect to a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause. The Master Servicer shall not be permitted to process any request relating to such consent or waiver with respect to a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause (other than any transfers or assumptions provided for in clause (xiii) of the definition of Master Servicer Decision and other than any waiver of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause which waiver constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition thereof) and shall not be required to interface with the Mortgagor or provide a written recommendation and analysis with respect to any such request.

(c)       Nothing in this Section 3.08 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

(d)       Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08(a) and (b) and/or Section 3.18, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, in connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.08. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide copies of any final waivers (except with respect to provision of any such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider, exclusive of any Privileged Information) it effects pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) to each other and to the 17g-5 Information Provider with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.25) and, with respect to a Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement.

(e)       [RESERVED].

(f)       For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause other than in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.08(a) through (d) hereof. In the case of the Special Servicer, no such waiver or consent shall be made without (x) (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder having been obtained if and to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under Section 6.08(a) or (y) (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, but prior to

 -200-

the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, after having consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a).

(g)       Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, makes a determination under Section 3.08(a) or 3.08(b) that the applicable conditions in the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents, as applicable, with respect to assumptions or encumbrances permitted without the consent of the mortgagee have been satisfied, the applicable assumptions and transfers may be subject to an assumption or other fee, unless such fees are otherwise prohibited pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents; provided that any such fee not provided for in the Mortgage Loan documents does not constitute a “significant” change in yield pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(e)(2).

Section 3.09     Realization Upon Defaulted Loans and Companion Loans. (a) Upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents related to a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide written notice to the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, with a copy of such notice to the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09 and Section 3.24, subject to the Directing Certificateholder’s and the Risk Retention Consultation Party’s respective rights pursuant to Section 6.08, and any Companion Holder or mezzanine lender’s rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, on behalf of the holders of the beneficial interest of the related Companion Loan) or this Agreement, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing any such Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and related Companion Loan, if any, as come into and continue in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be required to make a Servicing Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such property unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders after reimbursement to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has not determined that such Servicing Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided that, in each case, such cost or expense would not, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make an offer on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment taking into account the factors described in Section 3.16(b) and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence, all such offers to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market

 -201-

value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan or any related defaulted Companion Loan, whether for purposes of making an offer at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to such property by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

(b)       The Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.09 unless either:

(i)        such personal property is incident 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 Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust (to the extent not allocable to the related Companion Loan) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

(c)       Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09 and Section 3.24, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and/or any related Companion Holder, would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee) the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an Environmental Assessment of such Mortgaged Property performed by an Independent Person who regularly conducts Environmental Assessments and performed within six (6) months prior to any such acquisition of title or other action, that:

(i)        such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance with such laws, and

(ii)       there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently effective federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such hazardous materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

 -202-

The cost of any such Environmental Assessment shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance and the cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance, unless it is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (in which case it shall be an expense of the Trust and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be withdrawn in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement by the Master Servicer from the Collection Account, including from the Companion Distribution Account (such withdrawal to be made from amounts on deposit therein that are otherwise payable on or allocable to such Serviced Whole Loan)); and if any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Special Servicer shall, except with respect to any Companion Loan and any Environmental Assessment ordered after such Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, perform such additional environmental testing at the expense of the Trust as it deems necessary and prudent to determine whether the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence have been satisfied. With respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, the Master Servicer and, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall review and be familiar with the terms and conditions relating to enforcing claims and shall monitor the dates by which any claim or action must be taken (including delivering any notices to the insurer and using reasonable efforts to perform any actions required under such policy) under each environmental insurance policy in effect and obtained on behalf of the mortgagee to receive the maximum proceeds available under such policy for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests).

(d)       If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above establishes that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) above of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan, and (ii) there has been no breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 4 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements for which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller could be required to repurchase such Defaulted Loan pursuant to Section 5 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder and after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in each case, (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or with respect to any AB Mortgage Loan, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an AB Control Appraisal Period, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and (B) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, provided that, if such Mortgage Loan has a then-outstanding principal balance of greater than $1,000,000, then prior to the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and in the case of the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party), in writing of its intention to so release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the

 -203-

Certificate Administrator shall have posted such notice of the Special Servicer’s intention to so release such Mortgaged Property to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and (iii) in addition to the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder as required above, the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights shall have consented or have been deemed to have consented to such release within thirty (30) days of the Certificate Administrator’s posting such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website (failure to respond by the end of such 30-day period being deemed consent of the Holders of the Certificates). To the extent any fee charged by any Rating Agency in connection with rendering such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is to be an expense of the Trust; provided that the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

(e)       The Special Servicer shall provide written reports and a copy of any Environmental Assessments in electronic format to the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in each case, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party), the Master Servicer and the 17g-5 Information Provider monthly regarding any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan, or defaulted Companion Loan as to which the environmental testing contemplated in subsection (c) above has revealed that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied, in each case until the earlier to occur of satisfaction of both such conditions, repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.

(f)       The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting to the Internal Revenue Service and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan that is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the Internal Revenue Service and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via Form 1099A or Form 1099C (or any successor form), all forgiveness of indebtedness and abandonment and foreclosure to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

(g)       The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of the maintenance of an action to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of the Mortgage Loan (and if applicable, the related Companion Loan) permit such an action.

(h)       The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by one of its Servicing Officers, of each Final Recovery Determination in respect of a Defaulted Loan (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or defaulted Companion Loan or any REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery Determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate promptly delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk

 -204-

Retention Consultation Party (but in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) and the Master Servicer and in no event later than the next succeeding P&I Advance Determination Date.

Section 3.10     Trustee and Certificate Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, will promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian and request delivery of the related Mortgage File. Any such notice and request shall be in the form of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer and shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or remitted to the Master Servicer to enable such deposit, have been or will be so deposited. Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as release can reasonably be accomplished if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer notifies the Custodian of an exigency) of receipt of such notice and request, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that in the case of the payment in full of a Serviced Companion Loan or its related Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File shall not be released by the Custodian unless the related Serviced Whole Loan is paid in full. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.

(b)       From time to time as is appropriate for servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (and any related Companion Loan), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File or any document therein to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be. Upon return of such Mortgage File or such document to the Custodian, or the delivery to the Trustee and the Custodian of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, stating that such Mortgage Loan (and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan), was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account (including amounts related to the related Companion Loan, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or will be so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Custodian to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be, with the original being released upon termination of the Trust.

(c)       Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as delivery can reasonably be accomplished if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of receipt thereof, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note (including any note evidencing a related Companion Loan) or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided

 -205-

by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. The Special Servicer shall be responsible for the preparation of all such documents and pleadings. When submitted to the Trustee for signature, such documents or pleadings shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. The Trustee shall not be required to review such documents for their sufficiency or enforceability.

(d)       If, from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer requests delivery to it of the original Mortgage Note for a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, then the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such original Mortgage Note to such Non-Serviced Master Servicer or its designee.

Section 3.11     Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Loan (other than the portion of any REO Loan related to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan) (including Specially Serviced Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan constituting a “specially serviced loan” under any related Non-Serviced PSA). As to each Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, except that if such Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Whole Loan and such Serviced Whole Loan continues to be serviced and administered under this Agreement notwithstanding such Liquidation Event, then the applicable Servicing Fee shall continue to accrue and be payable as if such Liquidation Event did not occur. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Revenues allocable as interest on each REO Loan, and as otherwise provided by Section 3.05(a). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of any Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan out of that portion of related payments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and REO Revenues (in the case of an REO Loan) allocable as recoveries of interest, to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a).

Except as set forth in the following sentence, the fourth (4th) paragraph of this Section 3.11(a), Section 6.03, Section 6.05 and Section 7.01(c), the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part (except in connection with a transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s duties and obligations hereunder to a successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof).

(ii) 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received on any Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) to the extent the Master Servicer is processing the underlying transaction and 100% of all defeasance fees (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include any Modification Fees in connection with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement); and

(iii) 100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other similar fees (other than assumption application and defeasance fees) pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) relating to Master Servicer Decisions; and for any matter for a Mortgage Loan (including any related Companion Loan) that is not a Specially Serviced Loan which matter involves a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and other similar fees.

Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d), (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to

The Master Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the Collection Account and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

If the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer will not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer. Similarly, if the Special Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Master Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had charged a fee and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such fee charged by the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association may, at its option, assign or pledge to any third party or retain for itself the Transferable Servicing Interest with respect to any Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (and any successor REO Loan); provided, however, that in the event of any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, all or any portion of the Transferable Servicing Interest may be reduced by the Trustee to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to obtain a qualified successor master servicer that meets the requirements of Section 6.05 and who requires market-rate servicing compensation that accrues at a per annum rate in excess of the Retained Fee Rate, and any such assignment of the Transferable Servicing Interest shall, by its terms be expressly subject to the terms of this Agreement and such reduction.

(b)       As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Loan relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property). As to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.05(a). The right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

(c)       The Special Servicer shall be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of

(i) 100% of all Excess Modification Fees related to modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Specially Serviced Loans,

(ii) 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received with respect to Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and Serviced Companion Loans that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans to the extent the Special Servicer processes the underlying transaction,

(iii) 100% of waiver, consent and earnout fees, or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Specially Serviced Loans or certain other similar fees paid by the related Mortgagor on Specially Serviced Loans,

(iv) 100% of assumption fees and other similar fees received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans,

(v) 50% of all Excess Modification Fees and assumption, waiver, consent and earnout and other similar fees (other than assumption application fees and defeasance fees) pursuant to Section 3.08 or Section 3.18 received with respect to any Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, but including any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s)) that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans to the extent that the matter involves a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision, and

and shall be promptly paid to the Special Servicer by the Master Servicer (or directly from the related Mortgagor) to the extent such fees are paid by the Mortgagor and shall not be required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). Subject to Section 3.11(d),

 -209-

the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d) and (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the REO Account and Loss of Value Reserve Fund in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date). In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, and only to the extent actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Corrected Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan; provided, however, that after receipt by the Special Servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Loan in an amount equal to $25,000, any Workout Fees in excess of such amount shall be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount received by the Special Servicer; provided, further, however, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout calculated at the Workout Fee Rate is less than $25,000, then the Special Servicer shall be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) being equal to $25,000. The Workout Fee shall be reduced (but not below zero) with respect to each collection on such Corrected Loan from which fee would otherwise be payable until an amount equal to the Excess Modification Fee Amount has been deducted in full. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans or any related Companion Loan that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. If the Special Servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Loans for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had determined to grant a forbearance or cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three (3) consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three (3) consecutive timely Periodic Payments. The successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The Special Servicer will not be entitled to receive any Workout Fees after termination for cause. A Liquidation Fee will be payable with respect to (a) each Specially Serviced Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) as to which the Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and (b) each Mortgaged Loan repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller

 -210-

or for which a Loss of Value Payment was paid, in each case, subject to the exceptions set forth in the definition of Liquidation Fee (such Liquidation Fee to be paid out of such Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds). If, however, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds are received with respect to any Corrected Loan and the Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest on such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to proceeds on any Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Companion Loan, the Liquidation Fee, Workout Fee and Special Servicing Fees, if any, will be computed as provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement or to the extent such Intercreditor Agreement is silent or refers to this Agreement or indicates such fees are paid in accordance with this Agreement, as provided herein as though such Companion Loan were a Mortgage Loan. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer will also be entitled to additional fees in the form of Penalty Charges. The Special Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts, other than management fees in respect of REO Properties, due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not expressly payable directly out of the Collection Account or the REO Account, and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

With respect to any of the preceding fees as to which both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right in their sole discretion, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion of such fee; provided, that (A) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the portion of any such fee due to the other and (B) to the extent either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion in any such fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge its respective portion of such fee will not have any right to share in any part of the other party’s portion of such fee. If the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer will not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer. Similarly, if the Special Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Master Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had charged a fee and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such fee charged by the Master Servicer.

(d)       In determining the compensation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate Penalty Charges collected on any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Companion Loan since the prior Distribution Date shall be applied (in such order) to reimburse (i) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee for interest on Advances on such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, if applicable (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the

 -211-

applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee for interest on the servicing advances made by any such party with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement) due on such Distribution Date, (ii) the Trust for all interest on Advances previously paid to the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related trust for all interest on servicing advances reimbursed by such trust to any party under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, which resulted in an additional expense for the Trust, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, if applicable and (iii) the Trust for all additional expenses of the Trust (other than Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees), including without limitation, inspections by the Special Servicer and all unpaid Advances incurred since the Closing Date with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Penalty Charges (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, which shall be payable as additional servicing compensation under the related Non-Serviced PSA) remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Master Servicer, if and to the extent accrued while such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan was a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, and to the Special Servicer, if and to the extent accrued on such Mortgage Loan during the period such Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan. Any Penalty Charges paid or payable as additional servicing compensation to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be distributed between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, on a pro rata basis, based on the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s respective entitlements to such compensation described in the previous sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, Penalty Charges with respect to any Companion Loan will be allocated pursuant to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement after payment of all related Advances and interest thereon and additional expenses of the Trust in accordance with this Section 3.11(d).

(e)       With respect to each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days following the Determination Date, and the Master Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received, to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and on the related Remittance Date, an electronic report (which may include HTML, Word or Excel compatible format, clean and searchable PDF format or such other format as mutually agreeable between the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer) that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date; provided that no such report shall be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.

(f)       The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Mortgagor, any property manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Mortgage Loan and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this

 -212-

Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.11; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.

(g)       Pursuant to the CREFC^® License Agreement, CREFC^® shall be paid (according to the payment instructions set forth on Exhibit II hereto or such other payment instructions as CREFC^® may provide to the Master Servicer in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Remittance Date) the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee on a monthly basis. The Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and, to the extent sufficient funds are on deposit therein, pay the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee to CREFC^® in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(xii) on a monthly basis, from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

The cost of such inspection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust, and, to the extent not paid by the related Mortgagor, reimbursed first from Penalty Charges actually received from the related Mortgagor and then from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii), provided that, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, such cost shall be payable, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement (i) with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pro rata and pari passu, from the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in accordance with their respective outstanding principal balances, or (ii) with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, first, from the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan(s) and then, from the Serviced AB Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans on a pro rata and pari passu basis (provided that, with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan, the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise modify the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to which any amounts collected with respect to the related Whole Loan are allocated to the related Serviced AB Mortgage Loan, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans and the AB Subordinate Companion Loans), in each case, prior to being payable out of general collections.

If the CREFC^® Schedule AL File is not provided by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the P&I Advance Date, the Certificate Administrator shall request such CREFC^® Schedule AL File from the Master Servicer via email at ssreports@wellsfargo.com with a copy to the Depositor at CRRCompliance@wellsfargo.com.

The Master Servicer may concurrently with the delivery of the related CREFC^® Schedule AL File, deliver any related Schedule AL Additional File in EDGAR-Compatible Format to the Certificate Administrator. The CREFC^® Schedule AL File and the Schedule AL Additional File shall each be a single file.

The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to review, redact, reconcile, edit or verify the content, completeness or accuracy of the information contained in any CREFC^® Schedule AL File or any Schedule AL Additional File.

(e)       The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer the reports and information required of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c), and the Master Servicer shall deliver or make available to the Certificate Administrator the reports and data files set forth in Section 3.12(d). The Master Servicer may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c). The Certificate Administrator may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(d). In the case of information or reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.12(d), to the extent that such information or reports are, in turn, based on information or reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) and to the extent that such reports are to be prepared and delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c), the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to provide such information or reports to the Certificate Administrator until it has received the requisite information or reports from the Special Servicer,

 -217-

and the Master Servicer shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing the reports required by Section 3.12(d) caused by the Special Servicer’s failure to timely provide any information or report required under Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement.

(f)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by this Section 3.12 shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.12 to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may disclose any such information or any additional information to any Person so long as such disclosure is consistent with applicable law and the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).

(g)       Unless otherwise specifically stated herein, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required to deliver or make available any statement, report or information under any provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may satisfy such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such statement, report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or information in a commonly used electronic format or (z) making such statement, report or information available on the Master Servicer’s website (with respect to items delivered by the Master Servicer (except with respect to items delivered by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator)) or the Certificate Administrator’s Website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver any required statements, reports or other information to the Certificate Administrator in an electronic format mutually agreeable to the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may physically deliver a paper copy of any such statement, report or information as a temporary measure due to system problems, however, copies in electronic format shall follow upon the correction of such system problems.

Section 3.13     Access to Certain Information. (a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide or cause to be provided to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall afford access to any Mortgage Loan Seller and to any Certificateholder that is a federally insured financial institution, the OCC, the FDIC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any such Certificateholder, and to each Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate, access to any documentation or information regarding the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a portion of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan, and the Trust within its control which may be required by

 -218-

applicable law. At the election of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, such access may be afforded to such Person identified above by the delivery of copies of information as requested by such Person and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to require payment (other than from the Directing Certificateholder and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator on its own behalf or on behalf of the Certificateholders, as applicable) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by it in making such copies. Such access shall (except as described in the preceding sentence) be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian.

The failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.13 as a result of a confidentiality obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.13. In connection with providing information pursuant to this Section 3.13, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer may each (i) affix a reasonable disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto); (ii) affix to any information provided by it a reasonable statement regarding securities law restrictions on such information and/or condition access to information on (x) the execution of a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit X, or (y) execution of a “click-through” confidentiality agreement if such information is being provided through the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s website; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and/or (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan if the disclosure of such items is prohibited by applicable law or the provisions of any related Mortgage Loan documents or would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by it pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard, that such disclosure would violate applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans or the Mortgaged Properties, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or otherwise materially harm the Trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may refrain from disclosing information that it reasonably determines would prejudice the interest of the Certificateholders with respect to a workout or exercise of remedies as to any particular Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in the next succeeding paragraph, upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder (or with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan related to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan) that has delivered an Investor Certification to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, may provide (or make available electronically) or make available at the expense of such Certificateholder or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, copies of any appraisals, operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements (in each case, solely

 -219-

relating to the related Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced AB Whole Loan, if requested by the holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as the case may be) obtained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that, in connection with such request, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, generally to the effect that such Person will keep such information confidential and shall use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, may have under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (other than as permitted in the preceding paragraph with respect to any Certificateholder or as specifically provided for herein with respect to the Directing Certificateholder), unless required by applicable law or court order, no Certificateholder (except, with respect to a Mortgage Loan Seller, to the extent necessary for such party to comply with its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and except for the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, acting in such capacities) or beneficial owner shall be given access to, or be provided copies of, the Mortgage Files or Diligence Files.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to

conclusively assume that the Directing Certificateholder and all beneficial owners of the Certificates of the Controlling Class are not Excluded Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, has received a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any communication to the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder or disclosure of any information relating to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan (including any related Excluded Information delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website) if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, did not receive prior written notice that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Loan and/or, with respect to any related Excluded Information posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, such information was not delivered to the Certificate Administrator in accordance with Section 3.33.

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B that it is not or is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. To the extent the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such Excluded Information, the Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any such Excluded Information to (A) the related Borrower Party, (B) any related Excluded Controlling Class Holder, (C) any employees or personnel of the Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder or any of its Affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (D) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above.

Holder of an RR Interest shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any such information to (A) the related Borrower Party, (B) any employees or personnel of such Risk Retention Consultation Party or Holder of an RR Interest or any of its Affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (C) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above. For the avoidance of doubt, any file or report contained in the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package (CREFC^® IRP) (other than the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File relating to any such Excluded Loan) shall be considered information that is aggregated with information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level. For avoidance of doubt, the covenants and restrictions in this paragraph are not applicable to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting in its capacity as Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to (i) indicate the source of such information and affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its discretion and/or (ii) require that the recipient of such information (A) except for the Depositor and the Rating Agencies, enter into (x) an Investor Certification, (y) a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit X or (z) a “click-through” confidentiality agreement if such information is being provided through the Master Servicer’s website, and (B) acknowledge that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may contemporaneously provide such information to any other Disclosure Party.

In connection with providing access to or copies of the information described in this Section 3.13(f) to current or prospective Certificateholders, the form of confidentiality agreement used by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be: (i) in the case of a Certificateholder, an Investor Certification executed by the requesting Person indicating that such Person is a Holder of Certificates and will keep such information confidential (except that such Certificateholder may provide such information (x) to its auditors, legal counsel and regulators and (y) to any other Person that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Certificate or interest therein (provided that such other Person confirms in writing such ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and agrees to keep such information confidential)); and (ii) in the case of a prospective purchaser of Certificates or interests therein or an investment advisor related thereto, an Investor Certification indicating that such Person is a prospective purchaser of a Certificate or an interest therein or an investment advisor related thereto and is requesting the information for use in evaluating a possible investment in Certificates and will otherwise keep such information confidential with no further dissemination (except that such Certificateholder may provide such information to its auditors, legal counsel and regulators).

The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such written summary on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.13(c).

(h)       The Special Servicer, subject to the limitations on delivery of Privileged Communications, shall deliver to the Operating Advisor such reports and other information produced or otherwise available to the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in each case, other than, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, any Asset Status Reports that are not Final Asset Status Reports), or Certificateholders generally, requested by the Operating Advisor in support of the performance of its obligations under this Agreement in electronic format.

(i)        None of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 3.13 or otherwise in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict oral or written communications, or providing information, between the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and any Rating Agency or NRSRO, on the other hand, with regard to (i) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s review of the ratings it assigns to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, (ii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s approval of the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a commercial mortgage master, special or primary servicer, or (iii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s evaluation of the Master Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, servicing operations in general; provided that the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not provide any information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans, to any Rating Agency or NRSRO in connection with such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency or NRSRO unless (x) Mortgagor, property and other deal specific identifiers are redacted; (y) such information has already been provided to the 17g-5

 -231-

Information Provider and has been uploaded on to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website or (z) the Rating Agency confirms that it does not intend to use such information in undertaking credit rating surveillance with respect to the Certificates; provided, however, that the Rating Agencies may use information delivered under this clause (z) for any purpose to the extent it is publicly available (unless the availability results from a breach of this Agreement) or comprised of information collected by the applicable Rating Agency from the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website (or another 17g-5 information provider’s website that they have access to) other than pursuant to this Section 3.13(i).

(j)       The costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 3.13 by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and any other party hereto shall not be additional expenses of the Trust, but shall be borne by the applicable party hereto.

Section 3.14     Title to REO Property; REO Account. (a) If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired (directly or through a single member limited liability company established for that purpose) and thus becomes REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued in the name of the Trust where permitted by applicable law or regulation and consistent with customary servicing procedures, and otherwise, in the name of the Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion Holders, in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan. REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.14. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer either (i) applies for a qualifying extension of time no later than sixty (60) days prior to the close of the third calendar year in which it acquired ownership (or the period provided in the then-applicable REMIC Provisions) and such extension is granted or is not denied (an “REO Extension”) by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property or (ii) obtains for the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which acquisition occurred will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. If the Special Servicer is granted or not denied the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

(b)       The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more REO Accounts, held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders

 -232-

and, if applicable, on behalf of any related Companion Holder(s), as applicable, as their interest shall appear, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), for the retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property. The REO Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the REO Account, prior to each Determination Date, all REO Revenues, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of an REO Property. Funds in the REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the Master Servicer of the location of the REO Account when first established and of the new location of the REO Account prior to any change thereof.

(c)       The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management, insuring, leasing, maintenance and disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in the REO Account relating to such REO Property. On the later of the date that is (x) on or prior to each Determination Date or (y) two (2) Business Days after such amounts are received and properly identified and determined to be available (or, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on the Business Day preceding each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date), the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer, which shall deposit into the Collection Account (or the Companion Distribution Account, as applicable), the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each REO Property during the most recently ended Collection Period, net of (i) any withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence and (ii) Net Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the REO Account; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may retain in such REO Account, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, such portion of such balance as may be necessary to maintain a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, leasing, management and tenant improvements and other related expenses for the related REO Property. In addition, on or prior to the day the Special Servicer remits fund as provided in this Section 3.14, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with a written accounting of amounts remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account on such date. The Master Servicer shall apply all such amounts as instructed by the Special Servicer on the Determination Date (or with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date) for the related Distribution Date.

(d)       The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records, on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits to, and withdrawals from, the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(b) or Section 3.14(c).

Section 3.15     Management of REO Property. (a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect, operate and lease such REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) solely for the purpose of its timely disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust or any Serviced Companion Noteholder of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or result in an Adverse REMIC Event. Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all

 -233-

things in connection therewith as are in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s)) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loan, as the case may be) (as determined by the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.15. Subject to this Section 3.15, the Special Servicer may allow the Trust or any commercial mortgage securitization that holds any Serviced Companion Loan to earn “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(d) of the Code if it determines that earning such income is in the best interests of Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Companion Holder(s) on a net after-tax basis as compared with net leasing such REO Property or operating such REO Property on a different basis. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis (and in no event later than two (2) Business Days following receipt of such properly identified funds) in the REO Account all revenues received by it with respect to each REO Property and the related REO Loan, and shall withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing and maintenance of such REO Property, including, without limitation:

(i)        all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;

(ii)       all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;

(iii)      any ground rents in respect of such REO Property, if applicable; and

(iv)      all costs and expenses necessary to maintain and lease such REO Property.

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer (subject to receiving notice from the Special Servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event)) such advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances.

(b)       Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:

(i)        permit the Trust to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

 -234-

(ii)      permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;

(iii)     authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv)     Directly Operate, or allow any other Person, other than an Independent Contractor, to Directly Operate, any REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after its acquisition date;

unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held for the benefit of the Trust, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

(c)      The Special Servicer shall contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property within ninety (90) days of the acquisition date thereof, provided that:

(i)       the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm’s length;

(ii)      the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be an expense of the Trust) shall be reasonable and customary in light of the nature and locality of the Mortgaged Property;

(iii)     any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including, without limitation, those listed in subsection (a) hereof, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;

(iv)     none of the provisions of this Section 3.15(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(v)      the Special Servicer shall be obligated to manage and supervise such Independent Contractor in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

 -235-

(d)       When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO Property in accordance with Sections 3.15(a) and 3.15(b).

Section 3.16     Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties. (a) (i) Within thirty (30) days after a Defaulted Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) an Appraisal and within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Appraisal shall determine the fair value of such Defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if the Special Servicer is then in the process of obtaining an Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall make its fair value determination as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days) after its receipt of such an Appraisal. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, adjust its fair value determination based upon changed circumstances, new information and other relevant factors, in each instance in accordance with a review of such circumstances and new information in accordance with the Servicing Standard including, without limitation, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy; provided that the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer in writing of the initial fair value determination and any adjustment to its fair value determination.

(ii)       If any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement is a Specially Serviced Loan or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, then the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) or the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) shall promptly notify in writing the other, any related Companion Holder and any related mezzanine lender, as applicable, of any events requiring notice under the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Thereafter, any related Companion Holder and related mezzanine lender, as applicable, will, notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, have the option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan and cure defaults relating thereto as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(iii)      If any Mortgage Loan not subject to an Intercreditor Agreement becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, or if the related Companion Holder or related mezzanine lender, as applicable, for any such Mortgage Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement has not previously exercised the option to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan in such manner as will be reasonably likely to maximize the value of the Defaulted Loan on a net present value basis, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust

 -236-

and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder. In the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, and such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the Special Servicer will be entitled to sell ((i) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) after consulting with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a), in each case, provided such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement (and provided that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will not be entitled to a liquidation fee), the Special Servicer will be entitled to the liquidation fee that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer would have otherwise been entitled to in connection with the sale of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than in respect of any Excluded Loan as to such party) not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. In the absence of a cash offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, the Special Servicer may purchase the Defaulted Loan for the Purchase Price or may accept the first cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Loan.

(iv)     (A) In the case of a Specially Serviced Loan as to which a default has occurred and is continuing, in the absence of any offer at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the Special Servicer for such price), the Special Servicer shall solicit offers and, subject to sub-clause (B) below, accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Loan, if the offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. If the offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror), the Trustee shall determine whether the offer constitutes a fair price unless such offer by an Interested Person (i) is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price and (ii) is the highest offer received. Absent an offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (x) it is the highest offer received and (y) at least two (2) other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall rely on the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the

 -237-

cost of any Appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee shall (at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole 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 fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable by, the Interested Person; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. The Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Specially Serviced Loan.

(B)       The Special Servicer will not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, subject to the limitations on consultation set forth in and in accordance with Section 6.08(a) (in each case, unless a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder), in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Intercreditor Agreement), that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer from any Person other than an Affiliate of the Special Servicer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations,

 -238-

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 to sell all Defaulted Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any fair value determination, to the extent required to do so pursuant to this Section 3.16, on the basis of anything other than the related Appraisal.

(v)          Unless and until any Specially Serviced Loan is sold pursuant to this Section 3.16(a), the Special Servicer shall pursue such other resolution strategies with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan, including, without limitation, workout and foreclosure, as the Special Servicer may deem appropriate, consistent with the Asset Status Report and the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions.

(b)          (i) The Special Servicer may purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such purchase shall be a purchase of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan). The Special Servicer may also offer to sell to any Person any REO Property (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such sale shall be a sale of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan), if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such a sale would be in the best economic interest of the Trust and the related Companion Holders. The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Master Servicer, each Companion Holder, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the Purchase Price and its intention to (x) purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor or (y) sell any REO Property, in which case the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for any REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer, an Affiliate of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, or an employee of either of them may act as broker in connection with the sale of any REO Property and may retain from the proceeds of such sale a brokerage commission that does not exceed the commission that would have been earned by an independent broker pursuant to a brokerage agreement entered into at arm’s length.

(A)       In the absence of any such offer as set forth in clause (i) above, the Special Servicer shall, subject to sub-clause (C) below, accept the highest offer for such REO Property received from any Person that is determined to be a fair price (1) by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, or (2) by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person unless such offer by an Interested Person (i) is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price and (ii) is the highest offer received; provided, however, that absent an offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) at least two (2) other offers are received from independent third

 -239-

parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any REO Property pursuant hereto.

(B)       The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans) (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.

(C)       In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any REO Property, the Trustee shall obtain and may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee in connection with making such determination. The reasonable cost of such Independent appraiser or other Independent expert shall be an expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser. The reasonable fees and costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person. In determining whether any offer constitutes a fair price for any REO Property, the Special Servicer or the Trustee (or, if applicable, such appraiser) shall take into account, and any appraiser or other expert in real estate matters shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the physical condition of such REO Property, the state of the local economy and the Trust’s obligation to comply with REMIC Provisions.

(ii)          Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the related Companion Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. A sale of any

 -240-

REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trust (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties of title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust) and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor nor the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust or any Certificateholder or related Companion Holder (if applicable) with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(c)       Any sale of a Defaulted Loan or any REO Property shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions or authoritative interpretations thereof made or issued subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

(d)       With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, if the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan that has become a Defaulted Loan in accordance with this Section 3.16, then the Special Servicer shall sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Special Servicer in writing. To the extent a determination is required to be made hereunder as to whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for a Serviced Whole Loan, such determination shall be made by the Trustee if the offeror is an Interested Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer will not be permitted to sell the related Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) if it becomes a defaulted Whole Loan without the written consent of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (provided that such consent is not required if the holder of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is the Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Serviced Whole Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. The holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or its representative) will be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of such Whole Loan; however, the related Mortgagor and its agents and Affiliates shall not be permitted to submit an offer at such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion Loan may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this paragraph with respect to the related Whole Loan. If the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person

 -241-

constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. 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 fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person.

(e)       (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each applicable Serviced AB Whole Loan will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as applicable. Such right of the holder of the AB Subordinate Companion Loan shall be given priority over any provision described in this Section 3.16 as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. If the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property is purchased by the holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or otherwise ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan will no longer be subject to this Agreement.

(ii)      Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, any mezzanine lender will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, as applicable, and cure defaults relating thereto, as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(f)       Unless otherwise provided in an Intercreditor Agreement the sale of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16 will be on a servicing released basis.

(g)      In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has the right to purchase any Companion Loan on behalf of the Trust pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall exercise such right.

Section 3.17     Additional Obligations of Master Servicer and Special Servicer. (a) The Master Servicer shall deliver all Compensating Interest Payments (other than the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall deliver the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the Companion Paying Agent for deposit in the Companion Distribution Account on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.

 -242-

(b)       The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to each Companion Holder any reports or notices required to be delivered to such Companion Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(c)       Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) immediately, as an accommodation may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one month collection period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (provided that, other than in the case of an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder), and any election to so defer or not to defer shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent collection period (subject, again, to the same sole option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other collections). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans to be received until the end of such Collection Period before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof; provided, however, that if, at any time the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a Collection Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on or in respect of Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider fifteen (15) days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, which shall mean that (i) the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion that waiting fifteen (15) days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (i) above, or (iii) in the case of the Master Servicer, it has not timely received from the Trustee information required by the Master Servicer to determine whether to defer

 -243-

reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Advance. If any of the circumstances described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the foregoing sentence apply, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall give the 17g-5 Information Provider a notice for posting of the anticipated reimbursement as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required by the preceding or second preceding sentence shall in no way affect the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or right to obtain such reimbursement as described in this Section 3.17(c). Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of any principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v). The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expenses resulting from any notice provided to the Rating Agencies contemplated by this Section 3.17(c).

The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this Section 3.17 or to comply with the terms of this Section 3.17 and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made; provided, however, that the fact that a decision to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other classes shall not, with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard and/or with respect to the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders or any contractual obligation hereunder. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines, in its sole discretion, to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances immediately instead of deferring such reimbursement, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date (deemed first from principal and then from interest). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more collection periods shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as the case may be, agreement to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise) and accrued interest thereon. In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Companion Holders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this Section 3.17 or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election, nor shall such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any

 -244-

liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an election, that is authorized under this Section 3.17(c).

No determination by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to exercise its sole option to defer the reimbursement of Advances and/or interest thereon under this section shall be construed as an agreement by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to subordinate (in respect of realizing losses), to any Class of Certificates, such party’s right to such reimbursement during such period of deferral.

With respect to any modification or amendment of any Intercreditor Agreement related to a Serviced Whole Loan (to the extent received), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the 17g-5 Information Provider a copy of any such modification or amendment, which the 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

(d)       With respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), if the related loan documents permit the lender to (but do not require the lender to), at its option, prior to an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), apply amounts held in any reserve account as a prepayment or hold such amounts in a reserve account, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may not apply such amounts as a prepayment, and will instead continue to hold such amounts in the applicable reserve account, unless not applying those amounts as a prepayment would be a violation of the Servicing Standard. Such amount may be used, if permitted under the loan documents, to defease the loan, or may be used to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), or for other purpose consistent with the Servicing Standard and the loan documents, upon a subsequent default.

(e)       Within one (1) Business Day after the execution of any amendment or modification of any Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide to the Certificate Administrator a copy of any such modification or amendment of any Intercreditor Agreement, and such amendment or modification shall be a Reportable Event.

Section 3.18     Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents. (a) The Special Servicer shall process waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and all such matters that involve a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision for all Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) that are not Specially Serviced Loans, and the Master Servicer shall process waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan and does not involve a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision. Except as set forth in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), this Section 3.18(a), Section 3.18(d), Section 3.18(h), Section 3.18(i), Section 3.18(m) and Section 6.08, but subject to any other conditions set forth thereunder and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any Serviced Whole Loan (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder, as applicable, to advise or consult with the Special Servicer with respect to, or to consent to, a modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), the Special Servicer shall not

 -245-

modify, waive or amend the terms of a Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan that would constitute a Major Decision without (x) (i) prior to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder having been obtained by the Special Servicer to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under, Section 6.08(a) or (y) (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer having consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a); and provided, further, that no extension entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18(a) shall extend the Maturity Date beyond the earlier of (i) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the Ground Lease, ten (10) years, prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate. If such extension would extend the Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan for more than twelve (12) months from and after the original Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan and such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, prior to any such extension, (1) the Special Servicer shall provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party), with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if not required or permitted to be paid by the Mortgagor, to be paid as an expense of the Trust in accordance with Section 3.11(d)) that such extension would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (2) subject to the Servicing Standard, (x) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the Special Servicer shall obtain the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder, (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, consult with the Directing Certificateholder and (z) (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in each case, pursuant to the process described in Section 6.08(a).

Additionally, the Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of any Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan that would constitute a Special Servicer Decision under any of clauses (d), (e), (f) and (g) of the definition of “Special Servicer Decision” unless (x) (i) prior to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with

 -246-

respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder has consented in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or, with respect to clause (g) of the definition of “Special Servicer Decision”, five (5) business days) after the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt of the Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent (provided that if such written consent has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day (or five (5) Business Day, as applicable) period, then the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have approved such action) or (y) (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer having consulted with the Directing Certificateholder. In the event the Special Servicer receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder within ten (10) Business Days (or, with respect to clause (g) of the definition of “Special Servicer Decision”, five (5) business days) following its written request for input on any required consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder, as applicable, on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond shall not relieve the Special Servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder) or Serviced Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder to advise the Master Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, without the consent of the Special Servicer or the Directing Certificateholder, may modify or amend the terms of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan in order to (i) cure any ambiguity or mistake therein or (ii) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or correct any error; provided that, if the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, such modification or amendment would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

Subject to Section 6.08, applicable law and the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for one or more other parcels of real property at any time the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable unless (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, obtains Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and delivers such Rating Agency Confirmation to the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if permitted by the applicable Rating Agency) and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency

 -247-

confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25)) and (ii) such substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may obtain and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor if not prohibited by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and if so prohibited, at the expense of the Trust) with respect thereto).

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in this Section 3.18(a) that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such request to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and except as provided in the next sentence, the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision. The Master Servicer will deliver to the Special Servicer any additional information in the Master Servicer’s possession requested by the Special Servicer relating to such Major Decision. The Master Servicer shall not be permitted to process any such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision and shall not be required to interface with the Mortgagor or provide a written recommendation and/or analysis with respect to any such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision.

(b)       If the Special Servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the forgiveness or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution of collateral pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan or otherwise, the release of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which a payment default or other material default has occurred or a payment default or other material default is, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Special Servicer), is reasonably likely to produce a greater (or equivalent) recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the Trust and, if applicable, the Companion Holders, as the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan, then the Special Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Loan, subject to (w) the provisions of this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (x) with respect to any such Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the approval of the Directing Certificateholder (or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder) as provided in Section 6.08, (y) with respect to any such Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, upon consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party as provided in Section 6.08, and (z) additionally, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder or with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with mezzanine debt, the rights of the related mezzanine lender, to advise or

 -248-

consult with the Special Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, as applicable; provided that with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, the related Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder will be required to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Directing Certificateholder shall have no consent or consultation rights, and the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no consultation rights, regarding the matter; provided, further, that in the case of any release or substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance), the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such release or substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the related Mortgage Loan documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related Mortgagor of) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Mortgage Loan, then such calculation shall, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any, as determined by an appropriate third party.

If, following any such release or taking, the loan-to-value ratio as calculated is greater than 125%, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall require payment of principal by a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor provisions, unless the related Mortgagor provides an Opinion of Counsel that if such amount is not paid, the related Mortgage Loan will not fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.

The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to the extent possible to cause each Specially Serviced Loan to fully amortize prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and shall not agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment would (1) extend the maturity date of any such Specially Serviced Loan to a date occurring later than the earlier of (a) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (b) if such Specially Serviced Loan is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date occurring twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the

 -249-

remaining term of the ground lease and (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder and (B) to the extent such modification, waiver or amendment constitutes a Major Decision, after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a), (in each case, other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party), ten (10) years prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate (including any options to extend such leasehold estate exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor), or (2) provide for the deferral of interest unless interest accrues on the related Mortgage Loan, or Serviced Whole Loan generally at the related Mortgage Rate.

(c)       Any provision of this Section 3.18 to the contrary notwithstanding, except when a Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan is in default or default with respect thereto is reasonably foreseeable, no fee described in this Section 3.18 shall be collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer from a Mortgagor (or on behalf of the Mortgagor) in conjunction with any consent or any modification, waiver or amendment of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable (unless the amount thereof is specified in the related Mortgage Note) if the collection of such fee would cause such consent, modification, waiver or amendment to be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Note within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

(d)       To the extent consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the first sentence of Section 3.18(a), and Section 6.08), the Master Servicer (as provided in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b) and Section 3.18 if such matter constitutes a Master Servicer Decision) or the Special Servicer (as provided in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b) and Section 3.18(a) if any such waiver, modification or amendment constitutes a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision or relates to a Specially Serviced Loan) may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable only if the contemplated waiver, modification or amendment (i) will not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (ii) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. In making this determination, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may obtain and rely upon (and shall provide to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator if obtained) an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to be paid out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor or such other Person to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the payment of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge or the requirement that any prepayment of a Mortgage Loan be made on a Due Date, or if not made on a Due Date, be accompanied by all interest that would be due on the next Due Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan.

(e)       Subject to Section 3.18(c), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each may, as a condition to its granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification (including extensions), waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which

 -250-

is within the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such Mortgagor pay to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable or customary fee, for the additional services performed in connection with such request; provided that the charging of such fee is not a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

(f)       All modifications (including extensions), waivers and amendments of the Mortgage Loans and/or Companion Loans entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall be in writing, signed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and the related Mortgagor (and by any guarantor of the related Mortgage Loan, if such guarantor’s signature is required by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard).

(g)       With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.18, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event), the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, other than following the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and in the case of the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party), the applicable Companion Holder (unless, with respect to a holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, an AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred, if applicable), the related Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Mortgage Loan Seller is not the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) in writing of any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) of any term of any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan that is modified, waived or amended and the date thereof. With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.18, the Master Servicer shall provide written notice of any such modification, waiver or amendment to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer (and the Special Servicer shall forward such notice to the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and in the case of the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan as to such party), the applicable Companion Holder (unless, with respect to a holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, an AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred, if applicable) and the related Mortgage Loan Seller (so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller is not the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation Party) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)).

With respect to any modification, waiver or consent that is a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision”, if the related lease affects an area greater than or equal to 10% of net rentable area of the related Mortgaged Property and less 30% of net rentable area of the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Special Servicer a copy of the approved lease.

In the event that either (i) the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package is amended to include such information set forth above, in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and the Master Servicer confirms with the Certificate Administrator that such amended CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package enables the Certificate Administrator to include such information on Form 10-D in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator, or (ii) the Trust is no longer subject to the Exchange Act, the additional report in the form of Exhibit JJ shall no longer be required hereunder. From time to time, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator may agree on a different delivery time and format for the information set forth in this paragraph.

(h)       Subject to the consent rights and processes set forth in Section 6.08 with respect to Major Decisions, the Master Servicer shall process all defeasance transactions and shall be entitled to all defeasance fees paid related thereto (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit (or, with regard to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, take any act in furtherance of) the substitution of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Master Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral consisting of government securities

 -252-

within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due, (ii) a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the related Mortgagor shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Mortgagor shall establish a single purpose entity to act as a successor mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agencies, (v) to the extent permissible under the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs of such defeasance, including but not limited to the cost of maintaining any successor mortgagor, and (vi) to the extent permissible under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the related Mortgagor, Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25); provided, further, however, that no such confirmation from any Rating Agency shall be required to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U hereto for any Mortgage Loan that (together with any Mortgage Loans cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loans) is: (i) a Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $20,000,000, (ii) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of all Mortgage Loans a, and (iii) a Mortgage Loan that is not one of the ten (10) largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance.

(i)       Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, to the contrary, the Master Servicer may permit the substitution of “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) for any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable (or any portion thereof), in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents or Serviced Whole Loan documents, as applicable; provided that such substitution is consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Master Servicer reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause

 -253-

a default or event of default to become reasonably foreseeable and the Master Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable or Companion Loan documents or otherwise as a Trust Fund expense) to the effect that such use would not be and would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise constitute an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any Trust REMIC; and provided, further, that the requirements set forth in Section 3.18(h) (including receipt of any Rating Agency Confirmation) are satisfied; and provided, further, that such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, or the Master Servicer shall obtain Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to (i) all of the Mortgage Loans (other than The Summit Birmingham Mortgage Loan), originated or acquired by Bank of America, National Association that are subject to defeasance and (ii) all of the Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC that are subject to defeasance, each of Bank of America, National Association and Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, as applicable, has transferred to a third party or has retained on behalf of itself or an Affiliate the right to establish or designate the successor borrower and/or to purchase or cause to be purchased the related defeasance collateral (any such right or obligation, the “Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations”).

Until such time as Bank of America, National Association or Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, as applicable, provides the Master Servicer with written notice to the contrary, the notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations as to which (i) Bank of America, National Association is the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be delivered to Bank of America, National Association, One Bryant Park, New York, New York 10036, Attention: Leland F.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated or acquired by Bank of America, National Association or Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, as applicable, that is subject to defeasance, if the successor borrower is not designated or formed by Bank of America, National Association or Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, as the case may be, or any Affiliate or successor thereto, the successor borrower shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(j)        If required under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents or if otherwise consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Defeasance Accounts”), which shall be Eligible Accounts, into which all payments received by the Master Servicer from any defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Defeasance Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Defeasance Account for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, unless such amounts are reinvested by the Master Servicer in “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii). To the extent not required or permitted to be placed in a separate account, the Master Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan in advance of its Due Date in accordance with clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Aggregate Available Funds” and not as a prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account for a period in excess of three hundred sixty-five (365) days (or three hundred sixty-six (366) days in the case of a leap year).

(viii)        an analysis of whether or not taking such proposed action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination and (y) the net present value calculation and all related assumptions;

(ix)           the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property (and a copy of the last obtained Appraisal of such Mortgaged Property) together with a description of any adjustments to the valuation of such Mortgaged Property made by the Special Servicer together with an explanation of those adjustments; and

(x)            such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the Servicing Standard.

If within ten (10) Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Directing Certificateholder does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing or if the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the disapproval by the Directing Certificateholder (communicated to the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loan), the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, the Servicing Standard or the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents. If, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder disapproves such Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt and the Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such disapproval, to the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and, in the case of a Serviced AB Whole Loan, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and during an AB Control Appraisal Period with respect to the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan), the Operating Advisor (but only after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)).

 -261-

described above in this Section 3.19(d) until the Directing Certificateholder shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loan); provided that, if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved the Asset Status Report for a period of sixty (60) Business Days following the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report, if consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that such Asset Status Report does not, and is not intended to be, a substitute for the approvals that are specifically required pursuant to Section 6.08. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report; provided that such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.19(d). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with an Asset Status Report for an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class that includes a Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

No direction or disapproval of the Directing Certificateholder hereunder or under a related Intercreditor Agreement or failure of the Directing Certificateholder to consent to or approve (including any deemed consents or approvals) any request of the Special Servicer, shall (a) require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC and the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust, or (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, or (c) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or their respective officers, directors, members, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability or (d) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, the Trustee’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

If a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, if both a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and an AB Control Appraisal Period is in effect), the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder (if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party)). The Operating Advisor shall provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of the Asset Status Report, if any, within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) receipt of such Asset Status Report or (ii) receipt of such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related thereto, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the

 -262-

extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are holders of the Control Eligible Certificates), as a collective whole. The Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder (in each case, if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)) in connection with the Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder (if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party)), to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or Directing Certificateholder’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of such Companion Loan)).

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class), the Directing Certificateholder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.19. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder (except with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) and the Operating Advisor shall consult with the Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. The Directing Certificateholder (other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) (in each case, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party)), shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports and the Special Servicer shall only be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report as described above. The Special Servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period with respect to an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall prepare an Asset Status Report for any Serviced AB Whole Loan, upon it becoming a Specially Serviced Loan pursuant to this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, but the Directing Certificateholder will have no approval rights over any such Asset Status Report, and the consent or approval rights with respect to such Asset Status Report shall be as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

Any successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, hereunder shall, upon becoming a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, be assigned and may assume any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the applicable predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be (subject to Section 3.20(g)). In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer may but need not provide that the obligations of the Sub-Servicer thereunder may terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided, however, that the Sub-Servicing Agreement may provide (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) that the Sub-Servicer will continue to make all Advances and calculations and prepare all reports required under the Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and continue to collect its Primary Servicing Fees as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred and to render such incidental services with respect to such Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it, in each case promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, in such event, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as may be provided (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the Master Servicer or

 -266-

the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee and the Depositor (and the Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor) in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except that the Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.

(b)            Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of the related Mortgage Loans or the compliance with its obligations under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.

(c)            As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each of its Sub-Servicers under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the requirements of Article XI. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it pursuant to the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(d)            In the event the Trustee or its designee becomes a successor master servicer and assumes the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the Companion Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.

(e)            Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement and this Section 3.20, except to the extent provided in Article XI with respect to the obligations of any Sub-Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, holders of the Companion Loans serviced hereunder and the Certificateholders for the performance of its 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 it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible, and the Master Servicer shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer thereunder as and when due from its own funds. In no event shall the Trust bear any termination fee required to be paid to any Sub-Servicer as a result of such Sub-Servicer’s termination under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(f)             The Trustee, upon the request of the Master Servicer, shall furnish to any Sub-Servicer any documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Sub-Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.

 -267-

(g)            Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that, in the event the Trustee or any other Person becomes a successor master servicer, the Trustee or such successor master servicer shall have the right to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with or without cause and without a fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision in this Agreement, the Trustee and any successor master servicer shall assume each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement and (i) the Initial Sub-Servicer’s rights and obligations under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the Master Servicer’s servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its provisions; (ii) any successor master servicer, including, without limitation, the Trustee (if it assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically assume and agree to the then-current Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement without further action upon becoming the successor master servicer and (iii) this Agreement may not be modified in any manner which would increase the obligations or limit the rights of the Initial Sub-Servicer hereunder and/or under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Initial Sub-Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(h)            With respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall, upon request (such request to be made reasonably in advance as appropriate to the circumstances surrounding such request) of the related Sub-Servicer, reasonably cooperate in delivering reports and information, including remittance information, and affording access to information to the related Sub-Servicer that would be required to be delivered or afforded, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

(i)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement that provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations herein, without, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

Section 3.21     Interest Reserve Account.

(a)            On the P&I Advance Date occurring in each February and in any January that occurs in a year that is not a leap year (in each case, unless the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator, in respect of the Actual/360 Mortgage Loans, shall deposit into the Interest Reserve Account, an amount equal to one (1) day’s interest on the Stated Principal Balance of the Actual/360 Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date occurring in the month preceding the month in which the P&I Advance Date occurs at the related Net Mortgage Rate, to the extent a full Periodic Payment or P&I Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive February and January, “Withheld Amounts”).

(b)            On each P&I Advance Date occurring in March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw,

 -268-

from the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January (if applicable) and February, if any, and deposit such amount into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

Section 3.22     Directing Certificateholder and Operating Advisor Contact with the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Within a reasonable time upon request from the Directing Certificateholder or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and no more often than on a monthly basis, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer via telephone available to verbally answer questions from (a) the Directing Certificateholder ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) and (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor (with respect to the Special Servicer only), regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.

Section 3.23     Controlling Class Certificateholders, Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party; Certain Rights and Powers of Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party. (a) Each Controlling Class Certificateholder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of the transfer of any Certificate of a Controlling Class by delivering a notice to each such Person substantially in the form of Exhibit MM attached hereto, the selection of a Directing Certificateholder or the resignation or removal thereof. The Directing Certificateholder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor when such Certificateholder is appointed Directing Certificateholder and when it is removed or resigns. To the extent there is only one Controlling Class Certificateholder and it is also the Special Servicer, it shall be the Directing Certificateholder.

On the Closing Date, the initial Directing Certificateholder shall execute a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1G to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Directing Certificateholder, any successor directing certificateholder shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1G to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Directing Certificateholder.

On the Closing Date, the initial Risk Retention Consultation Party shall execute a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1H to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Risk Retention Consultation Party, any successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1H to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(b)            Once a Directing Certificateholder has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be

 -269-

entitled to rely on such selection unless the Controlling Class Certificateholders entitled to appoint the Directing Certificateholder, by Certificate Balance, or the Directing Certificateholder shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Controlling Class Certificateholder, in writing, of the resignation of the Directing Certificateholder or the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder. In the event that (i) the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor receives written notice from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders that a Directing Certificateholder is no longer designated and (ii) the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or a representative thereof) becomes the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the proviso of the definition of “Directing Certificateholder”, then the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or its representative) shall provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor that it is the new Directing Certificateholder; provided that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to rely on the written notification provided by the purported Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class without independently verifying that such Controlling Class Certificateholder actually owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class. Additionally, once a Risk Retention Consultation Party has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Holders of the RR Interest entitled to appoint the Risk Retention Consultation Party, by Certificate Balance, or such Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Holder of the RR Interest, in writing, of the selection of a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(c)           Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(d)           In the event that no Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, has been appointed or identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator and no such entity has been identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, is identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of the Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation Party, as the case may be.

 -270-

(e)           Upon request, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, a list of each Controlling Class Certificateholder as reflected in the Certificate Register, including names and addresses. In addition to the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation Party or the existence of a new Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) RREF III Debt AIV, LP, shall be the initial Directing Certificateholder and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until a Consultation Termination Event occurs and is continuing, and (b) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall be the initial Risk Retention Consultation Party and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until a Consultation Termination Event occurs and is continuing.

Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the preceding sentence with respect to the identity of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(f)             If the Certificate Administrator determines that a Class of Book-Entry Certificates is the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Certificateholders of such Class (through the Depository) of the Class becoming the Controlling Class.

