Item 8.01. Other Events.

On November 18, 2021, 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC (the “Registrant”) caused the issuance of the 3650R 2021-PF1 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-PF1 (the “Certificates”), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 and as to which an executed version is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Registrant, as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer, 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as special servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator and as trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer. The Class A-1,  Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5,  A-SB,  Class X-A,  Class X-B,  Class A-S,  Class B and  Class C Certificates (the “Public Certificates”), having an aggregate initial principal amount of $781,946,000, were placed through Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”) and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI” and, collectively with CGMI, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and dated November 5, 2021 among the Registrant, the Underwriters and 3650 Real Estate Investment Trust 2 LLC. In connection with the issuance and sale to the Underwriters of the Public Certificates, a legal opinion was rendered related to the validity of, and certain federal income tax considerations relating to, the Public Certificates, which legal opinion is attached as an exhibit to this report. Additionally, the Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant has provided the certification attached hereto as Exhibit 36.1 and dated as of November 18, 2021.

On November 18, 2021, the Registrant sold all of the Public Certificates, having an aggregate certificate principal amount of $781,946,000. The net proceeds of the offering to the Registrant of the issuance of the certificates, after deducting expenses payable by the Registrant of approximately $4,458,855 were approximately $932,159,644. Of the expenses paid by the Registrant, approximately $146,607 were paid directly to affiliates of the Registrant. Of the expenses paid by the Registrant, approximately $2,654,600 in the form of fees were paid to the Underwriters, approximately $0 were paid to or for the Underwriters and $1,657,647 were other expenses. All of the foregoing expense amounts are the Registrant’s reasonable estimates of such expenses. No underwriting discounts and commissions or finder’s fees were paid by the Registrant; the Public Certificates were offered by the Underwriters for sale to the public in negotiated transactions or otherwise at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The related registration statement (file no. 333-255181) was originally declared effective on June 9, 2021.

On November 18, 2021, the Registrant placed the Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Private Certificates”), having an aggregate initial principal amount of $136,640,611, through CGMI and DBSI (collectively, in such capacity, the “Placement Agents”) pursuant to a Placement Agent Agreement, dated November 5, 2021, among the Registrant, 3650 Real Estate Investment Trust 2 LLC and the Placement Agents. The Private Certificates were sold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Act.

The Publicly Offered Certificates and the Mortgage Loans are more particularly described in the Prospectus, dated November 9, 2021 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 18, 2021. In connection with such Prospectus, the Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant has provided the certification attached hereto as Exhibit 36.1 and dated as of the date of the Prospectus.

Each of several Mortgage Loans that are among the assets of the Issuing Entity are part of a Whole Loan. Each Whole Loan is governed by a co-lender, intercreditor or similar agreement (each, an

“Intercreditor Agreement”) between the holders of the promissory notes comprising such Whole Loan, the terms of which are described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” in the Prospectus described below. Each Intercreditor Agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto as described in the following table. Moreover, certain of such Whole Loans will not be serviced pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement but will instead be serviced pursuant to a different servicing agreement (each, a “Non-Serviced PSA”). Each such Non-Serviced PSA is attached as an exhibit hereto as described in the following table. For a description of the servicing of the affected Whole Loans under such Non-Serviced PSAs, see “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” in the Prospectus described above.

Name of Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement)	Non-Serviced PSA (if any)	Intercreditor Agreement
CX – 350 & 450 Water Street	4.2	4.7
520 Almanor	4.3	4.8

Huntsville Office Portfolio	N/A	4.10

One SoHo Square	4.6	4.14
Icon One Daytona	N/A	4.15
PetSmart HQ	N/A	4.16
Centene	N/A	4.17

The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in 3650R 2021-PF1 Commercial Mortgage Trust (the “Issuing Entity”), a common law trust fund formed under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The assets of the Issuing Entity consist primarily of mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by first liens on commercial or multifamily properties. The Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Registrant (1) from 3650 Real Estate Investment Trust 2 LLC (“3650 REIT”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2021 and as to which an executed version is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, between 3650 REIT and the Registrant, (2) from Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. (“CREFI”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2021 and as to which an executed version is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, between CREFI and the Registrant, and (3) from German American Capital Corporation (“GACC”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2021 and as to which an executed version is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3, between GACC and the Registrant.

The funds used by the Registrant to pay the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans were derived in part from the proceeds from the placement of Certificates through the Registrant to the Underwriters, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, and the Placement Agents, pursuant to the Certificate Purchase Agreement.

Credit Risk Retention

3650 Real Estate Investment Trust 2 LLC, in its capacity as “retaining sponsor” (in such capacity, the “Retaining Sponsor”), is satisfying its credit risk retention obligation under Regulation RR, 17 C.F.R. Part 246 (the “Risk Retention Rule”) in connection with the securitization of the Mortgage Loans referred

to above by the purchase and retention of the Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class NR-RR Certificates (such retained portion, the “HRR Certificates”) by its “majority-owned affiliate” (as defined in the Risk Retention Rule).

The HRR Certificates constitute an “eligible horizontal residual interest” (as defined in the Risk Retention Rule). The aggregate fair value of the HRR Certificates is equal to approximately $47,516,485 (excluding accrued interest), representing approximately 5.08% of the aggregate fair value of all of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates). The fair value of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) was determined based on the actual sale prices and finalized tranche sizes of such Certificates.

If the Retaining Sponsor had relied solely on retaining an “eligible horizontal residual interest” in order to meet the credit risk retention requirements of the Credit Risk Retention Rules with respect to this securitization transaction, it would have retained an eligible horizontal residual interest with an aggregate fair value dollar amount of approximately $46,757,993, representing 5.00% of the aggregate fair value, as of the Closing Date, of all the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates), excluding accrued interest.

As of the Closing Date, there are no material differences between (a) the valuation methodology or any of the key inputs and assumptions that were used in calculating the fair value or range of fair values disclosed in the preliminary prospectus, dated November 1, 2021, under the heading “Credit Risk Retention” prior to the pricing of the Certificates and (b) the valuation methodology or the key inputs and assumptions that were used in calculating the fair value at the time of the Closing Date.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), proposes to cause the issuance of its 3650R 2021-PF1 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-PF1 (collectively, the “Certificates”), in multiple classes, under a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of November 1, 2021, between the Company, as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”). The Certificates issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will consist of the classes of Certificates specified on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Publicly Offered Certificates”) and the additional classes designated Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR and Class R. The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund (the “Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of a segregated pool (the “Mortgage Pool”) of thirty-five (35) fixed-rate, commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), each evidenced by one or more promissory notes secured by first mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or similar security instruments on the fee and/or leasehold estate of the related borrower in forty-two (42) commercial and multifamily properties. The Mortgage Loans will be purchased by the Company from (i) 3650 Real Estate Investment Trust 2 LLC (“3650 REIT”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “3650 REIT Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and 3650 REIT, (ii) Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. (“CREFI”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021

 

(the “CREFI Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and CREFI, and (iii) German American Capital Corporation (“GACC” and, together with 3650 REIT and CREFI, the “Mortgage Loan Sellers”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “GACC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement” and, together with the 3650 REIT Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the CREFI Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”), between the Company and GACC, in each case in exchange for immediately available funds. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as in effect on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 4(a) of this Agreement).

The Company proposes to publicly offer the Publicly Offered Certificates through the Underwriters from time to time, in negotiated transactions or otherwise at varying prices determined at the time of sale, plus, in certain cases, accrued interest, when, as and if issued. This Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is to confirm the arrangements with respect to the placement by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”) and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI” and, together with CGMI, the “Underwriters”), severally and not jointly, of the Publicly Offered Certificates with investors.

 

The Company and 3650 REIT hereby acknowledge that 3650 REIT, as owner of a direct or indirect interest in the Company, will benefit from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the Underwriters are unwilling to enter into this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the absence of the agreements of the Company and 3650 REIT set forth in this Agreement.

At or prior to the time when sales to purchasers of the Publicly Offered Certificates were first made, which: (a) was approximately 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on November 5, 2021 with respect to each Class of Publicly Offered Certificates other than the Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates, (b) was approximately 2:53 p.m. (Eastern Time) on November 9, 2021 with respect to the Class X-A Certificates, and (c) was approximately 2:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on November 9, 2021 with respect to the Class X-B Certificates (individually and collectively, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, the “Time of Sale”), the Company had prepared or made available the following information (collectively, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, the “Time of Sale Information”): (i) the Free Writing Prospectus (Structural and Collateral Term Sheet) dated November 1, 2021, the cover page of which is attached hereto as Annex A (the “Term Sheet”), (ii) the Preliminary Prospectus (as defined in Section 1(a) of this Agreement), (iii) any prospectus supplements specifically relating to the Publicly Offered Certificates that were filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) at least 48 hours prior to the initial Time of Sale (each, a “Pre-Pricing Supplement”), and (iv) each additional Free Writing Prospectus identified on (including by affixing the first page thereof as) Annex B hereto. “Free Writing Prospectus” means a “free-writing prospectus” as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act. If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Company and the Underwriters (x) determine that such information 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 (y) terminate their old purchase contracts and enter into new purchase contracts with investors in the Publicly Offered Certificates, then “Time of Sale

-2- 

Information” will refer to the information, including any information that corrects such material misstatements or omissions, conveyed to purchasers at the time of entry into the first such new purchase contract (“Corrective Information”) and “Time of Sale” will refer to the time and date on which such new purchase contracts were entered into.

1.                  The Depositor, 3650 REIT and the Underwriters agree as follows. The Depositor hereby appoints the Underwriters to act as placement agents in connection with the offer and sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof, and the Underwriters hereby accept such appointment in accordance with the terms hereof. The Depositor agrees to pay each Underwriter the allocable portion, with respect to the Publicly Offered Certificates, of the placement fee set forth for such Underwriter in the engagement letter, dated June 22, 2021 (the “Engagement Letter”), entered into by CGMI and 3650 REIT. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Depositor agrees to sell or cause to be sold the Publicly Offered Certificates and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to use their respective best efforts to (i) solicit offers to purchase the Publicly Offered Certificates on behalf of the Depositor from time to time in negotiated transactions at various prices to be determined at the time of the sale and (ii) provide customary facilitation of the offering and sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates in global form through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”); provided, however, that the Underwriters shall have no liability to the Depositor in connection with any failure of an investor to consummate a sale for any reason. In connection with acting as placement agents hereunder, the Underwriters shall have the right (but no obligation) to purchase the Publicly Offered Certificates and resell the Publicly Offered Certificates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In the event the Publicly Offered Certificates are irrevocably placed with investors (pursuant to a binding agreement) and the Underwriters have received the necessary purchase price from an investor, in each case as determined by the Underwriters in their sole discretion, on the Closing Date, the Underwriters shall purchase such Publicly Offered Certificates from the Depositor and resell them to investors; provided, however, that the Underwriters shall have no liability to the Depositor in connection with any failure of an investor to consummate a sale for any reason. Each of the Depositor and each Underwriter agrees that, as to any and all of the Publicly Offered Certificates that either Underwriter purchases and resells or with respect to which an Underwriter arranges the sale pursuant to this Agreement, such Publicly Offered Certificates will be purchased, resold or sold, as the case may be, by such Underwriter in reliance on, among other things, the agreements, representations, warranties and covenants of the Depositor contained herein and on the terms and conditions and in the manner provided for herein. The Depositor will have the sole right to accept or reject any or all offers presented by either Underwriter in the sole and absolute discretion of the Depositor. The Depositor shall direct the Underwriters to remit the aggregate purchase price for the Publicly Offered Certificates placed pursuant hereto to accounts specified by 3650 REIT, which will be receiving such amounts as partial consideration for the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Underwriter shall have any obligation under this Agreement with respect to the offer and sale of any Classes of Certificates other than the Publicly Offered Certificates.