(g)            Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Directing Certificateholder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Directing Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class or in its own interest; (iii) the Directing Certificateholder does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class; (iv) the Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of one or more Classes including the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Directing Certificateholder for having so acted.

Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Risk Retention Consultation Party may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Risk Retention Consultation Party may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the RR Interest; (iii) the Risk Retention Consultation Party does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the RR Interest; (iv) the Risk Retention Consultation Party may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of one or more Classes including the RR Interest over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the

 -271-

Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Holder of an RR Interest) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Risk Retention Consultation Party or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Risk Retention Consultation Party for having so acted.

(h)            (i) All requirements of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to provide notices, reports, statements or other information (including the access to information on a website) to the Directing Certificateholder contained in this Agreement shall also apply to each Companion Holder with respect to information relating to the related Serviced AB Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection (h) shall in any way eliminate the obligation to deliver any information required to be delivered under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(i)             Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity and contact information of the Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party and any AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder.

(j)             With respect to a Serviced Whole Loan and any approval and consent rights in this Agreement with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder shall exercise such rights in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(k)            The Certificate Registrar shall determine which Class of Certificates is the then-current Controlling Class within two (2) Business Days of a request from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, or any Certificateholder and provide such information to the requesting party.

(l)             At any time that the Controlling Class Certificateholder is the Holder of a majority of the Class F Certificates and the Class F Certificates are the Controlling Class may waive its right (a) to appoint the Directing Certificateholder and (b) to exercise any of the Directing Certificateholder’s rights under this Agreement by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (which shall be via email to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during such time as a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in existence solely as a result of the operation of clause (ii) of the definition of Control Termination Event and clause (ii) of the definition of Consultation Termination Event, such Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to no longer be in existence and have not occurred with respect to any unaffiliated third party to whom the Controlling Class Certificateholder that irrevocably waived its right to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder has sold or transferred all or a portion of its interest in the Class F Certificates if such unaffiliated third party holds the majority of the Controlling Class after giving effect to such transfer (the “Non-Waiving Successor”). Following any such sale or transfer, the Non-Waiving Successor shall again have the rights of the Controlling Class

 -272-

Certificateholder as set forth herein (including the rights to appoint a Directing Certificateholder or cause the exercise of the rights of the Directing Certificateholder) without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Controlling Class Certificateholder. The Non-Waiving Successor shall also have the right to irrevocably waive its right to appoint the Directing Certificateholder and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder. The Non-Waiving Successor shall also have the right to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder. No Non-Waiving Successor described above shall have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the sale or transfer of the Class F Certificates to the Non-Waiving Successor and had not also become a Corrected Loan prior to such sale or transfer until such time as such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Loan.

(m)           Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) include on its statement made available pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement the identity of the new Controlling Class and (ii) provide to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor notice of such event and the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder (the cost of obtaining such information from DTC being an expense of the Trust). The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days of the existence or cessation of (i) any Control Termination Event or (ii) any Consultation Termination Event. Upon the Certificate Administrator’s determination that a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event has occurred or is terminated, the Certificate Administrator shall, within ten (10) Business Days, post a “special notice” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to this provision.

In the event that a Control Termination Event has occurred pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof, such special notice shall state “A Control Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates to less than 25% of the aggregate Original Certificate Balance thereof, with regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

In the event that a Consultation Termination Event has occurred pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof, such special notice shall state “A Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates to less than 25% of the aggregate Original Certificate Balance thereof, without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

In the event that a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of each of such terms, such special notice shall state “A Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the irrevocable waiver by the applicable Controlling Class Certificateholder of its rights as Controlling Class Certificateholder.”

In the event that a Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of each Class of Control Eligible Certificates below 25% of its Original Certificate Balance, in each case without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts, such special notice shall state: “A Consultation Termination Event has occurred

 -273-

because no Class of Control Eligible Certificates exists where such class’s aggregate Certificate Balance is at least equal to 25% of the Original Certificate Balance of that class, in each case without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

In the event of any transfer of a Class F Certificate, and upon notice to the Certificate Administrator in the form of Exhibit MM that results in a termination of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event, such “special notice” shall state: “A Consultation Termination Event or a Control Termination Event has been terminated and is no longer in effect due to a transfer of a majority interest of the Controlling Class Certificates to an unaffiliated third party which has terminated any waiver by the prior Holder.”

The Directing Certificateholder shall not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded Loan as to either the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class. Likewise, the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not have any consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded Loan as to either such Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Holder of the majority of the RR Interest. Notwithstanding the proviso to each of the definitions of “Control Termination Event” and “Consultation Termination Event”, in either such case, in respect of the servicing of any such Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Excluded Loan.

Section 3.24     Intercreditor Agreements. (a) The Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledge and agree that each Serviced Whole Loan being serviced under this Agreement and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt is subject to the terms and provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and each agrees to service each such Serviced Whole Loan, and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, including, without limitation, effecting distributions and allocating reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer agrees not to take any action with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, or the related Mortgaged Property without the prior consent of the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, to the extent that the related Intercreditor Agreement provides that such Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, is required or permitted to consent to such action. Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Companion Holder and each mezzanine lender or its respective designee has the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided for therein. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer further acknowledge and agree that any AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder will have the right to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan, to the extent provided for herein and in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(b)            Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for any cost, claim or damage that arises from any entitlement in favor of a Companion

 -274-

Holder or a mezzanine lender under the related Intercreditor Agreement or conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of any Intercreditor Agreement that may otherwise require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to abide by any instruction or direction of a Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to comply with any instruction or direction the compliance with which requires an Advance that constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. In no event shall any expense arising from compliance with an Intercreditor Agreement constitute an expense to be borne by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for its own account without reimbursement. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be required to consult with or obtain the consent of any Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender unless such Companion Holder or mezzanine lender has delivered notice of its identity and contact information to each of the parties to this Agreement (upon which notice each of the parties to this Agreement shall be conclusively entitled to rely). As of the Closing Date, the contact information for the Companion Holders and mezzanine lenders is as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, be required to consult with or obtain the consent of a new Directing Certificateholder or a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or consult with a new Risk Retention Consultation Party unless the Certificate Administrator has delivered notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as required under Section 3.23(e) or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, have actual knowledge of the identity and contact information of a new Directing Certificateholder, a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(c)            No direction or disapproval of the Companion Holders or any mezzanine lender shall (a) require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC and the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust, (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions or (c) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

(d)            With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Operating Advisor, the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party hereunder may have to consult with respect to any action or other matter with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan, to the extent the related Intercreditor Agreement provides that such right is exercisable by the related Companion Holder or is exercisable in conjunction with any related Companion Holder, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be permitted to exercise such right or, to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement, shall be required to exercise such right in conjunction with the related Companion Holder, as applicable (except to the extent that the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party is the related Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder). Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall consult, seek the approval or obtain the consent of the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan to the

 -275-

extent required under related Intercreditor Agreement and shall not take such actions requiring consent of the related Companion Holder without such consent. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver reports and notices to the related Companion Holder as required under the Intercreditor Agreement.

(e)            Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall be required (1) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan to the related Companion Holder, within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and (2) to consult with any related Companion Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such related Companion Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such related Companion Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such related Companion Holder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such related Companion Holder, whether or not such related Companion Holder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the related Companion Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder. In no event shall the Special Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the related Companion Holder.

(f)            In addition to the consultation rights of the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Companion Holder shall have the right to attend (in person or telephonically, in the discretion of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) annual meetings with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Whole Loan are discussed.

(g)            With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement such that the monthly

 -276-

remittance to the holder of the related Companion Loan is required earlier than 2 Business Days after receipt by the Master Servicer of the related Periodic Payment without the consent of the Master Servicer.

(h)          To the extent not otherwise expressly included herein, any provisions required to be included herein pursuant to any Intercreditor Agreement for a Whole Loan are deemed incorporated herein by reference, and the parties hereto shall comply with those provisions as if set forth herein in full.

Section 3.25     Rating Agency Confirmation. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any related Mortgage Loan documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement requires Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “RAC Requesting Party”) required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then such RAC Requesting Party shall be required to confirm (through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again. The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement as a “RAC No-Response Scenario.” Once the RAC Requesting Party has sent a request for a Rating Agency Confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider, such RAC Requesting Party may, but shall not be obligated to send such request directly to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.10(d).

If there is no response to such Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such second request in a RAC No-Response Scenario or if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation or with respect to any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, confirms its original determination (made prior to making such request) that taking the action with respect to which it requested the Rating Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer has been appointed and currently serves as a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, on a transaction-level basis on a CMBS transaction currently rated by Moody’s that currently has securities outstanding and for which Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns with respect to such replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or

 -277-

withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other CMBS transaction serviced by such replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if Moody’s is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the replacement master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the replacement special servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency or (iii) KBRA has not publicly cited servicing concerns with respect to the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other CMBS transaction serviced by such replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency.

Any Rating Agency Confirmation request made by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing, which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such written Rating Agency Confirmation request shall be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

Promptly following the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.25(a) following any requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation being deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider of the action taken for the particular item at such time, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

(b)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.25, for purposes of the provisions of any Mortgage Loan document relating to defeasance (including without limitation the type of collateral acceptable for use as defeasance collateral) or release or substitution of any collateral, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the Mortgage Loan documents for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would have been permitted to waive obtaining or to make a determination with respect to such Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to Section 3.25(a) shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist).

(c)            For all other matters or actions not specifically discussed in Section 3.25(a) above, the applicable RAC Requesting Party shall deliver Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

Section 3.26  The Operating Advisor. (a) The Operating Advisor shall promptly review (i) all information made available to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (A) that relates to any Specially Serviced Loan, and (B) that is contained in the

 -278-

CREFC^® Servicer Watch List prepared by the Master Servicer and (ii) each Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer.

(b)            The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled “Privileged Information” received from the Special Servicer or Directing Certificateholder in connection with the Directing Certificateholder’s exercise of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the review and/or approval of any Asset Status Report), subject to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement related to Privileged Information, the Operating Advisor agrees that it shall use information received from the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder.

(c)            (i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Asset Status Report and other information (other than any communications between the Directing Certificateholder and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer, including each Asset Status Report delivered during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall (if any Mortgage Loans were Specially Serviced Loans during the prior calendar year) deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider within one hundred-twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year for which a Control Termination Event was continuing as of December 31, an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit V (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Operating Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, provisions herein relating to Privileged Information; provided, however, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), setting forth the Operating Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year on a “platform-level basis” with respect to the resolution and/or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans that the Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement; provided, further, however, that in the event the Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to the Special Servicer that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, no Operating Advisor Annual Report will be permitted to include an assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance in respect of such Serviced AB Whole Loan until after the occurrence and during the continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.26(c), each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans or REO Properties that the Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement (other than with respect to any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this

 -279-

Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions); provided that the Operating Advisor shall not be required to report on any instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)); provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider. The Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to the Operating Advisor Annual Report that are provided by the Special Servicer. Only as used in this Section 3.26 in connection with the Operating Advisor Annual Report, the term “platform-level basis” refers to the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties as they relate to the resolution and/or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans, taking into account the Special Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the Operating Advisor of any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Asset Status Report and other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer (other than any communications between the Directing Certificateholder and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be required from the Operating Advisor with respect to any calendar year as to which no Asset Status Report was prepared by the Special Servicer in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property.

(ii)            In the event the Operating Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Operating Advisor Annual Report is limited or prohibited due to the failure of a party hereto to timely deliver information required to be delivered to the Operating Advisor or because such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Operating Advisor shall set forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from such limitations or prohibitions. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any such reliance hereunder. In the event a lack of access to Privileged Information limits or prohibits the Operating Advisor from performing its duties under this Agreement, the Operating Advisor shall set forth any such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from its lack of access to Privileged Information.

(d)            Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of both a Control Termination Event and a related AB Control Appraisal Period), the Special Servicer will forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount and net present value calculations used in the Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor after such calculations have

 -280-

been finalized. The Operating Advisor shall review such calculations but shall not opine on or take any affirmative action with respect to such Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and/or net present value calculations (except that if the Operating Advisor discovers a mathematical error contained in such calculations, them the Operating Advisor shall notify the Special Servicer of such error).

(e)            (i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, and with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, after the occurrence and during the continuance of both a Control Termination Event and an AB Control Appraisal Period, after the calculation but prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (ii) net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(iv), the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Communications), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.

(ii)            In connection with this Section 3.26(e), in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amount (as calculated by the Special Servicer) or net present value or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Special Servicer and provide any information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is either in the Master Servicer’s possession or, solely with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer. In the event the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement and the Certificate Administrator shall examine the calculations and supporting materials provided by the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer and determine which calculation is to apply and shall provide such parties prompt written notice of its determination.

(iii)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consultation duties of the Operating Advisor set forth in this Agreement shall not be permitted to be exercised by the Operating Advisor with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan until after the occurrence and during the continuance of both a Control Termination Event (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing

 -281-

Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) and a related AB Control Appraisal Period.

(f)            [RESERVED].

(g)            The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders other than the Directing Certificateholder), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Operating Advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and, unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and other than any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor.

(h)            Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Operating Advisor herein (including without limitation in respect of Privileged Information), the Operating Advisor shall respond to Inquiries proposed by Privileged Persons from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07(a).

(i)             As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee on each Remittance Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan (excluding each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Companion Loan) and each REO Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan, the Operating Advisor Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Operating Advisor Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on the related Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed.

The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 6.04(a) and/or 6.04(b), such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a). Each successor operating advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.

In addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Major Decision for which the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations hereunder. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable

 -282-

from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement, but, with respect to the period when the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates has not been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to such Certificates, only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor. When the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor will have no obligations or consultation rights in its capacity as operating advisor with respect to: (i) any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Property or (ii) any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of both an AB Control Appraisal Period and a Control Termination Event; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall not be entitled to an Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

(j)             After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Operating Advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) requesting a vote to replace the Operating Advisor with a replacement Operating Advisor selected by such Certificateholders (provided that the proposed replacement Operating Advisor is an Eligible Operating Advisor), (ii) payment by such requesting Holders to the Certificate Administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmations will be obtained by the Certificate Administrator at the expense of such Holders and will not constitute an additional expense of the Trust). The Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon the vote or written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable), the Trustee shall immediately replace the Operating Advisor with the replacement Operating Advisor.

(k)            After the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to

 -283-

notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Classes of Certificates), the Trustee shall promptly terminate the Operating Advisor for cause and appoint a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor; provided that no such termination shall be effective until a successor operating advisor has been appointed and has assumed all of the obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement. No such termination shall terminate, change, reduce, or otherwise modify the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor that accrued prior to such termination, including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement, and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination). The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Operating Advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. Upon any termination of the Operating Advisor and appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee will, as soon as possible, be required to give written notice of the termination and appointment to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), the Depositor, the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, any Companion Loan holder and the Certificateholders.

(l)             The Holders of Certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights affected by any Operating Advisor Termination Event hereunder may waive such Operating Advisor Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the Trustee of the occurrence of such Operating Advisor Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, such Operating Advisor Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event by certificateholders, the trustee and the certificate administrator will be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust.

(m)           Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall have the right to consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the identity of any replacement Operating Advisor appointed pursuant to this Section 3.26; provided, further, that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt of the request for consent and, if granted or deemed granted, such consent cannot thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.

(n)            The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if applicable, and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. No such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 3.26.

 -284-

(o)            In the event there are no Classes of Certificates outstanding other than the Control Eligible Certificates, the Class V Certificates, the Class R Certificates and the RR Interest, then all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor shall terminate without payment of any termination fee (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including accrued and unpaid compensation) and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination). In connection with any termination pursuant to this Section 3.26(o), no successor operating advisor shall be appointed. Upon receipt of written notice of such acts by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall provide the Operating Advisor with prompt notice upon its termination pursuant to this Section 3.26(o).

(p)            In the event the Operating Advisor resigns or is otherwise terminated for any reason it shall remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees and reimbursement of accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Expenses pursuant to Section 3.26(i) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification provided hereunder.

(q)            The parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed, that (i) subject to Section 6.04, the Operating Advisor shall have no liability to any Certificateholder for any actions taken or for refraining from taking any actions under this Agreement, (ii) the Operating Advisor shall act solely as a contracting party to the extent set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the Operating Advisor shall have no (A) fiduciary duty, or (B) other duty except with respect to its specific obligations under this Agreement, and shall have no duty to any particular class of Certificates or particular Certificateholders, and (iv) the Operating Advisor does not constitute an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

(r)             Neither the Operating Advisor nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker-dealer Affiliate of the Operating Advisor or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Operating Advisor if the Operating Advisor and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Operating Advisor and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

(s)            The Operating Advisor shall at all times be an Eligible Operating Advisor and if the Operating Advisor ceases to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, the Operating Advisor shall immediately resign under Section 3.26(n) of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor operating advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.26. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor operating advisor within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement.

(t)             The Operating Advisor may delegate its duties and obligations to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or

 -285-

subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement related to the Operating Advisor’s duties and obligations; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with a Sponsor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Operating Advisor shall remain obligated and primarily liable for its obligations hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Operating Advisor alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Operating Advisor by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(u)           With respect to the determination of whether a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, or has terminated, the Operating Advisor is entitled to rely solely on its receipt from the Certificate Administrator of notice thereof pursuant to Section 3.23(m), and, with respect to any obligations of the Operating Advisor that are performed only after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and/or Consultation Termination Event, the Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to perform any such duties until the receipt of such notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, as applicable.

Section 3.27     Companion Paying Agent. (a) With respect to each of the Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer shall be the Companion Paying Agent hereunder. The Companion Paying Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.

(b)            No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Companion Paying Agent from liability for its negligent failure to act, bad faith or its own willful misfeasance; provided, however, that the duties and obligations of the Companion Paying Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. The Companion Paying Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Companion Paying Agent. In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Companion Paying Agent, the Companion Paying Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth and correctness of the statements or conclusions expressed therein, upon any resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instrument furnished to the Companion Paying Agent by any Person and which on their face do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement.

(c)            In the case of each of the Serviced Companion Loans, upon the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, the

 -286-

Master Servicer, as the Companion Paying Agent, shall be deemed simultaneously to resign or be removed.

(d)            This Section 3.27 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Companion Paying Agent, as regards to rights accrued prior to such resignation or removal.

Section 3.28     Serviced Companion Noteholder Register. The Companion Paying Agent shall maintain a register (the “Serviced Companion Noteholder Register”) with respect to each Serviced Companion Loan on which it will record the names and address of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Serviced Companion Noteholders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to it by each Serviced Companion Noteholder. The initial Serviced Companion Noteholders, along with their respective name and address, are listed on Exhibit S hereto. In the event a Serviced Companion Noteholder transfers a Serviced Companion Loan without notice to the Companion Paying Agent, the Companion Paying Agent shall have no liability for any misdirected payment in such Serviced Companion Loan and shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment.

The Companion Paying Agent shall promptly provide the name and address of any Serviced Companion Noteholder to any party hereto or any successor Serviced Companion Noteholder upon written request and any such Person may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information. The Companion Paying Agent shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such name and address.

For the avoidance of doubt, any notices or information required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement by any party hereto to a Serviced Companion Noteholder with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan that has been included in an Other Securitization shall be provided to the Other Servicer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.29     Certain Matters Relating to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans.

Section 3.32     Litigation Control. (a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any Serviced Companion Loan or any related REO Loan or related REO Property, the Special Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, direct, manage, prosecute and/or defend any action brought by a Mortgagor, guarantor, or other obligor on the related Note or any Affiliates thereof (each a “Borrower-Related Party”) against the Trust, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer or any predecessor master servicer or special servicer, and represent the interests of the Trust in any litigation relating to the rights and obligations of the Trust, or of the Mortgagor or other Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or other collateral securing such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), or otherwise with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents (“Trust-Related Litigation”). In the event that the Master Servicer is named in any Trust-Related Litigation but the Special Servicer is not named in such Trust-Related Litigation (regardless of whether the Trust is named in such Trust-Related Litigation), the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer of such litigation as soon as practicable but in any event no later than within ten (10) Business Days of the Master Servicer receiving service of such Trust-Related Litigation.

(b)            To the extent the Master Servicer is named in the Trust-Related Litigation, and neither the Trust nor the Special Servicer is named, in order to effectuate the role of the Special Servicer as contemplated by the immediately preceding Section 3.32(a), the Master Servicer shall (i) provide monthly status reports to the Special Servicer, regarding such Trust-Related Litigation; (ii) seek to have the Trust replace the Master Servicer as the appropriate party to the lawsuit; and (iii) so long as the Master Servicer remains a party to the lawsuit, consult with and act at the direction of the Special Servicer with respect to decisions and resolutions related to the interests of the Trust in such Trust-Related Litigation, including but not limited to the selection of counsel; provided that the Master Servicer shall have the right to engage separate counsel relating to claims against the Master Servicer to the extent set forth in Section 3.32(e); and provided, however, that if there are claims against the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer has not determined that separate counsel is required for such claims, such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer.

(c)            The Special Servicer shall not (i) undertake (or direct the Master Servicer to undertake) any material settlement of any Trust-Related Litigation or (ii) initiate any material Trust-Related Litigation unless and until it has notified in writing the Directing Certificateholder (only if the related Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) (to the extent the identity of the Directing Certificateholder is actually known to the Special Servicer; provided that the Special Servicer shall make due inquiry of the Certificate Administrator as to the identity of the Directing Certificateholder) and the related holder of any Serviced Companion Loan (if such matter affects such related Serviced Companion Loan) (to the extent the identity of the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan is actually known to the Special Servicer), and the Directing Certificateholder (only if the related Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class and prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Control Termination Event) has not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days of having been notified thereof and having been provided with all information that the Directing Certificateholder has reasonably requested with respect thereto

 -290-

promptly following its receipt of the subject notice (it being understood and agreed that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such five (5) Business Day period, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have approved the taking of such action); provided that, if the Special Servicer determines (consistent with the Servicing Standard) that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders, the Special Servicer may take such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response.

(d)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party (or any other party to this Agreement) that would require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC, result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s or the Master Servicer’s, as the case may be, responsibilities under this Agreement.

(e)            Notwithstanding the right of the Special Servicer to represent the interests of the Trust in Trust-Related Litigation, and subject to the rights of the Special Servicer to direct the Master Servicer’s actions in this Section 3.32, the Master Servicer shall retain the right to make determinations relating to claims against the Master Servicer, including but not limited to the right to engage separate counsel and to appear in any proceeding on its own behalf in the Master Servicer’s reasonable discretion, the cost of which shall be subject to indemnification as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.

(f)             Further, nothing in this section shall require the Master Servicer to take or fail to take any action which, in the Master Servicer’s good faith and reasonable judgment, may (i) result in a violation of the REMIC Provisions or (ii) subject the Master Servicer to liability or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.

(g)            Notwithstanding the Master Servicer’s right to make determinations relating to claims against the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall have the right at any time in accordance with the Servicing Standard to (i) direct the Master Servicer to settle any claims asserted against the Master Servicer (whether or not the Trust or the Special Servicer is named in any such claims or Trust-Related Litigation) (and with respect to any material settlements, with the consent of or in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, respectively (in each case, other than a Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party)) and (ii) otherwise reasonably direct the actions of the Master Servicer relating to claims against the Master Servicer (whether or not the Trust or the Special Servicer is named in any such claims or Trust-Related Litigation), provided in either case that (A) such settlement or other direction does not require any admission

 -291-

of liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Master Servicer, (B) the cost of such settlement or any resulting judgment is and shall be paid by the Trust and payment of such cost or judgment is provided for in this Agreement, (C) the Master Servicer is and shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in this Agreement for all costs and expenses of the Master Servicer incurred in defending and settling the Trust-Related Litigation and for any judgment, (D) any such action taken by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer shall be deemed (as to the Master Servicer) to be in compliance with the Servicing Standard and (E) the Special Servicer provides the Master Servicer with assurance reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer as to the items in clauses (A), (B) and (C).

(h)            In the event both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or Trust are named in Trust-Related Litigation, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate with each other to afford the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights afforded to such party in this Section 3.32.

This Section 3.32 shall not apply in the event the Special Servicer authorizes the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer agrees (both authority and agreement to be in writing), to make certain decisions or control certain Trust-Related Litigation on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee in its individual capacity, or in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee in its individual capacity, the Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (ii) in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, (A) initiate an action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee, whether in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Trustee, or (C) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar actions with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Trustee to grant such consent); and (iii) in the event that any court finds that the Trustee is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests, whether as Trustee or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.32(h) shall be interpreted to preclude the Special Servicer (with respect to any material Trust-Related Litigation, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, respectively, to the extent required in Section 3.32(c) and only to the extent such Mortgage Loan is not an

 -292-

Excluded Loan as to such party) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as representative of the Trustee of the Trust.

Section 3.33     Delivery of Excluded Information to the Certificate Administrator. Any Excluded Information that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor identifies and delivers to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator via e-mail (or such other electronic means as is mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled “Excluded Information” followed by the applicable loan name and loan file to cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com. For the avoidance of doubt, any information that is not appropriately labeled and delivered in accordance with this Section 3.33 shall not be separately posted as Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and any information appropriately labeled and delivered to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 3.33 shall be posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website under the “Excluded Information” section, as provided under Section 3.13. When so posted, the Excluded Controlling Class Holders shall be prohibited from the access of Excluded Information with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loans on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans). None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligations to separately label and deliver any Excluded Information in accordance with this Section 3.33 until such party has received written notice with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan in the form of Exhibit P-1E to this Agreement. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving, requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, the Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be permitted to obtain such information in accordance with Section 4.02(f) of this Agreement.

On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount or Retained Certificate Interest Distribution Amount, as applicable, in respect of its Related Certificates plus (A) a pro rata portion of the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of (i) in the case of the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LASB, Class LA3 and Class LA4 Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-A Certificates, (ii) in the case of the Class LAS and Class LB Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-B Certificates, (iii) in the case of the Class LD Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-D Certificates, (iv) in the case of the Class LE Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-E Certificates, (v) in the case of the Class LF Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-F Certificates, and (vi) in the case of the Class LG Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-G Certificates, and (B) in the case of the LRR Uncertificated Interest, the Retained Certificate Interest Distribution Amount in respect of the RR Interest, in each case, computed based on an interest rate equal to the excess of the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate over the Pass-Through Rate of the Related Certificates and a notional amount equal to its related Lower-Tier Principal Amount, in each case to the extent actually distributable thereon as provided in Section 4.01(a) or 4.01(b), as applicable. Amounts distributable pursuant to this paragraph are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier Distribution Amount”, and shall be made by the Certificate Administrator by deeming such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount to be withdrawn from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to be deposited in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

 -298-

As of any date, the principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the Certificate Balance of the Related Certificates with respect thereto, as adjusted for the allocation of Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as provided in Sections 4.04(b) and 4.04(c). The initial principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the respective Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The Pass-Through Rate with respect to each Lower-Tier Regular Interest for any Distribution Date shall be the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for such Distribution Date.

Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on each Distribution Date after distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and distribution of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges pursuant to Section 4.01(e) shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest (but only to the extent of the Aggregate Available Funds for such Distribution Date remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, if any).

(d)          After the Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, such Class shall not be entitled to any further distributions in respect of interest or principal other than reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, and other amounts provided for in this Section 4.01.

(e)          Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date that represent Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges received by the Trust with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan during the related Collection Period, in each case net of any Liquidation Fees payable therefrom, shall be distributable as follows: if any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any particular Collection Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan, then on the Distribution Date corresponding to that Collection Period, the Certificate Administrator shall pay that Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium in the following manner: (x)(i) to each of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates, the product of (A) the Non-Retained Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, (B) the related Base Interest Fraction for such Class of Certificates, and (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to such Class of Certificates for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest) for that Distribution Date, (ii) to the Class X-A Certificates, the excess, if any, of (A) the product of (I) the Non-Retained Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Certificates for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest) for that Distribution Date, over (B) the amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Certificates as described above, and (iii) to the Class X-B Certificates, any remaining portion of the Non-Retained Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and (y) to the RR Interest, the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium.

 -299-

For purposes of the first paragraph of this Section 4.01(e), the relevant “Base Interest Fraction” in connection with any Principal Prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that provides for the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and with respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest), shall be a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the greater of (x) zero and (y) the difference between (i) the Pass-Through Rate on such Class for the related Distribution Date, and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate and (B) the denominator of which is the difference between (i) the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate; provided that: (a) under no circumstances will the Base Interest Fraction be greater than 1.0; (b) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and is greater than or equal to the Pass-Through Rate on such Class for the related Distribution Date, then the Base Interest Fraction will equal zero; and (c) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and is less than the Pass-Through Rate on such Class for the related Distribution Date, then the Base Interest Fraction shall be equal to 1.0. If a Mortgage Loan provides for a step-up in the Mortgage Rate, then the Mortgage Rate used in the determination of the Base Interest Fraction will be the Mortgage Rate in effect at the time of the prepayment.

For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the relevant “Discount Rate” in connection with any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge collected on any prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Loan and distributable on any Distribution Date shall be a rate per annum equal to (i) if a discount rate was used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, such discount rate (as reported by the Master Servicer), converted (if necessary) to a monthly equivalent yield, or (ii) if a discount rate was not used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields (as reported under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities” in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) published by the Federal Reserve Board for the week most recently ended before the date of the relevant prepayment (or deemed prepayment) of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with a maturity date, one longer and one shorter, most nearly approximating the related Stated Maturity Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Loan that is not related to an ARD Loan) or the related Anticipated Repayment Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Loan that is related to an ARD Loan)), such interpolated yield converted to a monthly equivalent yield. If Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) is no longer published, the Certificate Administrator shall select a comparable publication as the source of the applicable yields of U.S. Treasury constant maturities.

No Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium shall be distributed to the Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R or Class V Certificates. After the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates have been reduced to zero, the Non-Retained Percentage of all Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Class X-B Certificates and the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of all Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the RR Interest.

 -300-

All distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums made in respect of the respective Classes of Regular Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(e) shall first be deemed to be distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, pro rata based upon the amount of principal distributed in respect of each such Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(c) above.

(f)             On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) withdraw amounts from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and shall distribute such amounts to reimburse the Holders of the Regular Certificates (other than the RR Interest) (in order of distribution priority) (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Lower Tier Regular Interests) up to an amount equal to all Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to them and unreimbursed after application of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date and (ii) withdraw amounts from the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and shall distribute such amounts to reimburse the Holders of the RR Interest (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Lower Tier Regular Interests) up to an amount equal to all Retained Certificate Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to them and unreimbursed after application of the Retained Certificate Available Funds for such Distribution Date. Amounts paid from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall not reduce the Certificate Balances of the Classes of Certificates receiving such distributions. Any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Account after such distributions shall be applied to offset future Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates and related Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, in each case allocable to the Regular Certificates. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates from the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class LR Interest.

(g)            All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 4.01(h), 4.01(i) and 9.01, all such distributions with respect to each Class on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to such Certificate) will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 -301-

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Underwriters shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.

(h)            Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any amount of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to such Class of Certificates) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the related P&I Advance Determination Date, post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) a notice in electronic format to the effect that:

(i)             the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein specified; and

(ii)            no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after such Distribution Date.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one (1) year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate, such to applicable law with respect to escheatment of funds. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h).

 -302-

(i)             Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to the Regular Certificates shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(d), as applicable, to the Holders of the respective Class otherwise entitled to distributions of interest and principal on such Class on the relevant Distribution Date; provided that all distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to a Class of Certificates which has since been retired shall be to the prior Holders that surrendered the Certificates of such Class upon retirement thereof and shall be made by check mailed to the address of each such prior Holder last shown in the Certificate Register. Notice of any such distribution to a prior Holder shall be made in accordance with Section 13.05 at such last address. The amount of the distribution to each such prior Holder shall be based upon the aggregate Percentage Interest evidenced by the Certificates surrendered thereby. If the check mailed to any such prior Holder is returned uncashed, then the amount thereof shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of such prior Holder, and the Certificate Administrator shall attempt to contact such prior Holder in the manner contemplated by Section 4.01(h) as if such Holder had failed to surrender its Certificates.

(j)             On each Distribution Date, any Excess Interest received during the related Collection Period with respect to any ARD Loans shall be distributed (i) to the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates in an amount equal to the Non-Retained Percentage of such Excess Interest and (ii) to the Holders of the RR Interest in an amount equal to the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of such Excess Interest, in each case, from the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Excess Interest will not be available to pay any other amounts except for distributions on Excess Interest Certificates and the RR Interest as set forth in the prior sentence.

(k)            On each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the Companion Paying Agent shall make withdrawals and payments from the Companion Distribution Account for each Companion Loan in the following order of priority:

(ii)            to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement and not otherwise previously reimbursed, to pay the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or any of their directors, officers, employees and agents, as the case may be, any amounts payable or reimbursable to any such Person pursuant to Section 8.05, to the extent any such amounts relate solely to a Serviced Whole Loan related to such Companion Loan, and such amounts are to be paid by the related Companion Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement;

(iii)           to pay all amounts remaining in the Companion Distribution Account related to such Serviced Companion Loan to the related Companion Holder, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement; and

 -303-

(iv)           to clear and terminate the Companion Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.

All distributions from the Companion Distribution Account required hereunder shall be made by the Companion Paying Agent to the related Companion Holder by wire transfer in immediately available funds on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date (and on each additional date required by this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement) to the account of such Companion Holder or an agent therefor appearing on the Serviced Companion Noteholder Register on the related Record Date (or, if no such account so appears or information relating thereto is not provided at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by check sent by first class mail to the address of such Companion Holder or its agent appearing on the Serviced Companion Noteholder Register). Any such account shall be located at a commercial bank in the United States.

On the final Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and deliver to the Certificate Administrator who shall distribute to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, any Loss of Value Payments relating to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing and that were transferred from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to the Collection Account on the immediately preceding Remittance Date.

Unless the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report or file received from the Master Servicer contains erroneous information, the Certificate Administrator is authorized to rely thereon in calculating and making distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01, preparing the Distribution Date Statement required by Section 4.02(a) and allocating Realized Losses and/or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.04.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to this Section 4.02(c) or Section 4.02(d) shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.02(c) or of Section 4.02(d) to the extent the Master Servicer or Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case

 -309-

may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).

(d)            Upon the written request of a Certificateholder, any beneficial owner of a Certificate, or any prospective purchaser of a Certificate that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and is designated by a Certificateholder or a beneficial owner of a Certificate as such and, in any case, has delivered an Investor Certification to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, as soon as reasonably practicable, at the expense of the requesting party, the Certificate Administrator shall make available to the requesting party such information that is in the Certificate Administrator’s possession or can reasonably be obtained by the Certificate Administrator as is requested by such person, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the Certificate Registrar, nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for the sufficiency under Rule 144A or any other securities laws of any available information so furnished to any person including any prospective purchaser of a Certificate or any interest therein, nor for the content or accuracy of any information so furnished which was prepared or delivered to them by another.

(e)            The information to which any Certificateholder is entitled is limited to the information gathered and provided to the Certificateholder by the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and by acceptance of any Certificate, each Certificateholder agrees that except as specifically provided herein, no Certificateholder shall contact any Mortgagor directly with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(f)            Upon the reasonable request of the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder that, in either case, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan identified to the Master Servicer’s (in the case of a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer’s (in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) reasonable satisfaction (at the expense of the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder) and if such information is in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall provide or make available (or forward electronically) to the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, (at the expense of the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable) any Excluded Information (available to Privileged Persons through the Certificate Administrator’s Website but not accessible to the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, through the Certificate Administrator’s Website because the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to another Excluded Controlling Class Loan) relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is not a Borrower Party; provided that, in connection therewith, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, will keep such

 -310-

Excluded Information confidential and is not a Borrower Party, upon which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may conclusively rely. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, of an Investor Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B that the Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer referenced in this Section 4.02(f) shall include any applicable Excluded Special Servicer with respect to the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s).

Section 4.03     P&I Advances. (a) On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on each P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit from its own funds into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, with respect to the Mortgage Loans to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account, for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances or (iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made. Any amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next succeeding P&I Advance Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances for such Distribution Date, on or before two (2) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any P&I Advance Date, the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.05 by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date, unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Distribution Date. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee of such circumstances by 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the related P&I Advance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any P&I Advance equal to the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account but shall be deposited into the Collection Account for payment to CREFC^® on such Distribution Date.

If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan with a related Serviced Companion Loan, then it shall provide to the related other master servicer and Other Trustee under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement written notice of the amount of such P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, then it shall provide to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and

 -311-

Non-Serviced Trustee written notice of the amount of such P&I Advance within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

(b)            Subject to Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(e) below, the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date, and each Mortgage Loan, shall be equal to: (i) the Periodic Payments (net of related Servicing Fees and, in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a fee accruing at the related Non-Serviced Primary Servicing Fee Rate) other than Balloon Payments, that were due on the Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) during the related Collection Period and were not received as of the close of business on the Business Day preceding the related P&I Advance Date (or not advanced by any Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the P&I Advance Date (including any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) as to which the related Balloon Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment therefor. Subject to Section 4.03(c) below, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan), shall continue until the Distribution Date on which the proceeds, if any, received in connection with a Liquidation Event or the disposition of the REO Property, as the case may be, with respect thereto are to be distributed. No P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Companion Loan.

(c)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make its determination that a P&I Advance that has been made on such Serviced Mortgage Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan independently of any determination made by the applicable Other Servicer or Other Trustee, as the case may be, under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in respect of the related Serviced Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the applicable Other Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from the related Other Servicer, as the case may be, that an Other Servicer or the Other Trustee has determined, in accordance with the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement that is similar to a P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding advance under such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement that is similar to a P&I Advance is, a nonrecoverable advance, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may, based upon such determination, determine that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made with respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan will be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Thereafter, in either case, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not be required to make any additional P&I Advances with respect

 -312-

to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan unless and until the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines that any such additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, which determination may be as a result of consultation with the related Other Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make its determination (based on information provided by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer) that a P&I Advance that has been made on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan independently of any determination made by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer or the Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA in respect of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, that either has determined, or the Non-Serviced Trustee has determined, in accordance with the applicable Non-Serviced PSA with respect to a Non-Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding advance under such Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance is, a nonrecoverable advance, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may, based upon such determination, determine that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Thereafter, in either case, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not be required to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan unless and until the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines that any such additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, which determination may be as a result of consultation with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d)            In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay the Trustee and itself (in that order of priority) as the case may be, out of any amounts then on deposit in the

 -313-

Collection Account (but in no event from any funds allocable to a Serviced Companion Noteholder (unless related thereto), except to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such P&I Advance from the date made to but not including the date of reimbursement; provided, however, that no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance (i) if the related Periodic Payment is received on or before the related Due Date has passed and any applicable Grace Period has expired or (ii) if the related Periodic Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the related P&I Advance Date. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance, subject to Section 3.17 of this Agreement, as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account.

(e)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Excess Interest, Yield Maintenance Charges, Default Interest, late payment charges, Prepayment Premiums, or Balloon Payments or make any P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan and (ii) if an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, an “appraisal reduction amount” (or similar item) has been made in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA and the Master Servicer has notice of such appraisal reduction amount) then in the event of subsequent delinquencies thereon, the interest portion of the P&I Advance in respect of such Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (x) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance for such Mortgage Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this clause 4.03(e)(ii), and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount (or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the portion of such Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the related Mortgage Loan), if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Periodic Payment due on the Maturity Date for a Balloon Mortgage Loan will be the Assumed Scheduled Payment for the related Distribution Date.

Section 4.04     Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the Realized Loss and Retained Certificate Realized Loss for such Distribution Date. Any allocation of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses so allocated to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby. The allocation of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses shall constitute an allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the applicable Class of Certificates in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. With respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates, to the

 -314-

extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount (and corresponding to a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount and Retained Certificate Principal Distribution Amount) are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, and in the case of Realized Losses, in sequential order according to the priority of payments for the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest) (and in the case of the Principal Balance Certificates that are Senior Certificates, on a pro rata basis according to the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses on such Classes), in each case up to the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates.

(b)            (i) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest) will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses, if any, allocable to such Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date. Any such write-off shall be allocated in Reverse Sequential Order.

(ii)            On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balance of the RR Interest will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Retained Certificate Realized Losses with respect to such Distribution Date.

(c)            With respect to any Distribution Date, any Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(a) or Section 4.04(b) with respect to such Distribution Date shall reduce the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interest with respect thereto as a write-off.

Section 4.05     Appraisal Reduction Amounts; Collateral Deficiency Amounts. (a) For purposes of (x) determining the Controlling Class (and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates (other than the RR Interest) in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class G Certificates, second, to the Class F Certificates, third, to the Class E Certificates, fourth, to the Class D Certificates, fifth, to the Class C Certificates, sixth, to the Class B Certificates, seventh, to the Class A-S Certificates, and finally, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements, to the Senior Certificates (other than the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F and Class X-G Certificates).

Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to a related Mortgage Loan will be allocated between the RR Interest on the one hand and the Senior Certificates and Subordinate Certificates, on the other hand, based on the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage and the Non-Retained Percentage, respectively.

 -315-

As of the first Determination Date following a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage 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 such Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by the Special Servicer that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the Special Servicer shall (i) promptly obtain from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the Special Servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the Special Servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information in its possession relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to this Agreement that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the Special Servicer thereof. Upon reasonable prior written request, the Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount. None of the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

For purposes of determining the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to an AB Modified Loan will be allocated to each Class of Control Eligible Certificates in Reverse Sequential Order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class of Control Eligible Certificates is reduced to zero. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, any Class of Control Eligible Certificates shall be allocated both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts (the sum of which shall constitute the applicable Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount), in accordance with this Section 4.05(a), but only to the extent of the Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

With respect to (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or Operating Advisor and (ii) any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as is” basis.

The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, to the extent it receives such information, of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount, any Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal

 -316-

Reduction Amount allocated to each Mortgage Loan, AB Modified Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (which notification shall be satisfied through delivery of such Appraisal Reduction Amount as included in the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package with respect to the Collateral Deficiency Amount and the Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount) and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class. Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of such event, including the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder and the identity of the Controlling Class as set forth in Section 3.23(m) (the cost of obtaining such information from the Depository being an expense of the Trust).

(b)            (i) The Holders of the majority of Voting Rights of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Class (any such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (as applicable) in respect of such Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a second Appraisal with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such second Appraisal is delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that such MAI appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal).

(ii)            Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (as applicable) is warranted, and if so warranted, shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on such supplemental Appraisal and any information received from the Master Servicer. If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each other Appraised-Out Class shall, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable. The Holders of an Appraised-Out Class requesting any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above shall refrain from exercising any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as the Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class (such period beginning upon receipt by the Special Servicer of any request to obtain a supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the Special Servicer determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted or (B) the

 -317-

Special Servicer recalculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on the supplemental Appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”). The rights of the Controlling Class during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the next most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is not an Appraised-Out Class, if any.

(c)            With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and each Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the Special Servicer shall (1) within thirty (30) days of the occurrence or of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event, and (2) upon its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, notify the Master Servicer of the occurrence of such anniversary or determination and order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance or to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, an expense of the Trust, or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable and, promptly following receipt of any such Appraisal or performance of such valuation (or receipt of any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above), shall deliver a copy thereof to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) the Directing Certificateholder. Based upon such Appraisal or internal valuation (or any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above), the Special Servicer shall determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) the Directing Certificateholder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and such report shall be delivered in the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Template format; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Master Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Special Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Master Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. Following the Master Servicer’s receipt from the Special Servicer of the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Certificate Administrator in the form of the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File, and the Certificate Administrator will calculate the Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount and the Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount. Such report of the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be promptly forwarded by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the Other Servicer and Other Trustee of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan). If the Special Servicer is required to redetermine the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, such redetermined Appraisal Reduction

 -318-

Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount shall replace the prior Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and unless the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Loan as to such party), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, with respect to a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred to the extent the Special Servicer has obtained an Appraisal or conducted such a valuation (in accordance with requirements of this Agreement), as applicable, with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the twelve-month period immediately prior to the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the Special Servicer may use such prior Appraisal or valuation, as applicable, in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan; provided that the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change to the related Mortgaged Property having occurred and affecting the validity of such Appraisal or valuation.

The Master Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail to the Special Servicer any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount and Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request therefor; provided that the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to use reasonable efforts to provide such information to the Special Servicer within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request. The Master Servicer shall not calculate Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

(d)            Any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced Whole Loan previously subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount and Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount, which has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable), and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing, will no longer be subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount and Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be calculated by the applicable party under and in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the applicable Non-Serviced PSA.

(e)            Each Serviced Whole Loan will be treated as a single Mortgage Loan for purposes of calculating an Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan(s) that comprise such Serviced Whole Loan. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Serviced AB Whole Loan will be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement or, if no allocation is specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, then, first, to the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan (until its principal balance is notionally reduced to zero by such Appraisal Reduction Amounts) and second, pro rata, between

 -319-

the related Serviced AB Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement or, if no allocation is specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, then, pro rata, between the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, based upon their respective outstanding principal balances.

Section 4.06     Grantor Trust Reporting. (a) The parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund constituting the Grantor Trust, shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Grantor Trust shall be conducted so as to qualify such portion as, a “grantor trust” under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have the power to vary the investment of the Holders of the Class V Certificates or the RR Interest in the Grantor Trust so as to improve their rate of return. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Certificate Administrator) and timely file all Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall (A) file, or cause to be filed, Internal Revenue Service Form 1041, Form 1099 or such other form as may be applicable with the Internal Revenue Service with copies of the statements in the following clause and (B) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Holders of the Class V Certificates and the RR Interest, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Excess Interest and Excess Interest Distribution Account, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.

(b)            The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Certificate Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that Hare & Co. LLC is the only “middleman” as defined in the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the Internal Revenue Service makes a determination that the first sentence of this paragraph is incorrect.

(c)            The Certificate Administrator shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall make available (via its website) WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.

(d)            The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Certificate

 -320-

Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each Holder of a Class V Certificate or an RR Interest, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of a Class V Certificate or an RR Interest, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.

(e)            To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIP for the Class V Certificates. The CUSIP so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent such CUSIP has been received. Absent the receipt of such CUSIP, the Certificate Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

Section 4.07     Investor Q&A Forum; Investor Registry; and Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall make available, only to Privileged Persons, the Investor Q&A Forum. The “Investor Q&A Forum” shall be a service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where (i) Certificateholders and beneficial owners of Certificates that are Privileged Persons may submit questions to (A) the Certificate Administrator relating to the Distribution Date Statement, (B) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, relating to the reports being made available pursuant to Sections 3.13(b) and Section 3.13(d), the Mortgage Loans (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the related Mortgaged Properties or (C) the Operating Advisor relating to the Operating Advisor Annual Report or other reports prepared by the Operating Advisor or actions by the Special Servicer referenced in any Operating Advisor Annual Report (each an “Inquiry” and collectively, “Inquiries”), and (ii) Privileged Persons may view Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the answers thereto. Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and in the case of any Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following: REAM_InvestorRelations@wellsfargo.com), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless such party determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator by electronic mail. In the case of an Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable efforts to obtain an answer from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the content of such answer or any delay or failure to obtain such answer. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following preparation or receipt of such

 -321-

answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception), (vi) that answering the inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege or the disclosure of attorney work product or (vii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination. In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in its capacity as Risk Retention Consultation Party) as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered. Any notice by the Certificate Administrator to the Person who submitted an Inquiry that will not be answered shall include the following statement: “Because the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor shall not answer an Inquiry if it determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law or the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional costs or expenses to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information, or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, no inference should or may be drawn from the fact that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor has declined to answer the Inquiry.” Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any of the Depositor, the Underwriters or any of their respective Affiliates. None of the Underwriters, Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor or any of their respective Affiliates will certify to any of the information posted in the Investor Q&A Forum and no such party shall have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Certificate Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature. The Investor Q&A Forum will not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted via the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to respond to any Inquiries from Certificateholders for which its response would require the Operating

 -322-

Advisor to provide information to such inquiring Certificateholders that they are otherwise not entitled to receive under the terms of this Agreement.

(b)            The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder and any Certificate Owner that is a Privileged Person, the Investor Registry. The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where Certificateholders and Certificate Owners that are Privileged Persons can register and thereafter obtain information with respect to any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that has so registered. Any person registering to use the Investor Registry shall certify that (a) it is a Certificateholder or a Certificate Owner and a Privileged Person and (b) it grants authorization to the Certificate Administrator to make its name and contact information available on the Investor Registry for at least forty-five (45) days from the date of such certification to persons entitled to access to the Investor Registry. Such Person shall then be asked to enter certain mandatory fields such as the individual’s name, the company name and email address, as well as certain optional fields such as address, phone, and Class(es) of Certificates owned. If any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner notifies the Certificate Administrator that it wishes to be removed from the Investor Registry (which notice may not be within forty-five (45) days of its registration), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly remove it from the Investor Registry. The Certificate Administrator will not be responsible for verifying or validating any information submitted on the Investor Registry, or for monitoring or otherwise maintaining the accuracy of any information thereon. The Certificate Administrator may require acceptance of a waiver and disclaimer for access to the Investor Registry.

(c)            The 17g-5 Information Provider shall make available, only to NRSROs, the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. The “Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool” shall be a service available on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, where NRSROs may (i) submit questions to the Certificate Administrator relating to any Distribution Date Statements, or submit questions to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, relating to the reports prepared by such parties (each such submission, a “Rating Agency Inquiry”), and (ii) view Rating Agency Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the responses thereto. In addition, NRSROs may use the forum to submit requests (each such submission also, a “Rating Agency Inquiry”) to the Master Servicer for loan-level reports and other related information. Upon receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry for the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall forward the Rating Agency Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following: RAInvRequests@wellsfargo.com), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof.

 -323-

the Servicing Standard, this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege with, or the disclosure of attorney work product, or (iii) (A) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and (B) the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (or in good faith, in the case of the Certificate Administrator) that the performance of such duties or the payment of such costs and expenses is beyond the scope of its duties in its capacity as Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, it shall not be required to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry and shall promptly notify the 17g-5 Information Provider by email of such determination. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly thereafter post the Rating Agency Inquiry with the reason it was not answered to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall not be liable for the failure by any other such Person to so answer. Questions posted on the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool shall not be attributed to the submitting NRSRO. Answers posted on the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any other person.

(b)            The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation or duty to verify, review, confirm or otherwise determine whether the type, number or contents of any Diligence File delivered to the Certificate Administrator is accurate, complete, or relates to the

 -324-

transaction or confirm that all documents and information constituting any Diligence File have actually been delivered to the Certificate Administrator. In no case shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have obtained actual or constructive knowledge of the contents of, or information contained in, any Diligence File by virtue of posting such Diligence File to the Secure Data Room. In the event that any document or information is posted in error, the Certificate Administrator may remove such document or information from the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation to produce physical or electronic copies of any document or information provided to it for posting to the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or held liable for any other Person’s use or dissemination of the documents or information contained on the Secure Data Room; provided that such event or occurrence is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(b)            One authorized signatory shall sign the Certificates for the Certificate Registrar by manual or facsimile signature. If an authorized signatory whose signature is on a Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Certificate Registrar countersigns the Certificate, the Certificate shall be valid nevertheless. A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Certificate Registrar (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.

Section 5.02     Form and Registration. No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer (other than one by the Depositor to an Affiliate thereof or by the Initial Purchasers to an affiliate of RREF III Debt AIV, LP) is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then either:

(a)            Each Class of the Non-Registered Certificates sold to institutions that are non-United States Securities Persons in Offshore Transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act shall initially be represented by a temporary book-entry certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each a “Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Non-Registered Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream. Prior to the expiration of the 40-day period commencing on the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related Regulation S Book-Entry

 -326-

Certificate in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f). During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby initially appointed the Authenticating Agent with the power to act, on the Trustee’s behalf, in the authentication and delivery of the Certificates in connection with transfers and exchanges as herein provided. If Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is removed as Certificate Administrator, then Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall be terminated as Authenticating Agent. If the Authenticating Agent is terminated, the Trustee shall appoint a successor authenticating agent, which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate thereof.

(b)            Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates (other than any RR Interest during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period or EU Transfer Restriction Period) offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Act (“Rule 144A”) shall be represented by Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

(c)            Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates that are initially offered and sold to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers (the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered in the name of such investors or their nominees by the Certificate Registrar who shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class R and Class V Certificates shall only be in the form of Definitive Certificates, and the RR Interest shall be issued in the form of Definitive Certificates at all times during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period and the EU Transfer Restriction Period.

 -327-

(d)            Owners of beneficial interests in Book-Entry Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Registrar and the Depository are unable to locate a qualified successor within ninety (90) days of such notice or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Certificate Registrar to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Non-Registered Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Book-Entry Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Book-Entry Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for re-registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Book-Entry Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Class of Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.

(e)            During the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period and the EU Transfer Restriction Period, any RR Interest shall only be held as a Definitive Certificate in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator (and each Retaining Party’s respective interest shall be tracked in the form of an entry in the Certificate Administrator’s trust accounting system under the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account), for the benefit of the Holder of the related Certificate. The Certificate Administrator shall hold the RR Interest in safekeeping and shall release the same only upon receipt of written instructions, and in accordance with any authentication procedures as may be utilized by the Certificate Administrator and in accordance with this Agreement. There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator an account which will be designated the “Retained Interest Safekeeping Account” and into which the RR Interest shall be held and which shall be governed by and subject to this Agreement. In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Certificate Administrator may establish any number of subaccounts to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for each Retained Party. The RR Interest to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein. No amounts distributable to the RR Interest shall be remitted to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, but shall be remitted

 -328-

directly to each Retained Party in accordance with written instructions provided separately by each Retained Party to the Certificate Administrator. Under no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping the RR Interest shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any person on behalf of the Retained Parties. During the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period and the EU Transfer Restriction Period and for such longer time as the Retaining Parties may request, the Certificate Administrator shall hold the Definitive Certificate representing the RR Interest at the below location, or any other location; provided the Certificate Administrator has given notice to each of the Retaining Parties of such new location:

Attn: Security Control and Transfer (SCAT) – MAC N9345-010 

425 E Hennepin Avenue 

Minneapolis, MN 55414

The Certificate Administrator shall make available to each Retaining Party its respective account information as mutually agreed upon by the Certificate Administrator and each respective Retaining Party, and in accordance with the Certificate Administrator’s policies and procedures. Any transfer of an RR Interest shall be subject to Section 5.03(g) and Section 5.03(i). The Certificate Administrator is directed by the Depositor to enter into a safekeeping account agreement to facilitate the initial settlement and sale of the RR Interest on the Closing Date.

Section 5.03     Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office books (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being the “Certificate Registrar”). In such capacities, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for, among other things, (i) maintaining the Certificate Register and a record of the aggregate holdings of Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates represented by a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate and accepting Certificates for exchange and registration of transfer, (ii) holding the RR Interest as Definitive Certificates on behalf of each Holder of such Class and (iii) transmitting to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer any notices from the Certificateholders. No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of Transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in this Section 5.03.

(b)            Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Article V, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

(c)            Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. If a holder of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate deposited with the Certificate Registrar as custodian for the Depository wishes at any time during the Restricted Period to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate for an

If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate deposited with the Certificate Registrar as custodian for the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer its interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07, of (1) instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate equal to the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, (2) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be debited with such decrease and (3) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate (i) during the Restricted Period, a certificate in the form of Exhibit K hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating that the Person transferring such interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate is a Qualified Institutional Buyer or (ii) after the Restricted Period, an Investment Representation Letter in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto from the transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer (an “Investment Representation Letter”) and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to

 -331-

be exchanged, and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with such reduction, to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions, a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such transfer the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate that is being transferred.

(f)             Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate as to which the Certificate Registrar has received from Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate (a “Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification”) to the effect that Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, has received a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto from the holder of a beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, shall be exchanged after the Restricted Period, for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. The Certificate Registrar shall effect such exchange by delivering to the Depository for credit to the respective accounts of such holders, a duly executed and authenticated Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Balance of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. The delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream of the certificate or certificates referred to above may be relied upon by the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar as conclusive evidence that the certificate or certificates referred to therein has or have been delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby. Until so exchanged in full and except as provided therein, the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.

(g)            Non-Book Entry Certificate to Book-Entry Certificate. If a holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than (a) a Class R Certificate or (b) an RR Interest during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period or the EU Transfer Restriction Period) wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is entitled to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, cause the exchange of all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an equivalent beneficial interest in the appropriate Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07, of (1) such Non-Book Entry Certificate, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such holder directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the

 -332-

portion of the Certificate Balance of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit M hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate), in the form of Exhibit N hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate) or in the form of Exhibit O hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate), then the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, shall cancel, or cause to be canceled, all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate, shall, if applicable, execute, authenticate and deliver to the transferor a new Non-Book Entry Certificate equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion retained by such transferor and shall instruct the Depository to increase, or cause to be increased, such Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged and to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate so canceled. Upon the written direction of the Depositor (which may be by email to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com) or its Affiliate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute any instrument as may be reasonably required by the Depository to effect such exchange.

(h)            Non-Book Entry Certificates on Initial Issuance Only. Subject to the issuance of Definitive Certificates, if and when permitted by Section 5.02(d), and subject to the issuance and transfer of the RR Interest during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period in accordance with Section 5.03(i), no Non-Book Entry Certificate shall be issued to a transferee of an interest in any Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or to a transferee of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (or any portion thereof).

(i)             Transfers of RR Interest. At all times, if a Transfer of any RR Interest after the Closing Date is to be made, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-3, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor and (ii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.02(e) and Section 5.03(a), reflect such RR Interest in the name of the prospective Transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall an RR Interest be held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period or the EU Transfer Restriction Period.

(j)             Other Exchanges. In the event that a Book-Entry Certificate is exchanged for a Definitive Certificate, such Certificates may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of subsections (c) through (f) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act, at the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Certificate Registrar.

 -333-

(k)            Restricted Period. Prior to the termination of the Restricted Period with respect to the issuance of the Certificates, transfers of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the provisions of subsection (e) above.

(l)             If Non-Registered Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing a restrictive legend relating to compliance with the Act, or if a request is made to remove such legend on Certificates, the Non-Registered Certificates so issued shall bear the restrictive legend, or such legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Certificates that do not bear such legend.

(m)           All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the Certificate Registrar’s customary procedures.

(n)           With respect to the ERISA Restricted Certificates, no sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition (other than any initial transfer to the Initial Purchasers or with respect to the RR Interest, the Mortgage Loan Sellers) of any such Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the proposed purchaser or transferee of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, to the effect that such proposed purchaser or transferee is not and will not be (A) an employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) for which no election has been made under Section 410(d) of the Code or any other plan subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) which is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (B) a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include Plan assets within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA), other than an insurance company using the assets of its general account under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of such Certificates by such insurance company would be exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code under Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, would not result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law) or (ii) if such Certificate is presented for registration in the name of a purchaser or transferee that is any of the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation of any Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Depositor to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any such

 -334-

Similar Law) in addition to those set forth in the Agreement. The Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall not register the sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificate unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator have received either the representation letter described in clause (i) above or the Opinion of Counsel described in clause (ii) above. The costs of any of the foregoing representation letters or Opinions of Counsel shall not be borne by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Registrar, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust. Each Certificate Owner of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not and will not become a Person specified in clauses (i)(A) or (i)(B) above. Any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificates that would constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, or would otherwise violate the provisions of this Section 5.03(n) shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

(o)           No Class R or Class V Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Plan, or any person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include Plan within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) to purchase such Class R or Class V Certificate. Each prospective transferee of a Class R or Class V Certificate shall deliver to the transferor and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2, stating that the prospective transferee is not and will not become a Plan or a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan. Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of these transfer restrictions shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.

Each Person who has or acquires any Residual Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Residual Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i)             Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Residual Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.03(o) by a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee shall be void ab initio and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.

(ii)            No Residual Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and

 -335-

such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Residual Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur tax liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (3) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they become due, (4) the proposed transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person, (5) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.03(o) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-2 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements in its Transferee Affidavit are false.

(iii)           Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer to such proposed transferee shall be effected and such proposed Transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate Register; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee. Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a Transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than sixty (60) days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

 -336-

(p)           The Class R Certificates may only be transferred to and owned by Qualified Institutional Buyers.

(q)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders and other payees of interest or original issue discount that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required for such withholding, and the Certificateholders shall be required to provide the Certificate Administrator with such forms and such other information reasonably required by the Certificate Administrator. If the Certificate Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Person. Such amounts shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Persons for all purposes of this Agreement.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that to the extent that a party to this Agreement responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information required to be distributed to Certificateholders has been provided an Investor Certification, such party to this Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee).

Section 5.06     Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses; Special Notices. (a) The Certificate Registrar shall maintain in as current form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders.

The notice and related ballot shall be sent to Holders of Book-Entry Certificates through the Depository and by mail to the registered Holders of Definitive Certificates. In addition, the notice and related ballot shall be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notices delivered in this manner shall be considered delivered to all Holders regardless of whether any Holder actually receives the notice and ballot.

(b)            In connection with any vote administered pursuant to this Agreement, voting Holders shall be required to certify their holdings in the manner set forth on the ballot, unless a specific manner is otherwise provided herein. Holders may only vote in accordance with their Voting Rights.

Any changes or retractions shall be communicated by the Certificateholder to the Certificate Administrator in writing on a ballot. After the vote deadline has passed, votes may not be changed or retracted by any Holder unless the Holder wishing to change or retract its vote holds a sufficient portion of the Voting Rights such that the Holder, by its vote alone, could approve or deny the proposition subject to a vote without taking into consideration the votes cast by any other Holder.

Promptly after the votes are tabulated, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare a notice announcing the results of the vote. Such notice shall include the percentage of Voting Rights in favor of the proposition, the percentage against the proposition and the percentage abstaining. In addition, the notice will announce whether the proposition has been adopted by Certificateholders. The notice shall be distributed in accordance

 -340-

with the methods described in Section 5.10(a) below. The Certificate Administrator shall also include such notice on the Form 10-D prepared in connection with the distribution period that corresponds with the date such notice is distributed. All vote tabulations shall be final and the Certificate Administrator shall not, absent manifest error, re-tabulate the votes or conduct a new vote for the same proposition.

(d)           Any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering any vote shall be borne by the Trust. The Certificate Administrator is under no obligation to advise Holders about the matter being voted on or answer questions other than process-related questions regarding the administration of the vote.

(e)            If any party to this Agreement believes a vote of Certificateholders is needed for some matter related to the administration of the Trust that is not specifically contemplated herein, such party may request the Certificate Administrator to conduct a vote and the Certificate Administrator will conduct the requested vote in accordance with these procedures. Unless specifically provided herein, all such votes require a majority of Certificateholders to carry a proposition.

 -347-

Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer (such Person, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in each of the foregoing cases, the “Surviving Entity”), as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper (other than an assumption agreement wherein the successor shall agree to perform the obligations of and serve as the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that with respect to such merger, consolidation or succession, Rating Agency Confirmation is received from each Rating Agency with respect to the Classes of Certificates and, with respect to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, a confirmation is received from each applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates as described in Section 3.25); provided, further, that if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor enters into a merger and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, is the surviving entity under applicable law, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall not, as a result of the merger, be required to provide a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to ratings of the Classes of Certificates or, with respect to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, a confirmation of the rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings; provided, further, that for so long as the Trust, and, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan included as part of the trust in a related Other Securitization, is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor notifies the Depositor in writing (a “Merger Notice”) of any such merger, consolidation, conversion or other change in form, and the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, notifies the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, in writing that the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, has discovered that such successor entity has not complied with its Exchange Act reporting obligations under any other commercial mortgage loan securitization (and specifically identifying the instance of noncompliance), then it shall be an additional condition to such succession that the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, shall have consented (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such successor entity.

involved, such expenses, costs and liabilities will be payable out of funds related to the applicable Serviced Whole Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and will also be payable out of the other funds in the Collection Account if amounts on deposit with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan are insufficient therefor. If any such expenses, costs or liabilities relate to a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, then any subsequent recovery on that Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, will be used to reimburse the Trust for any amounts advanced for the payment of such expenses, costs or liabilities. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans or the Companion Loan on deposit in the Collection Account (including, without duplication, any subaccount thereof), as provided by Section 3.05(a)(xii).

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Trust to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall assume the defense of such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not affect any rights any of the foregoing Persons may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby.

Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor or its Affiliates that arise out of or are based upon, severally and not jointly (i) a breach by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of any obligation it

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, respectively, if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Trust to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall assume the defense of such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall not affect any rights any of the foregoing Persons may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby.

(e)            The Depositor agrees to indemnify the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trust and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager, employee or agent thereof, and hold them harmless, from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising from or as a result of any willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Depositor, in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard by the Depositor of its duties and obligations hereunder or by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made herein; provided that such indemnity shall not cover indirect or consequential damages. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Depositor if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement, whereupon the Depositor shall assume the defense of such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the

 -352-

Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) or the Special Servicer, as the case may be) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Depositor shall not affect any rights any of the foregoing Persons may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Depositor’s defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Operating Advisor if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Trust to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Operating Advisor shall assume the defense of such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Depositor) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Operating Advisor shall not affect any rights any of the foregoing Persons may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Operating Advisor’s defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby.

(g)            Neither the Operating Advisor nor its Affiliates or any of the partners, directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, employees or agents of the Operating Advisor shall be under any liability to any Certificateholder for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Operating Advisor against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.

fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising from or as a result of any willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Asset Representations Reviewer, in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard by the Asset Representations Reviewer of its duties and obligations hereunder or by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made herein; provided that such indemnity shall not cover indirect or consequential damages. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Trust to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Asset Representations Reviewer shall assume the defense of such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim.

The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer.

(j)             For purposes of this Section 6.04 and Section 11.12, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, will be deemed not to have engaged in willful misconduct or committed bad faith or negligence in the performance of their respective obligations and duties hereunder or acted in negligent disregard of such obligations and duties if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to follow any terms of any Mortgage Loan documents because the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, determines that compliance with such terms would or potentially would cause an Adverse REMIC Event or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code (for which determination the Master

 -354-

Servicer and the Special Servicer will be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which will be reimbursed as an additional expense of the Trust).

Section 6.05     Depositor, Master Servicer and Special Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall resign from their respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on each of them except upon (a) determination that such party’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (b) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor (which may be appointed by the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable), and receipt by the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25). Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (a) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning party) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder. Unless applicable law requires the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be) to be effective immediately, and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to the prior sentence so states, no such resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under clause (a) above shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02 and no such resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall become effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Upon any termination (as described in Section 7.01(c)) or resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pursuant to this Section 6.05, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have the right and opportunity to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer with respect to this Section 6.05; provided that, such successor master servicer or special servicer shall not be the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor or one of their respective Affiliates and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) such successor special servicer is approved by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The resigning party shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 6.05. Except as provided in Section 7.01(c), in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer have the right to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is terminated or removed pursuant to Section 7.01.

Section 6.06     Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special

 -355-

Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be relieved of any of their respective obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 6.07     The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer as Certificate Owner. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof may become the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate with (except as otherwise set forth in the definition of “Certificateholder”) the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof.

Section 6.08     The Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party. (a) (A) Other than with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan that is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all Major Decisions for all Mortgage Loans (other than any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder), (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all Mortgage Loans, as to the Special Servicer Decisions described in clauses (d), (e), (f) and (g) of the definition of “Special Servicer Decision” and (3) the Master Servicer to the extent the Directing Certificateholder’s consent is required by clauses (x) and (xii) of the definition of Master Servicer Decision, and (B) the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party) be entitled to consult on a strictly non-binding basis with the Special Servicer (1) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Major Decision in respect of a Specially Serviced Loan and, (2) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Major Decision in respect of any Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, any consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party under this Agreement shall occur only upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to any individual triggering event, and any such consultation shall be on a strictly non-binding basis and shall be subject to all limitations with respect to the procedures and timing of such consultation set forth in this Section 6.08.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to, the third and fourth paragraphs of this Section 6.08(a) and Section 6.08(b), for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall only be permitted to take any of the following actions (each, a “Major Decision”) as to which the Directing Certificateholder has consented in writing within ten (10) Business Days after the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt of the Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent (provided that if such written consent has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have approved such action):

 -356-

(vii)         any waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or a Serviced Whole Loan or any consent to such a waiver or consent to a transfer of the Mortgaged Property or interests in the Mortgagor, other than any such transfer as described under clause (xiii) of the definition of Master Servicer Decision;

(viii)        any property management company changes with respect to a Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, approval of the termination of a manager and appointment of a new property manager, in each case, if the replacement property manager is a Borrower Party or the Mortgage Loan has an outstanding principal balance greater than or equal to $10,000,000;

provided that with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, if the Special Servicer determines, with respect to clause (xii) above, that a modification, amendment or waiver is administrative in nature, including a note splitting amendment, the Special Servicer shall provide written notice of such determination to the Master Servicer, in which case, the Master Servicer will process such decision and such decision will be deemed to be a Master Servicer Decision

 -358-

not a Major Decision (provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall make any such determination and provide any such notice within two (2) business days of its receipt of a request related to any such decision); provided, however, that, in the event that the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in this Agreement (or any matter requiring consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor), is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of any related Serviced Companion Loan) (as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans)), the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be); provided that the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, provides the Directing Certificateholder (or the Operating Advisor, if applicable) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (if applicable) with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. None of the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers is required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder for any of the foregoing actions or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder (only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) in connection with any Major Decision not relating to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Certificateholder in respect thereof. Additionally, upon request, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party on a non-binding basis ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, only with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Mortgage Loan) in connection with any Major Decision not relating to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and consider alternative actions recommended by the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in respect thereof. In the event the Special Servicer receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party within 10 Business Days following its written request for input on any required consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond shall not relieve the Special Servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan with respect to such party) or Serviced Whole Loan. In addition, after a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer will also be required to consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and any other

 -359-

actions which otherwise require consultation with the Operating Advisor after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event that the Special Servicer receives no response from the Operating Advisor within 10 Business Days following the later of (i) its written request for input on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters shall not relieve the Special Servicer from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.08(a), the Special Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a “Major Decision” with respect to all Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan).

Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such request to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and except as provided in the next sentence, the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or such Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision. With respect to such request, the Master Servicer shall continue to cooperate with the Special Servicer by delivering any additional information in the Master Servicer’s possession to the Special Servicer requested by the Special Servicer relating to such Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision. The Master Servicer shall not be permitted to process any Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision and shall not be required to interface with the Mortgagor or provide a written recommendation and analysis with respect to any Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision.

With respect to (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, any Major Decision relating to a Specially Serviced Loan, and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination, any Major Decision relating to a Mortgage Loan (in each case, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party), the Special Servicer shall provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Major Decision to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, within the same time frame it is required to provide such notice, information or report to the Directing Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such

 -360-

items are actually required to be provided to the Directing Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event).

In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder subject to any rights, if any, of the related Companion Holder to advise the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan, as the Directing Certificateholder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction or objection contemplated by the preceding paragraphs of this section or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan or related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, or the REMIC Provisions (and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the holders of the related Companion Loan), including without limitation the obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

In the event the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Certificateholder or any advice from the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, would cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, respectively, and the Trustee and the Rating Agencies of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Certificateholder or the approval of the Risk Retention Consultation Party that does not violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

With respect to any matter for which the consent of the Directing Certificateholder is required, to the extent no specific time period for deemed consent is expressly stated, in the event no response from the Directing Certificateholder is received within ten (10) Business Days following written request for consent and its receipt of all reasonably requested information on any required consent, the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to or approved the specific matter; provided that the failure of the Directing

 -361-

Certificateholder to respond will not affect any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

The Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not be protected against any liability to a Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of the Controlling Class over other Classes of the Certificates, and that the Directing Certificateholder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that the Directing Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, including the Holders of the Controlling Class, that the Directing Certificateholder does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, and that the Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

The Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be protected against any liability to a Holder of an RR Interest that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Holders of the RR Interest or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Holders of the RR Interest. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of an RR Interest over other Classes of the Certificates, and that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may act solely in the interests of the Holders of an RR Interest, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the RR Interest, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holder of the RR Interest, and that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Risk Retention Consultation Party or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

Any Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. By its

 -362-

acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that any such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may take actions that favor the interests of one or more classes of the certificates issued under the related Non-Serviced PSA including the holders of the controlling class under such Non-Serviced PSA over other classes of the certificates issued under the Non-Serviced PSA and/or any Class of Certificates, and that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced PSA, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced PSA, and that the Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to a Directing Certificateholder), the Directing Certificateholder shall have no right to consent to or direct any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder and, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in each case, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) to the extent set forth herein in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder), the Directing Certificateholder shall have no direction, consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Certificateholder and, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party to the extent set forth herein in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein.

(b)           If any Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this Section 7.01(b), the “Affected Party”) shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the Special Servicer and only (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 25% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, terminate (and the Depositor may direct the Trustee to terminate each of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice if there is a Servicer Termination Event under clause (A) in the parenthetical in Section 7.01(a)(iii) above), by notice in writing to the Affected Party, with a copy of such notice to the Depositor and the Operating Advisor, all of the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the Affected Party under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof (other than as a Certificateholder or Companion Holder, if applicable); provided, however, that the Affected Party shall be entitled to the payment of accrued and unpaid compensation and reimbursement through the date of such termination as provided for under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses incurred. From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice except as otherwise provided in this Article VII, all authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee with respect to a termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Affected Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agree that if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall promptly (and in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, responsibilities and rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within five (5) Business Days to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account or any Servicing Account (if it is the Affected Party), by the Special Servicer to the REO Account (if it is the Affected Party) or thereafter be

(c)           If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under Section 7.01(b) solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(viii) or (a)(ix), the Master Servicer shall have a forty-five (45) day period after such notice in which to find a successor master servicer qualified to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.03 and Section 7.02 and to which the Master Servicer can sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement. During such forty-five (45) day period the Master Servicer may continue to serve as the Master Servicer hereunder. In the event that the Master Servicer is unable, within such forty-five (45) day period, to cause a qualified successor master servicer to assume the duties of the Master Servicer hereunder, then and in such event, the Trustee shall assume the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder.

Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b), if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer shall occur and be continuing that affects the Holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, then, so long as the Special Servicer is not otherwise terminated, the Holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or the Other Trustee appointed under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan. Any Special Servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan cannot at any time be (without the prior written consent of the holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) the person (or Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. Any Special Servicer under this paragraph shall meet the eligibility requirements of Section 7.02 and the eligibility requirements of the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the appointment thereof shall comply with the provisions of Section 7.02. Any appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this paragraph shall be subject to the receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment or replacement will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Companion Loan Securities (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

(d)           Subject to the rights of the holder of a related AB Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, at any time prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to terminate the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement,

 -367-

with or without cause, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor; such termination to be effective upon the appointment of a successor special servicer meeting the requirements of this Section 7.01(d). Upon a termination of the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) shall appoint a successor special servicer; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02, (ii) each Rating Agency delivers Rating Agency Confirmation and, in the case of any class of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies deliver a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) and (iii) no replacement of the Special Servicer shall be effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and upon (a) the written direction of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances pursuant to Section 4.05) of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest) requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction to assume the duties of the Special Servicer hereunder, (b) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and which will not be additional expenses of the Trust and (c) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the expense of such Holders) and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such request on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b) and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates (other than the RR Interest) in such regard, which requisite affirmative votes shall be received within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice, and if not so received, such votes shall be null and void ab initio. Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 66-2/3% of a Certificateholder Quorum of Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor special servicer to assume the duties of the Special Servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated by such Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder may (i) access such notices via the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificateholder’s direction to remove such Special Servicer shall not apply to

 -368-

any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period.

An AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder shall have the right, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period, to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan, so long as (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation; (B) the successor special servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor special servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to any Serviced AB Whole Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator; and (C) the Certificate Administrator shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with this Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, this Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with the terms hereof.

The parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement, if a servicer termination event on the part of a Non-Serviced Special Servicer under a Non-Serviced PSA remains unremedied and affects the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (or the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Directing Certificateholder) will be entitled to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The appointment (or replacement) of the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan will in any event be subject to Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. A replacement special servicer will be selected by the related Non-Serviced Trustee or, prior to a consultation termination event under the related Non-Serviced PSA, by the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder; provided, however, that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan cannot at any time be the Person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, without the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder.

Following the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, if the Operating Advisor determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written report in the form of Exhibit W attached hereto, setting forth the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with any information the Operating Advisor considered relevant to its recommendation) and recommending a replacement Special Servicer (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event shall the information or any

 -369-

other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer to assume the duties of the Special Servicer, which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such recommendation and the related report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and by mail conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances of such Certificates) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis within 180 days of posting of the Operating Advisor’s recommendation to the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and if not so received, such votes shall be null and void ab initio, and (ii) receipt by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i) of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, the Trustee shall (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint a successor special servicer approved by the Certificateholders and (ii) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel) associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering such vote and the Operating Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be an additional expense of the Trust. In the event that the Trustee does not receive at least a majority of the requested votes, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be permitted to recommend the replacement of a Special Servicer with respect to an AB Whole Loan so long as the related Serviced Companion Noteholder is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

No penalty or fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer with respect to any termination pursuant to this Section 7.01(d). All costs of any such termination made by the Directing Certificateholder without cause shall be paid by the Holders of the Controlling Class.

For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification of the Operating Advisor in Section 6.04 shall include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.04, any action or claim arising from, or relating to, the Operating Advisor’s determination under this Section 7.01(d) (regarding removal of the Special Servicer), or the result of the vote of the Certificateholders (regarding removal of the Special Servicer).

(e)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, as the case may be, from time to time, take all such reasonable actions as are required by it in accordance with the related Servicing Standard in order to prevent the Certificates from being placed on “watch”

 -370-

status or downgraded due to servicing or special servicing, as applicable, concerns by any Rating Agency with respect to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. In no event shall the remedy for a breach of the foregoing covenant extend beyond termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(viii) and the resulting operation of Section 7.01(b) and (c). The operation of this subsection (e) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a)(viii).

(f)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, and if the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated, or (2) if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, then the Master Servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan or the holders of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, but upon the written direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Serviced Whole Loan.

(g)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.01, with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan, if any, the related Special Servicer shall resign as Special Servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Directing Certificateholder shall select an Excluded Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan in accordance with this Agreement. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event or if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the resigning Special Servicer shall select the related Excluded Special Servicer. The resigning Special Servicer shall not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer. It shall be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then-current ratings of the Certificates and each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities makes the equivalent confirmation, (ii) the related Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the related Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator and any applicable Other Depositor and Other Certificate Administrator, the information, if any, required under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

If at any time the Special Servicer that had previously acted as the Special Servicer is no longer a Borrower Party with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming REO Property), (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer shall resign, (2) the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan shall no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) such original Special Servicer shall become the Special Servicer again for such related Mortgage Loan or

 -371-

Serviced Whole Loan and (4) such original Special Servicer shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

The applicable Excluded Special Servicer shall perform all of the obligations of the Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan and shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan earned during such time as the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

If a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, a related Excluded Special Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has actual knowledge that a Mortgage Loan is no longer an Excluded Loan, an Excluded Controlling Class Loan or an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer, the related Excluded Special Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide prompt written notice thereof to each of the other parties to this Agreement.

Section 7.02     Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, either resigns pursuant to clause (a) of Section 6.05 or receives a notice of termination for cause pursuant to Section 7.01(b), and provided that no acceptable successor has been appointed within the time period specified in Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall be the successor to such party, until such successor to that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as applicable, is appointed as provided in this Section 7.02 or by the Directing Certificateholder as provided in Section 7.01(d), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to, and have the benefit of, all of the rights, (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) benefits, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liability relating thereto and that arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the terminated party’s failure under Section 7.01 to provide information or moneys required hereunder shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The appointment of a successor master servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer, and the appointment of a successor special servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Special Servicer. The Trustee in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor master servicer or special servicer or for any losses incurred by the predecessor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder, nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder solely as a result of its obligations as successor master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be. Subject to Section 3.11, as compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all fees relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Companion Loans which that Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder,

 -372-

including but not limited to any income or other benefit from any Permitted Investment pursuant to Section 3.06, and subject to Section 3.11, and the Trustee as successor to the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Should the Trustee succeed to the capacity of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be afforded the same standard of care and liability as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder notwithstanding anything in Section 8.01 to the contrary, but only with respect to actions taken by it in its role as successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, and not with respect to its role as Trustee hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to act as successor to that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as applicable, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as a servicer by each Rating Agency, or if the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the Special Servicer) ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution which meets the criteria set forth in Section 6.05 and otherwise herein, as the successor to that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until (i) the assumption in writing by the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder that arise thereafter, (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), (iii) such appointment (solely with respect to the Special Servicer) has been approved (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and (iv) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation with respect to a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, shall be in excess of that permitted the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. The Trustee, the non-terminated Master Servicer or the non-terminated Special Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing function (other than with respect to a termination without cause) under this Agreement shall be borne by

 -373-

the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the party requesting such termination or the successor master servicer or special servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. If and to the extent that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the party requesting such termination shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust. In the event of a termination without cause, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the party requesting such termination, or as otherwise set forth herein; provided that the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not bear any such costs and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Trustee is terminating the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement at the direction of any party or parties permitted to direct the Trustee to so terminate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall not have any liability for such expenses pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 7.03     Notification to Certificateholders. (a)Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, any termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

(b)          Not later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Termination Event and (ii) five (5) days after the Certificate Administrator would be deemed to have notice of the occurrence of such an event in accordance with Section 8.02(vii), the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to the Depositor and all Certificateholders (and, if a Serviced Whole Loan is affected, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder) notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.

Section 7.04     Waiver of Servicer Termination Events. The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder may waive such Servicer Termination Event; provided, however, that a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i), (ii) or (viii) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only with the consent of all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes, and a Servicer Termination Event under clause (iii) of Section 7.01(a) (with respect to obligations under Article XI) may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, subject to the rights of any affected holder of a Serviced Companion Loan under Section 7.01(c) or Section 7.01(f), such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination Event or impair any right consequent

 -374-

thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates.

Section 7.05     Trustee as Maker of Advances. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances and such failure remains uncured, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (x) within five (5) Business Days following such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Servicing Advances resulting in a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(iii) to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Servicing Advances and (y) by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I Advances pursuant to the Certificate Administrator’s notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.03(a) unless such failure has been cured. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Master Servicer’s rights with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, as the case may be, (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by the Master Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Trustee, until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of the Master Servicer for such Advances. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 8.05(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, and appointment of a successor thereto.

 -380-

shall also apply to the Certificate Administrator in all of its capacities hereunder, including Custodian, Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent.

 -381-

corresponding to a tax imposed under the REMIC Provisions), the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable shall elect either to (i) resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07, (ii) pay such tax at no expense to the Trust or (iii) administer the Trust REMICs from a state and local jurisdiction that does not impose such a tax.

Section 8.07     Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and Certificate Administrator.

A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificateholders and the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and such petition will be an expense of the Trust.

A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator shall have

 -382-

been so appointed and have accepted appointment within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice of removal, the removed Trustee or Certificate Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, at the expense of the Trust.

(c)          The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 75% of the Voting Rights may, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, with or without cause, remove the Trustee or Certificate Administrator and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Special Servicer and the remaining Certificateholders by the Master Servicer.

Further, the resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall pay all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

If the same party is acting as Trustee and Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, any removal of either such party in its capacity as Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall also result in such party’s removal in its capacity as Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and the Depositor shall appoint a successor certificate administrator and a successor trustee, in each instance meeting the eligibility requirements set forth hereunder.

Upon any succession of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator under this Agreement, the predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to the payment of accrued and unpaid compensation and reimbursement as provided for under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses incurred (including without limitation, unreimbursed Advances).

The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held on its behalf by the Custodian, which Custodian, at Custodian’s option shall become the agent of the successor trustee), and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations, and to enable the successor trustee to perform its obligations hereunder.

(b)          No successor trustee or successor certificate administrator shall, as applicable, accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such

 -384-

acceptance such successor trustee or successor certificate administrator, as applicable, shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.

(c)           Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or successor certificate administrator as provided in this Section 8.08, the Master Servicer shall deliver notice of the succession of such Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, to the Depositor and the Certificateholders.

Section 8.10     Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in case a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.

 -385-

which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

(c)          Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then-separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

The Custodian shall be subject to the same obligations and standard of care as would be imposed on the Certificate Administrator hereunder in connection with the retention of Mortgage Files directly by the Certificate Administrator. Upon termination or resignation of the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator may appoint another Custodian meeting the foregoing requirements. The appointment of one or more Custodians by the Certificate Administrator shall not relieve the Certificate Administrator from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Certificate Administrator shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of any Custodian other than the initial Custodian. Any Custodian appointed hereunder must maintain a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy in an amount customary for Custodians which serve in such capacity in commercial mortgage loan securitization transactions, or may self-insure.

Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) on the applicable Distribution Date, (i) the Certificate Administrator shall remit to the Holders of the RR Interest in immediately available funds an amount equal to the product of the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage and the Termination Purchase Amount and (ii) the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust shall be liquidated in accordance with Section 9.02. Solely for federal income tax purposes, the Sole Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC for an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates, plus accrued, unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributable in respect of such Certificates and Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

The obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the

 -391-

Companion Paying Agent shall terminate with respect to any Companion Loan to the extent (i) its related Serviced Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Trust Fund and (ii) no amounts payable by the related Companion Holder to or for the benefit of the Trust or any party hereto in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement remain due and owing.

The Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the other parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Preliminary Statement. This purchase shall terminate the Trust and retire the then-outstanding Certificates. In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases, or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as the case may be, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account not later than the P&I Advance Date relating to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof payable to any Person other than the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05(a), which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account). In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred thereto on such P&I Advance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution. Upon confirmation that such final deposits and payments have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans as assets of the Trust and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund.

For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class shall have the first option to terminate the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC, then the Special Servicer, then the Master Servicer and then the Holders of the Class R Certificates. For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Directing Certificateholder with the consent

 -392-

of the Holders of the Controlling Class, shall act on behalf of the Holders of the Controlling Class in purchasing the assets of the Trust and terminating the Trust.

Notice of any termination pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders, each Serviced Companion Noteholder and the 17g-5 Information Provider in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c) (who shall promptly post a copy of such additional notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c)) and, if not previously notified pursuant to this Section 9.01, to the other parties hereto mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans is an asset of the Trust) and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, not earlier than the fifteenth (15th) day and not later than the twenty-fifth (25th) day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates, or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the P&I Advance Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust will terminate and final payment of the Certificates will be made, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein designated.

After transferring the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges distributable to the Regular Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(e) to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, in each case pursuant to Section 3.04(b) and upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates (i) such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts then on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account that are allocable to payments on the Class of Certificates so presented, (ii) to Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates so presented, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account, and (iii) any remaining amount shall be distributed to the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest or the Class UR Interest, as applicable. Amounts transferred from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account as of the final Distribution Date, shall be distributed in termination and liquidation of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LR Interest in accordance with Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(c), 4.01(e) and 4.01(f). Any funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner and shall be disposed of in accordance with this Section 9.01 and Section 4.01(h).

Section 9.02     Additional Termination Requirements. (a)In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases, or the Holders of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as provided in Section 9.01, the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC, as applicable, shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, which meet the definition of a “qualified liquidation” in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code:

(ii)          during the 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the related Trust REMICs to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, for cash; and

(iii)         within such 90-day liquidation period and immediately following the making of the final payment on the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest (in the case of the Lower-Tier REMIC) and in respect of the Class UR Interest (in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC) all cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust (if applicable) or the related Trust REMIC(s) shall terminate at that time.

ADDITIONAL REMIC PROVISIONS

Section 10.01   REMIC Administration. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall make elections or cause elections to be made to treat each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under Applicable State and Local Tax Law. Each such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Upper-Tier REMIC, each Class of the Regular Certificates shall be designated the “regular interests,” and the Class UR Interest shall be designated the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC. For purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Lower-Tier REMIC, each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be designated as a class of “regular interests” and the Class LR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC. None of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any Trust REMIC other than the foregoing interests.

(b)          The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” (“Startup Day”) of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

(c)          The Certificate Administrator shall act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving either such REMIC and shall represent each such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal expenses, including without

 -394-

limitation attorneys’ or accountants’ fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a) unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be designated as the “tax matters person” in the manner provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury Regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1, and the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code (to the extent such provision is applicable to the Trust REMICs) of each Trust REMIC. By their acceptance thereof, the Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Certificate Administrator as its agent to perform all of the duties of the “tax matters person” and “partnership representative” for the Trust REMICs.

(d)          The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file, or cause to be filed, all of the Tax Returns that it determines are required with respect to each Trust REMIC created hereunder, and shall cause the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign) such Tax Returns in a timely manner. The ordinary expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne by the Certificate Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor.

(e)          The Certificate Administrator shall provide or cause to be provided (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of such Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, or in the case of a Transfer to an agent thereof, to such agent, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service, Form 8811, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

(f)          The Certificate Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause the Trust to take such actions as are reasonably within the Certificate Administrator’s control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the Trustee shall assist the Certificate Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to do so. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property”) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Certificate Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Certificate Administrator determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the

 -395-

Trust, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust, any Trust REMIC created hereunder, cause the loss of such status or, unless the Certificate Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, result in the imposition of such a tax (not including a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”). The Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Certificate Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. The Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Certificate Administrator will to the extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of each Trust REMIC as “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(g)          In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on any Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.01(g); provided that with respect to the estimated amount of tax imposed on any “net income from foreclosure property” pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local tax authority, the Special Servicer shall retain in the related REO Account a reserve for the payment of such taxes in such amounts and at such times as it shall deem appropriate (or as advised by the Certificate Administrator in writing), and shall remit to the Master Servicer such reserved amounts as the Master Servicer shall request in order to pay such taxes. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed by any Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust (other than as a consequence of a breach of its obligations under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Section 860F(a) of the Code or the amount of any taxable contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such prohibited transactions tax. To the extent that any such tax (other than any such tax paid in respect of “net income from foreclosure property”) is paid to the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state or local tax authorities, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Class R Certificates (as applicable) and shall distribute such retained amounts, (x) in the case of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, to the Upper-Tier REMIC to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest in the manner specified in Section 4.01(c) and (y) in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC, to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates in the manner specified in Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(b), as applicable, to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses or

 -396-

Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class UR Interest. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement which breach constitutes willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence by such party.

(h)          The Certificate Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain or cause to be maintained books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC Provisions.

(i)           Following the Startup Day, neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC unless the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such Trust REMIC will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

(j)           Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which the Trust or any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit the Trust or any Trust REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(k)          Solely for the purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” by which the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each Class of Regular Certificates and by which the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests would be reduced to zero is the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date.

(l)           None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust, (iii) the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or Article III of this Agreement) or acquire any assets for the Trust or any Trust REMIC or sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the REO Account for gain unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition or substitution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has determined in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, cause the Trust or any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

(m)         The Certificate Administrator’s authority under this Agreement includes the authority to make, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to make, any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Section 6221 of the Code (or successor

 -397-

provisions) to either Trust REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by either Trust REMIC under Section 6225 of the Code (or successor provisions) of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any Holder of a Class R Certificate, past or present. Each Holder of a Class R Certificate agrees, by acquiring such Certificate, to any such elections.

(b)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each furnish such reports, certifications and information, and upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, access to such books and records maintained thereby, as may relate to the Certificates or the Trust and as shall be reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator in order to enable it to perform its duties hereunder.

Section 10.04   Appointment of REMIC Administrators.

Other than with respect to the Initial Sub-Servicer, no Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be effective until fifteen (15) days after such written notice is received by the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator (or such shorter period as is agreed to by the Depositor).

If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide notice to all Certificateholders and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Article XII shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, by mailing such notice to the Certificateholders’ addresses appearing in the Certificate Register in the case of Definitive Certificates and by delivering such notice via the Depository in the case of Book-Entry Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall include in the Form 10-D relating to the reporting period in which the Asset Review Trigger occurred the following statement describing the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur: “As of the [Date of Distribution], the following Mortgage Loans identified below are sixty (60) or more days delinquent and an Asset Review Trigger as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has occurred.”. On each Distribution Date occurring after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator, based on information provided to it by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall determine whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) whether an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver such information in a written notice (which may be via email) in the form of Exhibit RR within two (2) Business Days to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer.

If Certificateholders (other than Holders of the RR Interest) evidencing not less than 5% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates deliver to the Certificate Administrator, within ninety (90) days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence an Asset Review (an “Asset Review Vote Election”), then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders (with a copy to the Asset Representations Reviewer) and conduct a solicitation of votes in accordance with Section 5.10 to authorize an Asset Review. Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review by Holders of Certificates evidencing at least (i) a majority of those Certificateholders who cast votes and (ii) a majority of an Asset Review Quorum within one hundred fifty (150) days of receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written

 -428-

notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party and the other Certificateholders (the “Asset Review Notice”). Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request access to the Secure Data Room by providing the Certificate Administrator with a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit QQ (which shall be sent via email to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s Website). Upon receipt of such certification, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (and in any case within two (2) Business Days after such receipt) grant the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Secure Data Room. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such one hundred fifty (150) day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such one hundred fifty (150) day period, (B) a new Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or an Asset Review Trigger is otherwise in effect, (C) the Certificate Administrator has timely received any Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) in this sentence and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within one hundred fifty (150) days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) in this sentence. After the occurrence of any Asset Review Vote Election or an Affirmative Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote will be paid as an expense of the Trust from the Collection Account. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to administer any vote in connection with the foregoing through an agent.

(b)          (i) Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Custodian (with respect to clauses (1) - (5) below for all Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to clause (6) below for Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to clause (6) below for Specially Serviced Loans), in each case to the extent in such party’s possession, shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, provide the following materials in electronic format to the Asset Representations Reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files posted on the Secure Data Room by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.08, a copy of the Prospectus, a copy of each related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and a copy of this Agreement, the “Review Materials”):

(1)          a copy of an assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, for each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(2)          a copy of an assignment of any related assignment of leases (if such item is a document separate from the Mortgage) in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

 -429-

(3)          a copy of the assignment of all unrecorded documents relating to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, if not already covered pursuant to clause (1) or clause (2) above;

(4)          a copy of all filed copies (bearing evidence of filing) or evidence of filing of any UCC financing statements related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(5)          a copy of an assignment in favor of the Trustee of any financing statement executed and filed in the relevant jurisdiction related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review; and

(6)          any other related documents that were entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan that the Asset Representations Reviewer has determined are necessary in connection with its completion of any Asset Review and that are requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer, in the time frames and as otherwise described in clause (ii) hereof.

(ii)          In addition, in the event that, as part of an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan and that is necessary in connection with its completion of the Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Review Materials, notify the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing document(s), and request that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer, deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer such missing document(s) to the extent in its possession; provided that any such notification and/or request shall be in writing, specifically identifying the documents being requested and sent to the notice address for the related party set forth in Section 13.05 of this Agreement. In the event any missing documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller is required under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver such missing document only to the extent such document is in the possession of such party but in any event excluding any documents that contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or Mortgage Loan Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications.

(iii)          The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider and rely upon information furnished to it by a Person that is not a party to this Agreement or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, and shall do so only if such information can be independently verified (without unreasonable effort or expense to the Asset Representations Reviewer) and is determined by the Asset Representations

 -430-

Reviewer in its good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review conducted pursuant to this Section 12.01 (any such information, “Unsolicited Information”).

(iv)          Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence File with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit PP (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in Exhibit PP if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard. Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review shall be required in respect of, or performed on, such Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or again become a Delinquent Loan at a time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such new Asset Review Trigger.

(v)           No Certificateholder shall have the right to change the scope of the Asset Review, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to review any information other than (1) the Review Materials and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information.

(vi)          The Asset Representations Reviewer may, absent manifest error and subject to the Asset Review Standard, (i) assume, without independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects and (ii) conclusively rely on such Review Materials.

(vii)         The Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare a preliminary report with respect to each Delinquent Loan within fifty-six (56) days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing documentation is not delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) to the extent in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession within ten (10) Business Days following the request by the Asset Representations Reviewer to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, as described in Section 12.01(b)(ii), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall list such missing documents in such preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing documents are

 -431-

necessary to complete a Test and (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide such preliminary report to the Master Servicer (only with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans), the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) and the related Mortgage Loan Seller. If the preliminary report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have ninety (90) days (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. Any documents or explanations to support the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or that any missing information or documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test shall be sent by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer. For avoidance of doubt, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to prepare a preliminary report in the event the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that there is no Test failure with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.

(viii)          The Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within sixty (60) days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator or within the ten (10) days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period (whichever is later), complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report setting forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review and a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”) to each party to this Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan Seller for each Delinquent Loan, the Directing Certificateholder and (ii) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional thirty (30) days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loan and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, which, in each case, shall be a responsibility of the applicable Enforcing Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(k) of this Agreement.

(ix)          In addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any documentation that it requested from the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans), the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) or the related Mortgage Loan Seller in sufficient time to allow the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete its Asset Review and deliver an Asset Review Report, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the documentation received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no

 -432-

responsibility to independently obtain any such documentation from any party to this Agreement or otherwise.

(x)          Within thirty (30) days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall determine, based on the Servicing Standard, there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer determines that a Material Defect exists, the Special Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Material Defect in accordance with Section 2.03(b).

(c)          The Asset Representations Reviewer and its affiliates shall keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” received from any party to this Agreement or any Sponsor (including, without limitation, in connection with the review of the Mortgage Loans) and not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement in an Asset Review Report or otherwise, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Asset Representations Reviewer with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.

(d)          The Asset Representations Reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 12.01; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with any Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Asset Representations Reviewer alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Asset Representations Reviewer by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Section 12.02    Payment of Asset Representations Reviewer Fees and Expenses; Limitation of Liability.

 -433-

(a)          The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee of $5,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Upfront Fee”) on the Closing Date. As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), payable monthly from amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans and shall be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00028% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but not any Companion Loan) and shall be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans.

(b)          As compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder, with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger and the Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent Loans and are subject to an Asset Review, upon the completion of any Asset Review with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee equal to, in the case of a Delinquent Loan, (i) $15,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $20,000,000, (ii) $20,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, but less than $40,000,000 or (iii) $25,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $40,000,000 (any such fee, the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”).The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, however, that if the related Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or fails to pay such amount within ninety (90) days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee shall be paid by the Trust following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of a certification to the Master Servicer that the requirements for payment set forth in this Section 12.02(b) have been met. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not deliver any such certificate unless it has invoiced payment of such amount and otherwise met the requirements for payment set forth in this Section 12.02(b), including receipt of evidence of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount. A Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have failed to pay such amount hereunder ninety (90) days after delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of an itemized invoice to such Mortgage Loan Seller by registered mail or overnight courier to the address listed in this Agreement for such Mortgage Loan Seller, or to such other address as shall be provided by such Mortgage Loan Seller for delivery of notices in accordance with this Agreement, or ninety (90) days following attempted delivery of such invoice by registered mail or overnight courier and reasonable follow -up by telephone or e-mail. Notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee will remain an obligation of the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer shall pursue remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller to recover any such amounts to the extent paid by the Trust.

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan shall be included in the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review that is repurchased or substituted by a Mortgage Loan Seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price received shall be used to reimburse the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust, as the case may be, for such fees pursuant to Section 12.02(b).

 -434-

(d)          The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement.

Section 12.03   Resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer may resign and be discharged from its obligations hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement and each Rating Agency. Upon such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. If no successor asset representations reviewer shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will bear all reasonable costs and expenses of each party hereto and each Rating Agency in connection with its resignation.

Section 12.04   Restrictions of the Asset Representations Reviewer. Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer if the Asset Representations Reviewer and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Asset Representations Reviewer and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

(a)          An “Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

(i)          any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Trustee or to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the Voting Rights, provided that any such failure that is not curable within such thirty (30) day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure within the initial thirty (30) day period and has provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an officer’s certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;

 -435-

(ii)          any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the Asset Review Standard in any material respect, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

(iii)         any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer is required to bear all reasonable costs and expenses of itself and of each other party to this Agreement in connection with its termination due to an Asset

 -436-

Representations Reviewer Termination Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor and each Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event of which it becomes aware.

(b)          Upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Asset Representations Reviewer with a proposed successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such notice on its internet website, and (ii) mailing such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Asset Representations Reviewer. Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination) by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer and appoint the proposed successor. As between the Asset Representations Reviewer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer. In the event that Holders of the Certificates evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) elect to remove the Asset Representations Reviewer without cause and appoint a successor, the successor asset representations reviewer will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

(c)          On or after the receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of written notice of termination, subject to this Section 12.05, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Asset Representations Reviewer shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after (1) the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns pursuant to Section 12.03 of this Agreement or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of an Asset Representations Reviewer to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and each Certificateholder within one Business Day of such appointment.

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall at all times be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and if the Asset Representations Reviewer ceases to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall immediately notify

 -437-

the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Certificateholder of such disqualification and immediately resign under Section 12.03 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor asset representations reviewer subject to and in accordance with this Section 12.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor asset representations reviewer within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to identify and appoint a successor asset representations reviewer so long as the Trustee uses commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a search for a successor asset representations reviewer and such failure is not a result of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(d)          Upon any termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer and appointment of a successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Depositor, each Rating Agency, and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and the Directing Certificateholder. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination).

(x)           to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as will be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered offerings to the extent provided in CFR 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv); or

(xi)          to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions in the event the Risk Retention Rules or any other regulations applicable to the foreign or domestic risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed in whole or in part, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or, to the extent applicable, to modify or eliminate the affected provision(s) related to the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change

 -440-

any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary hereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holder of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

(b)           This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

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

(ii)           reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)          adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)          change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary hereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)           amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall consent to any amendment hereto without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted hereunder and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the

 -441-

Furthermore, no amendment to this Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included in this Agreement by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without, in each case, the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

(d)          No later than the effective date of any amendment to this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall post a copy of the same to the Certificate Administrator’s Website, deliver a copy of the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider who shall post a copy of the same on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and Section 3.13(c), as applicable, and thereafter, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment together with a copy of such amendment in electronic format to each Certificateholder and each Serviced Companion Noteholder, the Depositor, each Other Depositor, each Other Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Mortgagors, the Underwriters and the Rating Agencies.

(e)          It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 13.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Certificate Administrator may prescribe.

(f)          The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 13.01 that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

(g)          The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to Section 13.01(a) or Section 13.01(c) and the cost of any amendment entered into hereunder shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, except that if the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee requests any amendment of this Agreement in furtherance of the rights and interests of Certificateholders, the cost of any Opinion of Counsel required in connection therewith pursuant to Section 13.01(a) or Section 13.01(c) shall be payable out of the Collection Account.

(h)          The Servicing Standard shall not be amended unless each Rating Agency provides Rating Agency Confirmation and, with respect to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies provide a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

(i)          To the extent the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or

 -442-

Depositor obtains an Opinion of Counsel as provided for in Section 13.01(c) in connection with executing any amendment to this Agreement, such party shall be deemed not to have acted negligently in connection with entering into such amendment for purposes of availing itself of any indemnity provided to such party under this Agreement.

(j)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 13.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates, so long as neither the Depositor nor any of its Affiliates is performing servicing duties with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans.

(k)          This Agreement may not be amended without the consent of any holder of a Companion Loan if such amendment would materially and adversely affect the rights of such Companion Holder hereunder.

Section 13.02   Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts. (a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Certificate Administrator at the expense of the Depositor on direction by the Special Servicer and with the consent of the Depositor (which may not be unreasonably withheld), but only upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Depositor) to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

(b)          For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

(c)          The Trustee shall make any filings required under the laws of the state of its place of business required solely by virtue of the fact of the location of the Trustee’s place of business, the costs of which, if any, to be at the Trustee’s expense.

Section 13.03   Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. (a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

(b)          No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in

(c)          No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement, any Mortgage Loan, or with respect to the Certificates, unless, with respect to any suit, action or proceeding upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a written notice of default, and of the continuance thereof, as herein before provided, or of the need to institute such suit, action or proceeding on behalf of the Trust and unless also (except in the case of a default by the Trustee) the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing not less than 25% of the related Percentage Interests in such Class shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of such indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Certificates unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or hereby. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement or the Certificates to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under this Agreement or the Certificates, except in the manner herein or therein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 13.03(c), each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 13.06   Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

Section 13.07   Grant of a Security Interest. The Depositor intends that the conveyance of the Conveyed Property shall constitute a sale and not a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, the Depositor intends that the rights and obligations of the parties to such loan shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor also intends and agrees that, in such event, (i) the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee (in such capacity) a first priority security interest in the Depositor’s entire right, title and interest in, to and under the Conveyed Property and all proceeds thereof, in each case, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The Depositor shall file or cause to be filed, as a precautionary filing, a UCC Financing Statement in all appropriate locations in the State of Delaware promptly following the initial issuance of the Certificates, and the Certificate Administrator shall, at the expense of the Depositor (to the extent reasonable), prepare and file continuation statements with respect thereto, in each case in the six-month period prior to every fifth anniversary of the date of the initial UCC Financing Statement. The Depositor shall cooperate in a reasonable manner with the Certificate Administrator in the preparation and filing of such continuation statement. This Section 13.07 shall constitute notice to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee pursuant to any of the requirements of the applicable UCC.

Section 13.08   Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, and all such provisions shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Mortgage Loan Seller (and its respective agents), each Companion Holder (and its respective agents), each Underwriter, each depositor of a Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization, each Other Exchange Act Reporting Party (with respect to its rights under Article XI of this Agreement) and each Initial Purchaser is an intended third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect of the respective rights afforded it hereunder. No other person, including, without limitation, any Mortgagor, shall be entitled to any benefit or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

(b)          Each Serviced Companion Noteholder shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect to the rights afforded it hereunder. Each of the Other Servicers and the Other Trustees shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect to all provisions herein expressly relating to compensation, reimbursement or indemnification of such Other

 -451-

Servicer and Other Trustee, and any provisions regarding reimbursement or advances or interest thereon to such Other Servicer or Other Trustee.

(c)          Each of the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee, Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Depositor, Non-Serviced Paying Agent and any Non-Serviced Trust holding a related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect to its rights as specifically provided for herein and under the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement.

(d)          Subject to Section 2.03(k), Section 2.03(l)(iv) and Section 2.03(l)(v), any Requesting Certificateholder shall be an express third-party beneficiary to this Agreement for purposes of exercising rights under Section 2.03(k) through Section 2.03(o).