2.                  Each of the Company and 3650 REIT represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each of the Underwriters that:

-21- 

Time of Sale; or (iv) any breach of a representation and warranty in Section 2(x), Section 2(y) or Section 2(ee); provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability is caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission with respect to any Underwriter Information or Other Transaction Participant Information.

(b)               Each Underwriter shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or its affiliates, directors or officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, but only insofar as such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact, or omissions or alleged omissions to state a 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, in the Underwriter Information with respect to such Underwriter; and (ii) untrue statements or alleged untrue statements 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 required to be stated therein or 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, provided that no Underwriter shall be obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless the Company to the extent such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (A) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission with respect to any Issuer Information, or (B) information (other than the Underwriter Information) that is also contained in the Time of Sale Information.

(c)                Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under such subsection (a) or (b), as the case may be, except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will be relieved of its indemnification obligation only to the extent of any loss caused by the indemnified party’s failure to provide notice) and in no event relieves it of liability it may otherwise have to any indemnified party. Upon request of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying 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. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be

-22- 

entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and other than under the circumstances described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the next sentence. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party 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. 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, conditioned or delayed). 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 two sentences, 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 has agreed under this Section 8(c), 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 (i) provides for an unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement and (ii) does not require or contain a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party, without the consent of the indemnified party.

(d)               If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) above in respect of any losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or

-23- 

actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates subject to this Agreement. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under Section 8(c) of this Agreement, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the placement of the Publicly Offered Certificates through the Underwriters (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting fees, discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purposes) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute or deemed to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total fees, purchase discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates exceeds 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. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligation under this Section 8(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective placement amounts and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 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.

(e)                The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each affiliate, officer and director of any Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of each Underwriter under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each affiliate, officer and director of the Company and to each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

-24- 

(f)                The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, which expenses the indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred at the request of the indemnified party. In the event that any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party which made such payment.

(g)               The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, 3650 REIT 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 the Publicly Offered Certificates by or on behalf of the Underwriters or any officer or director or controlling person of an Underwriter, the Company or 3650 REIT, or any officer, director or controlling person of the Company or 3650 REIT and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Publicly Offered Certificates. The provisions of Section 6, Section 10, Section 12(c), Section 22 and Section 23 of this Agreement and the indemnity and contribution agreements in this Section 8 shall survive the termination and cancellation of this Agreement.

(h)               Each Underwriter (the “Indemnifying Underwriter”) will indemnify and hold harmless the other Underwriters, each affiliate, officer and director of any such other Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any such other Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (such indemnified parties, individually and collectively, the “Non-Indemnifying Underwriter”) from and against any and all losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Non-Indemnifying Underwriter becomes subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, common law or otherwise insofar as such losses, expenses, claims, damages or 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 or the omission or alleged omission (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information) 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 at the Time of Sale, contained in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by such Indemnifying Underwriter, (ii) 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 therein a material fact required to be stated therein regarding the Indemnifying Underwriter or necessary to make the statements therein regarding the Indemnifying Underwriter, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) the failure of such Indemnifying Underwriter, or any member of its selling group, to comply with any provision of Section 11 of this Agreement, and agrees to reimburse 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, except to the extent such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the Issuer Information which was not corrected by Corrective

-25- 

Information subsequently supplied by the Company or any Mortgage Loan Seller to such Underwriter at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Time of Sale (or in the case of any Corrected Supplement, at least 48 hours (but, in any event, no less than one (1) Business Day) prior to the date of the Time of Sale), or in any Other Transaction Participant Information. This agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.

9.                  [Reserved.]

10.              If for any reason the Publicly Offered Certificates are not delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee as provided herein, other than by several Underwriters’ failure to comply with their obligations hereunder, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the offer, sale and delivery of the Publicly Offered Certificates, but the Company shall be under no further liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Certificates except as provided in Section 6, Section 8 and Section 12(c) of this Agreement.

11.              (a) The Underwriters may prepare and provide to prospective investors Free Writing Prospectuses (as defined below), or portions thereof, which the Company is required to file with the Commission in electronic format and will use reasonable efforts to provide to the Company such Free Writing Prospectuses, or portions thereof, in either Microsoft Word® or Microsoft Excel® format and not in a PDF, except to the extent that the Company, in its sole discretion, waives such requirements, subject to the following conditions (to which such conditions each Underwriter agrees (provided that no Underwriter shall be responsible for any breach of the following conditions by any other Underwriter)):

(i)                        Unless preceded or accompanied by the Prospectus, the Underwriters shall not convey or deliver any written communication to any person in connection with the initial offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates, unless such written communication (1) is made in reliance on Rule 134 under the Securities Act, (2) is made in reliance on Rule 172 under the Securities Act, (3) is the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus or (4) constitutes a Free Writing Prospectus that does not constitute Time of Sale Information. The Underwriters shall not convey or deliver in connection with the initial offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates any materials in reliance on any “ABS informational and computational material,” as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the Securities Act (“ABS Informational and Computational Material”), in reliance upon Rules 167 and 426 under the Securities Act.

(ii)                        Each Underwriter shall deliver to the Company, no later than two business days prior to the date of first use thereof or such later date as may be agreed to by the Company that allows the Company to satisfy the requirements of Rule 433 under the Securities Act, (a) any Free Writing Prospectus that was prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter (an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”) and that contains any “issuer information,” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act and footnote 271 of the Commission’s Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591 (“Issuer Information”) (which the parties hereto agree includes, without limitation, Mortgage Loan Seller Information), and (b) any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof

-26-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Free Writing Prospectus that contains only ABS Informational and Computational Materials may be delivered by an Underwriter to the Company not later than the later of (A) two business days prior to the due date for filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or such later date as may be agreed to by the Company or (B) the date of first use of such Free Writing Prospectus.

(iii)                        Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that the Free Writing Prospectuses to be furnished to the Company by such Underwriter pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) of this Agreement will constitute all Free Writing Prospectuses of the type described therein that were furnished to prospective investors by such Underwriter in connection with its offer and placement of the Publicly Offered Certificates.

(iv)                        Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that each Free Writing Prospectus required to be provided by it to the Company pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) of this Agreement did not, as of the Time of Sale, and will not as of the Closing Date, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary 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; provided however, that such Underwriter makes no representation to the extent such misstatements or omissions were the result of any inaccurate Issuer Information, Other Transaction Participant Information, which information was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Company or any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Seller to such Underwriter within a reasonable period of time prior to the Time of Sale.

(v)                        The Company agrees to file with the Commission the following:

(A)             Any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus;

(D)             Any ABS Informational and Computational Material that is not being treated as a Free Writing Prospectus.

(vi)                        Any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Section 11(a)(v)(C) of this Agreement by the Company shall be filed with the Commission not later than the date of first use of the Free Writing Prospectus, except that:

(vii)                        Each Underwriter (with the reasonable cooperation of the Company) shall file with the Commission, or provide to the Company at least 2 Business Days prior to the time such filing is required (and the Company shall file with the Commission), any Free Writing Prospectus (other than a Free Writing Prospectus required to be delivered to the Company pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) of this Agreement) that is neither an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus nor contains Issuer Information and that is used or referred to by it and distributed by or on behalf of such Underwriter in a manner reasonably designed to lead to its broad, unrestricted dissemination not later than the date of the first use of such Free Writing Prospectus.

(viii)                        Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11(a)(vii) of this Agreement, each Underwriter shall file, or cause to be filed, with the Commission any Free Writing Prospectus for which such Underwriter or any person acting on its behalf provided, authorized or approved information that is prepared and published or disseminated by a person unaffiliated with the Company or any other offering participant that is in the business of publishing, radio or television broadcasting or otherwise disseminating written communications and for which no payment was made or consideration given by or on behalf of the Company or any other offering participant, not later than four business days after such Underwriter becomes aware of the publication, radio or television broadcast or other dissemination of such Free Writing Prospectus.

(x)                        The Company and the Underwriters each agree that any Free Writing Prospectuses prepared by it shall contain the following legend, or substantially equivalent legend that complies with Rule 433 of the Securities Act:

The depositor has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the depositor has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the depositor, the issuing trust, and this offering.

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 1-800-831-9146.

(xi)                        In the event that the Company 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 Company 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 Securities Act (such supplement, a “Corrected Supplement”) and (iii) file such Corrected Supplement with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(h) under the Securities Act. Upon receipt of such notice from the Company, the Underwriters shall:

(C)              Provide such investor with an opportunity to enter into a new contract of sale on the terms described in the Time of Sale Information (as updated by such Corrected Supplement); and

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

(xii)                        The Company 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 11 for a period of three years following the initial bona fide offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates.

(xiii)                        (A) In the event that the Company becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact 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 Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), the Company shall notify the Underwriters of such untrue statement or omission within one business day after discovery and the Company shall, if requested by the Underwriters, prepare and deliver to the Underwriters a Free Writing Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement or omission in the Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (such corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”).

(B)              In the event that any Underwriter becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus delivered to an investor in any Publicly Offered Certificates contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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 (together with a Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Defective Free Writing Prospectus”), such Underwriter shall notify the Company of such untrue statement or omission within one business day after discovery.

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

(1)               if the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, 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”);

(2)               either (i) deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each investor which 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

-30- 

(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;

(3)               notify such investor in a prominent fashion that the prior contract of sale with the investor has been terminated, and of the investor’s rights as a result of termination of such agreement;

(4)               provide such investor with an opportunity to affirmatively agree to purchase the Publicly Offered Certificates on the terms described in the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus; and

(5)               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 Commission’s Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591.

(D)             In the event that the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, 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 Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for such costs; provided that, before incurring such costs, the Underwriters first permit the Company 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 Company that after the Prospectus is available such Underwriter shall not distribute any written information concerning the Publicly Offered Certificates to a prospective investor unless such information is preceded or accompanied by the Prospectus.

12.              (a)  Any Underwriter may terminate its obligations under this Agreement by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the Time of Delivery if the sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates provided for herein is not consummated because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the absence of the fulfillment of any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)               This Agreement shall be terminable by the Underwriters if at any time on or prior to the Time of Delivery: (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 Company 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 Publicly Offered Certificates; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of any of the Publicly Offered Certificates by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined under the Exchange Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the

-31- 

Publicly Offered Certificates (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any change in U.S. or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls as would, in the judgment of the Underwriters, be likely to prejudice materially the success of the proposed issue, sale or distribution of the Publicly Offered Certificates, whether in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary market; (iv) any material suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or any over-the-counter market, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange or market, or any suspension of trading of any Publicly Offered Certificates on any relevant exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (v) any general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by any Federal or New York State authorities; (vi) any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in the United States; or (vii) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any other national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the Underwriters, the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or the sale of any payment for the Publicly Offered Certificates.

(c)                If any Underwriter terminates its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 12(a) or Section 12(b) of this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse such Underwriter 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 offering and placement of the Publicly Offered Certificates.

22.              (a) 3650 REIT hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Underwriter the due and punctual payment of all sums due by, and the performance of all obligations of, the Company under Section 6, Section 8, Section 10 and Section 12(c) of this Agreement and any other provisions hereof requiring the payment of any amount by the Company, as and when the same shall become due and payable (after giving effect to any applicable grace period) according to the terms hereof. In the case of the failure of the Company to make any such payment as and when due, 3650 REIT hereby agrees to make such payment or cause such payment to be made, promptly upon written demand to 3650 REIT by the applicable Underwriter, but any delay in providing such notice shall not under any circumstances reduce the liability of 3650 REIT or operate as a waiver of such Underwriter’s right to demand payment.