Section 13.09    Article and Section Headings. The article and section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Section 13.10   Notices to the Rating Agencies. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts promptly to provide notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), (and the related 17g-5 information provider for any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities to the extent applicable to any Serviced Whole Loan) with respect to each of the following of which it has actual knowledge:

(i)           any material change or amendment to this Agreement;

(ii)          the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event that has not been cured;

(iii)         the resignation or termination of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer; and

(iv)         the repurchase or substitution of Mortgage Loans by the related Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(b)          The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to promptly provide notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), with respect to each of the following of which it has actual knowledge:

(i)           the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator;

(ii)          any change in the location of the Collection Account;

(iii)         any event that would result in the voluntary or involuntary termination of any insurance of the accounts of the Trustee;

(iv)         any change in the lien priority of any Mortgage Loan with respect to an assumption of the Mortgage Loan or additional encumbrance described in Section 3.08;

 -452-

(v)           any additional lease to an anchor tenant or termination of any existing lease to an anchor tenant at retail properties for any Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance that is equal to or greater than the lesser of (1) an amount greater than 5% of the then-aggregate outstanding principal balances of the Mortgage Loans and (2) $35,000,000;

(vi)          any material damage to any Mortgaged Property;

(d)           The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall furnish to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), and thereafter to each Rating Agency (and any rating agency for any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities to the extent applicable to any Serviced Whole Loan) with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) such information as any Rating Agency shall reasonably request and which the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, can reasonably provide in accordance with applicable law and without waiving any attorney-client privilege relating to such information or violating the terms of this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan documents. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, may include any reasonable disclaimer it deems appropriate with respect to such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 13.10 shall require a party to provide duplicative notices or copies to the Rating Agencies with respect to any of the above listed items. In connection with the delivery by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the 17g-5 Information Provider of any information, report, notice or document for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer when such information, report, notice or document has been posted. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may, but shall not be obligated to, send such information, report, notice or document to the applicable Rating Agency so long as such information, report, notice or document (i) was previously provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider or (ii) is simultaneously provided, by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, to the 17g-5 Information Provider.

This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.

“Code”). Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.]

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of [FOR PRINCIPAL BALANCE CERTIFICATES (CLASS A-1, A-2, A-SB, A-3, A-4, A-S, B, C, D, E, F and G): principal and] interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class [__] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum

A-1-9

In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(ix)          to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holders of the RR Interest), as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

(x)           to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as will be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered offerings to the extent provided in C.F.R. 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv); or

(xi)          to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions in the event the Risk Retention Rules or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the provision related to the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or

A-1-12

change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller, or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

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

(ii)          reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)         adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)         change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)          amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the

A-1-13

effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without, in each case, the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

The Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and the RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) together with the payment of the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

CLASS R CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by

WELLS FARGO COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES, INC.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [____________________] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class R Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between WELLS FARGO COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES, INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class R Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BANK 2017-BNK4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-BNK4 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.

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

This Class R Certificate represents a “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the

A-2-5

treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the “tax matters person” pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury Regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1 and the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code (to the extent such provision is applicable to the Trust REMICs) for each Trust REMIC, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby irrevocably designated and shall serve (i) as attorney-in-fact and agent for any such Person that is the “tax matters person” and (ii) as the “partnership representative” for each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code (to the extent such provision is applicable to the Trust REMIC).

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, distributions, if any, on this Certificate shall be made by the Certificate Administrator in an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) and to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Distribution Date to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

A-2-6

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (A) no Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof (including a nominee, middleman or similar person) (an “Agent”), a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan (such Plan or Person, an “ERISA Prohibited Holder”) or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change to such status; (B) in connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur tax liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (3) the proposed

A-2-7

transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they become due, (4) the proposed transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person, (5) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.03(o) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-2 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements in its Transferee Affidavit are false.

The Class R Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of 10% and integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(i)           to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(ii)          to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related non-offered certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or

A-2-8

supplement any of its provisions which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

(iii)         to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the P&I Advance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest), as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;

(iv)         to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust or any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) or Companion Holder;

(v)          to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(o) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, any Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(ix)          to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holders of the RR Interest), as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

(x)           to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as will be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of

A-2-10

(xi)          to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions in the event the Risk Retention Rules or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the provision related to the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

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

(ii)          reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)         adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)         change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)          amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the

A-2-11

downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without, in each case, the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

The Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and the RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) together with the payment of the Termination Purchase Amount

A-2-12

for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

WELLS FARGO COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES, INC.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [____________________] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class V Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among WELLS FARGO COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES, INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class V Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BANK 2017-BNK4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-BNK4 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.

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

This Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in a portion of the Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in

 A-3-4

accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the Excess Interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, Excess Interest actually collected on the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-

 A-3-5

tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Class V Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of 5% and integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 A-3-6

(i)       to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(ix)      to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of the RR Interest), as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further,

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holder of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

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

(ii)       reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)       adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)       change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage

 A-3-9

Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)       amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without, in each case, the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

The Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are no longer outstanding (and

 A-3-10

provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and the RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) together with the payment of the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

(hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the RR Interest. The Certificates are designated as the BANK 2017-BNK4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-BNK4 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.

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

 A-4-5

This Certificate represents (i) a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) an undivided beneficial interest in a portion of the Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest (including Excess Interest) then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Aggregate Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Retained Certificate Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Retained Certificate Realized Losses allocated to the RR Interest will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans and Excess Interest actually collected on the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain

 A-4-6

expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of (i) a certificate from the prospective Transferee in the form set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, countersigned by the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (ii) a certificate from the prospective Transferor in the form set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The RR Interest will be issued in fully registered, certificated form in minimum denominations of $1, and in integral multiples of $0.01 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

 A-4-7

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(i)       to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(vi)       to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) or any holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan not consenting to such revision or addition as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies with respect to such amendment or supplement and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

(vii)       to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) not consenting to such amendment or supplement, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;

industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

(ix)       to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holders of the RR Interest), as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

(x)       to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as will be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered offerings to the extent provided in C.F.R. 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv); or

(xi)       to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions in the event the Risk Retention Rules or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the provision related to the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of

modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

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

(ii)       reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)       adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)       change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)       amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by an Intercreditor

 A-4-11

Agreement related to a Companion Loan without, in each case, the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

The Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and the RR Interest), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) together with the payment of the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Re: Transfer of BANK 2017-BNK4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-BNK4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, on behalf of the holders of BANK 2017-BNK4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-BNK4 in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of $_______________ aggregate [Certificate Balance][Notional Amount][__% Percentage Interest] of Class ___ Certificates (the “Certificates”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Exhibit C-1

In connection with such transfer, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to you and the addressees hereof as follows:

1.       Check one of the following:^*

☐ The Purchaser is not purchasing a Class R Certificate and the Purchaser is an institution that is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any entity in which all of the equity owners are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D (each, an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of the Purchaser’s or such account’s investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates purchased by it for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor, as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

☐ The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is aware that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the information required to be provided pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.

2.       The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Certificates (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for reoffer, resale, pledge or other transfer (i) to QIBs in transactions under Rule 144A, and not in any event with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, or (ii) (other than with respect to a Class R Certificate) to Institutional Accredited Investors, subject in the case of clause (ii) above to (w) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (x) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Trustee and Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (y) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws and (z) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. The Purchaser understands that the Certificates (and any subsequent Certificates) have not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to reoffer, resell, pledge or transfer the Certificates only to certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.

^* Purchaser must select one of the following two certifications.

Exhibit C-2

3.       The Purchaser has reviewed the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates (collectively, the “Prospectus”) (and, with respect to Offered Private Certificates, the Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum and the Final Private Placement Memorandum related to such Offered Private Certificates) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Prospectus.

4.       The Purchaser acknowledges that the Certificates (and any Certificates issued on transfer or exchange thereof) have not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or any other jurisdiction, and that the Certificates cannot be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless it is registered or qualified thereunder or unless an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.

5.       The Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as an owner of a Certificate or Certificates, as the case may be (each, a “Certificateholder”), in all respects as if it were a signatory thereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.

6.       The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Certificate or Certificates, except in compliance with Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

☐ The Purchaser is not a U.S. Tax Person and under applicable law in effect on the date hereof, no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Certificate Registrar (or its agent) with respect to distributions to be made on the Certificates. The Purchaser has attached hereto [(i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form, as applicable), which identifies such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificates and states that such Purchaser is not a U.S. Tax Person, (ii) IRS Form W-8IMY (with all appropriate attachments) or (iii)]^*** two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificates and state that interest and original issue discount on the Certificates and Permitted Investments is, or is expected to be, effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Certificate Registrar updated [IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY or]*** IRS Form W-8ECI, [as the case may be,]*** any applicable successor IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably request, on or before the date that any such IRS form or certification

^** Each Purchaser must include one of the two alternative certifications.

^*** Does not apply to a transfer of Class R Certificates.

Exhibit C-3

expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished by it to the Certificate Registrar.

Very truly yours,

[The Purchaser]

Re: BANK 2017-BNK4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-BNK4 (the “Certificates”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of April 1, 2017, by and among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer

STATE OF	)
	)	ss.:
COUNTY OF	)

I, [______], under penalties of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete, and being first sworn, depose and say that:

1.        I am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

2.        The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) designated as the (i) “Lower-Tier REMIC” and (ii) “Upper-Tier REMIC”, respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

3.        The Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is

Exhibit D-1-1

any of the following: (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, any international organization or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization which is exempt from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) an “electing large partnership”, as defined in Section 775 of the Code and (vi) any other Person so designated by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator based upon an Opinion of Counsel as provided to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (at no expense to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator) that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause a Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or any Person having an Ownership Interest in any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such Person. The terms “United States,” “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.

4.        The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.

5.        The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee and, to the extent applicable, the Purchaser’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is [__________].

6.        No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

7.        The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other person.

8.        Check the applicable paragraph:

☐        The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

(i)       the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;

(ii)      the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and

Exhibit D-1-2

(iii)     the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.

☐       The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

(i)       the Purchaser is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

(ii)      at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

(iii)     the Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and

(iv)     the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.

☐       None of the above.

9.        The Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Class R Certificates as they become due.

10.      The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.

11.      The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that

Exhibit D-1-3

it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is false.

12.      The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.

13.      The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.

14.      The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.

15.      The Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the agent of the “tax matters person” and “partnership representative” of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Re: BANK 2017-BNK4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-BNK4 (the “Certificates”) 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”). The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:

(1)       No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

(2)       The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

(3)       The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant

Exhibit D-2-1

evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

Very truly yours,
(Transferor)

(1) Debt Service Coverage Ratios are updated periodically as new NOI figures become available from borrowers on an asset level. In all cases, the most recent DSCR provided by the Servicer is used. To the extent that no DSCR is provided by the Servicer, information from the offering document is used. The Trustee makes no representations as to the accuracy of the data provided by the borrower for this calculation.

(2) Anticipated Remaining Term and WAM are each calculated based upon the term from the current month to the earlier of the Anticipated Repayment Date, if applicable, and the maturity date.

(3) Data in this table was calculated by allocating pro-rata the current loan information to the properties based upon the Cut-off Date balance of each property as disclosed in the offering document.

Definition of Confidential Information. For purposes of this Confidentiality Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall include the following information (irrespective of its source or form of communication, including information obtained by you through access to this site) that may be furnished to you by or on behalf of a Furnishing Entity in connection with the issuance or monitoring of a rating with respect to the Certificates: (x) all data, reports, interpretations, forecasts, records, agreements, legal documents and other information (such information, the “Evaluation Material”) and (y) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the status thereof; provided, however, that the term Confidential Information shall not include information which:

was or becomes generally available to the public (including through filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or disclosure in an offering document) other than as a result of a disclosure by you or a NRSRO Representative (as defined in Section 2(c)(i) below) in violation of this Confidentiality Agreement;

was or is lawfully obtained by you from a source other than a Furnishing Entity or its representatives that (i) is reasonably believed by you to be under no obligation to maintain the information as confidential and (ii) provides it to you without any obligation to maintain the information as confidential; or

is independently developed by the NRSRO without reference to any Confidential Information.

Information to Be Held in Confidence.

You will use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of determining or monitoring a credit rating on the Certificates and, to the extent that any information used is derived from but does not reveal any Confidential Information, for benchmarking, modeling or research purposes (the “Intended Purpose”).

You acknowledge that you are aware that the United States and state securities laws impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of material, non-public information and that the NRSRO will advise (through policy manuals or otherwise) each NRSRO Representative who is informed of the matters that are the subject of this Confidentiality Agreement to that effect.

You will treat the Confidential Information as private and confidential. Subject to Section 4, without the prior written consent of the applicable Furnishing Entity, you will not disclose to any person any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information was furnished to you before, on or after the date of this Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may:

Exhibit P-2-3 

disclose the Confidential Information to any of the NRSRO’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, legal representatives, agents and advisors (each, a “NRSRO Representative”) who, in the reasonable judgment of the NRSRO, need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the Intended Purpose; provided, that, prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information to a NRSRO Representative, the NRSRO shall have taken reasonable precautions to ensure, and shall be satisfied, that such NRSRO Representative will act in accordance with this Confidentiality Agreement;

solely to the extent required for compliance with Rule 17g-5(a)(3) of the Act (17 C.F.R. 240.17g-5),post the Confidential Information to the NRSRO’s password protected website; and

use information derived from the Confidential Information in connection with an Intended Purpose, if such derived information does not reveal any Confidential Information.

Disclosures Required by Law. If you or any NRSRO Representative is requested or required (orally or in writing, by interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigatory demand, request for information or documents, deposition or similar process relating to any legal proceeding, investigation, hearing or otherwise) to disclose any Confidential Information, you agree to provide the relevant Furnishing Entity with notice as soon as practicable (except in the case of regulatory or other governmental inquiry, examination or investigation, and otherwise to the extent practical and permitted by law, regulation or regulatory or other governmental authority) that a request to disclose the Confidential Information has been made so that the relevant Furnishing Entity may seek an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information if it so chooses. Unless otherwise required by a court or other governmental or regulatory authority to do so, and provided that you been informed by written notice that the related Furnishing Entity is seeking a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment with respect to the requested Confidential Information, you agree not to disclose the Confidential Information while the Furnishing Entity’s effort to obtain such a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment is pending. You agree to reasonably cooperate with each Furnishing Entity in its efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the portion of the Confidential Information that is being disclosed, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity; provided, however, that in no event shall the NRSRO be required to take a position that such information should be entitled to receive such a protective order or reasonable assurance as to confidential treatment. If a Furnishing Entity succeeds in obtaining a protective order or other remedy, you agree to comply with its terms with respect to the disclosure of the Confidential Information, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained or if the relevant Furnishing Entity waives compliance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement in writing, you agree to furnish only such information as you are legally required to disclose, at the sole expense of the relevant Furnishing Entity.

Obligation to Return Evaluation Material. Promptly upon written request by or on behalf of the relevant Furnishing Entity, all material or documents, including copies thereof, that contain Evaluation Material will be destroyed or, in your sole discretion, returned to the relevant Furnishing Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the NRSRO may retain one or more copies of any document or other material containing Evaluation Material to the extent necessary for legal or regulatory compliance (or compliance with the NRSRO’s internal policies and procedures designed to ensure legal or regulatory compliance) and (b) the NRSRO may retain any portion of the Evaluation Material that may be found in backup tapes or other archive or electronic media or other documents prepared by the NRSRO and any Evaluation Material obtained in an oral communication; provided, that any Evaluation Material so retained by the NRSRO will remain subject to this Confidentiality Agreement and the NRSRO will remain bound by the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement.

Exhibit P-2-4 

Violations of this Confidentiality Agreement.

The NRSRO will be responsible for any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by you, the NRSRO or any NRSRO Representative.

You agree promptly to advise each relevant Furnishing Entity in writing of any misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure or use by any person of the Confidential Information which may come to your attention and to take all steps reasonably requested by such Furnishing Entity to limit, stop or otherwise remedy such misappropriation, or unauthorized disclosure or use.

You acknowledge and agree that the Furnishing Entities would not have an adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed in the event that any of the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Furnishing Entity shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Confidentiality Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which a Furnishing Entity may be entitled at law or in equity. It is further understood and agreed that no failure to or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.

Term. Notwithstanding the termination or cancellation of this Confidentiality Agreement and regardless of whether the NRSRO has provided a credit rating on a Security, your obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement will survive indefinitely.

Governing Law. This Confidentiality Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under the Confidentiality Agreement, the relationships of the parties and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within such State.

Amendments. This Confidentiality Agreement may be modified or waived only by a separate writing by the NRSRO and each Furnishing Entity.

Entire Agreement. This Confidentiality Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and the Furnishing Entities relating to the treatment of Confidential Information heretofore or hereafter reviewed or inspected by you. This agreement supersedes all other understandings and agreements between us relating to such matters; provided, however, that, if the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement conflict with another agreement relating to the Confidential Information that specifically states that the terms of such agreement shall supersede, modify or amend the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement, then to the extent the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement conflict with such agreement, the terms of such agreement shall control notwithstanding acceptance by you of the terms hereof by entry into this website.

The Special Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee and its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by reason or result of the negligent use, or negligent or willful misuse, of this Limited Power of Attorney by the Special Servicer.

This Limited Power of Attorney is entered into and shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles of such state.

Third parties without actual notice may rely upon the exercise of the power granted under this Limited Power of Attorney; and may be satisfied that this Limited Power of Attorney shall continue in full force and effect and has not been revoked unless an instrument of revocation has been made in writing by the undersigned.

Exhibit U-1

Re: BANK 2017-BNK4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-BNK4

Mortgage Loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) identified by loan number _____ [and loan number [_______]] on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and heretofore secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule by the following names:____________________
____________________

Reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described above. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, we hereby:

(a)   Notify you that the Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, of the type checked below:

____ a full defeasance of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; or

____ a partial defeasance of a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan that represents and, an allocated loan amount of $____________ or _______% of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan;

(b)  Certify that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions set forth with explanatory notes on Exhibit A hereto, which exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standards, will have no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:

(i)     The Mortgage Loan documents permit the defeasance, and the terms and conditions for defeasance specified therein were satisfied in all material respects in completing the defeasance.

(ii)    The defeasance was consummated on __________, 20__.

(iii)  The defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) constitute “government securities” as defined in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (15 U.S.C. 80A1), (ii) are listed as “Qualified Investments for ‘AAA’ Financings” under Paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of “Cash Flow Approach” in Standard & Poor’s Public Finance Criteria 2000, as amended to the date of the defeasance, (iii) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity cannot vary or change, and (iv) are not subject to prepayment, call or early redemption.

(iv)   The Master Servicer received an opinion of counsel (from counsel approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

Exhibit U-2

(v)    The Master Servicer determined that the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) that is a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in Standard & Poor’s Structured Finance Ratings Real Estate Finance Criteria, as amended to the date of the defeasance (the “S&P Criteria”)) or is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organization documents of the original Borrower with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose as of the date of the defeasance, and after the defeasance owns no assets other than the defeasance collateral and real property securing Mortgage Loans included in the pool.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2017 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer. Defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

[Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”)/Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC (“Rialto”)] understands that [____] (the “Company”) is requesting certain confidential or non-public information relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Company has continuing rights as a Certificateholder. The Company is requesting such information for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Company may have under the Trust (the “Permitted Purpose”). The Company agrees that the Permitted Purpose shall not include the use or disclosure of the Confidential Information (as defined below) in any manner that violates any applicable law, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related mortgage loan documents.

[Wells Fargo/Rialto] will provide the Company with certain confidential, non-public servicing information (the “Confidential Information”) pertaining to the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties and borrowers. The Company acknowledges that the Confidential Information (a) includes or may be based upon information provided to [Wells Fargo/ Rialto] by third parties, (b) may not have been verified by [Wells Fargo/Rialto], and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. The Company agrees that [Wells Fargo/ Rialto], the [“Master

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not constitute “Confidential Information” for purposes of this letter agreement: (a) information that was already in Company’s possession prior to its receipt from [Wells Fargo/Rialto]; (b) information that is obtained by Company from a third person who, insofar as is known to Company, is not prohibited from transmitting the information to Company by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to [Wells Fargo/ Rialto]; (c) information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Company; and (d) information that is independently developed by Company. The term “Representatives” with respect to any entity shall mean the officers, directors, general partners, employees, agents, affiliates, auditors and legal counsel (which may be internal counsel) of that entity.

The Company may have access to the Confidential Information through (at [Wells Fargo/Rialto]’s election): (i) responses to reasonable written inquiries received from the Company, (ii) conference calls conducted on a reasonably scheduled basis with [Wells Fargo/ Rialto]’s surveillance group, or (iii) direct on-line access (read-only capacity) to the information available on the applicable [____] system or any successor or replacement system (“System”). [Wells Fargo/ Rialto] may cease or defer providing the Company with Confidential Information in the event that (a) the Company or its Representatives violate any provision hereof, or (b) [Wells Fargo/ Rialto] determines (in its sole discretion) that such termination is necessary for any reason, including its determination that such action is required pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan documents, or any applicable law. [Wells Fargo/Rialto] shall cease to provide the Company with Confidential Information if [Wells Fargo/Rialto] has actual knowledge that the Company or its Representatives are affiliates of any borrower under the Mortgage Loan documents and [Wells Fargo/Rialto] determines that the provision, notice or access to such Confidential Information would violate the accepted servicing practices or servicing standards as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Company’s obligations and the restrictions applicable to the protection of the Confidential Information hereunder shall survive the termination of the Company’s access to the Confidential Information. [Wells Fargo/ Rialto]’s remedies hereunder, at law or at equity, are cumulative and may be combined.

The Company agrees that it will not, and it shall not permit its Representatives, to disclose the Confidential Information in any manner whatsoever to any other person or entity, other than its Representatives (but only to the extent necessary to accomplish the Permitted Purpose) who have a need to know the information, or as otherwise required by applicable law, court order or any governmental agency or regulator. The Company acknowledges (i) its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, and (ii) that any disclosure of the Confidential Information by it or its Representatives for any purpose other than a Permitted Purpose, in addition to being a breach of this letter agreement, may constitute a violation of federal and state securities laws. The Company will take reasonable measures to ensure that each Representative is advised of this letter agreement and agrees to keep the Confidential Information confidential. The Company shall be liable for any breach of this letter agreement by its Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may subsequently provide all or any part of such Confidential

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without the application of conflict of laws principles. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, [Wells Fargo/Rialto] intends at all times to comply with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and nothing in this letter agreement should be construed to limit or qualify any of [Wells Fargo/Rialto]’s rights or obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile/Portable Document Format (PDF); each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one agreement.

This agreement shall terminate with respect to the information received by the Company one year after the Company receives such information or ceases to be a Certificateholder. Company agrees that this letter agreement supersedes and replaces and survives any click-through agreement regarding confidentiality of Confidential Information agreed to in connection with accessing the System whether agreed to in accessing the System before or after signing this letter agreement.

ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “PSA”), the Asset Representations Reviewer (“Asset Representations Reviewer”) shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller only with respect to each Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth below (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in this Exhibit PP if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the PSA or, solely with respect to a representation and warranty, the meaning set forth in the related mortgage loan purchase agreement (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the performance of the following Tests:

(A) With respect to any representation and warranty that includes a knowledge qualifier (e.g., to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, etc.), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be responsible for any investigation or review beyond that set forth in the applicable Test related to such representation and warranty;

(B) With respect to any representation and warranty that includes the examination of an insurance policy or Title Policy, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be permitted to engage a qualified consultant to perform a review of the applicable policy, and will be allowed to rely upon the conclusions of the consultant when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

(C) The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be under no duty to provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion;

(D) Unless otherwise provided in the Test, the “as of” date for the testing of a representation is as of the Closing Date;

(E) Unless otherwise provided in the Test, if there is more than one version of the same document with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, the document that will be used by the Asset Representations Reviewer in testing is the document that is dated as of the Closing Date or, if none, the document closest prior to the Closing Date;

(F) With respect to each representation and warranty and its related Test(s), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall take into account any exceptions to such representation and warranty described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan, and a Test pass shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Test if the sole reason for not satisfying the applicable Test is caused by such exception(s);

(G) Evidence of a failure of a Test could result from (i) an affirmative determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer that the Test failed to achieve a Test pass, or (ii) a determination by Asset Representations Reviewer that the documentation included in the Review Materials (after making such request for any missing documents in the manner provided for in the PSA) is not sufficient to perform the Test; and

(H) A determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer of a Test pass or a Test failure shall not constitute a determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer of (i) the existence or nonexistence of a Material

BANK 2017-BNK4
PP-1

Defect, or (ii) whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will only be required to perform the Tests described in this Exhibit PP, and will not be obligated to perform additional procedures on any Delinquent Loan. Notwithstanding the required Tests, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any information other than (1) Review Materials specified in the related Test and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information. The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider Unsolicited Information relevant to the Tests subject to the terms of the PSA. If the Asset Representations Reviewer considers Unsolicited Information, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall take into account such Unsolicited Information, in addition to the Review Materials referred to in the applicable Test(s) procedure when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment		Insurance Rating Requirements.

Certification

I, George Kok, certify as of May 5, 2017 that:

1.I have reviewed the prospectus relating to those classes of Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2017-C33, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C33, the offer and sale of which are registered (the “securities”) and am familiar with, in all material respects, the following: The characteristics of the securitized assets underlying the offering (the “securitized assets”), the structure of the securitization, and all material underlying transaction agreements as described in the prospectus;

2.Based on my knowledge, the prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading;

3.Based on my knowledge, the prospectus and other information included in the registration statement of which it is a part fairly present, in all material respects, the characteristics of the securitized assets, the structure of the securitization and the risks of ownership of the securities, including the risks relating to the securitized assets that would affect the cash flows available to service payments or distributions on the securities in accordance with their terms; and

4.Based on my knowledge, taking into account all material aspects of the characteristics of the securitized assets, the structure of the securitization, and the related risks as described in the prospectus, there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the securitization is structured to produce, but is not guaranteed by this certification to produce, expected cash flows at times and in amounts to service scheduled payments of interest and the ultimate repayment of principal on the securities (or other scheduled or required distributions on the securities, however denominated) in accordance with their terms as described in the prospectus.

Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated May 4, 2017, between Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC (“Seller”) and Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (“Purchaser”).

Seller agrees to sell, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, certain mortgage loans listed on Exhibit 1 hereto (the “Mortgage Loans”), each of which is evidenced by one or more related notes or other evidence of indebtedness (each a “Mortgage Note”) evidencing the indebtedness of the related obligor under the related Mortgage Loan (each a “Mortgagor”), as described herein. Purchaser will convey the Mortgage Loans to a trust (the “Issuing Entity”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), to be dated as of May 1, 2017, between Purchaser, as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), as certificate registrar (in such capacity, the “Certificate Registrar”), and as authenticating agent (in such capacity, the “Authenticating Agent”). In exchange for the Mortgage Loans and certain other mortgage loans to be purchased by Purchaser (collectively the “Other Mortgage Loans”), the Issuing Entity will issue to the Depositor pass-through certificates to be known as Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2017-C33, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C33 (the “Certificates”) and the VRR Interest. The Certificates and the VRR Interest will be issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates (the “Public Certificates”) will be sold by Purchaser to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., as underwriters (in such capacities, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, between Purchaser, Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC and the Underwriters, dated as of the date hereof (the “Underwriting Agreement”), and the Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class V and Class R Certificates (the “Private Certificates”) will be sold by Purchaser to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., as initial purchasers (in such capacities, the “Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to a Certificate Purchase Agreement, between Purchaser, Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC and the Initial Purchasers, dated as of the date hereof (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”). The Purchaser intends to transfer the VRR Interest at the direction of the Seller to Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., Bank of America, National Association and KeyBank National Association pursuant to the VRR Interest Transfer Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2017 (the “VRR Interest Transfer Agreement”), by and among the Depositor, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., Bank of America, National Association and KeyBank National Association. The Underwriters will offer the Public Certificates for sale publicly pursuant to a Preliminary Prospectus dated April 26, 2017 (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) and a Prospectus dated May 5, 2017 (the “Prospectus”), and the Initial Purchasers will offer the Private Certificates for sale in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act

of 1933 pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum dated May 5, 2017 (the “Final Memorandum”) and a preliminary version thereof dated April 26, 2017 (the “Preliminary Memorandum”).

In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

1.            AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE.

1.1       Seller agrees to sell, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, on a servicing released basis, the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) annexed hereto as Exhibit 1, as such schedule may be amended to reflect the actual Mortgage Loans accepted by Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof. The Cut-off Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan is the respective due date for such Mortgage Loan in May 2017 (or, in the case of any Mortgage Loan that has its first (1^st) due date after May 2017, the date that would have been its due date in May 2017 under the terms of such Mortgage Loan if a monthly debt service payment were scheduled to be due in that month). The Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance as of the close of business on the Cut-off Date, after giving effect to any payments during or prior to May 2017, whether or not received, of $274,578,892. The sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on May 11, 2017 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). The purchase price to be paid by Purchaser for the Mortgage Loans shall equal a combination of (i) the portion of the VRR Interest transferred to Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. pursuant to the VRR Interest Transfer Agreement and (ii) the cash amount to be set forth as such purchase price in the Bill of Sale (substantially in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto), to be entered into between the parties to this Agreement in connection with this Agreement and the issuance of the Certificates (the “Bill of Sale”). The cash portion of the purchase price shall be paid to Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the Closing Date.

1.2       On the Closing Date, Purchaser will assign to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and its rights under this Agreement (to the extent set forth in Section 14 hereof), and the Trustee shall succeed to such right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement (to the extent set forth in Section 14 hereof).

2.            CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS.

2.1       Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the consideration referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, Seller does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Purchaser, without recourse, except as specifically provided herein, all the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as of the Closing Date, with the understanding that a servicing rights purchase and sale agreement or comparable agreement may be executed by Seller and the Master Servicer. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by

2

Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any other documents contemplated to be delivered by Seller under Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, that with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, Seller’s assignment of the related Intercreditor Agreement is limited to an assignment of its rights thereunder as holder of the related Mortgage Loan. Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to Seller). The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time on or prior to the Closing Date, shall conform to the requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

2.2         In connection with Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.1 above, Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (viii), (x) and (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (provided, that if any such document (other than a document specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) is not available on the Closing Date, it shall be delivered to the Custodian in accordance with clause (y) below) and (y) on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be provided under Sections 2.01(b) or (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any item), except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date (which delivery shall be subject to Section 2.2.1 below), the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and any other items contemplated to be delivered or deposited by Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than amounts from reserve accounts (which shall be delivered in accordance with Section 2.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and originals of letters of credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan, and shall take such other actions and pay such costs with respect to the Mortgage Loans as may be contemplated to be taken or paid by Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) and 3.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

In addition, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to the Custodian five (5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4 in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to sign and/or submit, or to cause the Custodian to sign and/or submit for recording, at the expense of Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be recorded as described in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)). Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document

3

described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of notice of such absence to Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall submit such documents for recording, at Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not submit such assignments for recording if Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.

2.2.1       Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, (A) if the Custodian is not also the related Non-Serviced Custodian, (1) the preceding document delivery requirements shall be met by the delivery by Seller of copies of the documents specified above (other than the Mortgage Notes (and all intervening endorsements) respectively evidencing such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, with respect to which the originals shall be required), including a copy of the Mortgage securing the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and (2) the requirement to deliver any of the preceding documents in the name of the Trustee shall be met by the delivery of such documents in the name of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Trustee for the benefit of, among others, the Trustee, as holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, or (B) if (and only for so long as) the Custodian is also the related Non-Serviced Custodian, the preceding document delivery requirements shall be met by (1) delivery by Seller to the Custodian of originals of the documents described in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and (2) custody of the documents specified in clauses (ii) through (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” by the related Non-Serviced Custodian pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA; provided, that if any document specified in clauses (ii) – (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” was not or was not required to be delivered to the related Non-Serviced Custodian in connection with the securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, Seller shall deliver such document to the Custodian; provided, further, that the Custodian has made, and complies with, the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the second proviso to clause (B) of the third to last paragraph of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

2.3           [Reserved].

2.4           In addition, with respect to the Mortgaged Properties identified as “Hyatt Regency Austin,” “Quality Inn Denver CO” and “Holiday Inn Express Quakertown” on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which are each subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners and or otherwise have a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) issued in the name of the Turstee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners, Seller or its designee shall provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor (with a copy of such notice or request to the Master Servicer) within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter).

4

2.5       In connection with Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.1 above, Seller, at its expense, shall deliver or make available to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered or made available to and deposited with, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the following items: (i) within the timeframes for delivery set forth in Section 2.2 above, a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of instruments of assignment will be delivered by the Custodian when the originals are returned or delivered, as applicable, to it in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); (ii) within the timeframe for delivery set forth in Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the Servicing File with respect to each Mortgage Loan (provided that Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses of Seller or its Affiliates, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda, credit underwriting or other analyses or data and other internal approval documents); and (iii) within the timeframes for delivery set forth in Section 2.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, all unapplied reserve funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Whole Loans). In accordance with Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller shall, except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, at its sole cost and expense, cause each Assignment of Mortgage, each assignment of Assignment of Leases and each assignment of each UCC Financing Statement (collectively, the “Assignments” and each, individually, an “Assignment”) relating to the Mortgage Loans to be prepared in proper form for filing or recording, as applicable, and promptly (and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date and Seller’s actual receipt of the related documents and the necessary recording and filing information) submit such Assignments for filing or recording, as the case may be, in the applicable public filing or recording office. On the Closing Date, Seller may deliver one omnibus assignment for all Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit H to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the Custodian. Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect that it (or a certified copy thereof) should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following recording or filing (or to Seller or its agent who will then be responsible for delivery of the same to the Custodian or its designee). Any such Assignment received by Seller or its agent shall be required to be delivered to the Custodian to be included as part of the related Mortgage File within thirty (30) days after receipt. If any such document or instrument is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the recording or filing requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is to be recorded or filed, or is lost by the public office or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, on or about one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Seller or its designee shall prepare, at its own expense, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter Seller or its designee shall, at the expense of Seller, upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate. If, on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian advises Seller that the Custodian has not received confirmation of the recording or filing, as the case may be, of any such Assignment, Seller may then pursue such confirmation itself or request that the Custodian pursue such confirmation at Seller’s expense, and upon such a request and provision for payment of such expenses satisfactory to the Custodian, the Custodian, at the expense of Seller, shall cause a search of the land records of each applicable jurisdiction and of the records of the offices of the applicable Secretary of State for confirmation that the Assignment appears in such records and retain a copy of such confirmation in the related

5

Mortgage File. In the event that confirmation of the recording or filing of an Assignment cannot be obtained, the Custodian or Seller, as applicable, shall promptly inform the other and the Custodian shall provide Seller with a copy of the Assignment and request the preparation of a new Assignment. Seller shall cause (and pay the expenses for) the preparation of, and execute, replacement Assignments for any Assignments which, having been properly submitted for filing or recording to the appropriate governmental office by the Custodian, fail to appear of record and must be resubmitted.

To avoid the unnecessary expense and administrative inconvenience associated with the execution and recording or filing of multiple Assignments, Seller shall execute the Assignments relating to the Mortgage Loans naming the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners as assignee. Notwithstanding the fact that such Assignments shall name the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners as the assignee, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Mortgage Loans shall for all purposes be deemed to have been transferred from Seller to Purchaser and from Purchaser to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners.

2.6         Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File shall be vested in Purchaser and its assigns, and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the possession of Seller shall immediately vest in Purchaser and its assigns, and shall be delivered promptly by Seller to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) or the Master Servicer as set forth herein, subject to the requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Seller’s and Purchaser’s records shall reflect the transfer of each Mortgage Loan from Seller to Purchaser and its assigns as a sale.

2.7         It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and related property to Purchaser by Seller as provided in this Section 2 be, and be construed as, an absolute sale of the Mortgage Loans and related property. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and related property by Seller to Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of Seller. However, if, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans or any related property are held to be the property of Seller, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans or any related property, then:

2.7.1       this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement; and

2.7.2       the conveyance provided for in this Section 2 shall be deemed to be a grant by Seller to Purchaser of, and Seller hereby grants to Purchaser, a security interest in all of Seller’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in, to and under:

A.       All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit and investment property consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the following property: the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, security agreements, and title, hazard

6

and other insurance policies, all distributions with respect thereto payable after the Cut-off Date, all substitute or replacement Mortgage Loans and all distributions with respect thereto, and the Mortgage Files;

B.       All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, investment property and other rights arising from or by virtue of the disposition of, or collections with respect to, or insurance proceeds payable with respect to, or claims against other Persons with respect to, all or any part of the collateral described in clause (A) above (including any accrued discount realized on liquidation of any investment purchased at a discount); and

C.       All cash and non-cash proceeds of the collateral described in clauses (A) and (B) above.

2.8       The possession by Purchaser or its designee (including, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Trustee for the benefit of, among others, the Trustee, as holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) of the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, and such other goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, instruments, money, documents, chattel paper or certificated securities shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party or possession by a purchaser for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC (including, without limitation, Section 9-313 thereof) as in force in the relevant jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the perfection of any such security interest.

2.9       Notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts, or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or Persons holding for, Purchaser or its designee, as applicable, for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

2.10     Seller hereby agrees to provide Purchaser with prompt notice of any information it receives which indicates that the transfer of each Mortgage Loan from Seller to Purchaser may not be treated as a sale. Seller shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. In such case, Seller hereby authorizes the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian to file all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the UCC as in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect such security interest in such property. In connection herewith, Purchaser shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the UCC as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.

2.11     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and subject to Section 2.1 hereof, Purchaser shall not be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which any Mortgage Note required to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) or the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 2 on or before the Closing Date is not so delivered, or is

7

not properly executed or is defective on its face, and Purchaser’s acceptance of the related Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date shall in no way constitute a waiver of such omission or defect or of Purchaser’s or its successors’ and assigns’ rights in respect thereof pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

3.           EXAMINATION OF MORTGAGE FILES AND DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW.

3.1       Seller shall (i) deliver to Purchaser on or before the Closing Date a diskette acceptable to Purchaser that contains such information about the Mortgage Loans as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, (ii) deliver to Purchaser on or before the Closing Date investor files (collectively the “Collateral Information”) with respect to the Mortgage Loans proposed to be included in the Issuing Entity and made available at Purchaser’s headquarters in New York, and (iii) otherwise cooperate fully with Purchaser in its examination of the credit files, underwriting documentation and Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans and its due diligence review of the Mortgage Loans. The fact that Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the credit files, underwriting documentation or Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans shall not affect the right of Purchaser or the Trustee to cause Seller to cure any Material Defect, or to repurchase or replace the defective Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

3.2       On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall allow representatives of Purchaser and any designees thereof to examine and audit all books, records and files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans, Seller’s underwriting procedures and Seller’s ability to perform or observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement. Such examinations and audits shall take place upon reasonable prior advance notice at one or more offices of Seller during normal business hours and shall not be conducted in a manner that is disruptive to Seller’s normal business operations. In the course of such examinations and audits, Seller will make available to such representatives of Purchaser and any designees thereof reasonably adequate facilities, as well as the assistance of a sufficient number of knowledgeable and responsible individuals who are familiar with the Mortgage Loans and the terms of this Agreement, and Seller shall cooperate fully with any such examination and audit in all material respects. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with all material information regarding Seller’s financial condition and access to knowledgeable financial or accounting officers for the purpose of answering questions with respect to Seller’s financial condition, financial statements as provided to Purchaser or other developments affecting Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise affecting Seller in any material respect. Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall provide the Master Servicer with any additional information identified by the Master Servicer as necessary to complete the CREFC^® Property File, to the extent that such information is available to Seller.

3.3       Purchaser may exercise any of its rights hereunder through one or more designees or agents, provided Purchaser has provided Seller with prior notice of the identity of such designee or agent.

3.4       Purchaser shall keep confidential any information regarding Seller and, to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loans that has been delivered into Purchaser’s possession and that is not otherwise publicly available;

8

provided, that such information shall not be kept confidential (and the right to require confidentiality under any confidentiality agreement is hereby waived) to the extent Purchaser deems such information necessary and appropriate or required to be included in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or any other disclosure document relating to the Certificates or the VRR Interest or Purchaser is required by law or court order to disclose such information. If Purchaser is required or otherwise deems it necessary and appropriate to disclose in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, the Prospectus or any other disclosure document relating to the Certificates and the VRR Interest confidential information regarding Seller as described in the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall provide to Seller a copy of the proposed form of such disclosure prior to making such disclosure and Seller shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, notify Purchaser of any inaccuracies therein, in which case Purchaser shall modify such form in a manner that corrects such inaccuracies. If Purchaser is required by law or court order to disclose confidential information regarding Seller as described in the second preceding sentence, Purchaser shall notify Seller and cooperate in Seller’s efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information and, if in the absence of a protective order or such assurance, Purchaser is compelled as a matter of law to disclose such information, Purchaser shall, prior to making such disclosure, advise and consult with Seller and its counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of such disclosure and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if reasonably advised by counsel that Purchaser is required by a regulatory agency or court order to make such disclosure immediately, then Purchaser shall be permitted to make such disclosure without prior review by Seller and shall give Seller prompt notice of such disclosure.

9

affecting the rights of creditors generally, (C) general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) or (D) public policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to the extent that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement that purport to provide indemnification from liabilities under applicable securities laws.

4.1.3       No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is required, under federal or state law, for the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by Seller with this Agreement, or the consummation by Seller of any transaction contemplated hereby, other than (A) such qualifications as may be required under state securities or blue sky laws, (B) the filing or recording of financing statements, instruments of assignment and other similar documents necessary in connection with Seller’s sale of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser, (C) such consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications, registrations, filings or notices as have been obtained and (D) where the lack of such consent, approval, authorization, qualification, registration, filing or notice would not have a material adverse effect on the performance by Seller under this Agreement.

4.1.5       There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, Seller pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened in writing against Seller before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, the outcome of which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser or the execution or delivery by, or enforceability against, Seller of this Agreement or have an effect on the financial condition of Seller that would materially and adversely affect the ability of Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

4.1.6       On the Closing Date, the sale of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement will effect a transfer by Seller of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser.

10

4.1.7       To Seller’s knowledge, the information in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum as to which Seller is providing indemnification pursuant to that certain indemnification agreement, dated the date hereof, between Seller, Purchaser, the Underwriters, and the Initial Purchasers (the “Indemnification Agreement“, and such information the “Seller’s Information”) does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Seller has complied with the disclosure requirements of Regulation AB that arise from its role as “originator” and/or “sponsor” (and, if Seller was not the originator with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the role of the related originator as “originator”) in connection with the issuance of the Public Certificates. The review described under “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC—Review of MSMCH Mortgage Loans” in the Prospectus was designed and effected to provide reasonable assurance that the disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans in the Prospectus is accurate in all material respects. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Section 4.1.7 shall run exclusively to the benefit of Purchaser and no other party.

4.1.8       Seller hereby agrees to deliver to Purchaser (or with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into an Other Securitization, the depositor in such Other Securitization) and to the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure and any Form 8-K Disclosure Information set forth next to Seller’s name on Exhibit BB, Exhibit CC or Exhibit DD of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (in formatting reasonably appropriate for inclusion in such form) (collectively, “Seller Reporting Information”); provided, that Seller Reporting Information shall not be exclusive of any additional disclosure items specifically related to Seller or any related Mortgage Loan originator that may be added to Form 10-K, Form 10-D or Form 8-K subsequent to the date hereof that are required to be included in the Exchange Act reports related to the Issuing Entity if the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator provides Seller with notice of such additional requirements. Seller shall use its best efforts to deliver proposed disclosure language relating to any such event described under Items 1100(e), 1117, 1119 and/or 1124 (to the extent such Items are applicable to the Prospectus under Regulation AB, subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been (or may be) provided by the Commission or its staff from time to time) of Regulation AB and Item 1.03 to Form 8-K to the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, and Purchaser within one (1) Business Day and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days of Seller becoming aware of such event and shall provide disclosure relating to any other Seller Reporting Information required to be disclosed by Seller pursuant to this Section 4.1.8 on Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K within two (2) Business Days following Purchaser’s request for such disclosure language. In connection with providing such disclosure language and Seller’s reporting obligations under Item 1119 of Regulation AB, upon reasonable request by Seller, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a list of all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any Servicing Function Participant with respect to which it has received notice pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The obligation of Seller to provide the above-referenced disclosure materials shall be suspended (for so long as neither the Issuing Entity nor, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan related to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan sold to the Issuing Entity by Seller, the trust in the related Other Securitization, is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), as to any fiscal year, upon the

11

Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, filing the form necessary to be filed with the Commission to suspend the Issuing Entity’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as to that fiscal year in accordance with Section 11.08 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the reporting requirements with respect to the Issuing Entity under the Exchange Act have otherwise been automatically suspended; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the suspension of such information reporting does not apply to Seller Reporting Information that is required to be provided for the fiscal year prior to suspension of the Issuing Entity’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act (including Additional Form 10-K Disclosure required to be disclosed on the Form 10-K related to the fiscal year preceding the year in which the form necessary to be filed with the Commission to suspend the Issuing Entity’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act was filed). Purchaser shall provide Seller with notice (which notice may be sent via facsimile or by email) if the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, does file the form necessary to be filed with the Commission to suspend the Issuing Entity’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act pursuant to Section 11.08 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Seller hereby acknowledges that the information to be provided by it pursuant to this Section will be used in the preparation of reports meeting the reporting requirements of the Issuing Entity under Section 13(a) and/or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

With respect to each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, Seller (i) represents and warrants that it has caused each such Servicing Function Participant to be required to comply, as evidenced by written documentation between each such Servicing Function Participant and Seller or Master Servicer, with all reporting requirements set forth in Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including but not limited to the indemnification of each Certification Party from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of the delivery of any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable) applicable to such Servicing Function Participant for the Mortgage Loans, and (ii) covenants with Purchaser that, for so long as the Issuing Entity is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it shall cause each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date to be required to comply with all reporting requirements set forth therein.

4.1.9       Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered an electronic copy of the Diligence File for each Mortgage Loan to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence File to the IntraLinks Site, and each such Diligence File shall be organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and Seller.

4.1.10      Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall provide the Depositor (with a copy via e-mail to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor at the e-mail addresses set forth for such parties in Section 13.05 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) a certificate addressed to the Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of Seller certifying that the electronic copies of the documents uploaded to the IntraLinks Site constitute all documents required under the definition of “Diligence

12

File” and such Diligence Files are organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and Seller.

4.1.11       Seller shall deliver any additional documents requested of it by the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 12.01(b)(ii) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, but only to the extent such documents are in its possession (and, if such documents are not in its possession, solely with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, Seller shall make a request under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA for any such documents that are not in its possession). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no information that is proprietary to Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications or credit underwriting analysis shall constitute part of the Diligence File.

4.1.12       Upon the completion of an Asset Review with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger and the Mortgage Loans that are subject to such Asset Review and receipt of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, Seller shall no later than ten (10) Business Days after such request pay a fee equal to the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee.

4.1.13       Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event an Enforcing Party elects a dispute resolution method pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller shall abide by the selected dispute resolution method and otherwise comply with the terms and provisions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the exhibits thereto) related to the dispute resolution method.

4.1.14       Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to perform procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (such report, the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum. The Underwriters and Initial Purchasers are intended third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.1.14.

4.1.15       Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of or based upon (i) (x) any failure of Seller to pay the fees described under Section 4.1.12 above as a result of Seller being insolvent or (y) any other failure of Seller to pay the fees described under Section 4.1.12 above which such failure described in this clause (y) is not cured within ninety (90) days of the original written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) any failure by Seller to provide all documents required to be delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement and/or under the definition of “Diligence File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within

13

sixty (60) days of the Closing Date (or such later date specified herein or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). In addition, in connection with any vote of ABS Interest Holders held after an Asset Review Vote Election pursuant to Section 12.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller shall, upon request by the Certificate Administrator, reimburse the Certificate Administrator for its pro rata portion of the Certificate Administrator’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs of administering such vote (based on the outstanding principal balance of its Delinquent Loans relative to the aggregate outstanding principal of all Delinquent Loans that resulted in the relevant Asset Review Trigger).

4.1.16       In connection with any Repurchase Request referred to mediation pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller agrees to pay the portion of the expenses of such mediation allocated to it as mutually agreed by the parties to such mediation and in accordance with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, in connection with any Repurchase Request referred to arbitration pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller agrees to pay the portion of the costs of such arbitration allocated to it by the related arbitrator in such arbitrator’s reasonable discretion and in accordance with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

4.1.17       Seller hereby agrees that it shall be deemed to make to and for the benefit of Purchaser, as of the date of any substitution, with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Mortgage Loan, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit 2 to this Agreement. For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit 2, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution. From and after the date of substitution, any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes. A “Defective Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Defect.

To induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Seller hereby covenants that the foregoing representations and warranties and those set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto, subject to the exceptions set forth in Schedule 2-A to Exhibit 2, will be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date.

Each of the representations, warranties and covenants made by Seller pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes.

4.1.18       Seller hereby further agrees that with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into an Other Securitization, it shall, to the extent required under Section 11.15 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (i) pay or cause to be paid the out-of-pocket cost (including any reasonable attorney fees) of providing the information, opinion(s) of counsel, certifications and indemnification agreement(s) to the related Other Depositor by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 11.15 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) take all actions reasonably requested of it by the related Other Depositor to enable such Other Securitization to comply with Regulation AB.

14

4.2         To induce Seller to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller as of the date hereof:

4.2.1       Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted by it.

4.2.2       Purchaser has full power and authority to acquire the Mortgage Loans, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser has duly and validly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly and validly executed and delivered this Agreement. This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Seller, constitutes the valid, legal and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

4.2.3       No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is required, under federal or state law, for the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by Purchaser with this Agreement, or the consummation by Purchaser of any transaction contemplated hereby that has not been obtained or made by Purchaser.

4.2.4       Neither the purchase of the Mortgage Loans nor the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Purchaser will violate Purchaser’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws or constitute a default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in a breach of, any material agreement, contract, instrument or indenture to which Purchaser is a party or that may be applicable to Purchaser or its assets.

4.2.5       Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of any law, rule, writ, injunction, order or decree of any court, or order or regulation of any federal, state or municipal government agency having jurisdiction over Purchaser or its assets, which violation could materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or the operation of Purchaser or its assets or could materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations and duties hereunder.

4.2.6       There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, Purchaser pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against Purchaser before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, the outcome of which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans, the issuance of the Certificates and the VRR Interest, the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or have an effect on the financial condition of Purchaser that would materially and adversely affect the ability of Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

15

4.2.7       Purchaser has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person, other than Seller, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates, that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.2.8       Purchaser (A) prepared one or more reports on Form ABS-15G containing the findings and conclusions of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report and meeting the requirements of Form ABS-15G and Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act; (B) provided a copy of the final draft of each Form ABS-15G to the Underwriters and Initial Purchasers at least six (6) Business Days before the date hereof; and (C) furnished each Form ABS-15G to the Commission on EDGAR at least five (5) Business Days before the first sale of Certificates and the VRR Interest in the offering contemplated by the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum as required by Rule 15Ga-2.

To induce Seller to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby covenants that the foregoing representations and warranties will be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date.

Each of the representations and warranties made by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans.

5.            REMEDIES UPON BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY SELLER.

(a)       Seller shall (i) in the case of a Material Defect other than a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage (a “Qualified Mortgage Material Defect”), not later than ninety (90) days after Seller’s receipt of notice of or, if earlier, Seller’s discovery of such Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect, not later than eighty-five (85) days after the earlier of (x) the discovery by Seller or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of a Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (such ninety (90) or eighty-five (85) day period, as applicable, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Issuing Entity reasonably incurred by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan (provided that (x) such affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan was not itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and (y) in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” by a date not later than eighteen (18) months

16

following the Closing Date and, except with respect to a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period Seller has delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations, the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of Seller to have received the recorded document, then Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator no less frequently than every thirty (30) days thereafter that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, funds in the amount of the Purchase Price, together with the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to Section 4.1.12 above attributable to the Asset Review with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall be remitted by Seller by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.

If Seller, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan agrees to a Loss of Value Payment, pursuant to any agreement or a settlement between Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuing Entity (and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Special Servicer for deposit into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. 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 and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to Section 4.1.12 above attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and the Issuing Entity regarding the related Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of Seller to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuing Entity, provided, that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude Seller or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in this Agreement (excluding this paragraph) or the

17

Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

Seller’s obligation to cure any Material Defect or to repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan or, if Seller agrees to make a Loss of Value Payment, to pay the Loss of Value Payment pursuant to this Section 5 shall constitute the sole remedy available to Purchaser in connection with a Material Defect; provided, that this limitation shall not in any way limit Purchaser’s rights or remedies upon breach of any other representation or warranty or covenant by Seller set forth in this Agreement (other than those set forth in Exhibit 2).

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then Seller may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Issuing Entity (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Issuing Entity that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 4.1.12 above to the extent not previously paid to the Asset Representations Reviewer by Seller attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. Upon such remittance, Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to Seller.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall not be a Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Issuing Entity and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(b)       Whenever a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a Defective Loan by Seller as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special

18

Servicer, as applicable, Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to the corresponding replaced Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution (but after the related Cut-off Date), shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan on or prior to the Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to Seller promptly following receipt.

If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon any substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

If any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Crossed Mortgage Loan Group is required to be repurchased or substituted, the provisions of Section 2.03(h), Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.03(j) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall apply.

(c)       Seller shall be entitled, and Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to entitle Seller upon (A) deposit of the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5 in the account designated therefor by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee as the assignee of Purchaser (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee), (B) if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to this Section 5 to be delivered by Seller, and (C) delivery by Seller to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of a receipt executed by Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, to (i) a release of the Mortgage File and any other items previously required to be delivered by Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan to Seller or its designee, (ii) the execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by Seller and are reasonably necessary to vest in Seller or its designee the legal and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan (including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents, any portion of the related Servicing File and together with any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and any other items previously required to be delivered by Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, held by or on behalf of the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special

19

Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of Seller, and (iii) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Mortgagor of such transfer of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan.

(d)       [Reserved].

(e)       Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser shall have no liability to Seller for any failure of Seller or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than Purchaser itself) to perform its obligations provided for thereunder.

(f)       If Seller (i) receives from any Person (other than the Depositor) any request or demand for repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan because of a breach of a representation or warranty or a document defect (any such request or demand for repurchase or replacement, a “Repurchase Request”); (ii) rejects any Repurchase Request or is in dispute with the Person making any Repurchase Request as to the merits of such Repurchase Request (a “Dispute”); or (iii) receives any withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request, then Seller shall deliver notice of such Repurchase Request, rejection, Dispute or withdrawal (each, a “Seller 15Ga-1 Notice”) to the Depositor within ten (10) Business Days of Seller’s receipt thereof (or in the case of a rejection or Dispute, the occurrence thereof).

Each Seller 15Ga-1 Notice may be delivered by electronic means and shall identify (a) the date on which such Repurchase Request was received, rejected, first disputed or withdrawn, (b) the Mortgage Loan with respect to which such Repurchase Request was made, (c) the identity of the Person making such request, and (d) the basis, if any, asserted for such request or withdrawal by such Person (or, with respect to any notice of rejection or Dispute by Seller, the reason for such rejection or the nature of such Dispute).

Seller represents and warrants that any information Seller provides to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5(f) shall be true, complete and correct as of the date Seller provides such information to Purchaser.

(g)       Each of Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (i) a Repurchase Request Recipient under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will not, in connection with providing Seller or Purchaser with any 15Ga-1 Notice under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication or any information protected by the attorney work product doctrine, (ii) any 15Ga-1 Notice delivered to Seller or Purchaser under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided only to assist Seller, Purchaser and any of their respective Affiliates in complying with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and/or any other law or regulation, (iii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Repurchase Request Recipient and (B) no information provided to Seller or Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by a Repurchase Request Recipient, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request Recipient may have with respect to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (iv) receipt of a 15Ga-1 Notice or delivery of any notice required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5(f) shall not in and of itself constitute delivery, or receipt, of notice of any Material Defect or knowledge on the part of Seller of any Material Defect or admission by Seller of the existence of any Material Defect.

20

Seller shall provide to Purchaser relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that Seller is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act (only to the extent that such portions relate to any Repurchase Request with respect to any Mortgage Loan) on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Commission. Promptly upon request, Purchaser shall provide or cause to be provided to Seller such information regarding the principal balance of any Mortgage Loan as is necessary in order for Seller to prepare any such Form ABS-15G.

(h)       The fact that a Material Defect is not discovered until after completion of foreclosure (but in all instances prior to the sale of the related REO Property) shall not prejudice any claim against Seller for repurchase of the REO Property (or the Issuing Entity’s interest therein). After a final liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, if a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final order after the expiration of any applicable appeal period that Seller is or was obligated to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property (or the Issuing Entity’s interest therein) (a “Final Judicial Determination”) or Seller otherwise accepts liability, then, but in no event later than the termination of the Issuing Entity pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller shall pay to the Issuing Entity the difference between any Liquidation Proceeds received upon such liquidation in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including those arising from any sale to Seller) and the Purchase Price.

(i)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph 30 or paragraph 32 in Exhibit 2 hereto, and as a result the payments by a Mortgagor of reasonable costs and expenses associated with securing the consent or approval of the holder of the Mortgage for a waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause or the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan are insufficient such that the Issuing Entity incurs an additional trust fund expense in an amount equal to such reasonable costs and expenses not paid by such Mortgagor, Seller hereby covenants and agrees to reimburse the Issuing Entity within ninety (90) days of the receipt of notice of such breach in an amount sufficient to avoid such additional trust fund expense (and, if applicable, to pay the amount of any fees and expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer related to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan not previously paid by Seller).

(j)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that with respect to each Mortgage Loan subject to defeasance, Seller has retained the right of the lender under the Mortgage Loan documents to receive a percentage of the economic benefit associated with the ownership of the successor borrower, to designate and establish the successor borrower and to purchase (or cause the purchase on behalf of the related borrower of) the related defeasance collateral, in each case if there is a defeasance of such Mortgage Loan (“Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide that: (i) if the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan subject to defeasance, then the Master Servicer shall provide upon receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to Seller or its assignee; and (ii) until such time as Seller provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to Seller pursuant to the notice provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

EXHIBIT 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING
INDIVIDUAL MORTGAGE LOANS

(1)           Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan which is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Mortgage Loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Purchaser, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller, or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the trustee for the related Non-Serviced Securitization Trust), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to Purchaser constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

(2)           Mortgage Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

(3)           Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the

2-1

practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

(4)           Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty, and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related Mortgagor nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan.

(5)           Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or with respect to those Mortgage Loans described in paragraph (34) hereof, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph (6) set forth in Schedule 2-A to this Exhibit 2 (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date, to Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, to Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

(6)           Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title

2-2

Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for the related Crossed Mortgage Loan or Crossed Mortgage Loans; provided that none of such items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid, no claims have been made by Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

(7)           Junior Liens. It being understood that Subordinate Companion Loans secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Mortgage Loans, there are, as of origination, and to Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (5) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth in Schedule 2-A to this Exhibit 2, Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

(8)           Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions (and in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

2-3

(9)           UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted or caused to be submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

(10)         Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

(11)         Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, which could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Cut-off Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

(12)         Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

2-4

(13)         Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

(14)         Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to each Mortgage Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with lender under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by Seller to Purchaser or its servicer (or in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the depositor or servicer for the related Non-Serviced Securitization Trust).

(15)         No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Closing Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback).

(16)         Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (as defined below), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary, or containing such endorsements as are necessary, to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

“Insurance Ratings Requirements” means either (1) a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-“ from S&P or (2) the Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements. “Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements” means insurance provided by a syndicate of insurers, as to which (i) if such syndicate consists of 5 or more members, at least 60% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 40% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least BBB- by S&P, and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least

2-5

75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 25% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least BBB- by S&P.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization, (B) the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan or (C) the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property.

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by Seller for loans originated for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an

2-6

insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

(17)         Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

(18)         No Encroachments. To Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements

2-7

were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements obtained with respect to the Title Policy.

(19)         No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) or an equity participation by Seller.

(20)         REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan) was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-1(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

(21)         Compliance with Certain Laws. The Mortgage Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

(22)         Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.

(23)         Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee.

(24)         Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and as of the Cut-off Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) are insured by the Title Policy or a law and ordinance insurance policy or (ii) would not have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan. The terms of the Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

(25)         Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to Seller’s knowledge based upon a letter from any government authorities, zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

(26)         Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that such Mortgage Loan (a) becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with (or, alternatively, solicited or caused to be solicited) other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property

2-9

or controlling equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained by reason of Mortgagor’s (i) misappropriation of rents after the occurrence of an event of default under the Mortgage Loan; (ii) misappropriation of (A) insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or (B) security deposits or, alternatively, the failure of any security deposits to be delivered to lender upon foreclosure or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent applied in accordance with leases prior to a Mortgage Loan event of default); (iii) fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (v) commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.

(27)         Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (32) below), of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, (c) upon a Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (32) below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the Mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, in an amount not less than the amount required by the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, condemnation awards may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the

2-10

Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable.

No Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is a Crossed Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions.

(28)         Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements.

(29)         Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIPRA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, or damages related thereto except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided, that if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

(30)         Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the

2-11

Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (27) and (32) herein or the exceptions thereto set forth in Schedule 2-A to this Exhibit 2, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Schedule 2-C to this Exhibit 2, or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Schedule 2-D to this Exhibit 2 or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Serviced Companion Loan or Non-Serviced Companion Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Crossed Mortgage Loan, as set forth on Annex A-1 to the Prospectus or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

(31)         Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Both the Mortgage Loan documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance of $30 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Crossed Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

2-12

(32)         Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Mortgage Loan documents provide for Defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, the revenues from which will, in the case of a full Defeasance, be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty) or, if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial Defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (a) 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption that results in revenues from such collateral that are insufficient to pay all applicable payments described in clause (iii) above; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (vi) if the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the Mortgage Loan secured by Defeasance collateral is required to be assumed (or the Mortgagee may require such assumption) by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Mortgagee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with Defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with Defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

(33)         Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed.

(34)         Ground Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land (or, with respect to air rights leases, the air) and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner and does not include industrial development agency or similar leases for purposes of conferring a tax abatement or other benefit.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the

2-13

Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Seller, its successors and assigns, Seller represents and warrants that:

(a)           The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage;

(b)           The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease) that the Ground Lease may not be amended or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee, without the prior written consent of the lender, and no such consent has been granted by Seller since the origination of the Mortgage Loan except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

(c)           The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(d)           The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances, or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject;

(e)           The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable (including pursuant to foreclosure) to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

(f)            Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

(g)           The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, and provides that no notice of

2-14

default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender;

(h)           A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(i)            The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization;

(j)            Under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in clause (k) below) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(k)           In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

(l)            Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

(35)         Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been, in all respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.

(36)         Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of Seller (or the related originator if Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided, that such

2-15

representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit 2.

(37)         No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the date hereof, no Mortgage Loan is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments as of the Closing Date. To Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, provided, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by Seller in this Exhibit 2. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

(38)         Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

(39)         Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, and other than as disclosed in the Prospectus under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans; Multi-Property Mortgage Loans and Related Borrower Mortgage Loans,” no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another Mortgagor. An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (39) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.

(40)         Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of Recognized Environmental Conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material

2-16

noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated, abated or contained in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action, completion or closure letter or its equivalent, was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action or investigation is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P, Fitch and/or A.M. Best Company; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for the Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, the Mortgage File or the Prospectus, there is no Environmental Condition at the related Mortgaged Property.

(41)         Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Closing Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and that (i) was engaged directly by the originator of the Mortgage Loan or Seller, or a correspondent or agent of the originator of the Mortgage Loan or Seller, and (ii) to Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

(42)         Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be contained therein.

(43)         Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is outside the Trust, except (i) with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, any mortgage loan that is part of a Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Mortgage Loan or with a Whole Loan of which such Mortgage Loan is a part, (ii) any Companion Loan secured by the same Mortgage as the related Mortgage Loan, or (iii) as set forth on Schedule 2-B of this Exhibit 2.

2-17

(44)         Advance of Funds by Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, and, to Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan (other than as contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or Mortgage Loan documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.

(45)         Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan.

For purposes of these representations and warranties, the phrases “Seller’s knowledge” or “Seller’s belief” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth herein, the actual state of knowledge or belief of Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth herein.

EXCEPTIONS TO REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING

INDIVIDUAL MORTGAGE LOANS

Exhibit 1 ID#	Mortgage Loan	Representation	Exception
9	Calumet Business Center	(5) Lien; Valid Assignment (6) Permitted Liens; Title Insurance	Approximately 40 truck parking spaces are located on the shared boundary line between the Mortgaged Property and an adjacent parcel owned by an affiliate of the Mortgagor. In order to address future parking on these spaces, the Mortgagor and its affiliate entered into a Reciprocal Parking Agreement (“RPA”) which provides for shared parking on these spaces. The RPA is subordinate to an existing mortgage which currently encumbers the adjacent parcel. The Mortgage Loan documents contain a non-recourse carve-out for any losses resulting from a foreclosure on the adjacent parcel which extinguishes the RPA.
12	Ralph’s Food Warehouse Portfolio	(5) Lien; Valid Assignment (6) Permitted Liens; Title Insurance	With respect to the Ralph’s Food Warehouse – Caguas Mortgaged Property, McDonald’s, the second largest tenant at the Mortgaged Property, has a purchase option and a right of first refusal to purchase its leased space at the Mortgaged Property. Such purchase option and right of first refusal have not been subordinated, and accordingly apply to all transfers of the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and subsequent transfers. In the event that the purchase option is exercised or right of first refusal is triggered while the borrower owns the Mortgaged Property, the borrower has the right to obtain the release of the parcel leased by McDonald’s at the Mortgaged Property upon (i) prepayment of the Mortgage Loan in an amount equal to the greater of (a) an amount equal to $1,000,000 plus the payment to the lender of the yield maintenance premium on such amount and (b) an amount equal to 100% of the net sale proceeds plus the payment to the lender of the yield maintenance premium on such net sales proceeds and (ii) compliance with REMIC requirements.

35	Northside Shopping Center	(5) Lien; Valid Assignment (6) Permitted Liens; Title Insurance	The Mortgaged Property is subject to rights of reversion set forth in deeds recorded in 1927 and 1931, each of which contains a prohibition on the sale of intoxicating liquors on the Mortgaged Property, and provides that if intoxicating liquors are sold on the Mortgaged Property, ownership of the Mortgaged Property will revert to the original grantor under the 1927 and 1931 deeds, without requirement to make any payment to the borrower or the lender. Because the deeds were recorded prior to the Mortgage relating to the Mortgaged Property, upon such a reversion, the lien of the Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property would terminate. The Mortgage Loan documents require that, in the event of the reversion of title to the Mortgaged Property due to the sale of intoxicating liquor, the borrower will be required to prepay such Mortgage Loan within 30 days of written demand by the lender. No prepayment premium, yield maintenance premium or other prepayment consideration is required in connection with any such prepayment. The Mortgage Loan documents further provide that any failure to comply with such prepayment obligation is an event of default and is full recourse to the related borrower and guarantor. The borrower has not covenanted to restrict the sale of intoxicating liquor on the Mortgaged Property.
9	Calumet Business Center	(13) Taxes and Assessments	A 50-foot strip of the Mortgaged Property was previously conveyed by a nearby railroad to the seller of the Mortgaged Property; however, the Cook County tax records have not been properly updated to reflect this change. Since the transfer, the seller, as the owner of the strip, should have been paying taxes on the strip but has never been assessed due to the error in the local records. Based on a review by a tax consultant, borrower’s maximum liability for the unpaid taxes (as the new owner of the Mortgaged Property) is anticipated to be between $10,000 and $20,000. In order to address this issue the Mortgage Loan documents provide for (1) an additional recourse carve-out for any losses resulting from the strip being part of a tax parcel different from the Mortgaged Property, and (2) a covenant requiring borrower to use “commercially reasonable efforts” to correct the error in the local records.
3	Pentagon Center	(16) Insurance	Insurance policies may be issued by a syndicate of insurers through which at least 75% of the coverage (if there are 4 or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least 60% of the coverage (if there are 5 or more members of the syndicate) is with insurers having such ratings (provided that the first layers of coverage are from insurers rated at least “A” by S&P and “A2” by Moody’s (or, if Moody’s does not rate such insurer, at least “A: VIII” by AM Best), and all such insurers shall have ratings of not less than “BBB+” by S&P and “Baa1” by Moody’s (or, if Moody’s does not rate such insurer, at least “A: VIII” by AM Best)).

Annex A-1
ID# Mortgage Loan Representation Exception

			The borrower is permitted to maintain a portion of the property coverage with Starr Surplus Lines Insurance Company (“Starr”) in its current participation amount and position within the syndicate, provided that (x) the AM Best rating of Starr is not withdrawn or downgraded below the rating in effect with as of the Mortgage Loan and (y) at renewal of the current policy term, the borrower replaces Starr with an insurance company meeting the rating requirements set forth in the Mortgage Loan agreement.  Section 5.15(d) of the Mortgage Loan agreement does not specify that the insurance policies require at least 10 days prior notice to the lender of termination/ cancellation due to nonpayment and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination/cancellation for any other reason (only the business interruption policy referenced in Section 5.15(a)(vii) of the Mortgage Loan agreement specifies that Lender receive 30 day prior written notice of cancellation or 10 day prior written notice in the event of cancellation due to nonpayment).
33	Holiday Inn Express Quakertown	(16) Insurance	The borrower may continue to maintain property (including terrorism), liability and business interruption insurance provided by Miller Capital until June 1, 2017, notwithstanding that such insurer does not satisfy the insurance ratings requirements in representation 16.
1,3,9,10,12,13, 17,20,23,25,32 33,35,39	All MSMCH Mortgage Loans	(16) Insurance	The Mortgage Loan documents may allow the Mortgagor to obtain insurance from an insurer that does not meet the required rating if it obtains a “cut through endorsement” from an insurance company that meets the required rating. The Mortgage Loan documents may also allow the Mortgagor to obtain insurance from an insurer that does not meet the required rating if a parent company that owns at least 51% of the insurer has the required rating and use of such insurance is approved by the rating agencies. The threshold for lender having the right to hold and disburse insurance proceeds may be based on 5% of the original principal amount rather than 5% of the outstanding principal amount. In addition, all exceptions to Representation 29 set forth below for all MSMCH Mortgage Loans are also exceptions to this Representation 16.
9	Calumet Business Center	(18) No Encroachments	Building Encroachment: 64ft x 60ft section of Building 3 encroaches onto the railroad right of way. The lender’s title policy includes affirmative coverage to the lender covering the following: i) enforced removal of the building as a result of the encroachment onto the adjoining land; ii) loss or damage sustained by the lender as a result of a final court order enforcing the encroachment; and iii) costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in defense of the title company by reason of the encroachment. A recourse carve-out for losses was included in the Mortgage Loan documents concerning the building encroachment.

			Parking Encroachment: Forty-six trailer parking spaces located partially on the Mortgaged Property encroach onto the adjacent land (which land was taken for highway by condemnation proceeding dated October 14, 1970, Court Case 70-L-11820, Parcel S-898.2). The lender’s title policy includes affirmative coverage to the lender covering the following: i) enforced removal of the parking spaces as a result of the encroachment onto the adjoining land; ii) loss or damage sustained by the lender as a result of a final court order enforcing the encroachment; and iii) costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in defense of the title company by reason of the encroachment. A recourse carve-out for losses was included in the Mortgage Loan documents concerning the parking encroachment.
10	141 Fifth Avenue	(18) No Encroachments	No survey was obtained in connection with the Mortgage Loan.
25	Edgemar Center	(24) Local Law Compliance	The use of the Mortgaged Property is a legal non-conforming use, as the use of office, personal service, restaurant and retail require conditional use approval. Conditional use permits were obtained; however, the zoning report describes the use as a legal non-conforming use.
10	141 Fifth Avenue	(25) Licenses and Permits	A temporary certificate of occupancy (“TCO”) for the Mortgaged Property expires on June 26, 2017. The Mortgagor is required to (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights, if any, under the condominium documents to cause the condominium board to (i) maintain at all times and continue to renew the TCO on or before the then-applicable expiration date until a new, valid, permanent certificate of occupancy (“PCO”) and (ii) complete (or cause to be completed) all of the conditions required under applicable legal requirements for the issuance of the renewed TCO and/or PCO and (b) cause a copy of the renewed TCO and/or the PCO to be delivered to the lender promptly following the Mortgagor’s receipt of notice of or actually becoming aware of the issuance of the renewed TCO and/or PCO. The Mortgage Loan documents provide for recourse for losses for the failure to maintain (or cause to be maintained) at all times either (i) a valid TCO for the Mortgaged Property or (ii) a PCO for the Mortgaged Property.
3	Pentagon Center	(26) Recourse Obligations	There is no separate recourse carveout guarantor or environmental indemnitor. The borrower is the only obligated party as it relates to the recourse carveouts and springing recourse obligations.

1,3,9,10,12,13, 17,20,23,25,32 33,35,39	All MSMCH Mortgage Loans	(26) Recourse Obligations	The Mortgage Loan documents may provide that there will not be recourse for (i) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents to the extent of failure to comply with administrative requirements of notice and updated organizational charts for what would otherwise constitute permitted transfers and (ii) waste to the extent that waste results from there being insufficient cash flow to satisfy operating expenses at the Mortgaged Property, which results in material physical waste to the Mortgaged Property.
12	Ralph’s Food Warehouse Portfolio	(27) Mortgage Releases	A partial release of the McDonald’s demised premises is permitted in the event the McDonald’s tenant exercises its purchase option or right of first refusal to purchase such demised premises (the “Release Parcel”). The “Release Amount” required to be paid in connection with such partial release means the greater of (a) an amount equal to $1,000,000 plus the payment to lender of the yield maintenance premium on such amount, and (b) an amount equal to 100% of the net sale proceeds in connection with a sale of the Release Parcel plus the payment to lender of the yield maintenance premium on such net sale proceeds.
3	Pentagon Center	(29) Acts of Terrorism Exclusion	If the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 or similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then the related Mortgagor will not be required to spend on the premium for terrorism insurance coverage more than two (2) times the amount of the insurance premium for the property and business interruption insurance (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism, flood and earthquake insurance) required under the related Mortgage Loan agreement (provided that the related Mortgagor will be obligated to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism coverage available with funds equal to such cap to the extent such coverage is available).

The Cut-off Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan is the respective due date for such Mortgage Loan in May 2017 (or, in the case of any Mortgage Loan that has its first (1^st) due date after May 2017, the date that would have been its due date in May 2017 under the terms of such Mortgage Loan if a monthly debt service payment were scheduled to be due in that month). The Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance as of the close of business on the Cut-off Date, after giving effect to any payments during or prior to May 2017, whether or not received, of $224,215,899. The sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on May 11, 2017 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). The purchase price to be paid by Purchaser for the Mortgage Loans shall equal a combination of (i) the portion of the VRR Interest transferred to the Seller pursuant to the VRR Interest Transfer Agreement and (ii) the cash amount to be set forth as such purchase price in the Bill of Sale (substantially in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto), to be entered into between the parties to this Agreement in connection with this Agreement and the issuance of the Certificates (the “Bill of Sale”). The cash portion of the purchase price shall be paid to Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the Closing Date.

1.2          On the Closing Date, Purchaser will assign to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and its rights under this Agreement (to the extent set forth in Section 14 hereof), and the Trustee shall succeed to such right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement (to the extent set forth in Section 14 hereof).

2.           CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS.

2.1          Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the consideration referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, Seller does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Purchaser, without recourse, except as specifically provided herein, all the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as of the Closing Date, with the understanding that a servicing rights purchase and sale agreement or comparable agreement may be executed by Seller and the Master Servicer. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by

2

Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any other documents contemplated to be delivered by Seller under Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, that with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, Seller’s assignment of the related Intercreditor Agreement is limited to an assignment of its rights thereunder as holder of the related Mortgage Loan. Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to Seller). The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time on or prior to the Closing Date, shall conform to the requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

2.2          In connection with Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.1 above, Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (viii), (x) and (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (provided, that if any such document (other than a document specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) is not available on the Closing Date, it shall be delivered to the Custodian in accordance with clause (y) below) and (y) on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be provided under Sections 2.01(b) or (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any item), except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date (which delivery shall be subject to Section 2.2.1 below), the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and any other items contemplated to be delivered or deposited by Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than amounts from reserve accounts (which shall be delivered in accordance with Section 2.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and originals of letters of credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan, and shall take such other actions and pay such costs with respect to the Mortgage Loans as may be contemplated to be taken or paid by Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) and 3.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

In addition, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to the Custodian five (5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4 in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to sign and/or submit, or to cause the Custodian to sign and/or submit for recording, at the expense of Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be recorded as described in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)). Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document

3

described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of notice of such absence to Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall submit such documents for recording, at Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not submit such assignments for recording if Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.

2.2.1          Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, (A) if the Custodian is not also the related Non-Serviced Custodian, (1) the preceding document delivery requirements shall be met by the delivery by Seller of copies of the documents specified above (other than the Mortgage Notes (and all intervening endorsements) respectively evidencing such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, with respect to which the originals shall be required), including a copy of the Mortgage securing the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and (2) the requirement to deliver any of the preceding documents in the name of the Trustee shall be met by the delivery of such documents in the name of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Trustee for the benefit of, among others, the Trustee, as holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, or (B) if (and only for so long as) the Custodian is also the related Non-Serviced Custodian, the preceding document delivery requirements shall be met by (1) delivery by Seller to the Custodian of originals of the documents described in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and (2) custody of the documents specified in clauses (ii) through (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” by the related Non-Serviced Custodian pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA; provided, that if any document specified in clauses (ii) – (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” was not or was not required to be delivered to the related Non-Serviced Custodian in connection with the securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, Seller shall deliver such document to the Custodian; provided, further, that the Custodian has made, and complies with, the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the second proviso to clause (B) of the third to last paragraph of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

2.3          [Reserved].

2.4          In addition, with respect to the Mortgaged Property identified as “Key Center Cleveland” on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which is subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners or otherwise have a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners, Seller or its designee shall provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor (with a copy of such notice or request to the Master Servicer) within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter).

4

2.5          In connection with Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.1 above, Seller, at its expense, shall deliver or make available to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered or made available to and deposited with, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the following items: (i) within the timeframes for delivery set forth in Section 2.2 above, a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of instruments of assignment will be delivered by the Custodian when the originals are returned or delivered, as applicable, to it in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); (ii) within the timeframe for delivery set forth in Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the Servicing File with respect to each Mortgage Loan (provided that Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses of Seller or its Affiliates, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda, credit underwriting or other analyses or data and other internal approval documents); and (iii) within the timeframes for delivery set forth in Section 2.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, all unapplied reserve funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Whole Loans). In accordance with Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller shall, except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, at its sole cost and expense, cause each Assignment of Mortgage, each assignment of Assignment of Leases and each assignment of each UCC Financing Statement (collectively, the “Assignments” and each, individually, an “Assignment”) relating to the Mortgage Loans to be prepared in proper form for filing or recording, as applicable, and promptly (and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date and Seller’s actual receipt of the related documents and the necessary recording and filing information) submit such Assignments for filing or recording, as the case may be, in the applicable public filing or recording office. On the Closing Date, Seller may deliver one omnibus assignment for all Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit H to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the Custodian. Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect that it (or a certified copy thereof) should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following recording or filing (or to Seller or its agent who will then be responsible for delivery of the same to the Custodian or its designee). Any such Assignment received by Seller or its agent shall be required to be delivered to the Custodian to be included as part of the related Mortgage File within thirty (30) days after receipt. If any such document or instrument is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the recording or filing requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is to be recorded or filed, or is lost by the public office or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, on or about one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Seller or its designee shall prepare, at its own expense, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter Seller or its designee shall, at the expense of Seller, upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate. If, on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian advises Seller that the Custodian has not received confirmation of the recording or filing, as the case may be, of any such Assignment, Seller may then pursue such confirmation itself or request that the Custodian pursue such confirmation at Seller’s expense, and upon such a request and provision for payment of such expenses satisfactory to the Custodian, the Custodian, at the expense of Seller, shall cause a search of the land records of each applicable jurisdiction and of the records of the offices of the applicable Secretary of State for confirmation that the Assignment appears in such records and retain a copy of such confirmation in the related

5

Mortgage File. In the event that confirmation of the recording or filing of an Assignment cannot be obtained, the Custodian or Seller, as applicable, shall promptly inform the other and the Custodian shall provide Seller with a copy of the Assignment and request the preparation of a new Assignment. Seller shall cause (and pay the expenses for) the preparation of, and execute, replacement Assignments for any Assignments which, having been properly submitted for filing or recording to the appropriate governmental office by the Custodian, fail to appear of record and must be resubmitted.

To avoid the unnecessary expense and administrative inconvenience associated with the execution and recording or filing of multiple Assignments, Seller shall execute the Assignments relating to the Mortgage Loans naming the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners as assignee. Notwithstanding the fact that such Assignments shall name the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners as the assignee, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Mortgage Loans shall for all purposes be deemed to have been transferred from Seller to Purchaser and from Purchaser to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners.

2.6          Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File shall be vested in Purchaser and its assigns, and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the possession of Seller shall immediately vest in Purchaser and its assigns, and shall be delivered promptly by Seller to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) or the Master Servicer as set forth herein, subject to the requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Seller’s and Purchaser’s records shall reflect the transfer of each Mortgage Loan from Seller to Purchaser and its assigns as a sale.

2.7          It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and related property to Purchaser by Seller as provided in this Section 2 be, and be construed as, an absolute sale of the Mortgage Loans and related property. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and related property by Seller to Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of Seller. However, if, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans or any related property are held to be the property of Seller, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans or any related property, then:

2.7.1        this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement; and

2.7.2        the conveyance provided for in this Section 2 shall be deemed to be a grant by Seller to Purchaser of, and Seller hereby grants to Purchaser, a security interest in all of Seller’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in, to and under:

 A.          All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit and investment property consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the following property: the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, security agreements, and title, hazard

6

and other insurance policies, all distributions with respect thereto payable after the Cut-off Date, all substitute or replacement Mortgage Loans and all distributions with respect thereto, and the Mortgage Files;

B.           All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, investment property and other rights arising from or by virtue of the disposition of, or collections with respect to, or insurance proceeds payable with respect to, or claims against other Persons with respect to, all or any part of the collateral described in clause (A) above (including any accrued discount realized on liquidation of any investment purchased at a discount); and

C.           All cash and non-cash proceeds of the collateral described in clauses (A) and (B) above.

2.8          The possession by Purchaser or its designee (including, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Trustee for the benefit of, among others, the Trustee, as holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) of the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, and such other goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, instruments, money, documents, chattel paper or certificated securities shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party or possession by a purchaser for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC (including, without limitation, Section 9-313 thereof) as in force in the relevant jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the perfection of any such security interest.

2.9          Notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts, or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or Persons holding for, Purchaser or its designee, as applicable, for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

2.10        Seller hereby agrees to provide Purchaser with prompt notice of any information it receives which indicates that the transfer of each Mortgage Loan from Seller to Purchaser may not be treated as a sale. Seller shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. In such case, Seller hereby authorizes the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian to file all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the UCC as in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect such security interest in such property. In connection herewith, Purchaser shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the UCC as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.

2.11        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and subject to Section 2.1 hereof, Purchaser shall not be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which any Mortgage Note required to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) or the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 2 on or before the Closing Date is not so delivered, or is

7

not properly executed or is defective on its face, and Purchaser’s acceptance of the related Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date shall in no way constitute a waiver of such omission or defect or of Purchaser’s or its successors’ and assigns’ rights in respect thereof pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

2.12        Except with respect to the VRR Interest, Seller shall not (i) re-acquire the Mortgage Loans or any portion thereof or interest therein (other than as required in order to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) or (ii) acquire any Certificates or interests therein in amounts that may cause Seller to recognize the Mortgage Loans (or any portion thereof) as an asset of such Seller in its books and records. Seller has internal accounting and finance controls in place to, in each case (a) monitor any such re-acquisition of the Mortgage Loans or acquisition of the Certificates and (b) prevent any such recognition of the Mortgage Loans (or any portion thereof) as an asset of Seller. In the event Seller is required to recognize the Mortgage Loans (or any portion thereof) as an asset of Seller for tax and/or accounting purposes, Seller shall take immediate corrective action, such that the Mortgage Loans shall not be treated as an asset of Seller for tax or accounting purposes.

3.           EXAMINATION OF MORTGAGE FILES AND DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW.

3.1          Seller shall (i) deliver to Purchaser on or before the Closing Date a diskette acceptable to Purchaser that contains such information about the Mortgage Loans as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, (ii) deliver to Purchaser on or before the Closing Date investor files (collectively the “Collateral Information”) with respect to the Mortgage Loans proposed to be included in the Issuing Entity and made available at Purchaser’s headquarters in New York, and (iii) otherwise cooperate fully with Purchaser in its examination of the credit files, underwriting documentation and Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans and its due diligence review of the Mortgage Loans. The fact that Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the credit files, underwriting documentation or Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans shall not affect the right of Purchaser or the Trustee to cause Seller to cure any Material Defect, or to repurchase or replace the defective Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

3.2          On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall allow representatives of Purchaser and any designees thereof to examine and audit all books, records and files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans, Seller’s underwriting procedures and Seller’s ability to perform or observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement. Such examinations and audits shall take place upon reasonable prior advance notice at one or more offices of Seller during normal business hours and shall not be conducted in a manner that is disruptive to Seller’s normal business operations. In the course of such examinations and audits, Seller will make available to such representatives of Purchaser and any designees thereof reasonably adequate facilities, as well as the assistance of a sufficient number of knowledgeable and responsible individuals who are familiar with the Mortgage Loans and the terms of this Agreement, and Seller shall cooperate fully with any such examination and audit in all material respects. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with all material information regarding Seller’s financial condition and access to knowledgeable financial or accounting officers for the purpose of answering questions with respect to Seller’s financial condition, financial statements as provided to Purchaser or other developments affecting Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise

8

affecting Seller in any material respect. Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall provide the Master Servicer with any additional information identified by the Master Servicer as necessary to complete the CREFC^® Property File, to the extent that such information is available to Seller.

3.3          Purchaser may exercise any of its rights hereunder through one or more designees or agents, provided Purchaser has provided Seller with prior notice of the identity of such designee or agent.

3.4          Purchaser shall keep confidential any information regarding Seller and, to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loans that has been delivered into Purchaser’s possession and that is not otherwise publicly available; provided, that such information shall not be kept confidential (and the right to require confidentiality under any confidentiality agreement is hereby waived) to the extent Purchaser deems such information necessary and appropriate or required to be included in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or any other disclosure document relating to the Certificates or the VRR Interest or Purchaser is required by law or court order to disclose such information. If Purchaser is required or otherwise deems it necessary and appropriate to disclose in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, the Prospectus or any other disclosure document relating to the Certificates and the VRR Interest confidential information regarding Seller as described in the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall provide to Seller a copy of the proposed form of such disclosure prior to making such disclosure and Seller shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, notify Purchaser of any inaccuracies therein, in which case Purchaser shall modify such form in a manner that corrects such inaccuracies. If Purchaser is required by law or court order to disclose confidential information regarding Seller as described in the second preceding sentence, Purchaser shall notify Seller and cooperate in Seller’s efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information and, if in the absence of a protective order or such assurance, Purchaser is compelled as a matter of law to disclose such information, Purchaser shall, prior to making such disclosure, advise and consult with Seller and its counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of such disclosure and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if reasonably advised by counsel that Purchaser is required by a regulatory agency or court order to make such disclosure immediately, then Purchaser shall be permitted to make such disclosure without prior review by Seller and shall give Seller prompt notice of such disclosure.

4.           REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER AND PURCHASER.

4.1          To induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Seller hereby makes for the benefit of Purchaser and its assigns with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof (or as of such other date specifically set forth in the particular representation and warranty) each of the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto, except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 2-A attached to such Exhibit 2.

4.1.2        This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes the valid, legal and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (A) laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or moratorium, (B) other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, (C) general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) or (D) public policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to the extent that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement that purport to provide indemnification from liabilities under applicable securities laws.

4.1.3        No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is required, under federal or state law, for the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by Seller with this Agreement, or the consummation by Seller of any transaction contemplated hereby, other than (A) such qualifications as may be required under state securities or blue sky laws, (B) the filing or recording of financing statements, instruments of assignment and other similar documents necessary in connection with Seller’s sale of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser, (C) such consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications, registrations, filings or notices as have been obtained and (D) where the lack of such consent, approval, authorization, qualification, registration, filing or notice would not have a material adverse effect on the performance by Seller under this Agreement.

4.1.6        On the Closing Date, the sale of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement will effect a transfer by Seller of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser.

4.1.7        To Seller’s knowledge, the information in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum as to which Seller is providing indemnification pursuant to that certain indemnification agreement, dated the date hereof, between Seller, Purchaser, the Underwriters, and the Initial Purchasers (the “Indemnification Agreement“, and such information the “Seller’s Information”) does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Seller has complied with the disclosure requirements of Regulation AB that arise from its role as “originator” and/or “sponsor” (and, if Seller was not the originator with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the role of the related originator as “originator”) in connection with the issuance of the Public Certificates. The review described under “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—Bank of America, National Association—Review of Bank of America Mortgage Loans” in the Prospectus was designed and effected to provide reasonable assurance that the disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans in the Prospectus is accurate in all material respects. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Section 4.1.7 shall run exclusively to the benefit of Purchaser and no other party.

4.1.8        Seller hereby agrees to deliver to Purchaser (or with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into an Other Securitization, the depositor in such Other Securitization) and to the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure and any Form 8-K Disclosure Information set forth next to Seller’s name on Exhibit BB, Exhibit CC or Exhibit DD of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (in formatting reasonably appropriate for inclusion in such form) (collectively, “Seller Reporting Information”); provided, that Seller Reporting Information shall not be exclusive of any additional disclosure items specifically related to Seller or any related Mortgage Loan originator that may be added to Form 10-K, Form 10-D or Form 8-K subsequent to the date hereof that are required to be included in the Exchange Act reports related to the Issuing Entity if the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator provides Seller with notice of such additional requirements. Seller shall use its best efforts to deliver proposed disclosure language relating to any such event described under Items 1100(e), 1117, 1119 and/or 1124 (to the extent such Items are applicable to the Prospectus under Regulation AB, subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been (or may be) provided by the Commission or its staff from time to time) of Regulation AB and Item 1.03 to Form 8-K to the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, and Purchaser within one (1) Business Day and in any event no later than two (2)

11

Business Days of Seller becoming aware of such event and shall provide disclosure relating to any other Seller Reporting Information required to be disclosed by Seller pursuant to this Section 4.1.8 on Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K within two (2) Business Days following Purchaser’s request for such disclosure language. In connection with providing such disclosure language and Seller’s reporting obligations under Item 1119 of Regulation AB, upon reasonable request by Seller, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a list of all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any Servicing Function Participant with respect to which it has received notice pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The obligation of Seller to provide the above-referenced disclosure materials shall be suspended (for so long as neither the Issuing Entity nor, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan related to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan sold to the Issuing Entity by Seller, the trust in the related Other Securitization, is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), as to any fiscal year, upon the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, filing the form necessary to be filed with the Commission to suspend the Issuing Entity’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as to that fiscal year in accordance with Section 11.08 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the reporting requirements with respect to the Issuing Entity under the Exchange Act have otherwise been automatically suspended; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the suspension of such information reporting does not apply to Seller Reporting Information that is required to be provided for the fiscal year prior to suspension of the Issuing Entity’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act (including Additional Form 10-K Disclosure required to be disclosed on the Form 10-K related to the fiscal year preceding the year in which the form necessary to be filed with the Commission to suspend the Issuing Entity’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act was filed). Purchaser shall provide Seller with notice (which notice may be sent via facsimile or by email) if the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, does file the form necessary to be filed with the Commission to suspend the Issuing Entity’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act pursuant to Section 11.08 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Seller hereby acknowledges that the information to be provided by it pursuant to this Section will be used in the preparation of reports meeting the reporting requirements of the Issuing Entity under Section 13(a) and/or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

With respect to each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, Seller (i) represents and warrants that it has caused each such Servicing Function Participant to be required to comply, as evidenced by written documentation between each such Servicing Function Participant and Seller or Master Servicer, with all reporting requirements set forth in Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including but not limited to the indemnification of each Certification Party from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of the delivery of any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable) applicable to such Servicing Function Participant for the Mortgage Loans, and (ii) covenants with Purchaser that, for so long as the Issuing Entity is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it shall cause each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date to be required to comply with all reporting requirements set forth therein.

4.1.9        Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered an electronic copy of the Diligence File for each Mortgage Loan to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence File to the IntraLinks Site, and each such Diligence File shall be

12

organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and Seller.

4.1.10   Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall provide the Depositor (with a copy via e-mail to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor at the e-mail addresses set forth for such parties in Section 13.05 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) a certificate addressed to the Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of Seller certifying that the electronic copies of the documents uploaded to the IntraLinks Site constitute all documents required under the definition of “Diligence File” and such Diligence Files are organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and Seller.

4.1.11   Seller shall deliver any additional documents requested of it by the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 12.01(b)(ii) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, but only to the extent such documents are in its possession (and, if such documents are not in its possession, solely with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, Seller shall make a request under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA for any such documents that are not in its possession). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no information that is proprietary to Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications or credit underwriting analysis shall constitute part of the Diligence File.

4.1.12   Upon the completion of an Asset Review with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger and the Mortgage Loans that are subject to such Asset Review and receipt of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, Seller shall no later than ten (10) Business Days after such request pay a fee equal to the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee.

4.1.13   Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event an Enforcing Party elects a dispute resolution method pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller shall abide by the selected dispute resolution method and otherwise comply with the terms and provisions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the exhibits thereto) related to the dispute resolution method.

4.1.14   Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to perform procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (such report, the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum. The Underwriters and Initial Purchasers are intended third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.1.14.

13

4.1.15   Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of or based upon (i) (x) any failure of Seller to pay the fees described under Section 4.1.12 above as a result of Seller being insolvent or (y) any other failure of Seller to pay the fees described under Section 4.1.12 above which such failure described in this clause (y) is not cured within ninety (90) days of the original written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) any failure by Seller to provide all documents required to be delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement and/or under the definition of “Diligence File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date (or such later date specified herein or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). In addition, in connection with any vote of ABS Interest Holders held after an Asset Review Vote Election pursuant to Section 12.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller shall, upon request by the Certificate Administrator, reimburse the Certificate Administrator for its pro rata portion of the Certificate Administrator’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs of administering such vote (based on the outstanding principal balance of its Delinquent Loans relative to the aggregate outstanding principal of all Delinquent Loans that resulted in the relevant Asset Review Trigger).

4.1.16   In connection with any Repurchase Request referred to mediation pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller agrees to pay the portion of the expenses of such mediation allocated to it as mutually agreed by the parties to such mediation and in accordance with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, in connection with any Repurchase Request referred to arbitration pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller agrees to pay the portion of the costs of such arbitration allocated to it by the related arbitrator in such arbitrator’s reasonable discretion and in accordance with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

4.1.17   Seller hereby agrees that it shall be deemed to make to and for the benefit of Purchaser, as of the date of any substitution, with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Mortgage Loan, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit 2 to this Agreement. For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit 2, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution. From and after the date of substitution, any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes. A “Defective Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Defect.

To induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Seller hereby covenants that the foregoing representations and warranties and those set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto, subject to the exceptions set forth in Schedule 2-A to Exhibit 2, will be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date.

Each of the representations, warranties and covenants made by Seller pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes.

14

4.1.18   Seller hereby further agrees that with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into an Other Securitization, it shall, to the extent required under Section 11.15 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (i) pay or cause to be paid the out-of-pocket cost (including any reasonable attorney fees) of providing the information, opinion(s) of counsel, certifications and indemnification agreement(s) to the related Other Depositor by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 11.15 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) take all actions reasonably requested of it by the related Other Depositor to enable such Other Securitization to comply with Regulation AB.

4.2       To induce Seller to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller as of the date hereof:

4.2.1     Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted by it.

4.2.2     Purchaser has full power and authority to acquire the Mortgage Loans, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser has duly and validly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly and validly executed and delivered this Agreement. This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Seller, constitutes the valid, legal and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

4.2.3     No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is required, under federal or state law, for the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by Purchaser with this Agreement, or the consummation by Purchaser of any transaction contemplated hereby that has not been obtained or made by Purchaser.

4.2.4     Neither the purchase of the Mortgage Loans nor the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Purchaser will violate Purchaser’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws or constitute a default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in a breach of, any material agreement, contract, instrument or indenture to which Purchaser is a party or that may be applicable to Purchaser or its assets.

4.2.5     Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of any law, rule, writ, injunction, order or decree of any court, or order or regulation of any federal, state or municipal government agency having jurisdiction over Purchaser or its assets, which violation could materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or the operation of Purchaser or its assets or could materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations and duties hereunder.

15

4.2.6     There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, Purchaser pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against Purchaser before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, the outcome of which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans, the issuance of the Certificates and the VRR Interest, the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or have an effect on the financial condition of Purchaser that would materially and adversely affect the ability of Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

4.2.7     Purchaser has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person, other than Seller, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates, that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.2.8     Purchaser (A) prepared one or more reports on Form ABS-15G containing the findings and conclusions of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report and meeting the requirements of Form ABS-15G and Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act; (B) provided a copy of the final draft of each Form ABS-15G to the Underwriters and Initial Purchasers at least six (6) Business Days before the date hereof; and (C) furnished each Form ABS-15G to the Commission on EDGAR at least five (5) Business Days before the first sale of Certificates and the VRR Interest in the offering contemplated by the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum as required by Rule 15Ga-2.

To induce Seller to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby covenants that the foregoing representations and warranties will be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date.

Each of the representations and warranties made by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans.

5.           REMEDIES UPON BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY SELLER.

(a)          Seller shall (i) in the case of a Material Defect other than a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage (a “Qualified Mortgage Material Defect”), not later than ninety (90) days after Seller’s receipt of notice of or, if earlier, Seller’s discovery of such Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect, not later than eighty-five (85) days after the earlier of (x) the discovery by Seller or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of a Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (such ninety (90) or eighty-five (85) day period, as applicable, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Issuing Entity reasonably incurred by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage

16

Loan or successor REO Loan (provided that (x) such affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan was not itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and (y) in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date and, except with respect to a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period Seller has delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations, the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of Seller to have received the recorded document, then Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator no less frequently than every thirty (30) days thereafter that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, funds in the amount of the Purchase Price, together with the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to Section 4.1.12 above attributable to the Asset Review with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall be remitted by Seller by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.

If Seller, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan agrees to a Loss of Value Payment, pursuant to any agreement or a settlement between Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuing Entity (and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Special Servicer for deposit into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. 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 and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to Section 4.1.12 above attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve

17

as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and the Issuing Entity regarding the related Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of Seller to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuing Entity, provided, that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude Seller or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in this Agreement (excluding this paragraph) or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

Seller’s obligation to cure any Material Defect or to repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan or, if Seller agrees to make a Loss of Value Payment, to pay the Loss of Value Payment pursuant to this Section 5 shall constitute the sole remedy available to Purchaser in connection with a Material Defect; provided, that this limitation shall not in any way limit Purchaser’s rights or remedies upon breach of any other representation or warranty or covenant by Seller set forth in this Agreement (other than those set forth in Exhibit 2).

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then Seller may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Issuing Entity (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Issuing Entity that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 4.1.12 above to the extent not previously paid to the Asset Representations Reviewer by Seller attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. Upon such remittance, Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to Seller.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall not be a Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the

18

remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Issuing Entity and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(b)          Whenever a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a Defective Loan by Seller as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to the corresponding replaced Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution (but after the related Cut-off Date), shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan on or prior to the Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to Seller promptly following receipt.

If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon any substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

If any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Crossed Mortgage Loan Group is required to be repurchased or substituted, the provisions of Section 2.03(h), Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.03(j) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall apply.

(c)          Seller shall be entitled, and Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to entitle Seller upon (A) deposit of the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5 in the account designated therefor by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee as the assignee of Purchaser (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee), (B) if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to this Section 5 to be delivered by Seller, and (C) delivery by Seller to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of a receipt executed by Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, to (i) a release of the Mortgage File and any other items previously required to be delivered by Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan to Seller

19

or its designee, (ii) the execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by Seller and are reasonably necessary to vest in Seller or its designee the legal and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan (including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents, any portion of the related Servicing File and together with any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and any other items previously required to be delivered by Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, held by or on behalf of the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of Seller, and (iii) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Mortgagor of such transfer of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan.

(d)          [Reserved].

(e)          Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser shall have no liability to Seller for any failure of Seller or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than Purchaser itself) to perform its obligations provided for thereunder.

(f)           If Seller (i) receives from any Person (other than the Depositor) any request or demand for repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan because of a breach of a representation or warranty or a document defect (any such request or demand for repurchase or replacement, a “Repurchase Request”); (ii) rejects any Repurchase Request or is in dispute with the Person making any Repurchase Request as to the merits of such Repurchase Request (a “Dispute”); or (iii) receives any withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request, then Seller shall deliver notice of such Repurchase Request, rejection, Dispute or withdrawal (each, a “Seller 15Ga-1 Notice”) to the Depositor within ten (10) Business Days of Seller’s receipt thereof (or in the case of a rejection or Dispute, the occurrence thereof).

Each Seller 15Ga-1 Notice may be delivered by electronic means and shall identify (a) the date on which such Repurchase Request was received, rejected, first disputed or withdrawn, (b) the Mortgage Loan with respect to which such Repurchase Request was made, (c) the identity of the Person making such request, and (d) the basis, if any, asserted for such request or withdrawal by such Person (or, with respect to any notice of rejection or Dispute by Seller, the reason for such rejection or the nature of such Dispute).

Seller represents and warrants that any information Seller provides to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5(f) shall be true, complete and correct as of the date Seller provides such information to Purchaser.

(g)          Each of Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (i) a Repurchase Request Recipient under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will not, in connection with providing Seller or Purchaser with any 15Ga-1 Notice under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication or any information protected by the attorney work product doctrine, (ii) any 15Ga-1 Notice delivered to Seller or Purchaser under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided only to assist Seller, Purchaser and any of their respective Affiliates in complying with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and/or any other law or regulation, (iii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Repurchase Request Recipient

20

and (B) no information provided to Seller or Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by a Repurchase Request Recipient, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request Recipient may have with respect to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (iv) receipt of a 15Ga-1 Notice or delivery of any notice required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5(f) shall not in and of itself constitute delivery, or receipt, of notice of any Material Defect or knowledge on the part of Seller of any Material Defect or admission by Seller of the existence of any Material Defect.

Seller shall provide to Purchaser relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that Seller is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act (only to the extent that such portions relate to any Repurchase Request with respect to any Mortgage Loan) on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Commission. Promptly upon request, Purchaser shall provide or cause to be provided to Seller such information regarding the principal balance of any Mortgage Loan as is necessary in order for Seller to prepare any such Form ABS-15G.

(h)          The fact that a Material Defect is not discovered until after completion of foreclosure (but in all instances prior to the sale of the related REO Property) shall not prejudice any claim against Seller for repurchase of the REO Property (or the Issuing Entity’s interest therein). After a final liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, if a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final order after the expiration of any applicable appeal period that Seller is or was obligated to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property (or the Issuing Entity’s interest therein) (a “Final Judicial Determination”) or Seller otherwise accepts liability, then, but in no event later than the termination of the Issuing Entity pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller shall pay to the Issuing Entity the difference between any Liquidation Proceeds received upon such liquidation in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including those arising from any sale to Seller) and the Purchase Price.

(i)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph 30 or paragraph 32 in Exhibit 2 hereto, and as a result the payments by a Mortgagor of reasonable costs and expenses associated with securing the consent or approval of the holder of the Mortgage for a waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause or the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan are insufficient such that the Issuing Entity incurs an additional trust fund expense in an amount equal to such reasonable costs and expenses not paid by such Mortgagor, Seller hereby covenants and agrees to reimburse the Issuing Entity within ninety (90) days of the receipt of notice of such breach in an amount sufficient to avoid such additional trust fund expense (and, if applicable, to pay the amount of any fees and expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer related to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan not previously paid by Seller).

(j)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that with respect to each Mortgage Loan subject to defeasance, Seller has retained the right of the lender under the Mortgage Loan documents to receive a percentage of the economic benefit associated with the ownership of the successor borrower, to designate and establish the successor borrower and to purchase or cause the purchase on behalf of the related borrower of the related defeasance collateral, in each case if there is a defeasance of such Mortgage Loan (“Bank of

21

America Lender Successor Borrower Right”). Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide that (i) if the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan subject to defeasance, then the Master Servicer shall provide upon receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to Seller or its assignee and (ii) until such time as Seller provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Bank of America Lender Successor Borrower Right shall be delivered to Seller pursuant to the notice provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

7.6.4     Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Seller, nor the consummation by Seller of any of the transactions contemplated by the terms of this Agreement (A) conflicts with or results in a breach or violation of, or constitutes a default under, the organizational documents of Seller, (B) to the knowledge of such counsel, constitutes a default under any term or provision of any material agreement, contract, instrument or indenture, to which Seller is a party or by which it or any of its assets is bound or results in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of its property pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument, other than pursuant to this Agreement, or (C) conflicts with or results in a breach or violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any federal or State of New York court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over Seller or its assets, except where in any of the instances contemplated by clauses (B) or (C) above, any conflict, breach or default, or creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance, will not have a material adverse effect on the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Seller or materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations and duties hereunder or result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of Seller, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of Seller to carry on its business substantially as now conducted.

7.6.5     To his or her knowledge, there are no legal or governmental actions, investigations or proceedings pending to which Seller is a party, or threatened against Seller, (a) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or (b) which materially and adversely affect the performance by Seller of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement.

7.6.6     This Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (1) laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or moratorium, (2) other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, (3) general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) or (4) public policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to the extent that such public policy considerations

24

limit the enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement that purport to provide indemnification from liabilities under applicable securities laws.

Such opinion may express its reliance as to factual matters on, among other things specified in such opinion, the representations and warranties made by, and on certificates or other documents furnished by officers of, the parties to this Agreement.

In rendering the opinions expressed above, such counsel may limit such opinions to matters governed by the federal laws of the United States and the corporate laws of the State of Delaware and the State of New York, as applicable.

7.7          Such other opinions of counsel as any Rating Agency may request in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans by Seller to Purchaser or Seller’s execution and delivery of, or performance under, this Agreement, in each case also addressed to Purchaser, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers.

7.10        A letter from a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm in form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers, dated the date hereof, addressed to Purchaser, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers, to the effect that they have performed certain specified procedures as a result of which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, and the Prospectus agrees with the records of Seller.