(a)                This guarantee shall be a guaranty of payment and performance, and the obligations of 3650 REIT under this guarantee shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional. 3650 REIT waives any and all defenses it may have arising out of: (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement in relation to the Company; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce the same; (iii) the rendering of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same; (iv) any waiver or consent by any Underwriter or any amendment or other modification to this Agreement; (v) any defense to payment hereunder based upon suretyship defenses; (vi) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company, (vii) any defense based on (1) the corporate status of the Company, (2) the power and authority of the Company to enter into this

-34- 

Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder or (3) the legality, validity and enforceability of the Company’s obligation under this Agreement, or (viii) any other defense, circumstances or limitation of any nature whatsoever that would constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or other third party obligor. This guarantee shall continue to remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the renewal, extension, modification, or waiver, in whole or in part, of any of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement which are subject to this guarantee.

(b)               3650 REIT waives (i) diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices and demands relating to this Agreement and (ii) any requirement that the Underwriters proceed first against the Company under this Agreement or otherwise exhaust any right, power or remedy under this Agreement before proceeding hereunder.

23.              3650 REIT shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter from and against any and all loss, cost or expense, including any losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, forfeitures, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, including any costs of enforcement, incurred or suffered as a result of, or related to, (i) any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement (other than Section 6, Section 8, Section 10 and Section 12(c) hereof) and any other provisions hereof requiring the payment of any amount by the Company), (ii) any breach by 3650 of any of its obligations as “retaining sponsor” under Regulation RR or (iii) the invalidity or otherwise unenforceability of the guaranty provided for under, or any other provisions of, Section 22, including the waiver of any defenses provided for pursuant to Section 22, or for any limitations on the recovery or timing of amounts in connection with the attempted enforcement of the guaranty. 

24.              3650 REIT represents and warrants to each Underwriter that:

(a)                3650 REIT has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite power and authority (limited liability company and other, including, without limitation, all material licenses, certificates, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies) to own its properties and to conduct its business as now conducted by it; and

(b)               This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of 3650 REIT, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity, and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law or considerations of public policy.

25.              (a) In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if

-35- 

this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)               In the event a Covered Party or any BHC Act Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights with respect to this Agreement that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(c)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, the parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that:

(i)                        None of the Underwriters shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right with respect to this Agreement or any Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Act Affiliate of the Company becoming subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, except as permitted under the provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable; and

(ii)                        Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the transfer of any Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement, any interest or obligation in or under such Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement, or any property securing such Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement to a Transferee upon or following a BHC Act Affiliate of the Company becoming subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, unless the transfer would result in any Underwriter being the beneficiary of such Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement in violation of any law applicable to such Underwriter.

(d)               After a BHC Act Affiliate of the Company has become subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, if an Underwriter seeks to exercise any Default Right with respect to this Agreement or any Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement, such Underwriter shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted hereunder or thereunder.

(e)                The requirements of Sections 25(a) and 25(b) of this Agreement apply notwithstanding Section 25(c) of this Agreement.

(f)                Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 26, the following definitions apply:

(C)              a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated and effective as of November 1, 2021, among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services 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 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, one separate REMIC election was designated to be made with respect to one mortgage loan, any REO Property with respect thereto and the proceeds thereof for federal income tax purposes pursuant to a REMIC Declaration dated as of January 26, 2021 (the “Westchester Loan REMIC Declaration”), and such REMIC the “Westchester Loan REMIC”).

In addition, the parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class Z Specific Grantor Trust Assets shall be treated as a grantor trust (the “Grantor Trust”) for federal income tax purposes under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code. The Class Z Certificates will represent undivided beneficial interests in the related portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class Z Specific Grantor Trust Assets. 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 the Trust REMICs.

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates to the Underwriters and the Placement Agents.

LOWER-TIER REMIC

The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest and the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of the Excess Interest and the proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account and exclusive of the assets held by the Westchester Loan REMIC) and will issue the Class LA-1, Class LA-3, Class LA-4, Class LA-5, Class LA-SB, Class LA-S, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF-RR, Class LG-RR, Class LJ-RR and Class LNR-RR Uncertificated Interests (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), which will evidence the “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Lower-Tier REMIC will also issue the uncertificated Class LR Interest, which is the sole Class of “residual interests” in the

-1-

Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and is represented by the Class R Certificates.

Pursuant to the Westchester Loan REMIC Declaration, the Westchester Loan REMIC has issued two classes of uncertificated regular interests (1) one of which has a principal balance of $75,000,000, an approximately 26.667% interest of which is to be held by the Lower-Tier REMIC and (2) the other of which has a principal balance of $25,000,000 (collectively, the “Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interests”), which constitute the “regular interests” in the Westchester Loan REMIC, and a sole class of “residual interests” which is not part of the Trust Fund.

The Westchester Mortgage Loan, which will be contributed to the Trust, represents an approximately 26.667% ownership interest in the $75,000,000 Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest.

“Nonrecoverable Advance”: Any Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.

“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 Mortgage Loan, which the Master Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, as applicable, determines would 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 Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option (other than with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan), 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), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may be conclusively relied upon by, and shall be binding upon, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not have 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 may 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. 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-

-74-

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 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 (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 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 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 reimbursement, 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 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). 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 applicable, that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance 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

-75-

and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Certificateholder (but in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan) (and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer), the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor (and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable) and the Certificate Administrator. 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 Appraisal of the related Mortgage Loan, or the related Mortgaged Property).

In the case of a Crossed Underlying Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group.

“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), Whole Loan or REO Property which the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, as applicable, determines would 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, 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 change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (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) give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances that, 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 reimbursement, 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

-76-

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 (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). 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. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance 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 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 if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable), 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 or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable); 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 Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may be conclusively relied upon by, and shall be binding upon, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not have 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 and property inspections, and shall include any existing Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion

-77-

Loan, as applicable, 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. 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).

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) (if recorded), (ix) and (x) 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 Closing Date, 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) (if recorded), (ix) and (x) (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 Closing Date.

Neither the Trustee nor any Custodian will 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,

-124-

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) (to the extent not already assigned pursuant to clause (iii)) 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 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) and clause (f) of the final proviso to the definition of “Mortgage File” herein.

If, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and consistent with Section 2.01(c), 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) (to the extent not already assigned pursuant to clause (iii)) or clause (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, 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).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to letters of credit referred to in clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and relating to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the original to the Master Servicer (which letter of credit shall be titled in the name of, or assigned to, “Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of registered holders of 3650R 2021-PF1 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-PF1”, and a copy to the Custodian or, if such original has been submitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect a reissuance, assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee, as titled above) that may be required in order for 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, as applicable) and 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 with respect to any letter(s) of credit a copy thereof to the Custodian together with an

-125-

officer’s certificate of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller certifying that such document has been delivered to the issuing bank for reissuance or an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer certifying that it holds the letter(s) of credit pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), one of which shall be delivered to the Custodian on the Closing Date. If a letter of credit referred to in the previous sentence 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 the appropriate assignment or amendment documents (or copies of such assignment or amendment documents if the related Mortgage Loan Seller has submitted the originals to the related issuer of such letter of credit for processing) to the Custodian within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date. 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)Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, 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 to the Custodian as provided in Section 2.01(b).

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

-126-

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 of such confirmation in the related Mortgage File. If 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 each case, financial statements, operating statements and any other information provided by the respective Mortgagor from time to time, but 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, 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

-127-

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 (other than the Non-Serviced 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.

(g)[Reserved].

(h)The Depositor shall cause each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to provide that no later than 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 to 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 Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor) certifying that the electronic copies of the Diligence File uploaded to the Designated Site contain 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 Mortgage Loan Seller (the “Diligence File Certificate”).

terms of this Section 2.01, and (3) on and following such Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Person selling the related Servicing Shift Lead Note to the related Non-Serviced Depositor, at its own expense, shall be (a) entitled to direct in writing, via a Request for Release, which may be conclusively relied upon by the Custodian, the Custodian to deliver the originals of all the Mortgage Loan documents relating to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan in its possession (other than the original Mortgage Note(s) evidencing such Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee or the related Non-Serviced Custodian, (b) if the right under clause (a) is exercised, required to cause the retention by or delivery to the Custodian of photocopies of Mortgage Loan documents related to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan so delivered to such Non-Serviced Trustee or such Non-Serviced Custodian, (c) entitled to cause the completion (or, in the event of a recordation as contemplated by clause (1)(ii) of this paragraph, the preparation, execution and delivery) and recordation of instruments of assignment in the name of the related Other Trustee or related Non-Serviced Custodian, (d) if the right under clause (c) is exercised, required to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian photocopies of any instruments of assignment so completed and recorded, and (e) entitled to require the Master Servicer to transfer, and to cooperate with all reasonable requests in connection with the transfer of, the Servicing File, and any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and items specified in clauses (x) and (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” for such Servicing Shift Whole Loan to the related Other Servicer.

(k)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 (and any related allonge or assignment) to the Custodian shall be limited to delivery of only the Mortgage Note (and any related allonge or assignment) held by such party to the Custodian. With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers to deliver the remaining portion of the related Mortgage File or any document required to be delivered with respect thereto shall be joint and several, provided that either of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers may deliver one Mortgage File or one of any other document required to be delivered with respect to such Mortgage Loan hereunder and such delivery shall satisfy such delivery requirements for each of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers.

(a)  The Trustee, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement (1) acknowledges receipt by it or a 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 a 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, with respect to any document in the Mortgage File for a Serviced Whole Loan, for any present or future Companion Holder (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.

-129-

(b)Within sixty (60) days of 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 each of the Rating Agencies, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder (so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan), the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule) that, except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing (the “Custodial Exception Report”), (i) subject to the final proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” and Section 2.01, all documents specified in clauses (i) through (v), (viii), (ix), (xi), (xii) and (xiii) (or, with respect to clause (xii), a copy of such letter of credit and the required Officer’s Certificate), 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), (viii) and (x) 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 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 of Exhibit Q, certify in writing to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder (so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan), the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer 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” 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 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), (viii) and (x) 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

-130-

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 Holder, in its sole judgment, may (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan and, with respect to any other Mortgage Loan, only if no Control Termination Event is continuing), and the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, during 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 the 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 6 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Mortgage Loan Seller is not 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 if 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.

-131-

(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 (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 new 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 Holder, 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 any request or demand for repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan because of a breach of or alleged breach

-132-

of a representation or warranty or a Defect (any such request or demand for repurchase or replacement, a “Repurchase Request”, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent it receives a Repurchase Request, the “Repurchase Request Recipient” with respect to such Repurchase Request); or (ii) receives any withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request or any rejection of a Repurchase Request (or such a 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 Repurchase Request or withdrawal or rejection of a 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 Repurchase Request is received by the Repurchase Request Recipient or the date any withdrawal of the Repurchase Request is received by the Repurchase Request Recipient, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request), (iv) the identity of the Person making such Repurchase Request and (v) a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.

A Repurchase Request Recipient is not required to provide any information in a 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. The Depositor shall cause the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements to 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 Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

If the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Request, such party shall promptly forward or otherwise provide written notice of such 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 ‘Repurchase Request’ under Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the 3650R 2021-PF1 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-PF1 requiring action by you as the ‘Repurchase Request Recipient’ thereunder.” Upon receipt of such 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 Repurchase Request, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02(g) with respect to such 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 in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.