7.11        Such further certificates, opinions and documents as Purchaser may reasonably request.

7.12        An officer’s certificate of Purchaser, dated the Closing Date, with the resolutions of Purchaser authorizing the transactions described herein attached thereto, together with certified copies of the charter, by-laws and certificate of good standing of Purchaser dated not earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date.

EXHIBIT 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING
INDIVIDUAL MORTGAGE LOANS

(1)Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan which is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Mortgage Loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Purchaser, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller, or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the trustee for the related Non-Serviced Securitization Trust), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to Purchaser constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

(2)Mortgage Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

(3)Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the

2-1 

practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

(4)Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty, and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related Mortgagor nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan.

(5)Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or with respect to those Mortgage Loans described in paragraph (34) hereof, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph (6) set forth in Schedule 2-A to this Exhibit 2 (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date, to Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, to Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

(6)Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title

2-2 

Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for the related Crossed Mortgage Loan or Crossed Mortgage Loans; provided that none of such items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid, no claims have been made by Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

(7)Junior Liens. It being understood that Subordinate Companion Loans secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Mortgage Loans, there are, as of origination, and to Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (5) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth in Schedule 2-A to this Exhibit 2, Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

(8)Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions (and in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

2-3 

(9)UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted or caused to be submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

(10)Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

   An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

(11)Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, which could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Cut-off Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

(12)Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

2-4 

(13)Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

(14)Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to each Mortgage Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with lender under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by Seller to Purchaser or its servicer (or in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the depositor or servicer for the related Non-Serviced Securitization Trust).

(15)No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Closing Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback).

(16)Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (as defined below), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary, or containing such endorsements as are necessary, to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

“Insurance Ratings Requirements” means either (1) a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” from S&P or (2) the Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements. “Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements” means insurance provided by a syndicate of insurers, as to which (i) if such syndicate consists of 5 or more members, at least 60% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 40% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least BBB- by S&P, and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least

2-5 

75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 25% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least BBB- by S&P.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization, (B) the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan or (C) the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property.

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by Seller for loans originated for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an

2-6 

insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

(17)Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

(18)No Encroachments. To Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements

2-7 

were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements obtained with respect to the Title Policy.

(19)No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) or an equity participation by Seller.

(20)REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan) was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-1(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

(21)Compliance with Certain Laws. The Mortgage Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

2-8 

(22)Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.

(23)Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee.

(24)Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and as of the Cut-off Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) are insured by the Title Policy or a law and ordinance insurance policy or (ii) would not have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan. The terms of the Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

(25)Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to Seller’s knowledge based upon a letter from any government authorities, zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

(26)Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that such Mortgage Loan (a) becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with (or, alternatively, solicited or caused to be solicited) other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property

2-9 

or controlling equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained by reason of Mortgagor’s (i) misappropriation of rents after the occurrence of an event of default under the Mortgage Loan; (ii) misappropriation of (A) insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or (B) security deposits or, alternatively, the failure of any security deposits to be delivered to lender upon foreclosure or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent applied in accordance with leases prior to a Mortgage Loan event of default); (iii) fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (v) commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.

(27)Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (32) below), of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, (c) upon a Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (32) below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the Mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, in an amount not less than the amount required by the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, condemnation awards may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the

2-10 

Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable.

No Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is a Crossed Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions.

(28)Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements.

(29)Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIPRA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, or damages related thereto except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided, that if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

(30)Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the

2-11 

Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (27) and (32) herein or the exceptions thereto set forth in Schedule 2-A to this Exhibit 2, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Schedule 2-C to this Exhibit 2, or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Schedule 2-D to this Exhibit 2 or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Serviced Companion Loan or Non-Serviced Companion Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Crossed Mortgage Loan, as set forth on Annex A-1 to the Prospectus or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

(31)Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Both the Mortgage Loan documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance of $30 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Crossed Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

2-12 

(32)Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Mortgage Loan documents provide for Defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, the revenues from which will, in the case of a full Defeasance, be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty) or, if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial Defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (a) 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption that results in revenues from such collateral that are insufficient to pay all applicable payments described in clause (iii) above; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (vi) if the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the Mortgage Loan secured by Defeasance collateral is required to be assumed (or the Mortgagee may require such assumption) by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Mortgagee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with Defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with Defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

(33)Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed.

(34)Ground Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land (or, with respect to air rights leases, the air) and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner and does not include industrial development agency or similar leases for purposes of conferring a tax abatement or other benefit.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the

2-13 

Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Seller, its successors and assigns, Seller represents and warrants that:

(a)              The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage;

(b)             The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease) that the Ground Lease may not be amended or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee, without the prior written consent of the lender, and no such consent has been granted by Seller since the origination of the Mortgage Loan except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

(c)              The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(d)             The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances, or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject;

(e)              The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable (including pursuant to foreclosure) to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

(f)              Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

(g)             The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, and provides that no notice of

2-14 

default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender;

(h)             A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(i)              The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization;

(j)              Under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in clause (k) below) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(k)             In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

(l)              Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

(35)Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been, in all respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.

(36)Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of Seller (or the related originator if Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided, that such

2-15 

representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit 2.

(37)No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the date hereof, no Mortgage Loan is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments as of the Closing Date. To Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, provided, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by Seller in this Exhibit 2. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

(38)Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

(39)Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, and other than as disclosed in the Prospectus under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans; Multi-Property Mortgage Loans and Related Borrower Mortgage Loans,” no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another Mortgagor. An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (39) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.

(40)Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of Recognized Environmental Conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material

2-16 

noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated, abated or contained in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action, completion or closure letter or its equivalent, was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action or investigation is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P, Fitch and/or A.M. Best Company; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for the Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, the Mortgage File or the Prospectus, there is no Environmental Condition at the related Mortgaged Property.

(41)Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Closing Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and that (i) was engaged directly by the originator of the Mortgage Loan or Seller, or a correspondent or agent of the originator of the Mortgage Loan or Seller, and (ii) to Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

(42)Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be contained therein.

(43)Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is outside the Trust, except (i) with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, any mortgage loan that is part of a Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Mortgage Loan or with a Whole Loan of which such Mortgage Loan is a part, (ii) any Companion Loan secured by the same Mortgage as the related Mortgage Loan, or (iii) as set forth on Schedule 2-B of this Exhibit 2.

2-17 

(44)Advance of Funds by Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, and, to Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan (other than as contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or Mortgage Loan documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.

(45)Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan.

For purposes of these representations and warranties, the phrases “Seller’s knowledge” or “Seller’s belief” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth herein, the actual state of knowledge or belief of Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth herein.

Purchaser will convey the Mortgage Loans to a trust (the “Issuing Entity”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), to be dated as of May 1, 2017, between Purchaser, as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), as certificate registrar (in such capacity, the “Certificate Registrar”), and as authenticating agent (in such capacity, the “Authenticating Agent”). In exchange for the Mortgage Loans and certain other mortgage loans to be purchased by Purchaser (collectively the “Other Mortgage Loans”), the Issuing Entity will issue to the Depositor pass-through certificates to be known as Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2017-C33, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C33 (the “Certificates”) and the VRR Interest. The Certificates and the VRR Interest will be issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates (the “Public Certificates”) will be sold by Purchaser to Morgan Stanley & Co.

The Purchaser intends to transfer the VRR Interest at the direction of Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC to Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., Bank of America, National Association and the Seller pursuant to the VRR Interest Transfer Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2017 (the “VRR Interest Transfer Agreement”), by and among the Depositor, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., Bank of America, National Association and the Seller. The Underwriters will offer the Public Certificates for sale publicly pursuant to a Preliminary Prospectus dated April 26, 2017 (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) and a Prospectus dated May 5, 2017 (the “Prospectus”), and the Initial Purchasers will offer the Private Certificates for sale in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933

pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum dated May 5, 2017 (the “Final Memorandum”) and a preliminary version thereof dated April 26, 2017 (the “Preliminary Memorandum”).

In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

1.            AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE.

1.1       Seller agrees to sell, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, on a servicing released basis, the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) annexed hereto as Exhibit 1, as such schedule may be amended to reflect the actual Mortgage Loans accepted by Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof . The Cut-off Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan is the respective due date for such Mortgage Loan in May 2017 (or, in the case of any Mortgage Loan that has its first (1^st) due date after May 2017, the date that would have been its due date in May 2017 under the terms of such Mortgage Loan if a monthly debt service payment were scheduled to be due in that month). The Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance as of the close of business on the Cut-off Date, after giving effect to any payments during or prior to May 2017, whether or not received, of $203,779,191. The sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on May 11, 2017 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). The purchase price to be paid by Purchaser for the Mortgage Loans shall equal a combination of (i) the portion of the VRR Interest transferred to the Seller pursuant to the VRR Interest Transfer Agreement and (ii) the cash amount to be set forth as such purchase price in the Bill of Sale (substantially in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto), to be entered into between the parties to this Agreement in connection with this Agreement and the issuance of the Certificates (the “Bill of Sale”). The cash portion of the purchase price shall be paid to Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the Closing Date.

1.2       On the Closing Date, Purchaser will assign to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and its rights under this Agreement (to the extent set forth in Section 14 hereof), and the Trustee shall succeed to such right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement (to the extent set forth in Section 14 hereof).

2.            CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS.

2.1       Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the consideration referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, Seller does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Purchaser, without recourse, except as specifically provided herein, all the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as of the Closing Date, with the understanding that a servicing rights purchase and sale agreement or comparable agreement may be executed by Seller and the Master Servicer. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by

 2

Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any other documents contemplated to be delivered by Seller under Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, that with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, Seller’s assignment of the related Intercreditor Agreement is limited to an assignment of its rights thereunder as holder of the related Mortgage Loan. Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to Seller). The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time on or prior to the Closing Date, shall conform to the requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

2.2           In connection with Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.1 above, Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (viii), (x) and (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (provided, that if any such document (other than a document specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) is not available on the Closing Date, it shall be delivered to the Custodian in accordance with clause (y) below) and (y) on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be provided under Sections 2.01(b) or (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any item), except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date (which delivery shall be subject to Section 2.2.1 below), the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and any other items contemplated to be delivered or deposited by Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than amounts from reserve accounts (which shall be delivered in accordance with Section 2.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and originals of letters of credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan, and shall take such other actions and pay such costs with respect to the Mortgage Loans as may be contemplated to be taken or paid by Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) and 3.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

In addition, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to the Custodian five (5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4 in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to sign and/or submit, or to cause the Custodian to sign and/or submit for recording, at the expense of Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be recorded as described in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)). Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in

 3

the second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of notice of such absence to Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall submit such documents for recording, at Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not submit such assignments for recording if Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.

2.2.1       Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, (A) if the Custodian is not also the related Non-Serviced Custodian, (1) the preceding document delivery requirements shall be met by the delivery by Seller of copies of the documents specified above (other than the Mortgage Notes (and all intervening endorsements) respectively evidencing such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, with respect to which the originals shall be required), including a copy of the Mortgage securing the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and (2) the requirement to deliver any of the preceding documents in the name of the Trustee shall be met by the delivery of such documents in the name of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Trustee for the benefit of, among others, the Trustee, as holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, or (B) if (and only for so long as) the Custodian is also the related Non-Serviced Custodian, the preceding document delivery requirements shall be met by (1) delivery by Seller to the Custodian of originals of the documents described in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and (2) custody of the documents specified in clauses (ii) through (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” by the related Non-Serviced Custodian pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA; provided, that if any document specified in clauses (ii) – (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” was not or was not required to be delivered to the related Non-Serviced Custodian in connection with the securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, Seller shall deliver such document to the Custodian; provided, further, that the Custodian has made, and complies with, the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the second proviso to clause (B) of the third to last paragraph of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

2.3           [Reserved].

2.4           In addition, with respect to the Mortgaged Property identified as “Home2Suites Nashville Airport” on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which is subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners or otherwise have a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners, Seller or its designee shall provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor (with a copy of such notice or request to the Master Servicer) within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter).

2.5           In connection with Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.1 above, Seller, at its expense, shall deliver or make available to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered or made available to and deposited with, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the following items: (i) within the timeframes for delivery set forth in Section 2.2 above, a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of instruments of assignment will be delivered by the Custodian when the originals are returned or delivered, as applicable, to it in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); (ii) within the timeframe for delivery set forth in Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the Servicing File with respect to each Mortgage Loan (provided that Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses of Seller or its Affiliates, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda, credit underwriting or other analyses or data and other internal approval documents); and (iii) within the timeframes for delivery set forth in Section 2.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, all unapplied reserve funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Whole Loans). In accordance with Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller shall, except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, at its sole cost and expense, cause each Assignment of Mortgage, each assignment of Assignment of Leases and each assignment of each UCC Financing Statement (collectively, the “Assignments” and each, individually, an “Assignment”) relating to the Mortgage Loans to be prepared in proper form for filing or recording, as applicable, and promptly (and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date and Seller’s actual receipt of the related documents and the necessary recording and filing information) submit such Assignments for filing or recording, as the case may be, in the applicable public filing or recording office. On the Closing Date, Seller may deliver one omnibus assignment for all Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit H to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the Custodian. Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect that it (or a certified copy thereof) should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following recording or filing (or to Seller or its agent who will then be responsible for delivery of the same to the Custodian or its designee). Any such Assignment received by Seller or its agent shall be required to be delivered to the Custodian to be included as part of the related Mortgage File within thirty (30) days after receipt. If any such document or instrument is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the recording or filing requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is to be recorded or filed, or is lost by the public office or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, on or about one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Seller or its designee shall prepare, at its own expense, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter Seller or its designee shall, at the expense of Seller, upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate. If, on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian advises Seller that the Custodian has not received confirmation of the recording or filing, as the case may be, of any such Assignment, Seller may then pursue such confirmation itself or request that the Custodian pursue such confirmation at Seller’s expense, and upon such a request and provision for payment of such expenses satisfactory to the Custodian, the Custodian, at the expense of Seller, shall cause a search of the land records of each applicable jurisdiction and of the records of the offices of the applicable Secretary of State for confirmation that the Assignment appears in such records and retain a copy of such confirmation in the related

 5

Mortgage File. In the event that confirmation of the recording or filing of an Assignment cannot be obtained, the Custodian or Seller, as applicable, shall promptly inform the other and the Custodian shall provide Seller with a copy of the Assignment and request the preparation of a new Assignment. Seller shall cause (and pay the expenses for) the preparation of, and execute, replacement Assignments for any Assignments which, having been properly submitted for filing or recording to the appropriate governmental office by the Custodian, fail to appear of record and must be resubmitted.

To avoid the unnecessary expense and administrative inconvenience associated with the execution and recording or filing of multiple Assignments, Seller shall execute the Assignments relating to the Mortgage Loans naming the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners as assignee. Notwithstanding the fact that such Assignments shall name the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners as the assignee, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Mortgage Loans shall for all purposes be deemed to have been transferred from Seller to Purchaser and from Purchaser to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owners.

2.6        Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File shall be vested in Purchaser and its assigns, and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the possession of Seller shall immediately vest in Purchaser and its assigns, and shall be delivered promptly by Seller to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) or the Master Servicer as set forth herein, subject to the requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Seller’s and Purchaser’s records shall reflect the transfer of each Mortgage Loan from Seller to Purchaser and its assigns as a sale.

2.7         It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and related property to Purchaser by Seller as provided in this Section 2 be, and be construed as, an absolute sale of the Mortgage Loans and related property. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and related property by Seller to Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of Seller. However, if, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans or any related property are held to be the property of Seller, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans or any related property, then:

2.7.1       this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement; and

2.7.2       the conveyance provided for in this Section 2 shall be deemed to be a grant by Seller to Purchaser of, and Seller hereby grants to Purchaser, a security interest in all of Seller’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in, to and under:

A.       All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit and investment property consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the following property: the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, security agreements, and title, hazard

 6

and other insurance policies, all distributions with respect thereto payable after the Cut-off Date, all substitute or replacement Mortgage Loans and all distributions with respect thereto, and the Mortgage Files;

B.       All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, investment property and other rights arising from or by virtue of the disposition of, or collections with respect to, or insurance proceeds payable with respect to, or claims against other Persons with respect to, all or any part of the collateral described in clause (A) above (including any accrued discount realized on liquidation of any investment purchased at a discount); and

C.       All cash and non-cash proceeds of the collateral described in clauses (A) and (B) above.

2.8           The possession by Purchaser or its designee (including, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Trustee for the benefit of, among others, the Trustee, as holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) of the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, and such other goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, instruments, money, documents, chattel paper or certificated securities shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party or possession by a purchaser for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC (including, without limitation, Section 9-313 thereof) as in force in the relevant jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the perfection of any such security interest.

2.9           Notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts, or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or Persons holding for, Purchaser or its designee, as applicable, for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

2.10         Seller hereby agrees to provide Purchaser with prompt notice of any information it receives which indicates that the transfer of each Mortgage Loan from Seller to Purchaser may not be treated as a sale. Seller shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. In such case, Seller hereby authorizes the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian to file all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the UCC as in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect such security interest in such property. In connection herewith, Purchaser shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the UCC as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.

2.11         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and subject to Section 2.1 hereof, Purchaser shall not be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which any Mortgage Note required to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) or the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 2 on or before the Closing Date is not so delivered, or is

 7

not properly executed or is defective on its face, and Purchaser’s acceptance of the related Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date shall in no way constitute a waiver of such omission or defect or of Purchaser’s or its successors’ and assigns’ rights in respect thereof pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

3.            EXAMINATION OF MORTGAGE FILES AND DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW.

3.1           Seller shall (i) deliver to Purchaser on or before the Closing Date a diskette acceptable to Purchaser that contains such information about the Mortgage Loans as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, (ii) deliver to Purchaser on or before the Closing Date investor files (collectively the “Collateral Information”) with respect to the Mortgage Loans proposed to be included in the Issuing Entity and made available at Purchaser’s headquarters in New York, and (iii) otherwise cooperate fully with Purchaser in its examination of the credit files, underwriting documentation and Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans and its due diligence review of the Mortgage Loans. The fact that Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the credit files, underwriting documentation or Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans shall not affect the right of Purchaser or the Trustee to cause Seller to cure any Material Defect, or to repurchase or replace the defective Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

3.2           On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall allow representatives of Purchaser and any designees thereof to examine and audit all books, records and files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans, Seller’s underwriting procedures and Seller’s ability to perform or observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement. Such examinations and audits shall take place upon reasonable prior advance notice at one or more offices of Seller during normal business hours and shall not be conducted in a manner that is disruptive to Seller’s normal business operations. In the course of such examinations and audits, Seller will make available to such representatives of Purchaser and any designees thereof reasonably adequate facilities, as well as the assistance of a sufficient number of knowledgeable and responsible individuals who are familiar with the Mortgage Loans and the terms of this Agreement, and Seller shall cooperate fully with any such examination and audit in all material respects. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with all material information regarding Seller’s financial condition and access to knowledgeable financial or accounting officers for the purpose of answering questions with respect to Seller’s financial condition, financial statements as provided to Purchaser or other developments affecting Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise affecting Seller in any material respect. Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall provide the Master Servicer with any additional information identified by the Master Servicer as necessary to complete the CREFC^® Property File, to the extent that such information is available to Seller.

3.3           Purchaser may exercise any of its rights hereunder through one or more designees or agents, provided Purchaser has provided Seller with prior notice of the identity of such designee or agent.

3.4           Purchaser shall keep confidential any information regarding Seller and, to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loans that has been delivered into Purchaser’s possession and that is not otherwise publicly

 8

available; provided, that such information shall not be kept confidential (and the right to require confidentiality under any confidentiality agreement is hereby waived) to the extent Purchaser deems such information necessary and appropriate or required to be included in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or any other disclosure document relating to the Certificates or the VRR Interest or Purchaser is required by law or court order to disclose such information. If Purchaser is required or otherwise deems it necessary and appropriate to disclose in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, the Prospectus or any other disclosure document relating to the Certificates and the VRR Interest confidential information regarding Seller as described in the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall provide to Seller a copy of the proposed form of such disclosure prior to making such disclosure and Seller shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, notify Purchaser of any inaccuracies therein, in which case Purchaser shall modify such form in a manner that corrects such inaccuracies. If Purchaser is required by law or court order to disclose confidential information regarding Seller as described in the second preceding sentence, Purchaser shall notify Seller and cooperate in Seller’s efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information and, if in the absence of a protective order or such assurance, Purchaser is compelled as a matter of law to disclose such information, Purchaser shall, prior to making such disclosure, advise and consult with Seller and its counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of such disclosure and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if reasonably advised by counsel that Purchaser is required by a regulatory agency or court order to make such disclosure immediately, then Purchaser shall be permitted to make such disclosure without prior review by Seller and shall give Seller prompt notice of such disclosure.

4.            REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER AND PURCHASER.

4.1         To induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Seller hereby makes for the benefit of Purchaser and its assigns with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof (or as of such other date specifically set forth in the particular representation and warranty) each of the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto, except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 2-A attached to such Exhibit 2. In addition, Seller hereby further represents, warrants and covenants to Purchaser as of the date hereof as follows:

4.1.1        Seller is duly organized and validly exists as a national banking association in good standing under the laws of the United States. Seller has the requisite power and authority and legal right to own the Mortgage Loans and to transfer and convey the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser and has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver, engage in the transactions contemplated by, and perform and observe the terms and conditions of, this Agreement.

4.1.2        This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes the valid, legal and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (A) laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or moratorium, (B) other laws relating to or

 9

affecting the rights of creditors generally, (C) general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) or (D) public policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to the extent that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement that purport to provide indemnification from liabilities under applicable securities laws.

4.1.3        No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is required, under federal or state law, for the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by Seller with this Agreement, or the consummation by Seller of any transaction contemplated hereby, other than (A) such qualifications as may be required under state securities or blue sky laws, (B) the filing or recording of financing statements, instruments of assignment and other similar documents necessary in connection with Seller’s sale of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser, (C) such consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications, registrations, filings or notices as have been obtained and (D) where the lack of such consent, approval, authorization, qualification, registration, filing or notice would not have a material adverse effect on the performance by Seller under this Agreement.

4.1.4        Neither the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser, nor the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Seller, conflicts or will conflict with, results or will result in a breach of, or constitutes or will constitute a default under (A) any term or provision of Seller’s articles of organization or by-laws, (B) any term or provision of any material agreement, contract, instrument or indenture to which Seller is a party or by which it or any of its assets is bound or results in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of its property pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument, other than pursuant to this Agreement, or (C) after giving effect to the consents or taking of the actions contemplated in Section 4.1.3 hereof, any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over Seller or its assets, except where in any of the instances contemplated by clauses (B) or (C) above, any conflict, breach or default, or creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance, will not have a material adverse effect on the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Seller or its ability to perform its obligations and duties hereunder or result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of Seller, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of Seller to carry on its business substantially as now conducted.

4.1.5        There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, Seller pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened in writing against Seller before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, the outcome of which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser or the execution or delivery by, or enforceability against, Seller of this Agreement or have an effect on the financial condition of Seller that would materially and adversely affect the ability of Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

4.1.6        On the Closing Date, the sale of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement will effect a transfer by Seller of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser.

 10

4.1.7        To Seller’s knowledge, the information in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum as to which Seller is providing indemnification pursuant to that certain indemnification agreement, dated the date hereof, between Seller, Purchaser, the Underwriters, and the Initial Purchasers (the “Indemnification Agreement”, and such information the “Seller’s Information”) does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Seller has complied with the disclosure requirements of Regulation AB that arise from its role as “originator” and/or “sponsor” (and, if Seller was not the originator with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the role of the related originator as “originator”) in connection with the issuance of the Public Certificates. The review described under “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—KeyBank National Association—Review of KeyBank Mortgage Loans” in the Prospectus was designed and effected to provide reasonable assurance that the disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans in the Prospectus is accurate in all material respects. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Section 4.1.7 shall run exclusively to the benefit of Purchaser and no other party.

4.1.8        Seller hereby agrees to deliver to Purchaser (or with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into an Other Securitization, the depositor in such Other Securitization) and to the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure and any Form 8-K Disclosure Information set forth next to Seller’s name on Exhibit BB, Exhibit CC or Exhibit DD of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (in formatting reasonably appropriate for inclusion in such form) (collectively, “Seller Reporting Information”); provided, that Seller Reporting Information shall not be exclusive of any additional disclosure items specifically related to Seller or any related Mortgage Loan originator that may be added to Form 10-K, Form 10-D or Form 8-K subsequent to the date hereof that are required to be included in the Exchange Act reports related to the Issuing Entity if the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator provides Seller with notice of such additional requirements. Seller shall use its best efforts to deliver proposed disclosure language relating to any such event described under Items 1100(e), 1117, 1119 and/or 1124 (to the extent such Items are applicable to the Prospectus under Regulation AB, subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been (or may be) provided by the Commission or its staff from time to time) of Regulation AB and Item 1.03 to Form 8-K to the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, and Purchaser within one (1) Business Day and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days of Seller becoming aware of such event and shall provide disclosure relating to any other Seller Reporting Information required to be disclosed by Seller pursuant to this Section 4.1.8 on Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K within two (2) Business Days following Purchaser’s request for such disclosure language. In connection with providing such disclosure language and Seller’s reporting obligations under Item 1119 of Regulation AB, upon reasonable request by Seller, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a list of all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any Servicing Function Participant with respect to which it has received notice pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The obligation of Seller to provide the above-referenced disclosure materials shall be suspended (for so long as neither the Issuing Entity nor, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan related to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan sold to the Issuing Entity by Seller, the trust in the related Other Securitization, is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), as to any fiscal year, upon the

 11

Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, filing the form necessary to be filed with the Commission to suspend the Issuing Entity’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as to that fiscal year in accordance with Section 11.08 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the reporting requirements with respect to the Issuing Entity under the Exchange Act have otherwise been automatically suspended; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the suspension of such information reporting does not apply to Seller Reporting Information that is required to be provided for the fiscal year prior to suspension of the Issuing Entity’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act (including Additional Form 10-K Disclosure required to be disclosed on the Form 10-K related to the fiscal year preceding the year in which the form necessary to be filed with the Commission to suspend the Issuing Entity’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act was filed). Purchaser shall provide Seller with notice (which notice may be sent via facsimile or by email) if the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, does file the form necessary to be filed with the Commission to suspend the Issuing Entity’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act pursuant to Section 11.08 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Seller hereby acknowledges that the information to be provided by it pursuant to this Section will be used in the preparation of reports meeting the reporting requirements of the Issuing Entity under Section 13(a) and/or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

With respect to each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, Seller (i) represents and warrants that it has caused each such Servicing Function Participant to be required to comply, as evidenced by written documentation between each such Servicing Function Participant and Seller or Master Servicer, with all reporting requirements set forth in Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including but not limited to the indemnification of each Certification Party from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of the delivery of any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable) applicable to such Servicing Function Participant for the Mortgage Loans, and (ii) covenants with Purchaser that, for so long as the Issuing Entity is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it shall cause each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date to be required to comply with all reporting requirements set forth therein.

4.1.9        Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered an electronic copy of the Diligence File for each Mortgage Loan to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence File to the IntraLinks Site, and each such Diligence File shall be organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and Seller.

4.1.10      Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall provide the Depositor (with a copy via e-mail to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor at the e-mail addresses set forth for such parties in Section 13.05 of the Pooling and Service Agreement) a certificate addressed to the Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of Seller certifying that the electronic copies of the documents uploaded to the IntraLinks Site constitute all documents required under the definition of “Diligence File” and such Diligence Files are organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and Seller.

 12

4.1.11      Seller shall deliver any additional documents requested of it by the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 12.01(b)(ii) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, but only to the extent such documents are in its possession (and, if such documents are not in its possession, solely with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, Seller shall make a request under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA for any such documents that are not in its possession). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no information that is proprietary to Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications or credit underwriting analysis shall constitute part of the Diligence File.

4.1.12      Upon the completion of an Asset Review with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger and the Mortgage Loans that are subject to such Asset Review and receipt of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, Seller shall no later than ten (10) Business Days after such request pay a fee equal to the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee.

4.1.13      Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event an Enforcing Party elects a dispute resolution method pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller shall abide by the selected dispute resolution method and otherwise comply with the terms and provisions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the exhibits thereto) related to the dispute resolution method.

4.1.14      Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to perform procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (such report, the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum. The Underwriters and Initial Purchasers are intended third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.1.14.

4.1.15      Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of or based upon (i) (x) any failure of Seller to pay the fees described under Section 4.1.12 above as a result of Seller being insolvent or (y) any other failure of Seller to pay the fees described under Section 4.1.12 above which such failure described in this clause (y) is not cured within ninety (90) days of the original written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) any failure by Seller to provide all documents required to be delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement and/or under the definition of “Diligence File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date (or such later date specified herein or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). In addition, in connection with any vote of ABS Interest Holders held after an Asset Review Vote Election pursuant to Section 12.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,

 13

Seller shall, upon request by the Certificate Administrator, reimburse the Certificate Administrator for its pro rata portion of the Certificate Administrator’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs of administering such vote (based on the outstanding principal balance of its Delinquent Loans relative to the aggregate outstanding principal of all Delinquent Loans that resulted in the relevant Asset Review Trigger).

4.1.16       In connection with any Repurchase Request referred to mediation pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller agrees to pay the portion of the expenses of such mediation allocated to it as mutually agreed by the parties to such mediation and in accordance with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, in connection with any Repurchase Request referred to arbitration pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller agrees to pay the portion of the costs of such arbitration allocated to it by the related arbitrator in such arbitrator’s reasonable discretion and in accordance with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

4.1.17       Seller hereby agrees that it shall be deemed to make to and for the benefit of Purchaser, as of the date of any substitution, with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Mortgage Loan, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit 2 to this Agreement. For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit 2, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution. From and after the date of substitution, any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes. A “Defective Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Defect.

To induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Seller hereby covenants that the foregoing representations and warranties and those set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto, subject to the exceptions set forth in Schedule 2-A to Exhibit 2, will be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date.

Each of the representations, warranties and covenants made by Seller pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes.

4.1.18       Seller hereby further agrees that with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into an Other Securitization, it shall, to the extent required under Section 11.15 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (i) pay or cause to be paid the out-of-pocket cost (including any reasonable attorney fees) of providing the information, opinion(s) of counsel, certifications and indemnification agreement(s) to the related Other Depositor by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 11.15 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) take all actions reasonably requested of it by the related Other Depositor to enable such Other Securitization to comply with Regulation AB.

4.2         To induce Seller to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller as of the date hereof:

 14

4.2.1         Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted by it.

4.2.2         Purchaser has full power and authority to acquire the Mortgage Loans, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser has duly and validly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly and validly executed and delivered this Agreement. This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Seller, constitutes the valid, legal and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

4.2.3         No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is required, under federal or state law, for the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by Purchaser with this Agreement, or the consummation by Purchaser of any transaction contemplated hereby that has not been obtained or made by Purchaser.

4.2.4         Neither the purchase of the Mortgage Loans nor the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Purchaser will violate Purchaser’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws or constitute a default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in a breach of, any material agreement, contract, instrument or indenture to which Purchaser is a party or that may be applicable to Purchaser or its assets.

4.2.5         Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of any law, rule, writ, injunction, order or decree of any court, or order or regulation of any federal, state or municipal government agency having jurisdiction over Purchaser or its assets, which violation could materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or the operation of Purchaser or its assets or could materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations and duties hereunder.

4.2.6         There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, Purchaser pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against Purchaser before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, the outcome of which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans, the issuance of the Certificates and the VRR Interest, the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or have an effect on the financial condition of Purchaser that would materially and adversely affect the ability of Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

4.2.7         Purchaser has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person, other than Seller, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates, that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 15

4.2.8         Purchaser (A) prepared one or more reports on Form ABS-15G containing the findings and conclusions of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report and meeting the requirements of Form ABS-15G and Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act; (B) provided a copy of the final draft of each Form ABS-15G to the Underwriters and Initial Purchasers at least six (6) Business Days before the date hereof; and (C) furnished each Form ABS-15G to the Commission on EDGAR at least five (5) Business Days before the first sale of Certificates and the VRR Interest in the offering contemplated by the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum as required by Rule 15Ga-2.

To induce Seller to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby covenants that the foregoing representations and warranties will be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date.

Each of the representations and warranties made by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans.

5.            REMEDIES UPON BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY SELLER.

(a)             Seller shall (i) in the case of a Material Defect other than a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage (a “Qualified Mortgage Material Defect”), not later than ninety (90) days after Seller’s receipt of notice of or, if earlier, Seller’s discovery of such Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect, not later than eighty-five (85) days after the earlier of (x) the discovery by Seller or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of a Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (such ninety (90) or eighty-five (85) day period, as applicable, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Issuing Entity reasonably incurred by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan (provided that (x) such affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan was not itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and (y) in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date and, except with respect to a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the

 16

“Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period Seller has delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations, the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of Seller to have received the recorded document, then Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator no less frequently than every thirty (30) days thereafter that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, funds in the amount of the Purchase Price, together with the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to Section 4.1.12 above attributable to the Asset Review with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall be remitted by Seller by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.

If Seller, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan agrees to a Loss of Value Payment, pursuant to any agreement or a settlement between Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuing Entity (and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Special Servicer for deposit into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. 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 and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to Section 4.1.12 above attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owners and the Issuing Entity regarding the related Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of Seller to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuing Entity, provided, that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude Seller or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in this Agreement (excluding this paragraph) or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

 17

Seller’s obligation to cure any Material Defect or to repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan or, if Seller agrees to make a Loss of Value Payment, to pay the Loss of Value Payment pursuant to this Section 5 shall constitute the sole remedy available to Purchaser in connection with a Material Defect; provided, that this limitation shall not in any way limit Purchaser’s rights or remedies upon breach of any other representation or warranty or covenant by Seller set forth in this Agreement (other than those set forth in Exhibit 2).

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then Seller may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Issuing Entity (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Issuing Entity that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 4.1.12 above to the extent not previously paid to the Asset Representations Reviewer by Seller attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. Upon such remittance, Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to Seller.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall not be a Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Issuing Entity and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(b)           Whenever a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a Defective Loan by Seller as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with

 18

respect to the corresponding replaced Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution (but after the related Cut-off Date), shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan on or prior to the Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to Seller promptly following receipt.

If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon any substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

If any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Crossed Mortgage Loan Group is required to be repurchased or substituted, the provisions of Section 2.03(h), Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.03(j) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall apply.

(c)           Seller shall be entitled, and Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to entitle Seller upon (A) deposit of the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5 in the account designated therefor by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee as the assignee of Purchaser (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee), (B) if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to this Section 5 to be delivered by Seller, and (C) delivery by Seller to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of a receipt executed by Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, to (i) a release of the Mortgage File and any other items previously required to be delivered by Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan to Seller or its designee, (ii) the execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by Seller and are reasonably necessary to vest in Seller or its designee the legal and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan (including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents, any portion of the related Servicing File and together with any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and any other items previously required to be delivered by Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, held by or on behalf of the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of Seller, and (iii) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Mortgagor of such transfer of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan.

(d)           [Reserved].

 19

(e)           Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser shall have no liability to Seller for any failure of Seller or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than Purchaser itself) to perform its obligations provided for thereunder.

(f)            If Seller (i) receives from any Person (other than the Depositor) any request or demand for repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan because of a breach of a representation or warranty or a document defect (any such request or demand for repurchase or replacement, a “Repurchase Request”); (ii) rejects any Repurchase Request or is in dispute with the Person making any Repurchase Request as to the merits of such Repurchase Request (a “Dispute”); or (iii) receives any withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request, then Seller shall deliver notice of such Repurchase Request, rejection, Dispute or withdrawal (each, a “Seller 15Ga-1 Notice”) to the Depositor within ten (10) Business Days of Seller’s receipt thereof (or in the case of a rejection or Dispute, the occurrence thereof).

Each Seller 15Ga-1 Notice may be delivered by electronic means and shall identify (a) the date on which such Repurchase Request was received, rejected, first disputed or withdrawn, (b) the Mortgage Loan with respect to which such Repurchase Request was made, (c) the identity of the Person making such request, and (d) the basis, if any, asserted for such request or withdrawal by such Person (or, with respect to any notice of rejection or Dispute by Seller, the reason for such rejection or the nature of such Dispute).

Seller represents and warrants that any information Seller provides to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5(f) shall be true, complete and correct as of the date Seller provides such information to Purchaser.

(g)           Each of Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (i) a Repurchase Request Recipient under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will not, in connection with providing Seller or Purchaser with any 15Ga-1 Notice under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication or any information protected by the attorney work product doctrine, (ii) any 15Ga-1 Notice delivered to Seller or Purchaser under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided only to assist Seller, Purchaser and any of their respective Affiliates in complying with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and/or any other law or regulation, (iii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Repurchase Request Recipient and (B) no information provided to Seller or Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by a Repurchase Request Recipient, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request Recipient may have with respect to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (iv) receipt of a 15Ga-1 Notice or delivery of any notice required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5(f) shall not in and of itself constitute delivery, or receipt, of notice of any Material Defect or knowledge on the part of Seller of any Material Defect or admission by Seller of the existence of any Material Defect.

Seller shall provide to Purchaser relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that Seller is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act (only to the extent that such portions relate to any Repurchase Request with respect to any Mortgage Loan) on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Commission. Promptly upon request, Purchaser shall provide or cause

 20

to be provided to Seller such information regarding the principal balance of any Mortgage Loan as is necessary in order for Seller to prepare any such Form ABS-15G.

(h)           The fact that a Material Defect is not discovered until after completion of foreclosure (but in all instances prior to the sale of the related REO Property) shall not prejudice any claim against Seller for repurchase of the REO Property (or the Issuing Entity’s interest therein). After a final liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, if a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final order after the expiration of any applicable appeal period that Seller is or was obligated to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property (or the Issuing Entity’s interest therein) (a “Final Judicial Determination”) or Seller otherwise accepts liability, then, but in no event later than the termination of the Issuing Entity pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller shall pay to the Issuing Entity the difference between any Liquidation Proceeds received upon such liquidation in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including those arising from any sale to Seller) and the Purchase Price.

(i)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph 30 or paragraph 32 in Exhibit 2 hereto, and as a result the payments by a Mortgagor of reasonable costs and expenses associated with securing the consent or approval of the holder of the Mortgage for a waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause or the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan are insufficient such that the Issuing Entity incurs an additional trust fund expense in an amount equal to such reasonable costs and expenses not paid by such Mortgagor, Seller hereby covenants and agrees to reimburse the Issuing Entity within ninety (90) days of the receipt of notice of such breach in an amount sufficient to avoid such additional trust fund expense (and, if applicable, to pay the amount of any fees and expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer related to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan not previously paid by Seller).

(j)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that with respect to each Mortgage Loan subject to defeasance, Seller has retained the right of the lender under the Mortgage Loan documents to receive a percentage of the economic benefit associated with the ownership of the successor borrower, to designate and establish the successor borrower and to purchase (or cause the purchase on behalf of the related borrower of) the related defeasance collateral, in each case if there is a defeasance of such Mortgage Loan (“Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide that: (i) if the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan subject to defeasance, then the Master Servicer shall provide upon receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to Seller or its assignee; and (ii) until such time as Seller provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to Seller pursuant to the notice provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

EXHIBIT 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING
INDIVIDUAL MORTGAGE LOANS

(1)           Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan which is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Mortgage Loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Purchaser, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller, or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the trustee for the related Non-Serviced Securitization Trust), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to Purchaser constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

(2)           Mortgage Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

(3)           Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the

2-1

practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

(4)           Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty, and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related Mortgagor nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan.

(5)           Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or with respect to those Mortgage Loans described in paragraph (34) hereof, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph (6) set forth in Schedule 2-A to this Exhibit 2 (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date, to Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, to Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

(6)           Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title

2-2

Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for the related Crossed Mortgage Loan or Crossed Mortgage Loans; provided that none of such items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid, no claims have been made by Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

(7)           Junior Liens. It being understood that Subordinate Companion Loans secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Mortgage Loans, there are, as of origination, and to Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (5) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth in Schedule 2-A to this Exhibit 2, Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

(8)           Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions (and in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

2-3

(9)           UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted or caused to be submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

(10)         Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

(11)         Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, which could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Cut-off Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

(12)         Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

2-4

(13)         Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

(14)         Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to each Mortgage Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with lender under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by Seller to Purchaser or its servicer (or in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the depositor or servicer for the related Non-Serviced Securitization Trust).

(15)         No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Closing Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback).

(16)         Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (as defined below), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary, or containing such endorsements as are necessary, to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

“Insurance Ratings Requirements” means either (1) a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-“ from S&P or (2) the Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements. “Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements” means insurance provided by a syndicate of insurers, as to which (i) if such syndicate consists of 5 or more members, at least 60% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 40% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least BBB- by S&P, and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least

2-5

75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 25% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least BBB- by S&P.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization, (B) the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan or (C) the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property.

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by Seller for loans originated for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an

2-6

insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

(17)         Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

(18)         No Encroachments. To Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements

2-7

were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements obtained with respect to the Title Policy.

(19)         No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) or an equity participation by Seller.

(20)         REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan) was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-1(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

(21)         Compliance with Certain Laws. The Mortgage Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

2-8

(22)         Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.

(23)         Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee.

(24)         Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and as of the Cut-off Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) are insured by the Title Policy or a law and ordinance insurance policy or (ii) would not have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan. The terms of the Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

(25)         Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to Seller’s knowledge based upon a letter from any government authorities, zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

(26)         Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that such Mortgage Loan (a) becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with (or, alternatively, solicited or caused to be solicited) other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property

2-9

or controlling equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained by reason of Mortgagor’s (i) misappropriation of rents after the occurrence of an event of default under the Mortgage Loan; (ii) misappropriation of (A) insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or (B) security deposits or, alternatively, the failure of any security deposits to be delivered to lender upon foreclosure or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent applied in accordance with leases prior to a Mortgage Loan event of default); (iii) fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (v) commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.

(27)         Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (32) below), of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, (c) upon a Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (32) below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the Mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, in an amount not less than the amount required by the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, condemnation awards may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the

2-10

Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable.

No Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is a Crossed Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions.

(28)         Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements.

(29)         Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIPRA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, or damages related thereto except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided, that if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

(30)         Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the

2-11

Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (27) and (32) herein or the exceptions thereto set forth in Schedule 2-A to this Exhibit 2, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Schedule 2-C to this Exhibit 2, or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Schedule 2-D to this Exhibit 2 or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Serviced Companion Loan or Non-Serviced Companion Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Crossed Mortgage Loan, as set forth on Annex A-1 to the Prospectus or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

(31)         Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Both the Mortgage Loan documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance of $30 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Crossed Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

2-12

(32)         Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Mortgage Loan documents provide for Defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, the revenues from which will, in the case of a full Defeasance, be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty) or, if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial Defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (a) 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption that results in revenues from such collateral that are insufficient to pay all applicable payments described in clause (iii) above; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (vi) if the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the Mortgage Loan secured by Defeasance collateral is required to be assumed (or the Mortgagee may require such assumption) by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Mortgagee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with Defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with Defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

(33)         Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed.

(34)         Ground Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land (or, with respect to air rights leases, the air) and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner and does not include industrial development agency or similar leases for purposes of conferring a tax abatement or other benefit.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the

2-13

Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Seller, its successors and assigns, Seller represents and warrants that:

(a)           The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage;

(b)           The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease) that the Ground Lease may not be amended or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee, without the prior written consent of the lender, and no such consent has been granted by Seller since the origination of the Mortgage Loan except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

(c)           The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(d)           The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances, or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject;

(e)           The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable (including pursuant to foreclosure) to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

(f)            Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

(g)           The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, and provides that no notice of

2-14

default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender;

(h)           A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(i)            The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization;

(j)            Under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in clause (k) below) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(k)           In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

(l)            Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

(35)         Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been, in all respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.

(36)         Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of Seller (or the related originator if Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided, that such

2-15

representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit 2.

(37)         No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the date hereof, no Mortgage Loan is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments as of the Closing Date. To Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, provided, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by Seller in this Exhibit 2. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

(38)         Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

(39)         Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, and other than as disclosed in the Prospectus under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans; Multi-Property Mortgage Loans and Related Borrower Mortgage Loans,” no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another Mortgagor. An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (39) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.

(40)         Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of Recognized Environmental Conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material

2-16

noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated, abated or contained in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action, completion or closure letter or its equivalent, was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action or investigation is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P, Fitch and/or A.M. Best Company; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for the Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, the Mortgage File or the Prospectus, there is no Environmental Condition at the related Mortgaged Property.

(41)         Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Closing Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and that (i) was engaged directly by the originator of the Mortgage Loan or Seller, or a correspondent or agent of the originator of the Mortgage Loan or Seller, and (ii) to Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

(42)         Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be contained therein.

(43)         Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is outside the Trust, except (i) with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, any mortgage loan that is part of a Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Mortgage Loan or with a Whole Loan of which such Mortgage Loan is a part, (ii) any Companion Loan secured by the same Mortgage as the related Mortgage Loan, or (iii) as set forth on Schedule 2-B of this Exhibit 2.

2-17

(44)         Advance of Funds by Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, and, to Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan (other than as contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or Mortgage Loan documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.

(45)         Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan.

For purposes of these representations and warranties, the phrases “Seller’s knowledge” or “Seller’s belief” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth herein, the actual state of knowledge or belief of Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth herein.

Section 2.Servicing of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)Each Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that, subject in each case to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced from and after the Lead Securitization Date by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to advance monthly payments of principal or interest in respect of any Note other than the Lead Securitization Note if such principal or interest is not paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower but shall be obligated to advance delinquent real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other expenses related to the maintenance of the Mortgaged Property and maintenance and enforcement of the lien of the Mortgage thereon, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Note Holder acknowledges that any other Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization and agrees that it will, subject to Section 26, reasonably cooperate with such other Note Holder, at such other Note Holder’s expense, to effect such Securitization.

Each Note Holder hereby appoints the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and

The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not limit the Servicer in enforcing the rights of one Note Holder against any other Note Holder as may be required in order to service the Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided, that it is also understood and agreed that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to otherwise limit the rights of one Note Holder with respect to any other Note Holder. Each Servicer shall be required pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (i) to service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and applicable law, (ii) to provide information to each servicer under each Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement necessary to enable each such servicer to perform its servicing duties under such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and (iii) to not take any action or refrain from taking any action or follow any direction inconsistent with the foregoing.

At any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Note Holders agree to cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced by one or more servicers, each of which has been agreed upon by the Note Holders, pursuant to a servicing agreement that has servicing terms substantially similar to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and all references herein to the “Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent servicing agreement; provided, that if the servicer(s) to be appointed under such replacement servicing agreement would not otherwise meet the conditions to be a servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement that is being replaced, then a Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been obtained from each Rating Agency; provided, further, that until a replacement servicing agreement has been entered into, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as if such agreement were still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan, by the applicable Servicer in the Lead Securitization or by any Person appointed by the Lead Securitization Note Holder that is a qualified servicer meeting the requirements of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Note Holders acknowledge that at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

(b)The Master Servicer shall be the lead master servicer on the Mortgage Loan, and from time to time it (or the Trustee, to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) shall make the following advances, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement: (i) Servicing Advances on the Mortgage Loan and (ii) P&I Advances on the Lead Securitization Note. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for a Servicing Advance, first from funds on deposit in the Collection Account (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and/or the related Companion Distribution Account (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) for the Mortgage Loan that (in any

-16- 

case) represent amounts received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and then, in the case of Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances, if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account and Companion Distribution Account are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for interest on a Servicing Advance (including any Nonrecoverable Advance) at the Reimbursement Rate in the manner and from the sources provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, including from general collections of the Lead Securitization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, obtains funds from general collections of the Lead Securitization as a reimbursement for a Servicing Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or any interest on a Servicing Advance (including any Nonrecoverable Advance) at the Reimbursement Rate, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Securitization Trust into which such Non-Lead Securitization Note is deposited) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse the Lead Securitization for its pro rata share of such Nonrecoverable Advance or interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate.

In addition, any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (including, but not limited to, any Securitization Trust into which such Non-Lead Securitization Note is deposited) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Lead Securitization for such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of any fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor or CREFC^®, as applicable, is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, to the extent amounts on deposit in the related “Companion Distribution Account” are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees to indemnify (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of the following parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) each of the Depositor under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor (and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, to the extent such parties are identified as indemnified parties in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in respect of other mortgage loans) (the “Indemnified Parties”) against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to the Operating Advisor, incurred in connection with the provision of services for the Mortgage Loan) under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Items”) to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the related “Companion Distribution Account” are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its pro rata share of the insufficiency.

-17- 

Any Non-Lead Master Servicer (or Non-Lead Trustee (if not made by such Non-Lead Master Servicer)) may be required to make P&I Advances on the respective Non-Lead Securitization Note, from time to time, subject to the terms of the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee under any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall be entitled to make its own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the related Non-Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and any Non-Lead Master Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, shall each be required to notify the other of the amount of its P&I Advance within two business days of making such advance. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable (with respect to the Lead Securitization Note) or a Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note), determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be non-recoverable or an outstanding P&I Advance is or would be non-recoverable, or if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would be non-recoverable or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be non-recoverable, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee) or such Non-Lead Master Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee (as provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of the a determination of non-recoverability by a Non-Lead Master Servicer, a Non-Lead Special Servicer or a Non-Lead Trustee) shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee, or the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Trustee, as the case may be, of such other Securitization within two Business Days of making such determination. Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee, any Non-Lead Master Servicer and any Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, shall only be entitled to reimbursement for a P&I Advance that becomes non-recoverable first from the related Companion Distribution Account from amounts allocable to the Note for which such P&I Advance was made, and then, if such funds are insufficient, (i) in the case of the Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the Lead Securitization Trust, pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of a Non-Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the related Securitization Trust, as and to the extent provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(c)          Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, if its Non-Lead Securitization Note is included in a Securitization, shall cause the applicable Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to contain provisions to the effect that:

(i)          such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances (and interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and any additional trust fund expenses under the

-18- 

Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the Notes, including without limitation, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees relating to the Notes, and that if the funds received with respect to each respective Note are insufficient to cover such Servicing Advances or additional trust fund expenses, (x) the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of any such Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances (and interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and/or additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan, and (y) if the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement permits the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor to reimburse itself from the Lead Securitization Trust’s general collections, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, may do so and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Lead Securitization Trust out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of any such Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances (and interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and/or additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan;

(ii)          each of the Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of such Indemnified Parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) by the Securitization Trust holding such Non-Lead Securitization Note, against any of the Indemnified Items to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the related “Companion Distribution Account” are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;

(iii)          the related Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Certificate Administrator or Non-Lead Trustee will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer (x) promptly following Securitization of such Non-Lead Securitization Note, notice of the deposit of such Non-Lead Securitization Note into a Securitization Trust (which notice shall also provide contact information for the related Non-Lead Trustee, certificate administrator, Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling

-19- 

Note Holder” under this Agreement), accompanied by a certified copy of the executed Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (y) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note under this Agreement (together with the relevant contact information); and

(iv)          the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and the Lead Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions.

(d)          If a Non-Lead Securitization Note becomes the subject of an Asset Review pursuant to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer or any other party to such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with such Asset Review by providing the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably requested by the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party, but only to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be.

(e)          Prior to the Securitization of any Note (including any New Note), all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to a Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) only need to be delivered to the related Note Holder (or its Note Holder Representative) and, when so delivered to such Note Holder (or Note Holder Representative, as applicable), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Following the Securitization of any Note (including any New Note), as applicable, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to a Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be delivered to the master servicer and the special servicer with respect to such Securitization (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to such master servicer and the special servicer, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(f)          In addition to the foregoing, each Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain terms and conditions that are customary for securitization transactions involving assets similar to the Mortgage Loan and that are otherwise (i) required by the Code relating to the tax elections of the trust fund formed pursuant to such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (ii) required by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation or (iii) requested by the Rating Agencies rating the related Securitization. Each Non-Controlling

Without limiting the generality of any provision set forth above, for purposes of the Mortgage Loan, each Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain provisions (x) requiring the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Special Servicer to maintain, or subjecting them to possible termination for not maintaining, compliance with customary servicer rating criteria (but the rating agencies need not be the same) and (y) providing for indemnification of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, certificate administrator, Trustee and Operating Advisor under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, to the extent such parties are identified as indemnified parties in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in respect of other mortgage loans) against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to the Operating Advisor, incurred in connection with the provision of services for the Mortgage Loan) to the same extent that the Indemnified Parties are indemnified under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement against the Indemnified Items; provided, that (A) this statement shall not be construed to prohibit differences in timing, control or consultation triggers or thresholds, terminology, allocation of ministerial duties between multiple servicers or other service providers or certificateholder or investor voting or consent thresholds, or to prohibit or restrict additional approval, consent, consultation, notice or rating agency confirmation requirements; and (B) if there is any conflict between this sentence and any other provision of this Agreement, such other provision of this Agreement shall control.

-21- 

the extent set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Mortgage Loan Documents; and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable to any Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and any other additional compensation payable to it thereunder (including without limitation, any additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan (but subject to the second paragraph of Section 5(d) hereof) reimbursable to, or payable by, such parties and any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Workout Fees, Penalty Charges (to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph), but excluding (i) any P&I Advances (and interest thereon) on the Lead Securitization Note, which shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, and (ii) any Servicing Fees due to the Master Servicer in excess of each Non-Lead Securitization Note’s pro rata share of that portion of such servicing fees calculated at the “primary servicing fee rate” applicable to the Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, which such excess shall not be subject to the allocation provisions of this Section 3) shall be payable in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

For clarification purposes, Penalty Charges (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) paid on each Note shall first, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Servicing Advances and reimbursement of any Servicing Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, second, be used to reduce the respective amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, any Non-Lead Master Servicer or any Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, for any interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to such Note by such party (if and as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or applicable Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable), third, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (other than Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and finally, with respect to any remaining amount of Penalty Charges, pro rata, to the Lead Securitization Note (to be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and to each Non-Lead Securitization Note (to be paid, (x) prior to the securitization of such Note, to the related Note Holder and (y) following the securitization of such Note, to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement).