-133-

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 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 Operating Advisor, the 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.

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

(iii)The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder by the Depositor will not conflict with any provisions of any law or regulations to which the Depositor is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of the Depositor or any indenture, agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to the Depositor, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the Depositor’s assets or property, which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Depositor to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; the Depositor has obtained any consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this Agreement;

-134-

(iv)There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened against the Depositor in any court or by or before any other governmental agency or instrumentality which would materially and adversely affect the validity of the Mortgage Loans or the ability of the Depositor to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(v)The Depositor is the lawful owner of the Mortgage Loans with the full right to transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, and the Mortgage Loans have been validly transferred to the Trust.

(b)If any Certificateholder, the Directing Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee discovers (without implying any duty of such person to make, or to attempt to make, such a discovery) or receives notice alleging a Material Defect in any Mortgage File, such Certificateholder, the Directing Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall give prompt written notice of such Material Defect to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) and, if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder, and the Special Servicer shall request in writing that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery of the Material Defect or receipt of such notice or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Mortgage Loan Seller or any party to this Agreement of such Material Defect or (y) receipt of notice of a discovery of such Material Defect from any party to this Agreement by the Mortgage Loan Seller, (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 Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) (excluding any related 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 any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, and pay any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection with such substitution (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 will have an additional ninety

-135-

(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 Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, for which no substitution will be permitted) and pay any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection with such substitution) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller must 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 (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan and only while no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) the Directing Holder, 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 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, substitution or repurchase obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as the Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master 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 defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, substitution or repurchase may continue beyond the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Material Defect which causes any Mortgage Loan not to be 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 Material Defect 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 (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) remitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller are to be remitted by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account.

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, while no Control Termination Event is continuing and other than in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is not a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan with the consent of the Directing Holder) (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). The Loss of Value Payment includes 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 and not

-136-

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 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 precludes 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 may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

Contemporaneously with its execution of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Depositor shall cause each Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver powers of attorney (one (1) PDF copy and the number of originals specified in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) substantially in the form of the applicable exhibit to the related 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. Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, each Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to effect (at the expense of such 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 any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any “Material Defect” (or analogous term) exists under the related Non-Serviced PSA, and if the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (or other responsibly party) repurchases the Non-Serviced Companion Loan securitized thereunder from the trust created pursuant to such Non-Serviced PSA, then the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly repurchase such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Defect related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

If any Breach 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) if such Mortgage Loan is or was a Delinquent Loan subject to an Asset Review, the amount of any fees payable, without duplication, 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

-137-

Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if the Breach relates to a Joint Mortgage Loan, each applicable 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; provided, further, however, that if any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may 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, if the related Mortgage Loan Seller remits the amount of such costs and expenses, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects upon its making such remittance. 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 by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer, who shall then remit such funds) 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 Agreement, no 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 (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if it is otherwise required to do so under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Article II unless (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 (other than the Asset Representations Reviewer), 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), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iv) such delay precludes such Mortgage Loan Seller from curing such 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 is not required 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 counsel to the effect that such release in lieu of a repurchase would not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a

-138-

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 “Defect” that constitutes a Material Defect and to be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan (but solely with respect to clause (a)) and to be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan: (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 (or certified by the applicable recorder’s office); (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 (or certified by the applicable recorder’s office), as applicable; (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit (except as permitted under Section 2.01(b)); 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 subclauses (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 subclauses (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

-139-

extent a Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise complied with its document delivery requirements under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, if 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 6(e) 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 6 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and, if applicable, the definition of “Mortgage File” herein, 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 6 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 Defect in a Mortgage File or any Breach of any representation or warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 6 of any of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements.

(f)The Special 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 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)(viii) herein out of general

-140-

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, which also constitutes a default under the related Mortgage Loan and is reimbursable thereunder, such Mortgage Loan Seller may 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 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 Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced 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, however, that the Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer, determines in the exercise of its sole discretion consistent with the Servicing Standard that such actions by it will not impair the Master Servicer’s and/or the Special 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 Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, 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. If 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)

-141-

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 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 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) If 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 related Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.03(l), the Special Servicer (the “Enforcing Servicer”) shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to a Certificateholder Repurchase Request.

(ii)If the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) obtains knowledge of a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, that

party 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 (an “PSA Party Repurchase Request” and, either a Certificateholder Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, the “Repurchase Request”) and the Special Servicer shall promptly send the PSA Party Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Prior to the occurrence of a Resolution Failure, the Special 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)If 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.

After the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, if no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner has become a Requesting Certificateholder, no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may elect to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration and the Enforcing Servicer, as the Enforcing Party, shall be the sole party entitled to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the consent or consultation rights of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08.

(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 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 (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 thirty (30) days of the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received after such thirty (30) day period shall not be taken into consideration, (b) a statement that if any Certificateholder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer shall be compelled to follow or accept 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 applicable Enforcing Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or

-143-

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 or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 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. If any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner 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 shall be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting the Proposed Course of Action. The Certificate Administrator shall within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the thirty (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 and clearly indicating 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 majority of the responding Certificateholders.

(ii)If neither the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, nor any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer shall be the sole party entitled to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the consent or consultation rights of the Directing Holder 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 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)

-144-

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 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 shall enforce the rights of the Trust with respect to the Repurchase Request and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner will have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration.

(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 will collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders will be entitled to make all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration. If, however, no Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of 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 will have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer 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, 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)If 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.

-145-

(viii)None of the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan or 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 if the initial method is unsuccessful.

(m)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 related 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 and have at least fifteen (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 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)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.

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

(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 (such provider, the “Arbitration Services Provider”) in accordance with published arbitration procedures promulgated by the Arbitration Services Provider.

(ii)The arbitrator shall be impartial, an attorney and have at least fifteen (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

-146-

Arbitration Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two 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 may 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 may 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 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.

-147-

(vii)By selecting arbitration, the selecting 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:

(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 has subject matter jurisdiction, or if the Southern District of New York has no jurisdiction, then in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York. The arbitration proceedings may 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)If 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 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 no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and an 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

-148-

deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall provide that if 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)If 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.

(vii)In no event shall the exercise of any right of a Requesting Certificateholder to refer a Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration affect in any manner the ability of the Enforcing Servicer to perform its obligations with respect to a Mortgage Loan or the exercise of any rights of a Directing Certificateholder.

(viii)If the method of dispute resolution selected is unsuccessful, the Requesting Certificateholder shall not elect to then utilize the alternative method.

(ix)Any out-of-pocket expenses required to be borne by the Enforcing Servicer in a mediation or arbitration shall be reimbursable as 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. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, any cure by either of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers with respect to the Mortgage Note sold by it to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that also cures the Material Defect with respect to the entire related Joint Mortgage Loan shall satisfy the cure obligations of both Mortgage Loan Sellers with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan.

-151-

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 service and administer (i) any Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, except in the case of Section 2.03(f) and Section 2.03(k) through Section 2.03(o)), any related Serviced Companion Loans as to which a Servicing Transfer Event 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 is not 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, is not responsible for the performance by the Special Servicer, in its capacity as Special Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. The Special Servicer, in its capacity as Special Servicer, is not responsible 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 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 Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loan.

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 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

-152-

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.

(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 or any related Serviced Companion Loans and any related Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and applicable law, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each has 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.

Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall upon request, furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2, respectively (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, that the Trustee is not 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

-153-

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 is not 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 or Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations, 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. The Master Servicer is not responsible for the payment of such costs and expenses out of pocket other than as a Servicing 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 applicable 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 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 and required to be delivered to the leasehold mortgagee pursuant to the terms of such Ground Lease shall be delivered to the Master Servicer (who shall forward such notice to the Special Servicer), and that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall service the related Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If a letter of credit is required to be drawn upon earlier than the date the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has notified the provider of such letter of credit

-154-

pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately 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 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 will have any liability for the failure of any Mortgage Loan Seller to perform its obligations under the related 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 or to the extent the Serviced Whole Loan is no longer serviced pursuant to this Agreement.

(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 any amounts payable by the related Companion Holder to or for the benefit of the Trust or any party hereto, or payable to the related Companion Holder, 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, in accordance with the respective outstanding 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 Subordinate Companion Loan(s) and then, pro rata and pari passu, by the Trust and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of the related Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

-155-

(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 will be payable out of the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer will 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 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 second 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 Standard 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) if (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

-156-

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.

(n)In connection with the securitization of any Serviced 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 (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 such Other Securitization.

Section 3.02Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard 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 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 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.

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).

(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 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, as applicable, or in Permitted

-162-

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 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 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 and the Servicing Standard. To the extent that a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Companion Loan 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 or Companion Loan that it is responsible for servicing hereunder, shall use 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, 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 is not 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 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. 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, out of such Master Servicer’s own funds, 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

-164-

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, the Master Servicer is not required to reimburse the Special Servicer for any such Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05 out of general collections.

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 may 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 with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and such non-recoverability determination may be conclusively relied upon by, and shall be binding upon, the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the absence of any determination by the Special Servicer that a Servicing Advance previously made by the Master Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer shall be permitted to make its own determination that any such Servicing 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 may 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 or any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans or 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 has no obligation to make any Servicing Advances under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer is not 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 that

-165-

such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer may in its good faith judgment elect (but is not required to make such an election 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 the 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 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 Companion Loans, as the case may be). 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, 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

-166-

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 reasonable 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.

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.

-168-

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 amounts.

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 Section 3.06. As of the Closing Date, the Collection Account for the Master Servicer shall be located at the offices of Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association. The Master Servicer shall give 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.

Notwithstanding the preceding, the following provisions shall apply to remittances relating to the Serviced Companion Loans that have been deposited into an Other Securitization: (1) on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, 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 to, such Serviced Companion Loans prior to such dates; 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) on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, the Companion Paying Agent shall make the payments and remittance described in Section 4.01(l), which payments and remittance shall be made, in each case, on the Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date.

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.

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.

(a)  The Master Servicer (or, in the case of an REO Account maintained by or for it, the Special 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 applicable, 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) and 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) 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 has 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 applicable, 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. If 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:

(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.

-185-

(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, 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). If any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment (as to which the Master Servicer or the 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 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, 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 or the Special Servicer, such federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company is not an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 3.07Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a)  To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents and required by the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain, and the Special Servicer

-186-

(with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties) shall maintain 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 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, and such insurance coverage is to be obtained from an insurer meeting the requirements under, the related Mortgage Loan documents, but only if 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 in accordance with the Servicing Standard. 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 Holder (if no Control Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan). 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 Special Servicer; provided, however, that if any Mortgage or any other Mortgage Loan document 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 an 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 origination of the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, 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 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 with the consent of the Directing Holder (unless a Control Termination Event is continuing) pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan)) and only if 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 (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default) 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 Holder (if no Control Termination Event is continuing) pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) 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

-187-

Servicer may 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 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 is not 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 then-available at commercially reasonable rates and the Trustee has an insurable interest therein.

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

-188-

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 will be entitled to conclusively rely upon the 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 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. If the Special Servicer determines that such failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default, 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. Subject to the Servicing Standard, during the period that the Special Servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Holder, 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.

(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 has not 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 has 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

-189-

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 shall 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. Consistent with subsection (a) above, 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 causes 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 be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause such insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties and REO Properties. If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer causes any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such master single interest or force-placed Insurance Policy, the Master Servicer shall pay 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) 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 (if no policy that complies with the provisions of Section 3.07(a) has been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, and there has 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 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term debt or the deposit obligations 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 “A-” by S&P or “A-” by Fitch (if rated 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 a fidelity bond and an “errors and omissions” Insurance Policy. 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

-190-

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 evidence 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 shall 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. 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, 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. 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)While any REO Property (other than with respect to an REO Property that formerly secured a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Special Servicer shall cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer (if no Control Termination Event is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Holder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan)), 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 and if determined to be nonrecoverable, the Master Servicer shall pay out of general collections in the Collection Account.