Section 4.     Workout.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the

-22- 

Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of each Note as described in Section 3.

Section 5.     Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)          Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on its behalf) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any right to, and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has to, (i) call, or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call, an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing, or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file, any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on its behalf) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so).

Each Note Holder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder), upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing. Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan shall be determined by the Special Servicer (unless the offeror is an Interested Person, in which case the Trustee shall make such determination); provided, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least one bona fide other offer is received from an independent third party. In determining whether any offer received represents a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated

-23- 

Appraisal conducted in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement within the preceding nine (9)-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The Trustee shall select the appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal. In determining whether any such offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall instruct the appraiser to take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Holders in connection with making such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder unless the Special Servicer has delivered to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicer Mortgage File requested by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. Subject to the foregoing, each Note Holder or its Note Holder Representative shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Mortgage Loan.

Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of its Note. Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver any related original documentation evidencing its Note (endorsed in blank if necessary) to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell any Non-Lead Securitization Note, and the obligations of any other Note Holder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the related Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the holder of such Lead Securitization Note that

sold such Lead Securitization Note into such Securitization from the trust fund established under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the holder of the Lead Securitization Note that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Person under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Person in connection with the Lead Securitization.

(b)          The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan (or to the extent otherwise provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of each Note Holder. The Note Holders agree to be bound by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to the extent set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that may adversely affect any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in its capacity as Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder without such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s prior written consent. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless it is, or is an Affiliate of, the Mortgage Loan Borrower) shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to its rights as specifically provided for therein.

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall (i) provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its Note Holder Representative), within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) use reasonable efforts to consult each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and

-25- 

reports, such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), whether or not such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) may take any Major Decision or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by a Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to annual meetings (which may be held telephonically) with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf), upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

(d)          If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Note Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata share of each Note Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) no Servicer may

-26- 

modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Note Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC which includes the Notes (or any portion thereof). Each Note Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan.

Anything herein or in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if one of the Notes is included in a REMIC and another is not, such other Note Holder shall not be required to reimburse such Note Holder or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to any other Note Holder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

Section 6.     Note Holder Representatives.

(a)          The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person, including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower, any manager of a Mortgaged Property or any principal or Affiliate thereof). No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. Any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified such Servicer or Trustee of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides any Servicer or Trustee with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address and telecopy number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and telecopy numbers). The

-27- 

Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer. None of the Servicers, Operating Advisor and Trustee shall be required to recognize any person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until they receive such information from the Controlling Note Holder. The Controlling Note Holder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Note Holder Representative.

Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will have any liability to any other Note Holder or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over any other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Note Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall provide notice of its identity and contact information (including any change thereof) to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization; provided, that each Initial Note Holder shall be deemed to have provided such notice on the date hereof. The Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such identity and contact information received by it and shall not be liable in respect of any deliveries hereunder sent in reliance thereon.

Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (with respect to such Note Holder, the “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to the Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 6(a) (except those contained in the last sentence thereof) and the second paragraph of this Section

-28- 

6(a) shall apply to each Non-Controlling Note Holder and its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative mutatis mutandis.

For so long as the Lead Securitization Note is included in the Lead Securitization, the “Directing Certificateholder” under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or any other party designated under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to exercise the rights of the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) shall be the Controlling Note Holder Representative.

Section 7.     Appointment of Special Servicer.    The Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have the right (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to each other Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each other party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and delivering a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency (or obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency, but only if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement). The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects any Non-Controlling Note Holder, such Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at a Non-Controlling Note Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of such Non-Controlling Note Holder. Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for reimbursing the Trustee’s or the Controlling Note Holder’s, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Lead Securitization’s “collection account”.

-29- 

Section 8.          Payment Procedure.

(a)       The Lead Securitization Note Holder, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account and/or related Companion Distribution Account (each as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such payments to the applicable account within one Business Day of receipt of properly identified and available funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower (provided, that to the extent that any payment is received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such payments into the applicable account within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such properly identified and available funds but, in any event, the Master Servicer is required to deposit such payments into the applicable account within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such properly identified and available funds).

(b)       If the Lead Securitization Note Holder determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to any Note Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have theretofore distributed to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)       If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder makes any payment to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(d)       Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder, subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Non-Lead Securitization

-30- 

Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. Such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9.          Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders. No Note Holder shall have any liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder; provided, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, each Servicer will nevertheless be subject to the obligations and standards (including the Servicing Standard) set forth in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement.

The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, that each Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 10.          Bankruptcy. Subject to Section 5(c), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and not any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Note Holders hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall

-31- 

execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by any Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 11.          Representations of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, (b) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Section 12.          No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no obligation whatsoever to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates and if the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the Lead Securitization Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates.

Section 13.          Other Business Activities of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder acknowledges that each other Note Holder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity

-32- 

interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

Section 14.          Sale of the Notes.

(a)       Each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its respective Note (or a participation interest in such Note) (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Promptly after any such Transfer, any non-transferring Note Holders shall be provided with (x) a representation from each transferee or the transferring Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer in accordance with the immediately following sentence or a Transfer by a Note Holder to an entity that constitutes a Qualified Institutional Lender pursuant to clause (c)(iii) of the definition thereof) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first (a) obtain the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder and (b) if any such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, provide each of the applicable engaged Rating Agencies for such Securitization Trust with a Rating Agency Communication (or, if the transferring Note Holder is the Lead Securitization Note Holder, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the applicable Rating Agencies for such Securitization Trust). Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if any non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, until a Rating Agency Communication is provided to each engaged Rating Agency for such Securitization Trust, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it shall pay the expenses of any non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and any Controlling Note Holder or Controlling Note Holder Representative) and all expenses relating to any Rating Agency Communication in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of any other Note Holder or of any other Person or having to provide any Rating Agency Communication or having to obtain any Rating Agency Confirmation, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of the Lead Securitization Note together with all of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

-33- 

(b)       In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.

(c)       Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each applicable Rating Agency (or, if not rated by an applicable Rating Agency, an equivalent (or higher) rating from any two of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P) (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to each other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to each other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Note Holder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Note Holder and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s

-34- 

compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

(d)       Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)         The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

(ii)        The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;

(iii)       Such Note Holder pledges its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

(iv)       The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

(v)        Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

Section 15.          Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of each other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and each other Note Holder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 16.          Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 17.          Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a)       SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF,

-36- 

TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

(b)       CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c)       AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

(d)       AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 18.          Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Note Holder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Note Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency; provided that no such Rating Agency Communication shall be required in connection with a modification (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (ii) with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, to make provisions of this Agreement consistent with other provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the creation of New Notes pursuant to Section 32).

Section 19.          Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided herein, including without limitation, with respect to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer and Special Servicer and any Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto. Subject to Section 14 and Section 15, each Note Holder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Note Holder hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the representations in Section 11 shall not be binding upon any Securitization Trust.

-37- 

Section 20.          Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 21.          Captions. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

Section 22.          Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 23.          Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

Section 24.          Withholding Taxes. (a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, such Lead Securitization Note Holder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.

(b)       Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Note Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Note Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Note Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all

-38- 

respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) such Note Holder, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(c)       Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) represents (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that such Note Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if a Note Holder is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if a Note Holder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Note Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Note Holder, as evidence of such Note Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder with respect to any Non-Lead Securitization Note or otherwise until the holder of such Note shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Note Holder requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

Section 25.          Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. Prior to the Lead Securitization Date, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than Note A-2) will be held by the Initial Agent on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. On and after the Lead Securitization Date, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than Note A-2) shall be held in the name of the Note A-1 Trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor) under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. On and after the Note A-2 Securitization Date, Note A-2 shall be held in the name of the Note A-2 Trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor) under the Note A-2 PSA, on behalf of the Note A-2 Holder.

Section 26.          Cooperation in Securitization.

-39- 

(a)       Each Note Holder acknowledges that any Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization and subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, at the request of the related Securitizing Note Holder, each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at such Securitizing Note Holder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with such Securitizing Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which such Securitizing Note Holder customarily adheres or that may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with such Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with such Securitizing Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute such modifications to the Mortgage Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies to effect such Securitization; provided, that no Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall be required to modify or amend this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Documents (or consent to such modification, as applicable) in connection therewith, if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to or priority of such payments to, such Non-Securitizing Note Holder or (ii) materially increase such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s obligations or materially decrease such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with any Securitization, each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to such Securitization such information concerning such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its Note as the related Securitizing Note Holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, and such Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall, at the Securitizing Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and such Securitizing Note Holder in connection with such Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Securitizing Note Holder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable the Securitizing Note Holder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and such Securitization), as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its Note in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that in connection with any Securitization, the information provided by it in its capacity as a Non-Securitizing Note Holder to the related Securitizing Note Holder may be incorporated into the offering documents for such Securitization. Each Securitizing Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, each Non-Securitizing Note Holder. The Securitizing Note Holder shall reasonably cooperate with each Non-Securitizing Note Holder by providing all information reasonably requested that is in the Securitizing Note Holder’s possession in connection with such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s preparation of disclosure materials in connection with a Securitization.

Upon request, each Securitizing Note Holder shall deliver to each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder drafts of the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the pooling and servicing agreement for the Securitization of such Securitizing Note Holder’s Note and provide reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents.

-40- 

Section 27.          Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) facsimile transmission (during business hours) if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (ii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (iii) certified United States mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B hereto, or at such other address as any party shall hereafter inform the other party by written notice given as aforesaid. All written notices so given shall be deemed effective upon receipt.

Section 28.          Broker. Each Note Holder represents to each other that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.

Section 29.          Certain Matters Affecting the Agent. 

(a)       The Agent may request and/or rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 14 and Section 15;

(b)       The Agent may consult with counsel and any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel;

(c)       The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any Note Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

(d)       The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Act, shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by the Agent to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(e)       The Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 15;

(f)        The Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys but shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder; and

(g)       The Agent represents and warrants that it is a Qualified Institutional Lender.

Section 30.          Reserved.

Section 31.          Resignation of Agent. The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders

-41- 

(it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. MSBNA, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of MSBNA without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of the Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement, and any successor master servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place thereof without any further notice or other action.

Section 32.          Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as MSMCH or an affiliate thereof (an “MSMCH Entity”) is the owner of any Non-Lead Securitization Note (each, an “Owned Note”), such MSMCH Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in each case, as applicable, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of an Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing an Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of such Owned Note provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of such Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii) all Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the MSMCH Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts, and (v) the execution of such amendments and New Notes does not violate the Servicing Standard. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the MSMCH Entity holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed in Section 5), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holder of each other Note. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above are satisfied, with respect to clauses (i) through (iv), as certified by the MSMCH Entity, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal. If more than one New Note is created hereunder, for purposes of exercising the rights of a Controlling Note Holder or Non-Controlling Note Holder hereunder, the “Controlling Note Holder” or “Non-Controlling Note Holder”, as applicable, shall be as provided in the definitions of such terms in this Agreement; provided that the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to designate any New Note created from the existing Controlling Note to be a Non-Controlling Note hereunder.

Each Non-Lead Master Servicer may be required to make P&I Advances on the related Non-Lead Securitization Note, from time to time, subject to the terms of the respective Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

to approve material assignments and assumptions or material additional indebtedness in connection with the Mortgage Loan, (iv) the potential termination of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer following a Servicer Termination Event, (v) requirements to obtain an appraisal or appraisal update following a transfer of the Mortgage Loan to special servicing status and periodic updates thereof, (vi) duties of the Special Servicer in respect of foreclosure and the management of REO property, (vii) primary servicing fees, (viii) subject to certain applicable caps and floor provisions, special servicing, workout and liquidation fees (and, in any event, the fees at which such compensation accrue or are determined shall not exceed 0.25% (or, if such rate would result in a special servicing fee that would be less than $3,500 in any given month, such higher rate as would result in a special servicing fee equal to $3,500 (or any other applicable fee floor), 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively) and (ix) indemnification of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, to the extent such parties are identified as indemnified parties in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in respect of other mortgage loans) against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to the related operating advisor, incurred in connection with the provision of services for the Mortgage Loan) to the same extent that the Indemnified Parties are indemnified under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement against the Indemnified Items; provided, that (A) this statement shall not be construed to prohibit differences in timing, control or consultation triggers or thresholds, terminology, allocation of ministerial duties between multiple servicers or other service providers or certificateholder or investor voting or consent thresholds, or to prohibit or restrict additional approval, consent, consultation, notice or rating agency communication and rating agency confirmation requirements; and (B) if there is any conflict between this sentence and any other provision of this Agreement, such other provision of this Agreement shall control.

(f)The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to contain provisions requiring the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to deliver to any Non-Lead Master Servicer, any Non-Lead Special Servicer and any Non-Lead Trustee (i) notice of any Appraisal Reduction Event promptly following the occurrence thereof and (ii) a statement of any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (if the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement provides for calculation of any Collateral Deficiency Amount) promptly following the calculation thereof.

(g)           The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to provide that any matter affecting the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan that requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall also require delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.Priority of Payments. Each Note shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any portion of any other Note or security therefor. All amounts tendered by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or otherwise available for payment on or with respect to or in connection with the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property or amounts realized as proceeds thereof, whether received in the form of Periodic Payments, the Balloon Payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other collateral or instrument securing the Mortgage Loan, Condemnation Proceeds, or Insurance Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents), but excluding (x) all amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Mortgage Loan Documents (to the extent, in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents) to be held as reserves or escrows or received as reimbursements on account of recoveries in respect of property protection expenses or Property Protection Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Trustee or any Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or

26 

reimbursable (except for (i) any reimbursements of P&I Advances previously made (and interest thereon) on the Lead Securitization Note, (ii) any Servicing Fees due to the Master Servicer in excess of any Non-Lead Securitization Note’s pro rata share of that portion of such Servicing Fees calculated at the Servicing Fee Rate applicable to the Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) to any Servicer (or the Trustee as successor to the Servicer), with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including without limitation, any additional trust fund expenses relating to the Mortgage Loan (but subject to second paragraph of Section 5(d) hereof) and any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Workout Fees, Penalty Charges (to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph), amounts paid by the Borrower in respect of modification fees or assumption fees and any other additional compensation payable pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), shall be applied by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its designee) to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

For clarification purposes, Penalty Charges (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) paid on each Note shall first, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Property Protection Advances and reimbursement of any Property Protection Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, second, be used to reduce the respective amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee for any interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to such Note by such party (if and as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable), third, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (other than Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and finally, (i) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable to the Lead Securitization Note, be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable to any Non-Lead Securitization Note, be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of each Note as described in Section 3.

Section 5.Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

27 

(a)Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so).

Upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) to sell each Non-Lead Securitization Note together with the Lead Securitization Note as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell each Non-Lead Securitization Note together with the Lead Securitization Note in the manner set forth in the Lead Securitization Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan if it becomes a Defaulted Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Controlling Note Holder ( provided that such consent is not required if such Non-Controlling Note Holder is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the Non-Controlling Note Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage

28 

Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by such Non-Controlling Note Holder that are material to the price of the Mortgage Loan and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to any other offerors and the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by and Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that each Non-Controlling Note Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, each of the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative, each Non-Controlling Note Holder and each Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Mortgage Loan unless such Person is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the related Non-Lead Securitization Note. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the original related Non-Lead Securitization Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell a Non-Lead Securitization Note, and the obligations of the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the related Non-Lead Securitization Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the holder of such Lead Securitization Note that sold such Lead Securitization Note into such Securitization from the trust fund established under the Lead Securitization Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by such Person with respect to Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the holder of the Lead Securitization Note that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Person under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Person in connection with the Lead Securitization.

(b)The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or to the extent otherwise provided in the Lead Securitization

29 

Servicing Agreement), by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of both Note Holders as a collective whole. The Note Holders agree to be bound by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and/or the Trustee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that may adversely affect any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in its capacity as Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless it is the same Person as or an Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to their rights as specifically provided for therein.

(c)The Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have, with respect to the Mortgage Loan, all of the same rights and powers of the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the other mortgage loans included in the Lead Securitization, without limitation, the right to consent and/or consult regarding Major Decisions and other servicing matters, the right to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans as to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and the right to direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made therein, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including the Servicing Standard).

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, to each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to consult with each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by each

30 

Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) by the Lead Securitization Note Holder of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), whether or not such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

In addition to the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (either telephonically or in person, in the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

(e)If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Note Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata share of each Note Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Note Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any

31 

such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC which includes the Notes (or any portion thereof). Each Note Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan.

Anything herein or in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that one of the Notes is included in a REMIC and another is not, such other Note Holder shall not be required to reimburse such Note Holder or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to any other Note Holder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

Section 6.Appointment of Controlling Note Holder Representative and Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative.

(a)The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower, its principal or any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower), including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. No Servicer, Operating Advisor, Trustee or Certificate Administrator acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified each Servicer, Operating Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides each Servicer, Operating Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to each Servicer, Operating Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator. So

32 

long as no Consultation Termination Event (including any such deemed event) is in effect pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder Representative shall be the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative.

(b)           Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will have any liability to the other Note Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over any other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Note Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

(c)Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (each, a “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in Section 6(a) (except those contained in the last sentence thereof) and Section 6(b) shall apply to each Non-Controlling Note Holder and its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative mutatis mutandis. The Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative, with respect to any Non-Controlling Note, as of the date of this Agreement and until the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) is notified otherwise, shall be the Initial Note A-1 Holder, the Initial Note A-3 Holder, the Initial Note A-4 Holder, the Initial Note A-5 Holder and the Initial Note A-6 Holder, respectively.

Section 7.Appointment of Special Servicer. The Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have the right at any time and from time to time, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to the other Note Holders, the Master Servicer, the then existing Special Servicer and other parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and

33 

satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), if any. The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects any Non-Controlling Note Holder, such Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the successor servicing agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Loan is being serviced) solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the successor servicing agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Loan is being serviced). The Controlling Note Holder and each Non-Controlling Note Holder acknowledge and agree that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at the Non-Controlling Note Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of such Non-Controlling Note Holder. In connection with such termination and appointment, the related Non-Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for reimbursing the Trustee’s or the Controlling Note Holder’s, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account.

Section 8.Payment Procedure.

(a)The Lead Securitization Note Holder, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Whole Loan Custodial Account pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two Business Days after receipt of properly identified and available funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

(b)If the Lead Securitization Note Holder determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or

34 

similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders will promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have theretofore distributed to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder makes any payment to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(d)Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder, subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. Such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9.Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders. No Note Holder shall have any liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder; provided, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, each Servicer will nevertheless be subject to the obligations and standards (including the Servicing Standard) set forth in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement.

The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that the Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 10.Bankruptcy. Subject to Section 5(c), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and not the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Note Holders hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by the Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 11.Representations of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, (b) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or

36 

governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Section 12.          No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates and if any Note Holder chooses to offer to any other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates.

Section 13.Other Business Activities of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder acknowledges that any other Note Holder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

Section 14.Sale of the Notes.

(a)Each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its respective Note (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender. Promptly after the Transfer, the non-transferring Note Holder shall be provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the applicable Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer to a Securitization (and the related pooling and servicing or similar agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement) or in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first obtain consent of the non-transferring Note Holder and, if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, a confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such Transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of its then current rating of the securities issued pursuant to the related Securitization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, without a confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such Transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of its then current rating of the securities issued pursuant to the related Securitization, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to the Mortgage Loan Borrower

37 

or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it will pay the expenses of any non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee) and all expenses relating to the confirmation from the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of the other Note Holders, the Rating Agencies or any other Person, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its Note or any beneficial interest in its Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of Note A-1 together with Note A-2, Note A-3, Note A-4, Note A-5 and Note A-6 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

For the purposes of this Agreement, if any Rating Agency shall, in writing, waive, decline or refuse to review or otherwise engage any request for a confirmation hereunder from such Rating Agency that a proposed action will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of its then current rating of the securities issued pursuant to the related Securitization, such waiver, declination, or refusal shall be deemed to eliminate, for such request only, the condition that such confirmation by such Rating Agency (only) be obtained for purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, any such waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any request for such confirmation hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any subsequent request for such Rating Agency confirmation hereunder and the condition for such Rating Agency confirmation pursuant to this Agreement for any subsequent request shall apply regardless of any previous waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in such prior request.

(b)In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder,

38 

provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to each other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), such other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to such other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to such other Note Holder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Note Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holders to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

(d)Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such

39 

Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

(ii)The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;

(iii)Such Note Holder pledges its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

(iv)The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

(v)Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

Section 15.Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note Holder is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the other Note Holders. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the

40 

provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and the other Note Holders against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Note Holder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.

(b)Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(c)Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder represents to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that such Note Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the

In connection with any Securitization, each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to such Securitization such information concerning such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its Note as the related Securitizing Note Holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, and such Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall, at the Securitizing Note Holder’s expense,

44 

cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and such Securitizing Note Holder in connection with such Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Securitizing Note Holder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable the Securitizing Note Holder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and such Securitization), as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its Note in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that in connection with any Securitization, the information provided by it in its capacity as a Non-Securitizing Note Holder to the related Securitizing Note Holder may be incorporated into the offering documents for such Securitization. Each Securitizing Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, each Non-Securitizing Note Holder. The Securitizing Note Holder shall reasonably cooperate with each Non-Securitizing Note Holder by providing all information reasonably requested that is in the Securitizing Note Holder’s possession in connection with such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s preparation of disclosure materials in connection with a Securitization.

The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. GSMC, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of

46 

GSMC without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement.

Section 32.Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as an Initial Note Holder is the owner of a Non-Lead Securitization Note (the “Owned Note”), such Initial Note Holder shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of such Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing such Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of such Owned Note provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of such Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii) all Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the Initial Note Holder holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts, and (v) the execution of such amendments and New Notes does not violate the Servicing Standard. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the Initial Note Holder holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed in Section 5), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holders of the other Notes. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in (i) through (v) above are satisfied, with respect to (i) through (iv), as certified by the Initial Note Holder, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal. If more than one New Note is created hereunder, for purposes of exercising the rights of the Non-Controlling Note Holder hereunder, the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” of such New Notes shall be as provided in the definition of such term in this Agreement.

(h)          In the event that one of the Notes is included in a REMIC, the other Holders shall not be required to reimburse such Holder or any other Person for payment of any taxes imposed on such REMIC or Advances therefor or for any interest on such Advance or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to the other Holders be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

3.          Priority of Notes. Each Note shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any portion of any other Note or security therefor. Except for the Excluded Amounts, all amounts tendered by the Borrower or otherwise available for payment on the Mortgage Loan, whether received in the form of Monthly Payments, a balloon payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other instrument serving as security on the Mortgage Loan, proceeds under title, hazard or other insurance policies or awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings or similar exercise of the power of eminent domain, shall be distributed by the Servicer and applied to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

- 20 -

The Servicing Agreement shall provide for the application of Penalty Charges paid in respect of the Mortgage Loan to be used (i) to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for interest accrued on any Property Advances and reimbursement of Property Advances, (ii) to pay the parties to any Securitization for interest accrued on any P&I Advance, (iii) to pay certain other expenses incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (iv) to pay to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Upon the occurrence of the Lead Securitization as to which any such proceeds are received, any proceeds received from the sale of the primary servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall be remitted, promptly upon receipt thereof, to the Holders on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis. Any proceeds received by any Holder from the sale of master servicing rights with respect to its Note shall be for its own account.

4.          Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and Section 13 and (prior to the occurrence of a Lead Securitization) Exhibit D of this Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the Mortgage Loan Principal Balance is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of the Notes as described in Section 3.

5.          Accounts; Payment Procedure. The Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Collection Account or Collection Accounts, as applicable. The Note A-1 Holder, the Note A-2 Holder, the Note A-3 Holder, the Note A-4 Holder, the Note A-5 Holder and the Note A-6 Holder hereby direct the Master Servicer, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 hereof, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, (i) to deposit into the applicable Collection Account within the time period specified in the Servicing Agreement all payments received with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (ii) to remit from the applicable Collection Account for deposit or credit on the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date all payments received with respect to and allocable to any Non-Lead Note, by wire transfer to the account maintained by the related Non-Lead Note Holder; provided that delinquent payments received by the Master Servicer after the related Master Servicer Remittance Date shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to such accounts within the time period specified in the Servicing Agreement.

If any Servicer holding or having distributed any amount received or collected in respect of a Note determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of such Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Borrower or paid to the related Holder, or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Servicer shall be required to distribute any portion thereof to such Holder, and such Holder shall promptly on demand repay to such Servicer the portion

- 21 -

thereof which shall have been theretofore distributed to such Holder together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Servicer shall have been required to pay to the Borrower, the other Holder, any Servicer or such other person or entity with respect thereto. Each Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Holder under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that the obligations of each Holder under this Section 5 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall any Servicer enforce the obligations of any Holder against any other Holder. The obligations of the Holders under this Section 5 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations and each Servicer shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of these provisions.

6.          Limitation on Liability. Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, no Holder (including the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf) shall have any liability to any other Holder with respect to any Note, except (1) with respect to the Advance reimbursement provisions set forth in Section 17 and (2) with respect to losses actually suffered due to the negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement on the part of such Holder (including the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf, and the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s liability is further limited as set forth in the Servicing Agreement; which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not reduce the obligation of such parties to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard).

7.          Representations of the Holders. (a)  Each Initial Note Holder hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, each other Holder that, as of the date hereof:

(i)          It is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (x) in the case of Citi and DB-AG, under the laws of the jurisdiction under which each is organized or (y) in the case of BANA, as a national banking association under the laws of the United States of America.

(ii)         The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder, and performance of, and compliance with, the terms of this Agreement by such Holder, will not violate its organizational documents or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or that is applicable to it or any of its assets, in each case which materially and adversely affect its ability to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iii)        Such Holder has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

- 22 -

(iv)        This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Holder enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law.

(v)         It has the right to enter into this Agreement without the consent of any third party.

(vi)        It is the holder of its respective Note for its own account in the ordinary course of its business.

(vii)       It has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person, that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(viii)      It is a Qualified Transferee.

8.          Independent Analyses of each Holder. Each Holder acknowledges that, except for the representations made in Section 7, it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Holder and based on such documents and information as such Holder has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to purchase its respective Note. Each Holder hereby acknowledges that no other Holder shall have any responsibility for (i) the collectability of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the validity, enforceability or legal effect of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the title insurance policy or policies or any survey furnished or to be furnished in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, (iii) the validity, sufficiency or effectiveness of the lien created or to be created by the Mortgage Loan Documents, or (iv) the financial condition of the Borrower.

9.          No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute between any Holder (or any servicer or trustee on its behalf) and any other Holder a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. Each Holder (or any servicer or trustee on its behalf) shall have no obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Holder the opportunity to purchase notes or interests relating to any future loans originated by such Holder or any of its Affiliates, and if any Holder chooses to offer to any other Holder, the opportunity to purchase notes or interests in any future mortgage loans originated by such Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. None of the Holders shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Holder any notes or interests in any future loans originated by any other Holder or any of its Affiliates.

- 23 -

10.          Not a Security. None of the Notes shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

11.          Other Business Activities of the Holders. Each Holder acknowledges that each other Holder may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower Party, and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to any Borrower Party and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability, but only if none of the foregoing violate the Mortgage Loan Documents, in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

12.          Transfer of Notes. (a)  Each Holder may Transfer up to 49% of its beneficial interest in its Note whether or not the related transferee is a Qualified Transferee without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Each Holder shall not Transfer more than 49% of its beneficial interest in its Note unless (i) prior to a Securitization of any Note, each other Holder has consented to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, (ii) after a Securitization of any Note, a Rating Agency Confirmation has been received with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, or (iii) such Transfer is to a Qualified Transferee. Any such transferee must assume in writing the obligations of the transferring Holder hereunder and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Such proposed transferee (except in the case of Transfers that are made in connection with a Securitization) shall also remake each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of the other Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if any such non-transferring Holder’s Note is in a Securitization, without a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency that has been engaged by the applicable Depositor to rate the securities issued in connection with such Securitization, no Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note to any Borrower Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.

(b)          Except for a Transfer made in connection with a Securitization, or a Transfer made by an Initial Note Holder to an Affiliate, at least five (5) days prior to a transfer of any Note, the transferring Holder shall provide to each other Holder and, if any Certificates are outstanding, to the Rating Agencies, a certification that such transfer will be made in accordance with this Section 12, such certification to include (1) the name and contact information of the transferee and (2) if applicable, a certification by the transferee that it is a Qualified Transferee.

(c)          The Holders acknowledge that any Rating Agency Confirmation may be granted or denied by the Rating Agencies in their sole and absolute discretion and that such Rating Agencies may charge the transferring Holder customary fees in connection with providing such Rating Agency Confirmation.

- 24 -

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Holder may pledge or transfer (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than any Borrower Party) that has extended a credit facility to such Holder or has entered into a repurchase agreement with such Holder and that, in each case, is either a Qualified Transferee or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), or to a Person with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained, on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 12(d), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to any Holder or any Affiliate that controls such Holder that is secured by such Holder’s interest in its respective Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder on the condition that all applicable terms and conditions of this Section 12 are complied with. A Note Pledgee that is not a Qualified Transferee may not take title to a Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice, if any, by the pledging Holder to each other Holder and the Master Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give such Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Holder has actual knowledge and which notice shall be given simultaneously with the giving of such notice to the pledging Holder; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations to such other Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement (if the pledging Holder had the right to consent to such amendment, modification, waiver or termination pursuant to the terms hereof) shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to be given if Note Pledgee shall fail to respond to any request for consent to any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination within 10 days after request therefor; (iv) that each other Holder shall accept any cure by such Note Pledgee of any default of the pledging Holder which such pledging Holder has the right to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Holder; (v) that each other Holder or any Servicer shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the Master Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Holder is in default beyond any applicable cure periods with respect to the pledging Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement or other agreements relating to the Pledge between the pledging Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee (or at any time that pledging Holder otherwise directs that such payment be made to Note Pledgee pursuant to a separate notice) shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Servicer would otherwise be obligated to make to the pledging Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Holder and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Holder on account of any Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or other Holder in good faith to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted

- 25 -

to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Holder (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law, the pledge agreement, repurchase agreement or similar agreement between the pledging Holder and the Note Pledgee and this Agreement. In such event, or if the pledging holder otherwise assigns its interests to the Note Pledgee, each other Holder and the Master Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee (other than any Borrower Party) that is also a Qualified Transferee at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and such Person’s successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Transferee shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 12(d) shall remain effective as to any Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified such Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

13.          Exercise of Remedies by the Servicer. (a)  Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole and exclusive authority to (i) modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) consent to any action or failure to act by the Borrower or any party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, (iii) vote all claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and (iv) to take legal action to enforce or protect each Holder’s interests with respect to the Mortgage Loan or to refrain from exercising any powers or rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents, including the right at any time to call or waive any Events of Default, or accelerate or refrain from accelerating the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action, and the Holders shall have no voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Servicer’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have the sole and exclusive authority to make Property Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Servicer the rights, if any, that such Holder has to (A) call or cause the Servicer to call an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, or (B) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Note Holder or such Servicer to file any bankruptcy petition against the Borrower. Each Holder shall, from time to time, execute such documents as any Servicer shall reasonably require to evidence such assignment with respect to the rights described in clause (iii) of the first sentence in this Section 13(a).

(b)          The Lead Servicer and the Trustee for the Lead Securitization shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Servicer and such Trustee from

- 26 -

their respective obligation under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).

(c)          The Holders hereby acknowledge that the Servicing Agreement shall provide that, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the next sentence, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, if the Special Servicer determines to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (or the Lead Note), it will be required to sell the entire Defaulted Mortgage Loan as a single whole loan (i.e., both the Lead Note and the Non-Lead Notes). Any such sale of the entire Defaulted Mortgage Loan is subject to the satisfaction of one of the following two conditions:

(i)          Each Non-Lead Note Holder has provided written consent to such sale; or

(ii)          The Special Servicer has delivered the following notices and information to each Non-Lead Note Holder:

(1)          at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan;

(2)          at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale;

(3)          at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File requested by such Non-Lead Note Holder; and

(4)          until the sale is completed and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Holder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale.

Each Non-Lead Note Holder may waive any delivery or timing requirements set forth above only for itself. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Lead Note Holder, the Directing Holder, each Non-Lead Note Holder and each Non-Directing Holder shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (unless such Person is a Borrower Party).

Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 13(c), each Non-Lead Note Holder hereby appoints the Lead Note Holder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of its Non-Lead Note. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 13(c), each Non-Lead Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Note Holder, such Non-Lead Note Holder shall execute and deliver

- 27 -

to or at the direction of Lead Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver its original Non-Lead Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Servicer on behalf of the Holders of its rights under this Section 13 shall be subject in all respects to any section of the Servicing Agreement governing REMIC administration, and in no event shall the Servicer be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action if taking or failing to take such action, as the case may be, would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Mortgage Loan Documents or be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement or violate the REMIC provisions of the Code or any regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2(g) of this Agreement.

14.          Rights of the Directing Holder. The Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Directing Holder hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the “Directing Holder,” “Controlling Class Certificateholder,” “Controlling Class Representative” or similar party under, and as defined in, the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and, except as set forth below (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any Major Decision unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any Major Decision as to which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Holder in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Decision. The Directing Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Directing Holder may deem advisable.

If the Directing Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after delivery to the Directing Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Decision, together with any information requested by the Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day (or thirty (30) days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) period, such Major Decision shall be deemed to have been approved by the Directing Holder.

In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable,

- 28 -

determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Holder is necessary to protect the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response.

No objection, direction or advice contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC provisions of the Code or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Lead Securitization Trust or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities under the Servicing Agreement.

The Directing Holder shall have no liability to any other Holder or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Holders agree that the Directing Holder may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Holder over any other Holder, and that the Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of any other Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Directing Holder, agree to take no action against the Directing Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that the Directing Holder will not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Holder.

15.          Appointment of Special Servicer. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for so long as the Lead Note is included in the Lead Securitization, the Directing Holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a Qualified Servicer as the replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. The Directing Holder shall designate a Person to serve as Special Servicer by delivering to each other Holder and the parties to each PSA a written notice stating such designation and by satisfying the other conditions required under the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Servicing Agreement), if any.

16.          Rights of the Non-Directing Holder. (a)  The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Servicer shall be required:

- 29 -

(i)          to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Directing Holder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan to each Non-Directing Holder, within the same time frame it is required to provide to such Directing Holder (but without regard to whether or not the Directing Holder has lost any rights to receive such information as a result of a Consultation Termination Event); and

(ii)          to consult with any Non-Directing Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, if, having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Directing Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decision or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Directing Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days (or in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) days) from the delivery to such Non-Directing Holder of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notices, information and reports required to be provided to, or requested by, the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Directing Holder (unless the Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period (or in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) day period) shall be begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto).

(b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing non-binding consultation rights of each Non-Directing Holder, the Servicer may take any Major Decision or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period (or thirty (30) day period with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) if the Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Holders.

(c)          In addition to the foregoing non-binding consultation rights, each Non-Directing Holder shall have the right to annual conference calls with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

(d)          In no event shall the Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any Non-Directing Holder.

(e)          If a Non-Directing Holder is a Borrower Party, it shall not be entitled to any of the rights set forth in this Section 16.

17.          Advances; Reimbursement of Advances. (a) (i) Pursuant to terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Servicer and/or the Trustee shall be obligated (subject to customary determinations of non-recoverability) to make (1) Property Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property and (2) P&I Advances with respect to the Lead

- 30 -

Note (and any other Note(s) included in the Lead Securitization) and (ii) pursuant to the terms of each Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and/or the related Non-Lead Trustee may be obligated to make P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Lead Note(s). The Lead Servicer and/or the Trustee will not be required to make any P&I Advance with respect to any Non-Lead Note (other than a Non-Lead Note that is also included in the Lead Securitization) and no Non-Lead Master Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee will be required to make any P&I Advance with respect to the Lead Note, any other Non-Lead Note (other than another Non-Lead Note that is also included in the same Non-Lead Securitization) or any Property Advance. The Lead Servicer, each Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Trustee and each Non-Lead Trustee will be entitled to interest on any Advance (at a rate not to exceed the Prime Rate) made in the manner and from the sources provided in the Note A-1 PSA, the Note A-2 PSA, the Note A-3 PSA, the Note A-4 PSA, the Note A-5 PSA and the Note A-6 PSA, as applicable.

(b)          The Lead Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for a Property Advance, first from the Collection Account established with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and then, if such Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization as provided in the Servicing Agreement.

(c)          To the extent amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Lead Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any Property Advance and/or interest thereon and the Lead Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, obtains funds from general collections of the Lead Securitization as a reimbursement for such Property Advance or interest thereon, each Non-Lead Note Holder (including any Securitization into which a Non-Lead Note is deposited) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Lead Servicer, pay to the Lead Securitization for its Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis share of such Property Advance and/or interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate so reimbursed from general collections (to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collection Account are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts). In addition, each Non-Lead Note Holder (including any Securitization into which a Non-Lead Note is deposited) shall promptly reimburse the Lead Servicer or the related Trustee for such Non-Lead Note Holder’s Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis share of any fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan as to which the Lead Securitization or any of the parties thereto are entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement (to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collection Account are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts).

(d)          The parties to each of the Note A-1 PSA, the Note A-2 PSA, the Note A-3 PSA, the Note A-4 PSA, the Note A-5 PSA and the Note A-6 PSA shall each be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Note A-1 PSA, the Note A-2 PSA, the Note A-3 PSA, the Note A-4 PSA, the Note A-5 PSA and the Note A-6 PSA, as applicable.

Each Note Holder acknowledges that any other Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization and agrees that it will, subject to Section 26, reasonably cooperate with such other Note Holder, at such other Note Holder’s expense, to effect such Securitization.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for interest on a Servicing Advance (including any Servicing Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Advance) at the Reimbursement Rate in the manner and from the sources provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, including from general collections of the Lead Securitization.

Following the Securitization of any Note (including any New Note), as applicable, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to a Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be delivered to the master servicer and the special servicer with respect to such Securitization (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to such master servicer and the special servicer, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(f)In addition to the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain terms and conditions that are customary for securitization transactions involving assets similar to the Mortgage Loan and that are otherwise (i) required by the Code relating to the tax elections of the trust fund formed pursuant to such Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (ii) required by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation or (iii) requested by the Rating Agencies engaged to rate the Lead Securitization. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall also satisfy Moody’s rating methodology for eligible accounts and permitted investments for a securitization rated “Aaa” by Moody’s.

(g)Without limiting the generality of the preceding Section 2(f), the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain customary provisions with respect to (i) servicing transfer events that would result in the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to special

-21- 

servicing status, (ii) the authority of the Controlling Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on its behalf) to grant or agree or consent to material modifications, waivers and amendments to the Mortgage Loan, or to approve material assignments and assumptions or material additional indebtedness in connection with the Mortgage Loan, (iii) the potential termination of the related Master Servicer and Special Servicer following a servicer termination event (which shall include customary market termination events with respect to failures to make advances, failure to remit payments for deposit in the “companion distribution account” (or equivalent account), failure to deliver (or cause to be delivered) materials or notices required in order for the Non-Lead Depositor to timely comply with its obligations under the Exchange Act, and Rating Agency triggers with respect to the certificates, subject to customary grace periods (provided, in the case of failures related to the Exchange Act, such grace periods will not cause the Non-Lead Depositor to fail to comply with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act)), (iv) requirements to obtain an appraisal or appraisal update following a transfer of the Mortgage Loan to special servicing status and periodic updates thereof, (v) duties of the Special Servicer in respect of foreclosure and the management of REO property, (vi) special servicing, workout and liquidation fees (and, in any event, the percentage rates at which such fees accrue or are determined on the applicable amounts shall not exceed 0.25%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, subject, however, to customary market minimum fees), (vii) requirements that, to the extent related to the Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, Rating Agency Confirmations and Rating Agency Communications be provided with respect to the commercial mortgage pass-through certificates issued in connection with any Non-Lead Securitization to the same extent provided with respect to the commercial mortgage pass-through certificates issued in connection with the Lead Securitization and (viii) indemnification of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer (and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, to the extent such parties are identified as indemnified parties in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in respect of other mortgage loans) against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, incurred in connection with the provision of services for the Mortgage Loan); provided, that (A) this Section 2(g) shall not be construed to prohibit differences in timing, control or consultation triggers or thresholds, terminology, allocation of ministerial duties between multiple servicers or other service providers or certificateholder or investor voting or consent thresholds, or to prohibit or restrict additional approval, consent, consultation, notice or rating agency confirmation requirements; and (B) if there is any conflict between this Section 2(g) and any other provision of this Agreement, such other provision of this Agreement shall control. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall also contain provisions requiring the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to deliver to any Non-Lead Master Servicer, any Non-Lead Special Servicer and any Non-Lead Trustee (i) notice of any Appraisal Reduction Event promptly following the occurrence thereof and (ii) a statement of any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (if the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement provides for the calculation of any Collateral Deficiency Amount) promptly following the calculation thereof.

(h) The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall also contain (i) provisions requiring the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the

-22- 

Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator (A) to deliver or make available to any such Non-Lead Depositor, Non-Lead Trustee or Non-Lead Certificate Administrator (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information (in its possession or reasonably attainable) necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of such Non-Lead Depositor to permit such Non-Lead Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB and (B) to provide each person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification (or analogous term as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) for any Non-Lead Securitization (individually and collectively, the “Certifying Person”), the applicable certification on which each Certifying Person can reasonably rely, (ii) customary industry standard indemnification provisions for the failure of the applicable parties to timely deliver (or cause to be timely delivered) the materials and notices required pursuant to clause (i) above, (iii) provisions requiring each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer to indemnify and hold harmless each Certifying Person from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by such Certifying Person arising out of delivery of any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable (or analogous term as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) by, or on behalf of, such party, and (iv) provisions that require (A) a party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to provide a copy of any executed amendment to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to any Non-Lead Depositor and Non-Lead Certificate Administrator (which may be by email), in order for any such Non-Lead Depositor to timely comply with its obligations under the Exchange Act and (B) a replacement Master Servicer or replacement Special Servicer, as applicable, to provide all disclosure about itself to the Non-Lead Depositor that is required to be included in a Form 8-K no later than the effectiveness of such replacement.

Section 3.Priority of Payments. Each Note shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any portion of any other Note or security therefor. All amounts tendered by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or otherwise available for payment on or with respect to or in connection with the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property or amounts realized as proceeds thereof, whether received in the form of Scheduled Payments, the Balloon Payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other collateral or instrument securing the Mortgage Loan, Condemnation Proceeds, or Insurance Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to the extent permitted by the REMIC Provisions), shall be applied by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its designee) to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis; provided, that (x) all amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Mortgage Loan Documents (to the extent and in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents) to be held as reserves or escrows or received as reimbursements on account of recoveries in respect of property protection expenses or Servicing Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Trustee or any Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall be applied to the extent set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Mortgage Loan Documents; and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable to any Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and any other additional compensation payable to it thereunder (including without limitation, any additional trust fund expenses under the Lead

-23- 

Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan (but subject to the second paragraph of Section 5(d) hereof) reimbursable to, or payable by, such parties and any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Workout Fees, Penalty Charges (to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph), but excluding (i) any P&I Advances (and interest thereon) on the Lead Securitization Note, which shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, and (ii) any Servicing Fees due to the Master Servicer in excess of each Non-Lead Securitization Note’s pro rata share of that portion of such servicing fees calculated at the “primary servicing fee rate” applicable to the Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, which such excess shall not be subject to the allocation provisions of this Section 3) shall be payable in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

For clarification purposes, “Penalty Charges” (or analogous term as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) paid on each Note shall first, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Servicing Advances and reimbursement of any Servicing Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, second, be used to reduce the respective amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, any Non-Lead Master Servicer or any Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, for any interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to such Note by such party (if and as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or applicable Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable), third, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (other than Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and finally, with respect to any remaining amount of Penalty Charges, (x) prior to the securitization of the Lead Securitization Note or at any time the Mortgage Loan is not being serviced pursuant to a Securitization Servicing Agreement, pro rata to each Note Holder, and (y) following the securitization of the Lead Securitization Note, to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of each Note as described in Section 3.

Section 5.Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where

-24- 

required, of the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on its behalf) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any right to, and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has to, (i) call, or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call, an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing, or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file, any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on its behalf) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so).

Each Note Holder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder), upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing. Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan shall be determined by the Special Servicer (unless the offeror is an Interested Person, in which case the Trustee shall make such determination); provided, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two bona fide other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received represents a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement within the preceding nine (9)-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The Trustee shall select the appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal. In determining whether any such offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall instruct the appraiser to take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level

-25- 

and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters 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, and that has been retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Holders in connection with making such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Controlling Note Holder unless the Special Servicer has delivered to each Non-Controlling Note Holder: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicer Mortgage File requested by such Non-Controlling Note Holder; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder or the Controlling Note Holder, as applicable) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. Subject to the foregoing, each Note Holder or its Note Holder Representative shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Mortgage Loan unless such Person is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of its Note. Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver any related original documentation evidencing its Note (endorsed in blank if necessary) to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell any Non-Lead Securitization Note, and the obligations of any other Note Holder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the related Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the holder of such Lead Securitization Note that sold such Lead Securitization Note into such Securitization from the trust fund established under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by such Person with respect

-26- 

to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the holder of the Lead Securitization Note that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Person under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Person in connection with the Lead Securitization.

(b)The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan (or to the extent otherwise provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of each Note Holder. The Note Holders agree to be bound by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to the extent set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that may adversely affect any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in its capacity as Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder without such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s prior written consent. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless it is, or is an Affiliate of, the Mortgage Loan Borrower) shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to its rights as specifically provided for therein.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Note Holder, as applicable, pursuant to (and notwithstanding the existence of any “control termination event” (or analogous term) under) the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its Note Holder Representative), within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to use reasonable efforts to consult with each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and

-27- 

consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), whether or not such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by a Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to annual meetings (which may be held telephonically) with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf), upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

(d)If any Note is included as an asset of a REMIC, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Note Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata share of each Note Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Note Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the

-28- 

Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC which includes the Notes (or any portion thereof), or would otherwise violate any REMIC Provisions applicable to a REMIC that holds any Note (or any portion thereof). Each Note Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC Provisions in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 5(d), to the extent that such costs and expenses relate to administration of a REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, shall be borne by each Note Holder solely with respect to the REMIC trust that includes its own Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, one Note Holder (the “Uninvolved Note Holder”) shall not be required to reimburse any other Note Holder or any other Person for payment of the following items related to any REMIC that does not or did not include the Uninvolved Note Holder’s Note: (i) any taxes imposed on any such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of any such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under any such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to the Uninvolved Note Holder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

Section 6.Rights of the Controlling Note Holder.

(a)The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person, including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower, any manager of a Mortgaged Property or any principal or Affiliate thereof). No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. No Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified each Servicer, Certificate Administrator and Trustee of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides each Servicer, Certificate Administrator and Trustee with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment (and such parties will be entitled to rely on such notice), an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall

-29- 

promptly deliver such information to any Servicer, Certificate Administrator and Trustee. None of the Servicers, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator and Trustee shall be required to recognize any person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until they receive such information from the Controlling Note Holder. The Controlling Note Holder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Note Holder Representative.

Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder, in such capacity, will have any liability to the other Note Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence or its breach of this Agreement. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over any other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder Representative or Controlling Note Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Note Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence or a breach of this Agreement on the part of the Controlling Note Holder Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, acting in such capacity, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights, or to have breached this Agreement by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall provide notice of its identity and contact information (including any change thereof) to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization; provided, that each Initial Note Holder shall be deemed to have provided such notice on the date hereof. The Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such identity and contact information received by it and shall not be liable in respect of any deliveries hereunder sent in reliance thereon.

Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (with respect to such Note Holder, the “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to the Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 6(a) (except those contained in the last sentence thereof) and the second paragraph of this Section 6(a) shall apply to each Non-Controlling Note Holder and its Non-Controlling Note Holder

-30- 

Representative mutatis mutandis. The Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative, as of the date of this Agreement and until the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) is notified otherwise, shall be the Initial Note A-2 Holder with respect to Note A-2, provided that at any time Note A-2 is included in a Securitization, references to the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” herein shall mean the related “Directing Certificateholder” or “Controlling Class Representative” under the applicable Non-Lead Securitization or any other party assigned the rights to exercise the rights of the related “Non-Controlling Note Holder” hereunder, as and to the extent provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and as to the identity of which the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) has been given written notice.

(b)The Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Controlling Note hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan (assuming that no “Control Termination Event” or “Consultation Termination Event”, as applicable, has occurred and is continuing (or that periods defined by analogous terms during which control and/or consultation are permitted, such as “Subordinate Control Period”, are in effect) under, and as defined in, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

No objection, direction, consent or advice in connection with the exercise of such rights and powers may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC Provisions of the Code or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

For so long as the Lead Securitization Note is included in the Lead Securitization, the “Directing Certificateholder” under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or any other party designated under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to exercise the rights of the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) shall be the Controlling Note Holder Representative.

Section 7.Appointment of Special Servicer. The Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have the right (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to each other Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each other party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Communication or a Rating Agency Confirmation, but only if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and delivering to each Non-Controlling Note Holder a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any rated securities issued and outstanding under the related Securitization, if applicable. The Controlling Note

-31- 

Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects any Non-Controlling Note Holder, such Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the successor servicing agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Loan is being serviced) solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the successor servicing agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Loan is being serviced). Each Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at a Non-Controlling Note Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of such Non-Controlling Note Holder. Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for reimbursing the Trustee’s or the Controlling Note Holder’s, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Lead Securitization’s “collection account” (or equivalent account).

Section 8.Payment Procedure.

(a)The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the “collection account” and/or related “companion distribution account” (or analogous account terms each as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such payments to the applicable account within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower (provided, that to the extent that any payment is received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such payments into the applicable account within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such payments but, in any event, the Master Servicer is required to deposit such payments into the applicable account within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such payments). In addition, the Lead Securitization Servicing

-32- 

Agreement shall require that distributions to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders shall occur no later than the Master Servicer Non-Lead Securitization Note Remittance Date.

(b)If the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to any Note Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall have theretofore distributed to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) makes any payment to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf).

(d)Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder, subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. Such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9.Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders. No Note Holder shall have any liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder; provided, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, each Servicer will nevertheless be subject to the obligations and standards (including the Servicing Standard) set forth in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement.

-33- 

The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee on its behalf) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee on its behalf) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee on its behalf) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, that each Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement.

Section 10.Bankruptcy. Subject to Section 5(c), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and not any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Note Holders hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by any Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.Representations of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note

-34- 

Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, (b) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Section 12.No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no obligation whatsoever to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates and if the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the Lead Securitization Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates.

Section 13.Other Business Activities of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder acknowledges that each other Note Holder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

Section 14.Sale of the Notes.

(a)Each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its respective Note (or a participation interest in such Note) (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that

-35- 

with respect to any transfer of the Controlling Note into a securitization in reliance on clause (b), clause (c)(iii)(1) or clause (c)(iii)(2) of the definition of Qualified Institutional Lender, the special servicer and related servicing arrangements shall satisfy the requirements of clause (c)(iii)(2) of such definition regardless which of such three clauses is relied upon for such transfer. Promptly after any such Transfer, any non-transferring Note Holders shall be provided with (x) a representation from each transferee or the transferring Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer in accordance with the immediately following sentence or a Transfer by a Note Holder to an entity that constitutes a Qualified Institutional Lender pursuant to clause (c)(iii) of the definition thereof) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15 (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement). If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first (a) obtain the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder and (b) if any such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, as and to the extent required by the applicable Securitization Servicing Agreement, deliver a Rating Agency Communication (if a Rating Agency Confirmation is not required thereunder) to, or obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from, each of the applicable engaged Rating Agencies for such Securitization Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if any non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, without a Rating Agency Confirmation from, or Rating Agency Communication to, as applicable, each engaged Rating Agency for such Securitization Trust, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it shall pay the expenses of any non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and any Controlling Note Holder or Controlling Note Holder Representative) and all expenses relating to any Rating Agency Confirmation or Rating Agency Communication in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of any other Note Holder or of any other Person or having to provide any Rating Agency Confirmation or Rating Agency Communication, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note, other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of the Lead Securitization Note together with all of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

(b)In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue

-36- 

to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each applicable Rating Agency (or, if not rated by an applicable Rating Agency, an equivalent (or higher) rating from any two of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P) (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to each other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to each other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Note Holder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Note Holder and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. A Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note

-37- 

Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

(d)Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

(ii)The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;

(iii)Such Note Holder pledges (or sells, transfers or assigns as part of a repurchase facility) its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

(iv)The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

(v)Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

-38- 

Section 15.Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of each other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and each other Note Holder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 16.Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

(b)CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c)AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

(d)AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 18.Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Note Holder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Note Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating any securities of any Securitization; provided that no such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required in connection with a modification (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (ii) with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, to make provisions of this Agreement consistent with other provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the creation of New Notes pursuant to Section 31).

Section 19.Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Subject to Section 14 and Section 15, each Note Holder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Note Holder hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the representations in Section 11 shall not be binding upon any Securitization Trust.

Section 23.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

Section 24.Withholding Taxes. (a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, such Lead Securitization Note Holder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.