(f)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,

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer (or, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, if mutually agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer (in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and subject to the consent of the Special Servicer)), 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)(A) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan and no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall obtain the prior written consent (or deemed consent pursuant to Section 6.08)of (x) in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and (y) in the case of the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder, and the Directing Holder’s consent shall be deemed given ten (10) days after receipt (unless earlier objected to by the Directing Holder) of the Special Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver together with such other information reasonably requested by the Directing Holder and (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event is continuing and no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (x) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than $35,000,000, (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 in the same Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (in the case of a Crossed Underlying Loan) or together with all other Mortgage Loans with the same Mortgagor (or an Affiliate thereof), that is one of the ten 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, provided, however, that with respect to subclauses (x) and (y) of this subclause (iii), 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 Excluded Loan (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor (telephonically or electronically), on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing or for which its consent is required and consider

-192-

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 Special Servicer shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25) 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.

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, (i) the Special Servicer, with respect to all Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and other than as set forth in clause (ii)) or 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, (ii) with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, if such action is not a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision, 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.

(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 (or, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, if mutually agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer (in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and subject to the consent of the Special Servicer), 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)(A) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan and no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall obtain the prior written consent (or deemed consent pursuant to Section 6.08) of (x) in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and (y) in the case of the Special Servicer, the Directing

Holder, and the Directing Holder’s consent shall be deemed given ten (10) days after receipt (unless earlier objected to by the Directing Holder) of the Special Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver together with such other information reasonably required by the Directing Holder, (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event is continuing, and no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (C) during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor 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, which may be in the form of an Asset Status Report, and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Holder or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and reasonably available to the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent or conduct such consultation), and (ii) the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, has obtained Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities 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, (B) has an LTV Ratio greater than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt), (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), (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 subclauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this subclause (iii), 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 Excluded Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) as to the Directing Holder, regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor (telephonically or electronically), 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 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that is processing the related action shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25) 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.

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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that is processing the related action shall use reasonable efforts to make the related Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. Unless determined to be a Nonrecoverable

-194-

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 subject to satisfaction of certain conditions in the related Mortgage Loan documents and subject to which there is no lender discretion required, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, (i) the Special Servicer, with respect to all Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and other than as set forth in clause (ii)), and (ii) the Master Servicer with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans not involving a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine whether such conditions have been satisfied.

(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 3.13(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)                Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer may not waive its rights or grant its consent (or consent to the Master Servicer taking any such action) under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause relating to any Mortgage Loan without ((i) if no Control Termination Event is continuing and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the consent of the Directing Holder (or (i) during a Control Termination Event, but while no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08). The Directing Holder will have ten (10) 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 consent and any additional information the Directing Holder 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 Holder in writing within such period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver or consent).

-195-

(f)                With respect to any Mortgagor request or other action on a Non-Specially Serviced Loan for matters that are Major Decisions or Special Servicer Decisions, if the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer have mutually agreed to have the Master Servicer process such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer shall not agree to such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and, as applicable, the Directing Holder (which consent or deemed consent shall be obtained by the Special Servicer). In connection with such consent, if the Master Servicer is processing such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer with written notice of any request for such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, along with 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 in the event that the Special Servicer does not respond within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice and all such reasonably requested information, plus the time period provided to any Serviced Companion Noteholder under a related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer’s consent to such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision shall be deemed granted.

(g)               Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, if the Special Servicer makes a determination under Sections 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).

(h)               Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.08, without any other approval or consent, the Master Servicer (for Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans other than Specially Serviced Loans) may grant and process a Mortgagor’s request for (i) consent to subject the related Mortgaged Property to an immaterial easement, a right of way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose, (ii) consent to subordination of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan to such easement, right of way or similar agreement and (iii) consent to any other matter that is not a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision; provided that the Master Servicer (a) has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such easement, right of way or similar agreement or other matter 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 (b) has determined that such easement, right of way or similar agreement or other matter will not cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer may rely on an Opinion of Counsel in making any such determination under clause (b) above.

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 Holder’s rights pursuant to

-196-

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 acquire title to the related Mortgaged Property or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and related Companion Loan(s), if any, as come into and continue in payment default or material non-monetary 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 suffers damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is not 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 Special Servicer 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 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 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 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,

-197-

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, such Companion Holders constituted a single lender (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any related Companion Loan), 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, such Companion Holders constituted a single lender (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any related Companion Loan), 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

-198-

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 6 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 6 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 Holder pursuant to Section 6.08(a) ((A) if no Control Termination Event is continuing and (B) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) 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 notify the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Directing Holder (while no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan), in writing of its intention to so release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall post 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 Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights consent 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 Holder (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.

-199-

(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 may 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 Holder (other than with respect to any 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. 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 three (3) 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

-200-

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 three (3) 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 is not required to review such documents for their sufficiency or enforceability.

With respect to each Servicing Shift Whole Loan, on and after the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, if pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Serviced PSA, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of such Servicing Shift Whole Loan, as applicable, the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer requests delivery to it of the original Mortgage Note, then the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such original Mortgage Note to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or its designee.

(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

-201-

Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan constituting a “specially serviced loan” under any related Non-Serviced PSA). As to each 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, 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, 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 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). 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 is entitled to retain, and is not required to deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a), additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in the form of the following amounts to the extent collected from the related Mortgagor: (i) (x) 100% of Excess Modification Fees related to any modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Mortgage Loans (other than any Specially Serviced Loans) and any related Serviced Companion Loans, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement; provided that such transactions are Master Servicer Decisions; and, provided, further, that the Master Servicer shall receive 0% of any COVID Modification Fees; (ii) 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received on any Mortgage Loans solely to the extent the Master Servicer is processing the underlying transaction (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) (whether or not the consent of the Special Servicer is required); (iii) 100% of any fee actually paid by a Mortgagor in connection with the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan (provided that 50% of the portion of any Excess Modification Fee or waiver fee payable solely in connection with any modification, waiver, amendment or consent executed in connection with a defeasance transaction with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan for which the consent, processing or approval of the Special Servicer is required under clause (xiii) of the definition of “Major Decision” (and specifically excluding any defeasance fees), must be paid by the Master

-202-

Servicer to the Special Servicer); (iv) 100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other similar fees (other than assumption application fees 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); provided that such transactions qualify as Master Servicer Decisions; (v) 50% of all Excess Modification Fees and 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 on any Mortgage Loan (other than a Specially Serviced Loan) (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that such transaction qualifies as a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision; (vi) 100% of charges by the Master Servicer collected for checks returned for insufficient funds related to accounts held by the Master Servicer and (vii) 100% of charges for beneficiary statements or demands actually paid by the related borrowers to the extent such beneficiary statements or demands were prepared by the Master Servicer. 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 is not 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 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.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be entitled to charge and retain reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents and are actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association 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

-203-

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. 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 Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association hereunder (subject to reduction pursuant to the preceding sentence).

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 its 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 may 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.  For the avoidance of doubt, 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.

(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. As to each Specially Serviced Loan and Serviced 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 Serviced REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Loans or Serviced 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 Serviced REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced 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 directly 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. Nothing herein is intended to limit the Special Servicer’s right to enter into a fee sharing agreement with the Directing Certificateholder or any other party. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

In addition, the Special 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,

-205-

further, however, that if 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 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 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 except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. The successor special servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to receive any Workout Fees after termination for cause. A Liquidation Fee will be payable with respect to 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 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 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

-206-

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.

(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 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 (including 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, 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). The Master Servicer may not waive any fee or compensation due to the Special Servicer without the Special Servicer’s consent. The Special Servicer may not waive any fee or compensation due to the Master Servicer without the Master Servicer’s consent.

If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced 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 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

-207-

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 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.

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.

(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.

If the CREFC^® Schedule AL File is not provided by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Certificate Administrator shall request such CREFC^® Schedule AL File from the Master Servicer via e-mail at NoticeAdmin@midlandls.com,

-212-

with a copy to the Depositor at compliance@3650REIT.com. In preparing the CREFC^® Schedule AL File and any Schedule AL Additional File for any given Distribution Date, and without any due diligence, investigation or verification, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely, absent manifest error, on the content, completeness, accuracy and compliance with any applicable requirements of Items 1111(h) and 1125 of Regulation AB and Item 601(b) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act as in effect on the Closing Date of the Initial Schedule AL File, any Initial Schedule AL Additional File and Annex A-1 to the Prospectus. 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 is not 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 Schedule AL Additional File solely by its receipt thereof.

In the absence of manifest error, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely upon, without investigation or inquiry, any information and reports delivered to it by any third party, and the Certificate Administrator may 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(b). 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(b). In the case of information or reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.12(b), 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 will 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 will not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing the reports required by Section 3.12(b) 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).

(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

-213-

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, if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, 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.

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 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 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 (if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) 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

-214-

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 the 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.

Upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (or with respect to any Subordinate Companion Loan, the holder of such Subordinate Companion Loan) that has delivered an Investor Certification to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 forward electronically) at the expense of such Certificateholder or holder of such 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 a Subordinate Companion Loan) 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 Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, may have under this Agreement. In addition, upon the reasonable request of any Controlling Class Certificateholder identified to the Master Servicer

-215-

(in the case of a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) to the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s reasonable satisfaction and if the requested 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 Controlling Class Certificateholder (at the expense of such Controlling Class Certificateholder) any Excluded Information (available to Privileged Persons through the Certificate Administrator’s Website but not accessible to such Controlling Class Certificateholder 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 Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder; 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 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 may conclusively rely on delivery from a Controlling Class Certificateholder of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E that such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan.

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 or beneficial owner shall be given access to, or be provided copies of, the Mortgage Files or Diligence Files.

The Certificate Administrator shall post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website the items and reports identified in clauses (iii)(A) and (B) above on each Distribution Date. In addition, if the Depositor so directs the Certificate Administrator, and on terms acceptable to the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator shall make certain other information and reports related to the Mortgage Loans available through its Internet website.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Excluded Information shall be made available under a separate tab or heading designated “Excluded Information” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (and not under any of the tabs or headings described in items (i) through (vii) above) and made available to Privileged Persons other than any Excluded Controlling Class Holder that is a Borrower Party (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 Loan(s)).

Any Person that is a Borrower Party will only be entitled to access (a) the Distribution Date Statements, and the following items made available to the general public: the Prospectus, this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and the SEC filings on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and (b) in the case of the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, if any such Person becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, upon delivery to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in physical form of an investor certification substantially in the forms of Exhibit P-1D and Exhibit P-1B and upon delivery to the Certificate Administrator in physical form of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1F, which shall include each of the CTSLink User ID associated with such Excluded Controlling Class Holder, all information (other than the Excluded 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 a 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, the Certificate Administrator shall grant such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder access to all information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

-220-

Class Loan(s) and/or Excluded Loan(s) listed in such notice and shall also provide the Certificate Administrator a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1F listing each of the CTSLink 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.

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 and the Certificate Administrator shall 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 or the Certificate Administrator, 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 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.

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall 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

-221-

Excluded Controlling Class Holder, (C) any employees or personnel of such Directing Holder 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.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any report, document or other information made available on its Internet website or its filing of such information, including, but not limited to, filing via EDGAR, and assumes no responsibility therefor, other than with respect to such reports, documents or other information prepared by the Certificate Administrator. In addition, the Certificate Administrator may disclaim responsibility for any information distributed by it or filed by it, as applicable, for which it is not the original source.