(b)Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Note Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Note Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Note Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to

Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that such Note Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement.

In connection with any Securitization, each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to such Securitization such information concerning such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its Note as the related Securitizing Note Holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, and such Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall, at the Securitizing Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and such Securitizing Note Holder in connection with such Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Securitizing Note Holder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable the Securitizing Note Holder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and such Securitization), as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its Note in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that in connection with any Securitization, the information provided by it in its capacity as a Non-Securitizing Note Holder to the related Securitizing Note Holder may be incorporated into the offering documents for such Securitization. Each Securitizing Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, each Non-Securitizing Note Holder. The Securitizing Note Holder shall reasonably cooperate with each Non-Securitizing Note Holder by providing all information reasonably requested that is in the Securitizing Note Holder’s possession in connection with such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s preparation of disclosure materials in connection with a Securitization.

Upon request, each Securitizing Note Holder shall deliver to each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder drafts of the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the pooling and

servicing agreement for the Securitization of such Securitizing Note Holder’s Note and provide reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents.

(c)The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any Note Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

(g)The Agent represents and warrants that it is a Qualified Institutional Lender.

-44- 

Section 30.Resignation or Termination of Agent. The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. BANA, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of BANA without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement, and any successor master servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place thereof without any further notice or other action.

Section 31.Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as BANA or an affiliate thereof (an “Original Entity”) is the owner of any Non-Lead Securitization Note (each, an “Owned Note”), such Original Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in each case, as applicable, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of an Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing an Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of such Owned Note provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of such Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii) all Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the Original Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts and (v) the execution of such amendments and New Notes does not violate the Servicing Standard. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the Original Entity holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed in Section 5), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holder of each other Note. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above are satisfied, and, with respect to clauses (i) through (iv), as certified by the Original Entity, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal and that each New Note shall be a “Note” hereunder and for the purpose of adding and modifying any definitions related thereto. If more than one New Note is created hereunder, for purposes of exercising the rights of a Controlling Note Holder or Non-Controlling Note Holder hereunder, the “Controlling Note Holder” or “Non-Controlling Note Holder”, as applicable, shall

-45- 

be as provided in the definitions of such terms in this Agreement; provided that the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to designate any New Note created from the existing Controlling Note to be a Non-Controlling Note hereunder.

Any Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee under any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall be entitled to make its own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the related Non-Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and any Non-Lead Master Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, shall each be required to notify the other of the amount of its P&I Advance within two business days of making such advance. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable (with respect to the Lead Securitization Note) or a Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note), determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be non-recoverable or an outstanding P&I Advance is or would be non-recoverable, or if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would be non-recoverable or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be non-recoverable, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee) or such Non-Lead Master Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee (as provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of the a determination of non-recoverability by a Non-Lead Master Servicer, a Non-Lead Special Servicer or a Non-Lead Trustee) shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee, or the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Trustee, as the case may be, of such other Securitization within two Business Days of making such determination. Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee, any Non-Lead Master Servicer and any Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, shall only be entitled to reimbursement for a P&I Advance that becomes non-recoverable first from the related Companion Distribution Account from amounts allocable to the Note for which such P&I Advance was made, and then, if such funds are insufficient, (i) in the case of the Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the Lead Securitization Trust, pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of a Non-Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the related Securitization Trust, as and to the extent provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(c)Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, if its Non-Lead Securitization Note is included in a Securitization, shall cause the applicable Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to contain provisions to the effect that:

(i)   such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances (and interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and any additional trust fund expenses under the

-18-

Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the Notes, including without limitation, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees relating to the Notes, and that if the funds received with respect to each respective Note are insufficient to cover such Servicing Advances or additional trust fund expenses, (x) the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of any such Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances (and interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and/or additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan, and (y) if the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement permits the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor to reimburse itself from the Lead Securitization Trust’s general collections, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, may do so and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Lead Securitization Trust out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of any such Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances (and interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and/or additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan;

(ii)     each of the Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of such Indemnified Parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) by the Securitization Trust holding such Non-Lead Securitization Note, against any of the Indemnified Items to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the related “Companion Distribution Account” are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;

(iii)the related Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Certificate Administrator or Non-Lead Trustee will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer (x) promptly following Securitization of such Non-Lead Securitization Note, notice of the deposit of such Non-Lead Securitization Note into a Securitization Trust (which notice shall also provide contact information for the related Non-Lead Trustee, certificate administrator, Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling

-19-

Note Holder” under this Agreement), accompanied by a certified copy of the executed Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (y) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note under this Agreement (together with the relevant contact information); and

(iv)the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and the Lead Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions.

(d)If a Non-Lead Securitization Note becomes the subject of an Asset Review pursuant to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer or any other party to such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with such Asset Review by providing the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably requested by the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party, but only to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be.

(e)Prior to the Securitization of any Note (including any New Note), all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to a Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) only need to be delivered to the related Note Holder (or its Note Holder Representative) and, when so delivered to such Note Holder (or Note Holder Representative, as applicable), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Following the Securitization of any Note (including any New Note), as applicable, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to a Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be delivered to the master servicer and the special servicer with respect to such Securitization (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to such master servicer and the special servicer, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(f)In addition to the foregoing, each Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain terms and conditions that are customary for securitization transactions involving assets similar to the Mortgage Loan and that are otherwise (i) required by the Code relating to the tax elections of the trust fund formed pursuant to such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (ii) required by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation or (iii) requested by the Rating Agencies rating the related Securitization.  Each Non-Controlling

-20-

Note Holder shall have the right to designate the Non-Lead Master Servicer and Non-Lead Special Servicer with respect to the Securitization related to its Note, as long as each such Servicer satisfies the conditions to be the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of any provision set forth above, for purposes of the Mortgage Loan, each Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain provisions (x) requiring the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Special Servicer to maintain, or subjecting them to possible termination for not maintaining, compliance with customary servicer rating criteria (but the rating agencies need not be the same) and (y) providing for indemnification of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, certificate administrator, Trustee and Operating Advisor under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, to the extent such parties are identified as indemnified parties in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in respect of other mortgage loans) against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to the Operating Advisor, incurred in connection with the provision of services for the Mortgage Loan) to the same extent that the Indemnified Parties are indemnified under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement against the Indemnified Items; provided, that (A) this statement shall not be construed to prohibit differences in timing, control or consultation triggers or thresholds, terminology, allocation of ministerial duties between multiple servicers or other service providers or certificateholder or investor voting or consent thresholds, or to prohibit or restrict additional approval, consent, consultation, notice or rating agency confirmation requirements; and (B) if there is any conflict between this sentence and any other provision of this Agreement, such other provision of this Agreement shall control.

(g)The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to contain provisions requiring the Master Servicer to deliver to any Non-Lead Master Servicer, any Non-Lead Special Servicer and any Non-Lead Trustee (i) notice of any Appraisal Event promptly following the occurrence thereof and (ii) a statement of any Appraisal Reduction promptly following the calculation thereof.

Section 3.Priority of Payments. Each Note shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any portion of any other Note or security therefor. All amounts tendered by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or otherwise available for payment on or with respect to or in connection with the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property or amounts realized as proceeds thereof, whether received in the form of Scheduled Payments, the Balloon Payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other collateral or instrument securing the Mortgage Loan, Condemnation Proceeds, or Insurance Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents), shall be applied by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its designee) to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis; provided, that (x) all amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Mortgage Loan Documents to be held as reserves or escrows or received as reimbursements on account of recoveries in respect of property protection expenses or Servicing Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Trustee or any Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall be applied to

-21-

the extent set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Mortgage Loan Documents; and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable to any Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and any other additional compensation payable to it thereunder (including without limitation, any additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan (but subject to the second paragraph of Section 5(d) hereof) reimbursable to, or payable by, such parties and any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Workout Fees, Penalty Charges (to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph), but excluding (i) any P&I Advances (and interest thereon) on the Lead Securitization Note, which shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, and (ii) any Servicing Fees due to the Master Servicer in excess of each Non-Lead Securitization Note’s pro rata share of that portion of such servicing fees calculated at the “primary servicing fee rate” applicable to the Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, which such excess shall not be subject to the allocation provisions of this Section 3) shall be payable in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

For clarification purposes, Penalty Charges (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) paid on each Note shall first, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Servicing Advances and reimbursement of any Servicing Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, second, be used to reduce the respective amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, any Non-Lead Master Servicer or any Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, for any interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to such Note by such party (if and as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or applicable Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable), third, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (other than Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and finally, to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation, as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of each Note as described in Section 3.

Section 5.Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

-22-

(a)Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on its behalf) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any right to, and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has to, (i) call, or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call, an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing, or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file, any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on its behalf) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so).

Each Note Holder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder), upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing. Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan shall be determined by the Special Servicer (unless the offeror is an Interested Person, in which case the Trustee shall make such determination); provided, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least one bona fide other offer is received from an independent third party. In determining whether any offer received represents a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement within the preceding nine (9)-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The Trustee shall select the appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal. In determining whether any such offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall instruct the appraiser to take into account (in

-23-

addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Holders in connection with making such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder unless the Special Servicer has delivered to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicer Mortgage File requested by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. Subject to the foregoing, each Note Holder or its Note Holder Representative shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Mortgage Loan.

Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of its Note. Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver any related original documentation evidencing its Note (endorsed in blank if necessary) to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell any Non-Lead Securitization Note, and the obligations of any other Note Holder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the related Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the holder of such Lead Securitization Note that sold such Lead Securitization Note into such Securitization from the trust fund established under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The

-24-

preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the holder of the Lead Securitization Note that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Person under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Person in connection with the Lead Securitization.

(b)The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan (or to the extent otherwise provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of each Note Holder. The Note Holders agree to be bound by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to the extent set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that may adversely affect any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in its capacity as Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder without such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s prior written consent. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless it is, or is an Affiliate of, the Mortgage Loan Borrower) shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to its rights as specifically provided for therein.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall (i) provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its Note Holder Representative), within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) use reasonable efforts to consult each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration

-25-

of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), whether or not such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) may take any Major Decision or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by a Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to annual meetings (which may be held telephonically) with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf), upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

(d)If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Note Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata share of each Note Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Note Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the

-26-

Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC which includes the Notes (or any portion thereof). Each Note Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan.

Anything herein or in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if one of the Notes is included in a REMIC and another is not, such other Note Holder shall not be required to reimburse such Note Holder or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to any other Note Holder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

Section 6.Note Holder Representatives.

(a)The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person, including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower, any manager of a Mortgaged Property or any principal or Affiliate thereof). No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. Any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified such Servicer or Trustee of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides any Servicer or Trustee with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address and telecopy number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and telecopy numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer. None of the Servicers, Operating Advisor and Trustee shall be required to recognize any person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until they receive such information from the Controlling Note Holder. The Controlling Note Holder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Note Holder Representative.

-27-

Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will have any liability to any other Note Holder or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over any other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Note Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall provide notice of its identity and contact information (including any change thereof) to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization; provided, that each Initial Note Holder shall be deemed to have provided such notice on the date hereof. The Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such identity and contact information received by it and shall not be liable in respect of any deliveries hereunder sent in reliance thereon.

Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (with respect to such Note Holder, the “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to the Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 6(a) (except those contained in the last sentence thereof) and the second paragraph of this Section 6(a) shall apply to each Non-Controlling Note Holder and its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative mutatis mutandis.

For so long as the Lead Securitization Note is included in the Lead Securitization, the “Directing Certificateholder” under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or any other party designated under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to

-28-

exercise the rights of the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) shall be the Controlling Note Holder Representative.

Section 7.Appointment of Special Servicer. The Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have the right (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to each other Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each other party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and delivering a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency (or obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency, but only if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement). The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects any Non-Controlling Note Holder, such Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at a Non-Controlling Note Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of such Non-Controlling Note Holder. Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for reimbursing the Trustee’s or the Controlling Note Holder’s, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Lead Securitization’s “collection account”.

Section 8.Payment Procedure.

(a)The Lead Securitization Note Holder, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account and/or related Companion Distribution Account (each as defined in the Lead

-29-

Securitization Servicing Agreement) pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such payments to the applicable account within one Business Day of receipt of properly identified and available funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower (provided, that to the extent that any payment is received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such payments into the applicable account within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such properly identified and available funds but, in any event, the Master Servicer is required to deposit such payments into the applicable account within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such properly identified and available funds).

(b)If the Lead Securitization Note Holder determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to any Note Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have theretofore distributed to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder makes any payment to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(d)Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder, subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. Such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

-30-

Section 9.       Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders. No Note Holder shall have any liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder; provided, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, each Servicer will nevertheless be subject to the obligations and standards (including the Servicing Standard) set forth in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement.

The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, that each Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 10.Bankruptcy. Subject to Section 5(c), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and not any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Note Holders hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by any Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

-31-

Section 11.Representations of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, (b) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Section 12.No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no obligation whatsoever to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates and if the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the Lead Securitization Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates.

Section 13.Other Business Activities of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder acknowledges that each other Note Holder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

Section 14.Sale of the Notes.

(a)Each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its respective Note (or a participation interest in such Note) (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Promptly after any such Transfer, any non-transferring Note Holders shall be provided with (x) a representation from each transferee or the transferring Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer in accordance with the immediately following sentence or a Transfer by a Note Holder to an entity that constitutes a Qualified Institutional Lender pursuant to clause (c)(iii) of the definition thereof) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first (a) obtain the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder and (b) if any such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, provide each of the applicable engaged Rating Agencies for such Securitization Trust with a Rating Agency Communication (or, if the transferring Note Holder is the Lead Securitization Note Holder, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the applicable Rating Agencies for such Securitization Trust). Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if any non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, until a Rating Agency Communication is provided to each engaged Rating Agency for such Securitization Trust, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it shall pay the expenses of any non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and any Controlling Note Holder or Controlling Note Holder Representative) and all expenses relating to any Rating Agency Communication in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of any other Note Holder or of any other Person or having to provide any Rating Agency Communication or having to obtain any Rating Agency Confirmation, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of the Lead Securitization Note together with all of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

(b)In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue

-33-

to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each applicable Rating Agency (or, if not rated by an applicable Rating Agency, an equivalent (or higher) rating from any two of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P) (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to each other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to each other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Note Holder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Note Holder and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and

-34-

this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

(d)Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

(ii)The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;

(iii)Such Note Holder pledges its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

(iv)The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

(v)Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

Section 15.Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form

-35-

of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of each other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and each other Note Holder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 16.Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

-36-

(b)CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c)AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

(d)AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 18.Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Note Holder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Note Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency; provided that no such Rating Agency Communication shall be required in connection with a modification (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (ii) with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, to make provisions of this Agreement consistent with other provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the creation of New Notes pursuant to Section 32).

Section 19.Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided herein, including without limitation, with respect to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer and Special Servicer and any Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto. Subject to Section 14 and Section 15, each Note Holder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Note Holder hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the representations in Section 11 shall not be binding upon any Securitization Trust.

Section 20.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 21.Captions. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

Section 22.Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 23.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

Section 24.Withholding Taxes. (a)(a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, such Lead Securitization Note Holder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.

(b)Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Note Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Note Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Note Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) such Note Holder, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

-38-

Section 30.Reserved.

Section 31.Resignation of Agent. The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. MSBNA, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time

-41-

without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of MSBNA without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of the Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement, and any successor master servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place thereof without any further notice or other action.

Section 32.Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as MSMCH or an affiliate thereof (an “MSMCH Entity”) is the owner of any Non-Lead Securitization Note (each, an “Owned Note”), such MSMCH Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in each case, as applicable, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of an Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing an Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of such Owned Note provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of such Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii) all Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the MSMCH Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts, and (v) the execution of such amendments and New Notes does not violate the Servicing Standard. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the MSMCH Entity holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed in Section 5), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holder of each other Note. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above are satisfied, with respect to clauses (i) through (iv), as certified by the MSMCH Entity, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal. If more than one New Note is created hereunder, for purposes of exercising the rights of a Controlling Note Holder or Non-Controlling Note Holder hereunder, the “Controlling Note Holder” or “Non-Controlling Note Holder”, as applicable, shall be as provided in the definitions of such terms in this Agreement; provided that the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to designate any New Note created from the existing Controlling Note to be a Non-Controlling Note hereunder.

If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable (with respect to the Lead Securitization Note) or a Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note), determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be non-recoverable or an outstanding P&I Advance is or would be non-

-17-

recoverable, or if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would be non-recoverable or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be non-recoverable, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee) or such Non-Lead Master Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee (as provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of the a determination of non-recoverability by a Non-Lead Master Servicer, a Non-Lead Special Servicer or a Non-Lead Trustee) shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee, or the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Trustee, as the case may be, of such other Securitization within two Business Days of making such determination. Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee, any Non-Lead Master Servicer and any Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, shall only be entitled to reimbursement for a P&I Advance that becomes non-recoverable first from the related Companion Distribution Account from amounts allocable to the Note for which such P&I Advance was made, and then, if such funds are insufficient, (i) in the case of the Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the Lead Securitization Trust, pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of a Non-Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the related Securitization Trust, as and to the extent provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(c)          Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, if its Non-Lead Securitization Note is included in a Securitization, shall cause the applicable Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to contain provisions to the effect that:

(i)           such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances (and interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and any additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the Notes, including without limitation, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees relating to the Notes, and that if the funds received with respect to each respective Note are insufficient to cover such Servicing Advances or additional trust fund expenses, (x) the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of any such Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances (and interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and/or additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan, and (y) if the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement permits the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor to reimburse itself from the Lead Securitization Trust’s general collections, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, may do so and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Lead Securitization Trust out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent

-18-

account) established under such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of any such Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances (and interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and/or additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan;

(ii)          each of the Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of such Indemnified Parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) by the Securitization Trust holding such Non-Lead Securitization Note, against any of the Indemnified Items to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the related “Companion Distribution Account” are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;

(iii)         the related Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Certificate Administrator or Non-Lead Trustee will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer (x) promptly following Securitization of such Non-Lead Securitization Note, notice of the deposit of such Non-Lead Securitization Note into a Securitization Trust (which notice shall also provide contact information for the related Non-Lead Trustee, certificate administrator, Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under this Agreement), accompanied by a certified copy of the executed Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (y) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note under this Agreement (together with the relevant contact information); and

(iv)         the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and the Lead Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions.

(d)          If a Non-Lead Securitization Note becomes the subject of an Asset Review pursuant to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer or any other party to such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with such Asset Review by providing the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably requested by the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party, but only to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be.

(e)          Prior to the Securitization of any Note (including any New Note), all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to a Note Holder

-19-

pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) only need to be delivered to the related Note Holder (or its Note Holder Representative) and, when so delivered to such Note Holder (or Note Holder Representative, as applicable), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Following the Securitization of any Note (including any New Note), as applicable, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to a Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be delivered to the master servicer and the special servicer with respect to such Securitization (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to such master servicer and the special servicer, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(f)           In addition to the foregoing, each Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain terms and conditions that are customary for securitization transactions involving assets similar to the Mortgage Loan and that are otherwise (i) required by the Code relating to the tax elections of the trust fund formed pursuant to such Securitization Servicing Agreement, (ii) required by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation or (iii) requested by the Rating Agencies rating the related Securitization. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to designate the Non-Lead Master Servicer and Non-Lead Special Servicer with respect to the Securitization related to its Note, as long as each such Servicer satisfies the conditions to be the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Without limiting the generality of any provision set forth above, for purposes of the Mortgage Loan, each Securitization Servicing Agreement (other than the Note A-2 PSA) shall contain (a) provisions requiring the related master servicer and the related special servicer to maintain, or subjecting them to possible termination for not maintaining, compliance with customary servicer rating criteria (but the rating agencies need not be the same) and (b) provisions substantially similar in all material respects to or materially consistent with those set forth in the MSBAM 2017-C33 Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to (i) periodic reporting and periodic delivery of service provider compliance documents under Regulation AB (and, in any event, each Securitization Servicing Agreement shall require such reporting and delivery so long as the Lead Securitization Trust is required to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), (ii) servicing transfer events that would result in the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to special servicing status, (iii) the authority of the Controlling Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on its behalf) to grant or agree or consent to material modifications, waivers and amendments to the Mortgage Loan, or to approve material assignments and assumptions or material additional indebtedness in connection with the Mortgage Loan, (iv) the potential termination of the related master servicer and special servicer following a servicer termination event, (v) requirements to obtain an appraisal or appraisal update following a transfer of the Mortgage Loan to special servicing status and periodic updates thereof, (vi) duties of the special servicer in respect of foreclosure and the management of REO property, (vii) payments on serviced companion loans (provided, that the Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization

-20-

Servicing Agreement shall remit amounts payable on any serviced companion loan on or before the business day following the determination date under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement governing the securitization of such serviced companion loan (if any)), (viii) primary servicing, special servicing, workout and liquidation fees (and, in any event, the fees at which such compensation accrue or are determined shall not exceed 0.0025%, 0.25%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively (without regard to any monthly fee floor)) and (ix) indemnification of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, certificate administrator, Trustee and Operating Advisor under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, to the extent such parties are identified as indemnified parties in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in respect of other mortgage loans) against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to the related operating advisor, incurred in connection with the provision of services for the Mortgage Loan) to the same extent that the Indemnified Parties are indemnified under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement against the Indemnified Items; provided, that (A) this statement shall not be construed to prohibit differences in timing, control or consultation triggers or thresholds, terminology, allocation of ministerial duties between multiple servicers or other service providers or certificateholder or investor voting or consent thresholds, or to prohibit or restrict additional approval, consent, consultation, notice or rating agency confirmation requirements; and (B) if there is any conflict between this sentence and any other provision of this Agreement, such other provision of this Agreement shall control.

(g)          The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to contain provisions requiring the Master Servicer to deliver to any Non-Lead Master Servicer, any Non-Lead Special Servicer and any Non-Lead Trustee (i) notice of any Appraisal Event promptly following the occurrence thereof and (ii) a statement of any Appraisal Reduction promptly following the calculation thereof.

Section 3.          Priority of Payments.   Each Note shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any portion of any other Note or security therefor. All amounts tendered by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or otherwise available for payment on or with respect to or in connection with the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property or amounts realized as proceeds thereof, whether received in the form of Scheduled Payments, the Balloon Payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other collateral or instrument securing the Mortgage Loan, Condemnation Proceeds, or Insurance Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents), shall be applied by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its designee) to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis; provided, that (x) all amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Mortgage Loan Documents to be held as reserves or escrows or received as reimbursements on account of recoveries in respect of property protection expenses or Servicing Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Trustee or any Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall be applied to the extent set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Mortgage Loan Documents; and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable to any Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and any other additional compensation payable to it thereunder (including without limitation, any additional trust fund expenses under the Lead

-21-

Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan (but subject to the second paragraph of Section 5(d) hereof) reimbursable to, or payable by, such parties and any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Workout Fees, Penalty Charges (to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph), but excluding (i) any P&I Advances (and interest thereon) on the Lead Securitization Note, which shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, and (ii) any Servicing Fees due to the Master Servicer in excess of each Non-Lead Securitization Note’s pro rata share of that portion of such servicing fees calculated at the “primary servicing fee rate” applicable to the Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, which such excess shall not be subject to the allocation provisions of this Section 3) shall be payable in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

For clarification purposes, Penalty Charges (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) paid on each Note shall first, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Servicing Advances and reimbursement of any Servicing Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, second, be used to reduce the respective amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, any Non-Lead Master Servicer or any Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, for any interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to such Note by such party (if and as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or applicable Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable), third, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (other than Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and finally, with respect to any remaining amount of Penalty Charges, pro rata, to the Lead Securitization Note (to be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and to each Non-Lead Securitization Note (to be paid, (x) prior to the securitization of such Note, to the related Note Holder and (y) following the securitization of such Note, to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement).

Section 4.           Workout.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of each Note as described in Section 3.

Section 5.            Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)          Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where

-22-

required, of the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on its behalf) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any right to, and the Note A-1 Holder hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Note A-2 Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has from and after the Note A-2 Securitization Date and prior to the Note A-1 Securitization Date to, and the Note A-2 Holder hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Note A-1 Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has from and after the Note A-1 Securitization Date to, (i) call, or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call, an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing, or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file, any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on its behalf) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so).

Each Note Holder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder), upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing. Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan shall be determined by the Special Servicer (unless the offeror is an Interested Person, in which case the Trustee shall make such determination); provided, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least one bona fide other offer is received from an independent third party. In determining whether any offer received represents a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement within the preceding nine (9)-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The Trustee shall select the appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal. In determining whether any such offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as applicable,

-23-

shall instruct the appraiser to take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Holders in connection with making such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder unless the Special Servicer has delivered to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicer Mortgage File requested by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. Subject to the foregoing, each Note Holder or its Note Holder Representative shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Mortgage Loan.

Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of its Note. Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver any related original documentation evidencing its Note (endorsed in blank if necessary) to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell any Non-Lead Securitization Note, and the obligations of any other Note Holder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the related Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the holder of such Lead Securitization Note that sold such Lead Securitization Note into such Securitization from the trust fund established under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the benefit of any

-24-

representation or warranty made by the holder of the Lead Securitization Note that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Person under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Person in connection with the Lead Securitization.

(b)          The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan (or to the extent otherwise provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of each Note Holder. The Note Holders agree to be bound by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to the extent set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that may adversely affect any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in its capacity as Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder without such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s prior written consent. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless it is, or is an Affiliate of, the Mortgage Loan Borrower) shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to its rights as specifically provided for therein.

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall (i) provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its Note Holder Representative), within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) use reasonable efforts to consult each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) of written notice of a proposed action, together with

-25-

copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), whether or not such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) may take any Major Decision or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by a Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to annual meetings (which may be held telephonically) with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf), upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

(d)          If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Note Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata share of each Note Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Note Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC which includes the Notes (or any portion thereof). Each Note Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan.

-26-

Anything herein or in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if one of the Notes is included in a REMIC and another is not, such other Note Holder shall not be required to reimburse such Note Holder or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to any other Note Holder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

Section 6.            Note Holder Representatives.

(a)          The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person, including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower, any manager of a Mortgaged Property or any principal or Affiliate thereof). No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. Any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified such Servicer or Trustee of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides any Servicer or Trustee with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address and telecopy number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and telecopy numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer. None of the Servicers, Operating Advisor and Trustee shall be required to recognize any person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until they receive such information from the Controlling Note Holder. The Controlling Note Holder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Note Holder Representative.

Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will have any liability to any other Note Holder or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder

-27-

Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over any other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Note Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall provide notice of its identity and contact information (including any change thereof) to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization; provided, that each Initial Note Holder shall be deemed to have provided such notice on the date hereof. The Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such identity and contact information received by it and shall not be liable in respect of any deliveries hereunder sent in reliance thereon.

Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (with respect to such Note Holder, the “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to the Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 6(a) (except those contained in the last sentence thereof) and the second paragraph of this Section 6(a) shall apply to each Non-Controlling Note Holder and its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative mutatis mutandis.

For so long as the Lead Securitization Note is included in the Lead Securitization, the “Directing Certificateholder” under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or any other party designated under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to exercise the rights of the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) shall be the Controlling Note Holder Representative.

(b)          The Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Controlling Note hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder with respect to the Mortgage Loan (assuming that a “Control Termination Event” or similar event under, and as defined in, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement has not occurred and is not continuing). In addition, the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to the Mortgage Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan and (2) the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to all Major Decisions, and, except as set forth below the Master Servicer

-28-

and the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to implement or consent to any Major Decision as to which the Controlling Note Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Decision. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall seek the consent of the Controlling Note Holder with respect to any Major Decision to the same extent that it is responsible under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for seeking the consent of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Major Decision with respect to any other mortgage loan serviced thereunder (assuming that a “Control Termination Event” or similar event under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement has not occurred and is not continuing). The Controlling Note Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Controlling Note Holder may deem advisable.

If the Controlling Note Holder fails to notify the applicable Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after delivery to the Controlling Note Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Decision (which notice shall contain a legend, in conspicuous boldface type, substantially similar to the following: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR ACTION APPROVAL. IF THE CONTROLLING NOTE HOLDER FAILS TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THE ENCLOSED ACTION WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, SUCH ACTION MAY BE DEEMED APPROVED”) together with any information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period (or thirty (30) days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default), such Major Decision shall be deemed to have been approved by the Controlling Note Holder.

In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Note Holder is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders (as a collective whole) and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Note Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Note Holder’s response.

No objection, direction, consent or advice contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC provisions of the Code or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 7.            Appointment of Special Servicer.    The Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have the right (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) at any time and from time to time,

-29-

with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to each other Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each other party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Communication or a Rating Agency Confirmation, but only if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), if any. The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects any Non-Controlling Note Holder, such Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at a Non-Controlling Note Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of such Non-Controlling Note Holder. Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for reimbursing the Trustee’s or the Controlling Note Holder’s, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Lead Securitization’s “collection account”.

Section 8.            Payment Procedure.

(a)          The Lead Securitization Note Holder, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account and/or related Companion Distribution Account (each as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such payments to the applicable account within one Business Day of receipt of properly identified and available funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower (provided, that to the extent that any payment is received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such payments into the applicable account within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such properly

-30-

identified and available funds but, in any event, the Master Servicer is required to deposit such payments into the applicable account within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such properly identified and available funds).

(b)          If the Lead Securitization Note Holder determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to any Note Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have theretofore distributed to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)          If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder makes any payment to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(d)          Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder, subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. Such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9.           Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders.    No Note Holder shall have any liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder; provided, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, each Servicer will nevertheless be subject to the obligations and standards (including the Servicing Standard) set forth in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement.

The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization

-31-

Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, that each Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 10.          Bankruptcy.     Subject to Section 5(c), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and not any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Note Holders hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by any Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 11.          Representations of the Note Holders.    Each Note Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry

-32-

on its business. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, (b) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Section 12.         No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right.    Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no obligation whatsoever to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates and if the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the Lead Securitization Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates.

Section 13.         Other Business Activities of the Note Holders.    Each Note Holder acknowledges that each other Note Holder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

Section 14.          Sale of the Notes.

(a)          Each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its respective Note (or a participation interest in such Note) (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Promptly after any such Transfer, any non-transferring Note Holders shall be provided with (x) a representation from each transferee or the transferring Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer in accordance with the immediately following sentence or a Transfer by a Note Holder to an entity that constitutes a Qualified Institutional Lender pursuant to clause (c)(iii) of the definition thereof) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first (a) obtain the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder and (b) if any

-33-

such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, provide each of the applicable engaged Rating Agencies for such Securitization Trust with a Rating Agency Communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if any non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, until a Rating Agency Communication is provided to each engaged Rating Agency for such Securitization Trust, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it shall pay the expenses of any non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and any Controlling Note Holder or Controlling Note Holder Representative) and all expenses relating to any Rating Agency Communication in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of any other Note Holder or of any other Person or having to provide any Rating Agency Communication, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of the Lead Securitization Note together with all of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

(b)          In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.

(c)          Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each applicable Rating Agency (or, if not rated by an applicable Rating Agency, an equivalent (or higher) rating from any two of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P) (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to each other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other

-34-

Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to each other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Note Holder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Note Holder and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

(d)          Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

-35-

(i)           The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

(ii)          The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;

(iii)         Such Note Holder pledges its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

(iv)         The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

(v)          Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

Section 15.          Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder.     The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of each other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and each other Note Holder against any

-36-

liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 16.         Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.     THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 17.          Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers.     Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a)          SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

(b)          CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c)          AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

(d)          AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 18.         Modifications.    This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Note Holder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Note Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first delivering a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency;

-37-

-40-

any information relating to such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its Note in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that in connection with any Securitization, the information provided by it in its capacity as a Non-Securitizing Note Holder to the related Securitizing Note Holder may be incorporated into the offering documents for such Securitization. Each Securitizing Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, each Non-Securitizing Note Holder. The Securitizing Note Holder shall reasonably cooperate with each Non-Securitizing Note Holder by providing all information reasonably requested that is in the Securitizing Note Holder’s possession in connection with such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s preparation of disclosure materials in connection with a Securitization.

Upon request, each Securitizing Note Holder shall deliver to each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder drafts of the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the pooling and servicing agreement for the Securitization of such Securitizing Note Holder’s Note and provide reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents.

(c)          The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any Note Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

(d)          The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Act, shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by the Agent to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

-41-

(e)          The Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 15;

Section 30.          Reserved.

Section 31.         Resignation of Agent.    The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. MSBNA, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the applicable Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of the prior Agent without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of the Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement, and any successor master servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place thereof without any further notice or other action.

Section 32.          Resizing.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as MSMCH or an affiliate thereof (an “MSMCH Entity”) is the owner of any Non-Lead Securitization Note (each, an “Owned Note”), such MSMCH Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in each case, as applicable, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of an Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing an Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of such Owned Note provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of such Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii) all Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the MSMCH Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts, and (v) the execution of such amendments and New Notes does not violate the Servicing Standard. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the MSMCH Entity holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of

-42-

this Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed in Section 5), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holder of each other Note. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above are satisfied, with respect to clauses (i) through (iv), as certified by the MSMCH Entity, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal. If more than one New Note is created hereunder, for purposes of exercising the rights of a Controlling Note Holder or Non-Controlling Note Holder hereunder, the “Controlling Note Holder” or “Non-Controlling Note Holder”, as applicable, shall be as provided in the definitions of such terms in this Agreement; provided that the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to designate any New Note created from the existing Controlling Note to be a Non-Controlling Note hereunder.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for accrued and unpaid interest on a Servicing Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, in the manner and from the sources provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, including from general collections of the Lead Securitization.

Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall indemnify (i) (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of the following parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Senior Trust Advisor (if and to the extent it has responsibilities with respect to the Non-Lead Securitization Notes) and the Depositor (and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, to the extent such parties are identified as indemnified parties in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in respect of other mortgage loans) and (ii) the Lead Securitization Trust (such parties in clause (i) and the Lead Securitization Trust, collectively, (the “Indemnified Parties”) against any claims, losses,

penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property (or, with respect to the Senior Trust Advisor, incurred in connection with the provision of services for the Mortgage Loan) under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Items”) to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the “Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account” are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its pro rata share of the insufficiency (including, if a Non-Lead Securitization Note has been included in a Non-Lead Securitization, from general collections or any other amounts from such Non-Lead Securitization Trust).

The applicable master servicer under any Non-Lead Securitization (the “Non-Lead Master Servicer”) may be required to make P&I Advances on the related Non-Lead Securitization Note, from time to time, subject to the terms of the servicing agreement for the related Securitization (the “Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement”), the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall each be entitled to make its own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Non-Lead Master Servicer and the applicable special servicer and the trustee under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (respectively, the “Non-Lead Special Servicer” and the “Non-Lead Trustee”), as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the related Non-Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee shall be required to notify the other of the amount of its P&I Advance within two business days of making such advance. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable (with respect to the Lead Securitization Note) or a Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or a Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note), determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be non-recoverable or an outstanding P&I Advance is or would be non-recoverable, or if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would be non-recoverable or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be non-recoverable, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee) or the related Non-Lead Master Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee (as provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the related Non-Lead Master Servicer, the related Non-Lead Special Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee) shall notify the related Master Servicer and the related Trustee, or the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as the case may be, of the other Securitization promptly upon making such determination. Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee will only be entitled to reimbursement for a P&I Advance made with respect to the Lead Securitization Note and advance interest thereon that becomes non-recoverable first from the Certificate Account

17 

from amounts allocable to the Lead Securitization Note, and then, if funds are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization Trust, pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each of a Non-Lead Master Servicer and a Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, will only be entitled to reimbursement for a P&I Advance made with respect to the Non-Lead Securitization Note and advance interest thereon that becomes non-recoverable from general collections of the related Non-Lead Securitization Trust, as and to the extent provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(c)          Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees that, if the related Non-Lead Securitization Note is included in a Securitization, it shall cause the applicable Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to contain provisions to the effect that:

(i)          such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances (and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) and any additional Trust Fund expenses (but not any interest on P&I Advances), but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the Notes and the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees relating to the Notes, and that in the event that the funds received with respect to each respective Note are insufficient to cover such Servicing Advances or additional trust fund expenses, (A) the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, or the Lead Securitization Trust, as applicable, out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of any such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances (together with advance interest thereon) and/or additional trust fund expenses (including compensation due to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the extent related to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property), and (B) if the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement permits the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to reimburse itself from the Lead Securitization Trust’s general collections, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may do so, and the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reimburse the Lead Securitization Trust out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of any such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances (together with advance interest thereon) and/or additional trust fund expenses (including compensation due to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the extent related to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property);

(ii)          each of the Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of such Indemnified Parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) by the Securitization Trust holding the Non-Lead Securitization Note, against any of the Indemnified Items to the

18 

extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, from amounts on deposit in the “Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account”, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the “Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account” are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;

(iii)          the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Senior Trust Advisor (i) promptly following Securitization of the Non-Lead Securitization Note, notice of the deposit of the Non-Lead Securitization Note into a Securitization Trust (which notice shall also provide contact information for the Non-Lead Trustee, the certificate administrator, the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under this Agreement), accompanied by a copy of the executed Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under this Agreement (together with the relevant contact information); and

(iv)          the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Lead Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions.

(d)          Prior to Securitization of a Non-Lead Securitization Note (including any New Notes), all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or the related Non-Controlling Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) only need to be delivered to the related Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative and, when so delivered to such Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Following Securitization of a Non-Lead Securitization Note, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or the related Non-Controlling Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be delivered to the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Special Servicer, the related certificate administrator and the related Non-Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to such Non-Lead Master Servicer, such Non-Lead Special Servicer, the related certificate administrator and the related Non-Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied

19 

its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, until such time as the Lead Securitization Note is placed into the Lead Securitization, the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced, including reporting and remittance, pursuant to the Non-Lead Securitization Agreement. After such time as the Lead Securitization Note is placed into the Lead Securitization all servicing shall be done pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.          Priority of Payments. Each Note shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any portion of any other Note or security therefor. All amounts tendered by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or otherwise available for payment on or with respect to or in connection with the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property or amounts realized as proceeds thereof, whether received in the form of Monthly Payments, the Balloon Payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other collateral or instrument securing the Mortgage Loan, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents), but excluding (x) all amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Mortgage Loan Documents (to the extent, in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents) to be held as reserves or escrows or received as reimbursements on account of recoveries in respect of property protection expenses or Servicing Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Trustee or any Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable (except for (i) any reimbursement of P&I Advances (and interest thereon) made with respect to any Note which may only be reimbursed out of payments and collections allocable to such Note and (ii) any Servicing Fees due to the Master Servicer in excess of that portion of such Servicing Fees calculated at the Servicing Fee Rate applicable to the Non-Lead Securitization Note as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement which excess may only be paid out of payments and collections allocable to the Lead Securitization Note) to any Servicer, with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including without limitation, any additional Trust Fund expenses (other than interest on P&I Advances) relating to the Mortgage Loan (but subject to second paragraph of Section 5(d) hereof) reimbursable to, or payable by, such parties and any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Workout Fees, Penalty Charges (to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph) and any other additional compensation payable pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), shall be applied by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its designee) to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

For clarification purposes, Penalty Charges (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) paid on each Note shall first, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Servicing Advances and reimbursement of any Servicing Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, second, be used to reduce the respective amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, a Non-Lead Master Servicer or a Non-Lead Trustee for any interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to such Note by

20 

such party (if and as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or a Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable), third, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay additional trust fund expenses (other than Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and finally, (i) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable to the Lead Securitization Note, be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable to a Non-Lead Securitization Note, be paid, (x) prior to the securitization of such Note, to the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and (y) following the securitization of such Note, to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.          Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of each Note as described in Section 3.

Section 5.          Administration of the Mortgage Loan. 

(a)          Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing

21 

the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so).

Each Note Holder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder), upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and the determination by the Special Servicer to sell the Lead Securitization Note in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Certificate Administrator or Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in writing and be accompanied by a refundable deposit of cash in an amount equal to 5% of the offer amount (subject to a cap of $2,500,000). The Trustee (based upon updated Appraisals ordered by the Special Servicer and received by the Trustee (or ordered by the Trustee if the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates is an Interested Person)) shall determine the fair price for the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (in the manner set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) if the highest offeror is an Interested Person, and any such determination by the Trustee shall be binding upon all parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (provided that such consent is not required if the related Non-Controlling Note is held by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to each Non-Controlling Note Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by a Non-Controlling Note Holder that are material to the price of the Mortgage Loan and (d) until the sale is completed and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, however, that any Non-Controlling Note Holder may waive any delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence only for itself. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Non-Controlling Note Holders and the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representatives shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Mortgage Loan unless such Person is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

22 

The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the related original Non-Lead Securitization Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, and the obligations of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Securitization Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the Initial Note A-1 Holder from the trust fund established under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by the Initial Note A-1 Holder with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by the Initial Note A-1 Holder with respect to Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the Initial Note A-1 Holder or any document delivery obligation imposed on the Initial Note A-1 Holder under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by the Initial Note A-1 Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization.

(b)          The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or to the extent otherwise provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard taking into account the interests of each of the Note Holders as a collective whole. The Note Holders agree to be bound by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and/or the Trustee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that may adversely affect any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in its capacity as a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder without such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s prior written consent. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless it is the same Person as or an Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) shall be a third-party

23 

beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to its rights as specifically provided for therein.

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, to each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to consult with each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), whether or not such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

24 

In addition to the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, at the discretion of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed; provided that such Non-Controlling Note Holder, at the request of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall execute a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to it, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(d)          If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Note Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata share of each Note Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Note Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC which includes any of the Notes (or any portion thereof). Each Note Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by the compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan.

Anything herein or in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if one of the Notes is included in a REMIC and the other is not, such other Note Holder shall not be required to reimburse such Note Holder or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to the other Note Holder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

Section 6.          Appointment of Controlling Note Holder Representative and Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative.

25 

(a)          The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower, its principal or any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower), including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any Affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. Any Servicer, Senior Trust Advisor, Trustee or Certificate Administrator acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified the Servicer, Senior Trust Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides any Servicer, Senior Trust Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address and telecopy number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and telecopy numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer, Senior Trust Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator. So long as no Consultation Termination Event (including any such deemed event) is in effect, pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder Representative shall be the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative.

(b)          Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will have any liability to the other Note Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Note Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder or any of their respective officers,

26 

directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

(c)          Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (a “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in Section 6(a) (except those contained in the last sentence thereof) and Section 6(b) shall apply to each Non-Controlling Note Holder and any related Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative mutatis mutandis.

(d)          The Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the “Directing Certificateholder” or similar party under, and as defined in, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to a “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and, except as set forth below (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to implement any Major Decision unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s implementing any Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to implement any Major Decision as to which, the Controlling Note Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Decision. The Controlling Note Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Controlling Note Holder may deem advisable.

If the Controlling Note Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default) after delivery to the Controlling Note Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Decision (which notice shall contain a legend, in conspicuous boldface type, substantially similar to the following: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR ACTION APPROVAL. IF THE CONTROLLING NOTE HOLDER FAILS TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THE ENCLOSED ACTION WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS (OR, IN CONNECTION WITH AN ACCEPTABLE INSURANCE DEFAULT, THIRTY (30) DAYS), SUCH ACTION MAY BE DEEMED APPROVED”) together with any information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a

27 

judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period (or, in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) day period), such Major Decision shall be deemed to have been approved by the Controlling Note Holder.

In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Note Holder is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders (as a collective whole) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Note Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Note Holder’s response.

No objection, direction, consent, advice or consultation contemplated by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 6(d) or elsewhere in this Agreement may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, this Agreement or the REMIC provisions of the Code, be inconsistent with the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard or materially expand the scope of responsibilities of any of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. The Controlling Note Holder shall have no liability to the other Note Holders or any other party for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holders, and that the Controlling Note Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Note Holder and, absent willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that the Controlling Note Holder shall not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

Section 7.     Appointment of Special Servicer.    Subject to the terms of, and conditions and requirements set forth in, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to the other Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the then existing Special Servicer and other parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including,

28 

without limitation, a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and delivering to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any rated securities issued in a Non-Lead Securitization, in each case if applicable. The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects a Non-Controlling Note Holder, such Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the successor servicing agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Loan is being serviced) solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the successor servicing agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Loan is being serviced). The Controlling Note Holder and the Non-Controlling Note Holders acknowledge and agree that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at a Non-Controlling Note Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of such Non-Controlling Note Holder. The Non-Controlling Note Holder that directs the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer shall be solely responsible for reimbursing the Trustee’s or the Controlling Note Holder’s, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Section 8.     Payment Procedure.

(a)          The Lead Securitization Note Holder, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes into the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that all amounts on deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account on a Remittance Date allocable under this Agreement to a Non-

29 

Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be deposited or credited on the Remittance Date for such Non-Lead Securitization by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(b)          If the Lead Securitization Note Holder determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have theretofore distributed to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)          If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder makes any payment to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(d)          Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder, subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. Such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9.     Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders.    Each Note Holder shall have no liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder.

The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a

30 

manner that may be adverse to the interests of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that the Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the express terms of this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Section 10.     Bankruptcy.    Subject to Section 5(c), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and not the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Note Holders hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by the Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 11.     Representations of the Note Holders.    Each Note Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it

31 

is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, (b) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Section 12.     No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right.    Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates and if any Note Holder chooses to offer to any other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates.

Section 13.     Other Business Activities of the Note Holders.    Each Note Holder acknowledges that the other Note Holder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

Section 14.     Sale of the Notes.

(a)          Except with the consents contemplated by the second following sentence, each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its respective Note (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender. Promptly after the Transfer, each non-transferring Note Holder shall be provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the applicable Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first obtain the written consent of each non-transferring Note Holder or, if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the applicable engaged Rating Agencies for such Securitization Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note

32 

Holder’s prior written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, without a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the applicable engaged Rating Agencies for such Securitization, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it shall pay the expenses of each non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee) and all expenses relating to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation and without the need to obtain the consent of the other Note Holders or any other Person, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of all of the Notes together, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

(b)          In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.

(c)          Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (or, if not rated by an applicable Rating Agency, an equivalent (or higher) rating from any two of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P) (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to any other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), such other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has

33 

actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to any other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the other Note Holders and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Note Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

(d)          Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)           The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

34 

(ii)          The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;

(iii)          Such Note Holder pledges its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

(iv)         The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

(v)          Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

Section 15.     Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder.    The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Note Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and the other Note Holders against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b)          CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c)          AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

(d)          AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 18.     Modifications.    This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Note Holder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Note Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating any securities of any Securitization (subject to the provisions of each Securitization Servicing Agreement addressing non-responsive Rating Agencies); provided that

36 

no such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required in connection with a modification (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (ii) to make other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or (iii) if and to the extent the it would be deemed given or not required pursuant to the definition of Rating Agency Confirmation in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and/or any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

Section 19.     Statement of Intent.    The Agent and each Initial Note Holder intend that the Notes be classified and maintained as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code that is a fixed investment trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §301.7701-4(c), and the parties will not take any action inconsistent with such classification. It is neither the purpose nor the intent of this Agreement to create a partnership, joint venture, “taxable mortgage pool” or association taxable as a corporation among the parties.

Section 20.     Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries.    This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided herein, including without limitation, with respect to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer and Special Servicer and any Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto. Subject to Section 14 and Section 15, each Note Holder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Note Holder hereunder.

Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

Section 25.     Withholding Taxes.    (a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Note Holder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.

(b)          Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(c)          Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder represents to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or Servicer, as applicable and upon written request, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that such Note Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the

38 

District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Note Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Note Holder, as evidence of such Note Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note or otherwise until the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Note Holder the above required forms, certificates, statements or documents.

Section 26.     Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents.    The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Non-Lead Securitization Notes) (a) prior to the Lead Securitization will be held by the Initial Agent and (b) after the Lead Securitization, will be held by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (in the name of the Trustee and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), in each case, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes.

Section 27.     Cooperation in Securitization.

(a)          Each Note Holder acknowledges that any Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization and subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, at the request of the related Securitizing Note Holder, each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at such Securitizing Note Holder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with such Securitizing Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which such Securitizing Note Holder customarily adheres or that may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies or applicable law in connection with such Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with such Securitizing Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute such modifications to the Mortgage Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be required by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies or prospective investors to effect such Securitization; provided, however, that no Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall be required to modify or amend this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Documents (or consent to such modification, as applicable) in connection therewith, if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to or priority of such payments to, such Non-Securitizing Note Holder or (ii) materially increase such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s obligations or materially decrease such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with any Securitization, each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to such Securitization such information concerning such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its

39 

Note as the related Securitizing Note Holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, and such Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall, at such Securitizing Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and such Securitizing Note Holder in connection with such Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with such Securitizing Note Holder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable such Securitizing Note Holder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and such Securitization), as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to such Note Holder and its Note in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that in connection with any Securitization, the information provided by it in its capacity as a Non-Securitizing Note Holder to the related Securitizing Note Holder may be incorporated into the offering documents for such Securitization. Each Securitizing Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, each Non-Securitizing Note Holder.

(b)          The holder of any Note that will, upon Securitization, be the Lead Securitization Note shall give each of the other Note Holders and parties to any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (that are not also parties to the proposed Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) notice of the Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note in writing (which may be by e-mail) not less than 5 business days prior to the applicable pricing date for the Securitization of such Note. Such notice shall contain contact information for each of the parties to the proposed Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the holder of the Note that will, upon Securitization, be the Lead Securitization Note shall send each distributed draft of the proposed Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to each of the other Note Holders and parties to any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (that are not also parties to the proposed Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and shall send copies of the offering documents (prior to printing or filing thereof) related to the Securitization of such Note to each of the other Note Holders and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders shall have a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon.

Section 28.     Notices.    All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) facsimile transmission (during business hours) if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (ii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (iii) certified United States mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B hereto, or at such other address as any party shall hereafter inform the other party by written notice given as aforesaid. All written notices so given shall be deemed effective upon receipt.

Section 29.     Broker.    Each Note Holder represents to each other that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.

40 

Section 30.     Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

(a)          The Agent may request and/or rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 14 and Section 15;

(b)          The Agent may consult with counsel and any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel;

(c)          The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any Note Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

(d)          The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Act, shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by the Agent to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(e)          The Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 15;

(f)          The Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys but shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder; and

(g)          The Agent represents and warrants that it is a Qualified Institutional Lender.

Section 31.     Resignation of Agent.    The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. CFI, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of CFI without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement, and any successor master servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place thereof without any further notice or other action.

Section 32.     Resizing.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as CFI or an Affiliate of CFI (an “Original Entity”) is the owner of a Non-Lead

41 

Securitization Note (the “Owned Note”), such Original Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of the Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing the Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Owned Note; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of the Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii) all Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the Original Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts, and (v) the execution of such amendments and New Notes does not violate the Servicing Standard. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the Original Entity holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed in Section 5), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holder of the other Note. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in (i) through (v) above are satisfied, with respect to (i) through (iv), as certified by the Original Entity, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal.

(ii)          if the Master Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or Servicing Advance with respect to the Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance or Servicing Advance previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall provide each Non-Lead Master Servicer written notice of such determination promptly after such determination was made together with such reports that the Master Servicer delivered to the Special Servicer or Trustee in connection with notification of its determination of nonrecoverability;

(iii)         the Master Servicer shall remit all payments received with respect to the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, net of the Servicing Fee payable with respect to each such Non-Lead Securitization Note, and any other applicable fees and reimbursements payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee to the other holders on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Master Servicer Remittance Date;

(iv)        with respect to each Non-Lead Securitization Note that is held by a Securitization, the Certificate Administrator agrees to make available to each of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders or, if such Non-Lead Securitization Note is securitized, to each of the Non-Lead Master Servicers (or, if so requested, the related certificate administrator) certain reports required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (which shall include all loan-level reports constituting the CREFC Investor Reporting Package) to the extent related to the Mortgage Loan or the Non-Lead Securitization Note;

 I-3

(xiv)       if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, then, except as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, such action shall also require delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation from any Rating Agency that was engaged by a participant in the applicable Non-Lead Securitization to assign a rating to the related commercial mortgage pass-through certificates issued in connection with such Non-Lead Securitization;

If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer may terminate, by notice in writing to the Primary Servicer, all of the rights and obligations of the Primary Servicer as Primary Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loan and the proceeds thereof. From and after the receipt by the Primary Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Primary Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan or

24

otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer pursuant to and under Section 4.01 of this Agreement, and, without limitation, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Primary Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan and related documents, or otherwise.

The Primary Servicer agrees that if it is terminated pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement, it shall promptly (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Master Servicer or the Successor Sub-Servicer, if applicable, with all documents and records (including, without limitation, those in electronic form) requested by it to enable it to assume the Primary Servicer’s functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Master Servicer or the Successor Sub-Servicer, if applicable, in effecting the termination of the Primary Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the assumption by a successor of the Primary Servicer’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within one (1) Business Day to the Master Servicer or the Successor Sub-Servicer, if applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Primary Servicer to the Primary Servicer Collection Account, the Collection Account, any Servicing Account, or any REO Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan or any REO Property (provided, however, that the Primary Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, and it and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.03 of this Agreement notwithstanding any such termination).

In addition to any other rights the Master Servicer may have hereunder, if the Primary Servicer fails to remit to the Master Servicer any amounts when required to be remitted hereunder, the Primary Servicer shall pay to the Master Servicer interest on the amount of such late remittance at the Prime Rate, applied on a per diem basis for each day such remittance is late (i.e., said per annum rate divided by 365 multiplied by the number of days late); but in no event shall such interest be greater than the maximum amount permitted by law.

Section 4.02Waiver of Defaults.

The Master Servicer may waive any default by the Primary Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

25

Section 4.03Other Remedies of Master Servicer.

During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer, in addition to the rights specified in Section 4.01 of this Agreement, shall have the right, in its own name, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.