In connection with providing access to or copies of the information described in this Section 3.13(e) 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). In the case of a licensed or registered investment advisor acting on behalf of a current or prospective Certificateholder, the Investor Certification shall be executed and delivered by both the investment advisor and such current or prospective Certificateholder.

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 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 applicable.

(f)                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).

In connection with the delivery by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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, as applicable, of when such information, report, notice or document has been posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website.

-226-

information, report, notice or document (i) was previously provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider or (ii) is simultaneously provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider.

(g)               Without limiting the Operating Advisor’s consultation rights pursuant to Section 6.08, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor (which may be via e-mail), prior to an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, Final Asset Status Reports and approved or deemed approved Major Decision Reporting Packages (only with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans) and after an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, Asset Status Reports and Major Decision Reporting Packages. In addition, 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 made available by the Special Servicer to the Directing Holder (unless no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, 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.

(h)               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) such Rating Agency has confirmed in writing to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that it does not intend to use such information in undertaking credit rating surveillance for any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that the Rating Agencies may use information delivered in reliance on the certification provided in 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 Provider’s Website (or another 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website that such Rating Agency has access to).

(i)                 The costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 3.13 by any party to this Agreement shall be borne by such party and are not additional expenses of the Trust.

Section 3.14        Title to REO Property; REO Account. (a)  If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired directly or indirectly through a single member limited liability company

-227-

established for such purpose (and thus becomes REO Property), the deed or certificate of sale must 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 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 qualifying 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 Lower-Tier REMIC 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, 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 funds, all REO Revenues, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of an REO Property. Funds in the REO Account or the Loss of Value Reserve Fund 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,

-228-

with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on the Business Day preceding each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date) or (y) two (2) Business Days after such amounts are received and properly identified, 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 one-month 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, 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 funds as provided in this Section 3.14(c) (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 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, as applicable, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests or the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest, as applicable) 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 has 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, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s)) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests or the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest, as applicable) 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

-229-

deposited on a daily basis (and in no event later than two (2) Business Days 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 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 Holder (with respect to the Directing Holder, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, and if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing)) 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, if applicable, 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

-230-

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. The Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property acquired as an REO Property to be operated and managed in a manner that would, in its good faith and reasonable judgment and to the extent commercially feasible, maximize the Trust’s net after-tax proceeds from such property.

(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 may 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 is not required to have received) an Appraisal and within thirty (30) days of receipt of

-231-

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; 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 shall promptly notify in writing the Master Servicer, 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 may offer to sell to any Person any Specially Serviced Loan (to the extent consistent with any related Intercreditor Agreement and Section 3.16(d)) or may offer to purchase any Specially Serviced Loan, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Noteholder(s) (as a collective whole as if the Trust and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder(s) constituted a single lender), on a net present value basis. In the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, under certain limited circumstances permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent that such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer for the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer will be entitled to sell (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08(a), if no Control Termination Event is continuing and other than in respect of an Excluded Loan) 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 Special Servicer shall be entitled to a Liquidation Fee to the same extent that the Special Servicer would be entitled to such Liquidation Fee had such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan been a Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Directing Holder (other than in respect of any Excluded Loan) not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan, in which

-232-

case, subject to Section 3.16(a)(iv), the Special Servicer is required to accept the highest offer received from any person for such Specially Serviced Loan in an amount at least equal to the outstanding principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest and outstanding costs and expenses and certain other amounts pursuant to this Agreement (the “Par Purchase Price”) or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Par Purchase Price therefor, purchase such Specially Serviced Loan at such Par Purchase Price.

(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 Par 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 Loan, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan or 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 6 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, 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 unless (i) the offer is equal to or greater than the applicable Par Purchase Price and (ii) the offer is the highest offer received; 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 Par 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 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 6-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.

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 and the offer is less than the Par Purchase Price, the Trustee may, at its option, (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, as the case may be, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee may 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

-233-

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 (provided that the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee) 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 Defaulted Loan.

(B)        The Special Servicer is not required to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Directing Holder, subject to the limitations on consultation set forth in Section 6.08(a) (unless a Consultation Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan) 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, the related Companion Holder(s) (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and with respect to any AB Whole Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan(s))). 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 Intercreditor Agreement), 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, the related Companion Holder(s) (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender (and with respect to any AB Whole Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related 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); 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 will 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.

-234-

(b)               (i)  (A)  The Special Servicer may purchase any REO Property at the Par 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, the Directing Holder (other than in respect of an Excluded Loan while no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intention to (i) purchase any REO Property at the Par 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 Par 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 (i) the offer is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price and (ii) the offer is the highest offer received; 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 Par 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.

(C)        The Special Servicer is not required 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, 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, 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

-235-

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 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. 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, the Asset Representations Reviewer 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, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Trustee will 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

-236-

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 any Serviced Whole Loan, such determination shall be made by the Trustee if the offeror is an Interested Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not 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 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. 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 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 may 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.

-237-

(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 Subordinate Companion Loan(s) 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 Subordinate Companion Loan(s) 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 Subordinate Companion Loan, repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or otherwise ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the related Subordinate Companion Loan(s) will no longer be subject to this Agreement. In addition, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, if the related Serviced AB 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 is not required to sell the related Subordinate Companion Loan(s) together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan. If no Control Appraisal Period exists, the Special Servicer may not sell the Subordinate Companion Loan(s) without the prior consent of the holder of the Subordinate Companion Loan(s).  If a Control Appraisal Period is continuing, the Special Servicer has the right (but not the obligation) to sell the Subordinate Companion Loan(s) without the consent of the holder of the Subordinate Companion Loan(s).

(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)               If 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

-238-

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, any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, 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 on the 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required by the preceding sentence shall in no way affect the 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 Section 3.17 or to comply with the terms of 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

-239-

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 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 will 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 Section 3.17 or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election.

The aggregate of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall with respect to the Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date will be allocated on such Distribution Date among each class of Certificates, pro rata, in accordance with their respective Interest Accrual Amounts for that Distribution Date.

(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)          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).

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),

-240-

Section 3.18(i) and Section 6.08, but subject to any other conditions set forth thereunder (including, without limitation, the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to this subsection (a) with respect to any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision) 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 to advise or consult with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 Master Servicer shall not provide any consent or make any decision, including agreeing to any modification, waiver or amendment to the terms of a Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan unless such consent or decision constitutes a Master Servicer Decision, unless, with respect to a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan that the Master Servicer shall process such request but in all events subject to the prior written consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, which consent shall be deemed given if the Special Servicer does not respond within ten (10) days of delivery to the Special Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written recommendations and analysis, and all information that is in the Master Servicer’s possession reasonably requested by the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent, plus the time period provided to any Serviced Companion Loan Holder under the related Intercreditor Agreement to consent to such Major Decision). Subject to Section 6.08, the Special Servicer may waive, modify or amend (or consent to waive, modify or amend) any provision of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable; provided 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (whichever is processing such action) shall provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer (as applicable), the Operating Advisor and the Directing Holder (only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), 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 3.18(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, the Special Servicer shall (A) obtain the consent of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08(a) ((i) if no Control Termination Event is continuing and (ii) other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan) or (B) consult with the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (only during a Control Termination Event while no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) (which consent or consultation shall be coordinated

-241-

through the Special Servicer). 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, and subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to this subsection (a), the Master Servicer, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced 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).

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall enter into, or structure (including, without limitation, by way of the application of credits, discounts, forgiveness or otherwise), any modification, waiver, amendment, work-out, consent or approval with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in a manner that would have the effect of placing amounts payable as compensation, or otherwise reimbursable, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in a higher priority than that which is provided in the allocation and payment priorities described under Section 3.02(b) of this Agreement or in the related Intercreditor Agreement (if any).

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 Holder, if permitted by the applicable Rating Agency) and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities 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 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 the 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 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.

Subject to Section 6.08, if a Mortgagor satisfies the requirements set forth in the definition of “COVID Modification”, the Special Servicer may enter into a COVID Modification with the related Mortgagor. In exchange for a fee as described below, the Special Servicer shall be responsible for processing any COVID Modification and any related COVID Modification Agreement for any COVID Modified Loan.

Mortgagors may request payment forbearance because of COVID-19 related financial hardship. The Special Servicer shall be allowed to grant a forbearance on a Mortgage Loan related to the global COVID-19 Emergency only if (i) prior to October 1, 2021 (or prior to a later date provided by the IRS in any future guidance), the period of forbearance granted, when added to any prior periods of forbearance granted before or after the Trust acquired such Mortgage Loan (whether or not such prior grants of forbearance were covered by Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended by Revenue Procedure 2021-12)), does not exceed six months (or such longer period of time as may be allowed by future guidance that is binding on federal income tax authorities) or the applicable forbearance program pursuant to which the related forbearance was granted is otherwise identical or similar to those described in Section 2.07 of the Revenue Procedure and such forbearance is covered by Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended by Revenue Procedure 2021-12), (ii) such forbearance is permitted under another provision of this Agreement and the requirements under such provision are satisfied, or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the effect that such forbearance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

Any fees or other charges charged by the Special Servicer in connection with processing any COVID Modification or related COVID Modification Agreement with respect to any COVID Modified Loan (in the aggregate with any other COVID Modification or COVID Modification Agreement with respect to such COVID Modified Loan) (such fee, a “COVID Modification Fee”) shall not exceed an amount equal to $45,000 (plus reasonable and customary attorney’s fees and expenses, out of pocket third party fees and expenses and filing fees) and shall only be borne by the related Mortgagor, not the Trust.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process any of the foregoing matters that are Major Decisions (other than a COVID Modification) or Special Servicer Decisions with respect to any Performing Loan. If the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision with respect to a Non-

-243-

Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall obtain the consent (or deemed consent) of the Special Servicer as provided in Section 3.18(b).

(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 (or any Non-Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which such determination derives from the Special Servicer’s consideration of a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision that is subject to its processing and/or consent rights pursuant to Section 3.18(a)) 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 related 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 (x) the provisions of this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (y) with respect to any Major Decision, with the approval of the Directing Holder (if no Control Termination Event is continuing) or upon consultation with the Directing Holder; and (z) additionally, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, 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; provided that in the case of any release or substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance), the Special Servicer shall obtain 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 (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor (telephonically or electronically), on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing or for which its consent is required 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.

The Master Servicer, prior to taking any action with respect to any Major Decision or any Special Servicer Decision, shall refer the request to the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall process the request directly (other than any Major Decision described in subclauses (i) and (ii) of clause (xiii) of the definition of “Major Decision” with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, which shall be processed by the Master Servicer subject to the consent rights of the Special Servicer). However, if the Master Servicer and Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request, the Master Servicer shall prepare and submit its written analysis and recommendation to the Special Servicer with all information that is in the Master Servicer’s possession that the Special Servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant its consent, and in all cases the Special Servicer may approve or disapprove any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes such a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision.

-244-

The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to the extent reasonably 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 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 remaining term of the ground lease and (i) if no Control Termination Event is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder and, ((i) if no Control Termination Event is continuing and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, 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 Loans 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 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, the Master Servicer (subject to the Special Servicer’s consent rights pursuant to Section 3.18(a) if any such waiver, modification or amendment constitutes a Major Decision or Special Servicer 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 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 to occur. 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 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 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.

-245-

(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 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 (during an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), the Directing Holder (other than during a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan), the applicable Companion Holder, the related Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Mortgage Loan Seller is not a Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Holder) 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)), and the Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan and if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), 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 Holder), any related Companion Holder 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)). The party responsible for delivering notice 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. The Custodian shall make available copies of each agreement whereby the modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan is effected available for review during normal business hours at the office of the Custodian. 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 Z or Class R Certificates) upon request. 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 3.18(a)) or the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 3.18(a)) 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

-246-

immediately following the Master Servicer or the 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 of Exhibit EE. The notice contemplated in the preceding sentence shall set forth, to the extent the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, has the requisite information or can reasonably obtain such information, (1) the amount of Additional Debt that was incurred in the related Collection Period, (2) the total debt service coverage ratio calculated on the basis of such Mortgage Loan and Additional Debt, and (3) the aggregate LTV Ratio calculated on the basis of such Mortgage Loan and Additional Debt. If 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 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 KK shall no longer be required hereunder. From time to time, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and Certificate Administrator may agree on a different delivery time and format for the information set forth in this paragraph.

(h)               The Master Servicer shall process all defeasance transactions, subject to the Special Servicer’s consent with respect to any Major Decision relating to a defeasance. 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 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

-247-

Confirmation from each Rating Agency and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities; 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 for any Mortgage Loan that (together with any other Crossed Underlying Loans in a Crossed Mortgage Loan Group with such Mortgage Loan) is: (i) a Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $35,000,000, (ii) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of all Mortgage Loans and (iii) a Mortgage Loan that is not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requiring the Mortgagor to pay for the items specified in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) in the preceding sentence would be inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, such reasonable costs shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as and to the extent set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(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 (subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to Section 3.18(a) with respect to any such action that constitutes a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision) reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause 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, 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans that are subject to defeasance and identified on Schedule 3, the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or the originator of the related Mortgage Loan) has transferred to a third party or has retained on behalf of itself or its Affiliate the right to establish or designate the successor borrower and/or to purchase or cause to be purchased the related defeasance collateral (collectively, the “Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). If the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan that provides for Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations in the related Mortgage 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 (and/or any other party identified in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement). Until such time as the related Mortgage Loan Seller provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be

-248-

delivered to the related Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the notice provisions hereof. If the successor borrower is not designated or formed by the related Mortgage Loan Seller 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 “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 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).

(k)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, unless it has received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities (the cost of which shall be paid by the related Mortgagor, if so allowed by the terms of the related loan documents and otherwise paid out of general collections) grant or accept any consent, approval or direction regarding the termination of the related property manager or the designation of any replacement property manager, with respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan that (i) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance or (ii) has an unpaid principal balance that is at least equal to five percent (5%) of the then aggregate principal balance of all Mortgage Loans or $35,000,000.

(l)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with any modification, waiver, consent or amendment in connection with any defeasance transaction contemplated in subclause (ii) of clause (xiii) of the definition of “Major Decision”, the Master Servicer shall not approve any such modification, waiver or amendment or consent thereto without first having received a copy of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer that such modification, waiver, consent or amendment will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

Section 3.19        Transfer of Servicing Between Master Servicer and Special Servicer; Recordkeeping; Asset Status Report. (a)  Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage

-249-

Loan) or Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly give notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Operating Advisor and the Directing Holder (in the case of the Directing Holder, (i) if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and (ii) other than with respect to an Excluded Loan) thereof, and the Master Servicer shall deliver the related Mortgage File and Servicing File to the Special Servicer and concurrently provide a copy of such Servicing File, exclusive of all Privileged Communications, to the Operating Advisor. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise available to the Master Servicer without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its functions hereunder with respect thereto. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each related Servicing Transfer Event (or, in the case of clauses (b) or (d) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event, within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice from the Special Servicer of such Servicing Transfer Event when the Special Servicer makes the determination) and in any event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Directing Holder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan and only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), a copy of the notice of such Servicing Transfer Event provided by the Master Servicer to the Special Servicer, or by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer, pursuant to this Section 3.19. If no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to each Controlling Class Certificateholder a copy of the notice of such Servicing Transfer Event provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.19.

Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Loan (other than an REO Loan) has become current and has remained current for three consecutive Periodic Payments (provided that (i) no additional Servicing Transfer Event is foreseeable in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, and (ii) for such purposes taking into account any modification or amendment of such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan), and that no other Servicing Transfer Event is continuing with respect thereto, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder and the Directing Holder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan and only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) and shall return the related Mortgage File and Servicing File to the Master Servicer (or copies thereof if copies only were delivered to the Special Servicer) and upon giving such notice, and returning such Mortgage File and Servicing File to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service such Corrected Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Master Servicer to service and administer such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan shall recommence.

(b)               In servicing any Specially Serviced Loans and Serviced Companion Loans, the Special Servicer will provide to the Custodian originals of documents included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the related Mortgage File to the extent within its possession (with a copy of each such original to the Master Servicer), and provide the Master

-250-

Servicer with copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan information including correspondence with the related Mortgagor.

(c)                Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.12(c), the Master Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to each of the Specially Serviced Loans, Serviced Companion Loans and REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information in its possession with respect to such records to enable the Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement; provided that this statement shall not be construed to require the Master Servicer to produce any additional reports.

(d)                No later than (i) sixty (60) days after a Servicing Transfer Event for a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, if applicable, any related Companion Loan (if any Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan) and (ii) prior to taking action with respect to any Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Major Decision) with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format a report (the “Asset Status Report”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan and the related Mortgaged Property (the “Initial Delivery Date”) and will be required to prepare one or more additional Asset Status Reports with respect to any such Specially Serviced Loan subsequent to the issuance of a Final Asset Status Report to the extent that during the course of the resolution of such Specially Serviced Loan material changes in the strategy reflected in the initial Final Asset Status Report (or subsequent Final Asset Status Report) are necessary to reflect the then current recommendation as to how the Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise liquidated in accordance with the Servicing Standard (each such report a “Subsequent Asset Status Report”). Each Asset Status Report shall be delivered in electronic form to the Master Servicer, the Directing Holder (but other than in respect of an Excluded Loan and while no Consultation Termination Event exists), the Operating Advisor (but, (i) other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, only during an Operating Advisor Consultation Event and (ii) with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan only to the extent it is also subject to a Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement), 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)) and, with respect to any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the master servicer of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold or to the related Companion Holder. The Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor of whether any Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor is a Final Asset Status Report. Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable based on the information that was delivered to the Special Servicer in connection with the transfer of servicing pursuant to the Servicing Transfer Event:

(i)                  a summary of the status of such Specially Serviced Loan and any negotiations with the related Mortgagor;

(ii)                 a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the Special Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other

-251-

collateral for the related Specially Serviced Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

(iii)                the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the related Mortgaged Property;

(iv)                (A) the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how such Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status (including the modification of a monetary term, and any workout, restructure or debt forgiveness) and returned to the Master Servicer for regular servicing or foreclosed or otherwise realized upon (including any proposed sale of a Defaulted Loan or REO Property), (B) a description of any such proposed or taken actions, and (C) the alternative courses of action that were or are being considered by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed or taken actions;

(v)                 the status of any foreclosure actions or other proceedings undertaken with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan, any proposed workouts and the status of any negotiations with respect to such workouts, and an assessment of the likelihood of additional defaults under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan;

(vi)                a description of any amendment, modification or waiver of a material term of any ground lease (or any space lease or air rights lease, if applicable) or franchise agreement;

(vii)               the decision that the Special Servicer made, or intends or proposes to make, including a narrative analysis setting forth the Special Servicer’s rationale for its proposed decision, including its rejection of the alternatives;

(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.

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

If within ten (10) days (or, in the case of an Asset Status Report prepared prior to making a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) days) of receiving an Asset Status Report (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan and only if no Control Termination Event is continuing), the Directing Holder does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing (or, in the case of an Asset Status Report prepared prior to making a

-252-

determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) days), or if the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the disapproval by the Directing Holder (communicated to the Special Servicer within ten (10) days) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders), 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 Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan other than an Excluded Loan and if no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder disapproves such Asset Status Report within ten (10) days (or, in the case of an Asset Status Report prepared prior to making a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) 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 Holder (if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and other than if an Excluded Loan), the Operating Advisor (but only during 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)) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder; provided, however, that, 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 Noteholder, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of the ten (10) day period (or, in the case of an Asset Status Report prepared prior to making a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) day period) if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of the ten (10) day period (or, in the case of an Asset Status Report prepared prior to making a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) day period) would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Noteholder (if applicable) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort, if no Control Termination Event is continuing and other than if an Excluded Loan is involved, to contact the Directing Certificateholder. With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Holder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above in this Section 3.19(d) until the Directing Holder shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) days or, in the case of an Asset Status Report prepared prior to making a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) 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; provided that, if the Directing Holder 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 procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “Directing Holder Approval Process”. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and

-253-

implement such report; provided that such report has 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 (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with respect to the Directing Holder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor (telephonically or electronically), on a non-binding basis, in connection with an Asset Status Report for an Excluded Loan that includes a Major Decision that it is processing or for which its consent is required 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 Holder hereunder or under a related Intercreditor Agreement or failure of the Directing Holder 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, (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, (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.

For so long as no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall deliver each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor after the completion of the Directing Holder Approval Process. The Operating Advisor’s review of any such Final Asset Status Report shall only provide background information to support the Operating Advisor’s duties concerning the Special Servicer’s compliance with the Servicing Standard, and the Operating Advisor shall not provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of such Final Asset Status Report.

During the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of the applicable 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 extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are Controlling Class Certificateholders), as a collective whole. The Special Servicer shall consider such non-binding alternative courses of action, if any, and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder) in connection with the Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report that is provided while an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing. 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 for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder), to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or Directing Holder’s input and/or recommendations

-254-

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(s), as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of each 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 Holder, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor and the Directing Holder 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”.

During a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan), the Directing Holder will have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.19. During a Control Termination Event but while no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall send the Directing Holder (except with respect to any Excluded Loan), and, during an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Status Report and the Operating Advisor and the Directing Holder shall consult with the Special Servicer (telephonically or electronically) and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. The Directing Holder (or, if the Directing Holder is the Directing Certificateholder, other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) (in each case, during a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan)), will 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 on a non-binding basis 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 Holder during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder.

The Special Servicer shall implement the Final 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Directing Holder shall not have any consultation or approval rights with respect to an Asset Status Report that relates to an Excluded Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Operating Advisor, any Serviced Companion Noteholder (or its representative) or the Directing Holder that would require or cause the Special Servicer to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard or any Intercreditor Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement or 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 Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or result in the imposition of “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, or

-255-

materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement.

(e)                (i)  Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of the events described in clause (c) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event (without regard to the 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 that the Master Servicer has in its possession 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)                  During a Control Termination Event, upon receiving notice of the occurrence of an event described in clause (c) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event (without regard to the 30-day period 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)                If no Control Termination Event is continuing, 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 Loan), the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format to the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) 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 Asset Status Report with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan if no Control Appraisal Period is continuing (to the extent approved by the related Directing Holder)). With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, if, while no Control Termination Event is continuing, 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, however, that if the Directing Certificateholder 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 Certificateholder is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders 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

-256-

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 Subordinate Companion Loan(s) is not subject to a Control Appraisal Period, which Final Asset Status Report has been approved or deemed approved by the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan(s) 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, during a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder or a recommendation of the Operating Advisor.

Section 3.20        Sub-Servicing Agreements. (a)  The Master Servicer and 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 the 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 under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.20(g)); (iii) provides that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders 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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, any successor master servicer or special servicer or any Certificateholder (or the related Companion Holder, if applicable) will 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) 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan; (vii) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to take any action constituting a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision without the consent of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (subject to the rights of the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08) or any Mortgagor requested action that is neither a Major Decision nor a Special Servicer Decision without the Master Servicer's consent; (viii) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing

-257-

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 (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, Certificate Administrator or 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. 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 the Special Servicer, as applicable (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 the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee (i) copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements entered into by it, in each case, promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents and (ii) upon request of the Trustee, any amendments or modifications to such Sub-Servicing Agreements. 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 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.

-258-

(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 or the Special Servicer’s obligations, as applicable, under this Agreement.

(c)                As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 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. 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it in accordance with the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(d)               If 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Special Servicer), the Special Servicer (with respect to the Master Servicer), holders of the Companion Loans serviced hereunder and the Certificateholders for the performance of each party’s respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer engaged by such party 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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, if the Trustee or any other Person becomes successor master servicer, the Trustee or such successor master servicer

-259-

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 (a) the Limited Subservicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021, between Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC (the “Limited Subservicing Agreement”) and (b) each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement and (i) 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC’s rights and obligations under the Limited Subservicing Agreement and 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 such Limited Subservicing Agreement or any such 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 Limited Subservicing Agreement and 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 that would increase the obligations or limit the rights of 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC or the Initial Sub-Servicer, as applicable, hereunder and/or under the Limited Subservicing Agreement or the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, without the prior written consent of 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC or the Initial Sub-Servicer, as applicable (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, if no Control Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan, the consent of the Directing Holder, except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

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, as applicable, without the consent of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

Section 3.21        Interest Reserve Account. (a)  On the P&I Advance Date occurring in January (except during a leap year) and February of each calendar year commencing in 2021 (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 immediately following the Distribution Date occurring in the month preceding the month in which P&I Advance Date occurs at the related Net Mortgage Rate, to the

-260-

extent a full Periodic Payment or P&I Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited pursuant to this sentence in any particular January and/or February, “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, 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 the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Within a reasonable time upon request from the Directing Holder or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, but no more often than on a monthly basis (or, with respect to communications between the Directing Holder and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on a more frequent basis that is commercially reasonable as mutually agreed to between the Directing Holder and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable), 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 Holder ((i) if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) 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 Holder. (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, 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. In any case, such notification may be delivered via electronic mail.

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 execute and 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) shall rely on such selection unless the Controlling Class Certificateholders entitled to appoint the Directing

-261-

Certificateholder, by Certificate Balance, or such Directing Certificateholder has 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 Directing Certificateholder or the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder. Upon the resignation of a Directing Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall request the Controlling Class Certificateholders to select a new Directing Certificateholder. If (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 may 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 may rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Controlling Class Certificateholder and the Directing Certificateholder.

(d)               If 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, will 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, if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, a list of each Controlling Class Certificateholder (or each Certificate Owner of the Controlling Class, if applicable), 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 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, 3650 Real Estate Investment Trust 2 LLC 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.

-262-

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 rely on the preceding sentence with respect to the identity of the Directing Certificateholder.

(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 Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Directing Holder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (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 Holder may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates, including, without limitation, the Controlling Class, over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Directing Holder will have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder, to the extent the Directing Certificateholder 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.

(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 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 may rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity and contact information of the Controlling Class Certificateholder and the Directing.

(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 Directing 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 or provide the name, contact information and address of the then-current Directing Certificateholder within two (2) Business Days of a request from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Operating Advisor or any Certificateholder and provide such information to the requesting party and such requesting party may rely on such information.

(l)                 At any time that the Controlling Class Certificateholder is the holder of a majority of the Class F-RR Certificates and the Class F-RR Certificates are the Controlling Class,

-263-

such Controlling Class Certificateholder 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 electronic mail to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com), the Trustee, 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-RR 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 Certificateholder as set forth herein (including the rights to appoint a Directing Certificateholder, waive its right 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 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-RR 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) 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.

If a Control Termination Event has occurred due to a reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class F-RR Certificates (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class in accordance with Section 4.05(a)) 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-RR Certificates to less than 25% of the Original Certificate Balance thereof.”

-264-

If 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 that an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred due to the reduction of the aggregate Certificate Balance of the HRR Certificates to 25% or below of their aggregate Original Certificate Balance, taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts, such special notice shall state: “An Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred because the aggregate Certificate Balance of the HRR Certificates has been reduced to 25% or below of their aggregate Original Certificate Balance.”

The Directing Holder shall not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded Loan. In respect of the servicing of any such Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Excluded Loan.

Section 3.24        Intercreditor Agreements. (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and the 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 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.

(b)               Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will 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

-265-

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 applicable, be required to consult with or obtain the consent of a new Directing Certificateholder or a new Controlling Class Certificateholder 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 or a new Controlling Class Certificateholder.

(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 or the Directing Certificateholder 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 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 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 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, (a)(i) with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan the Special Servicer (with respect to any Major Decision (other than with respect to actions described in subclauses (i) or (ii) of clause (xiii) of the

-266-

definition of “Major Decisions”, which the Master Servicer shall process without first seeking the agreement of the Special Servicer) or Special Servicer Decision, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that, in connection with any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a Major Decision (other than with respect to actions described in subclauses (i) or (ii) of clause (xiii) of the definition of “Major Decisions”, which the Master Servicer shall process without first seeking the agreement of the Special Servicer) or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer shall process and determine whether to consent, subject to the consent of the Special Servicer, to such modification, waiver or amendment) or the Master Servicer (with respect to any modification, waiver or amendment that does not constitute a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision), or (ii) with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall (1) to the extent the required notice address has been provided, provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Directing Holder 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 Directing Holder (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 continuance of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (2) 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 Directing Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall 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 Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice

-267-

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 remittance to the holder of the related Companion Loan is required earlier than two (2) Business Days after receipt by the Master Servicer of the related Periodic Payment without the consent of the Master Servicer.

(h)               [Reserved].

(i)                 With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, if any Serviced Companion Loan becomes the subject of an “asset review” (or such analogous term defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the asset representations reviewer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other party to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with such Asset Review by providing the asset representations reviewer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably requested by the asset representations reviewer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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.

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 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 is not required to send such request directly to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.25.

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

-268-

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 for such matter at such time (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency and the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, if the Master Servicer is processing the action requiring Rating Agency Confirmation) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, REO Mortgage Loans and Non-Specially Serviced Loans if the Special Servicer is processing the action requiring Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such Non-Specially Serviced Loans), as the case may be, may then take such action if the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, if the Master Servicer is processing the action requiring Rating Agency Confirmation) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, REO Mortgage Loans and Non-Specially Serviced Loans if the Special Servicer is processing the action requiring Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such Non-Specially Serviced Loans), 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) the replacement master servicer or special servicer is listed on S&P’s Select Servicer List as a “U.S. Commercial Mortgage Master Servicer” or “U.S. Commercial Mortgage Special Servicer,” as applicable, if S&P 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 ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization 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).

-269-

(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 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) the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan and, during 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 Loan when a Major Decision Reporting Package has been delivered (which review shall be performed in accordance with Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), Section 3.18(a), Section 3.19(d), Section 3.26 and Section 6.08), (ii) all reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and that are relevant to the Operating Advisor’s obligations hereunder and (iii) each Asset Status Report (during the 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. In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, although the Operating Advisor may have certain consultation duties with the Master Servicer with respect to certain Major Decisions processed by the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor will have no obligations or responsibility at any time to review or assess the actions of the Master Servicer for compliance with the Servicing Standard, and the Operating Advisor is not required to consider such Master Servicer actions in connection with any Operating Advisor Annual Report.

(b)               The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep confidential any information appropriately labeled “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 the review and/or approval of any Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report) or otherwise in connection with this transaction, except under the circumstances described in Section 3.26(f) and subject to any Privileged Information Exception or law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such labeled 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 (i) any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, and other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer or made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year, (ii) for so long as no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, any related Final

-270-

Asset Status Report or approved or deemed approved Major Decision Reporting Package provided to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer, and (iii) during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, any Asset Status Report and any Major Decision Reporting Package provided to the Operating Advisor with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Operating Advisor shall (but only if any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan at any time during the prior calendar year or if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event occurred during the prior calendar year and the Operating Advisor was entitled to consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any Major Decision) deliver to the Special Servicer, 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 such report 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), setting forth whether the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer is operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Loans (and, during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, also with respect to Major Decisions on Non-Specially Serviced Loans) during the prior calendar year on an “asset-level basis”; 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; 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 deviation 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. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 3.26(c), 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 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)), with a copy of the final Operating Advisor Annual Report to the Special Servicer; provided, further, 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

-271-

Operating Advisor Annual Report, the term “asset-level basis” refers to the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties as they relate to the Specially Serviced Loans (and, during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, also with respect to Major Decisions on Non-Specially Serviced Loans for which a Major Decision Reporting Package has been delivered to the Operating Advisor), 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, 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) pursuant to this Agreement.

(ii)                  If 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 known to the Operating Advisor in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report and the Operating Advisor is not subject to any liability arising from such limitations or prohibitions. The Operating Advisor may conclusively rely on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any such reliance thereunder.

(iii)                  The ability to perform the duties of the Operating Advisor and the quality and the depth of any Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be dependent upon the timely receipt of information prepared or made available by others and the accuracy and the completeness of such information. In addition, in no event will the Operating Advisor have the power to compel any transaction party to take, or refrain from taking, any action. The Operating Advisor may conclusively rely on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any such reliance thereunder.

(iv)                  If 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 is not subject to any liability arising from such limitations or prohibitions.

(d)               (i)  After the calculation has been finalized (and if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing prior to the utilization) by the Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated by the Special Servicer, (ii) Collateral Deficiency Amounts calculated by the Special Servicer, (iii) Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated by the Special Servicer or (iv) 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 no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such

calculations and any supporting or additional materials recalculate and review for accuracy and consistency with this Agreement 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), if the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations of the Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount or net present value (in each case, as calculated by the Special Servicer) 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 material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations to the Operating Advisor. 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 Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount that is in the Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer. If 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. The Certificate Administrator may conclusively rely on such third party calculation.

(e)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Operating Advisor’s review will be limited to an after-the-action review of any assessment of compliance, attestation report, Major Decision Reporting Package relating to a Specially Serviced Loan, Final Asset Status Report and other information requested by and 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 will have no involvement with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, workouts, modifications, consents, waivers, Insurance Policies, mortgagor substitutions, lease changes, additional borrower debt, defeasances, property management changes, releases from escrow, assumptions or 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 calculations as described 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.

(f)                The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” confidential and shall not, without the prior

-273-

written consent of the Special Servicer and (for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing) the Directing Holder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and other than any Excluded Loan) disclose such Privileged Information to any other Person (including any Certificateholders, other than the Directing Certificateholder), 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 “Privileged Information” from the Operating Advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any other Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and, unless a Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, a Servicing Shift Whole Loan or 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. In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, while the Operating Advisor may serve in a similar capacity with respect to Other Securitizations that involve the same parties or borrower involved in this securitization, the knowledge of the Operating Advisor gained from performing operating advisor functions for such Other Securitizations are not imputed to the Operating Advisor performing the obligations hereunder. 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 Distribution Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan and each REO Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan is computed. The Operating Advisor Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii).

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.

-274-

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), but, with respect to the period when the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates have 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; provided, however, that to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is incurred after the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to such Certificates, such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable in full to the Operating Advisor as a Trust Fund expense. 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 to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision in accordance with the Servicing Standard, 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 (with limited exceptions) or consultation rights as Operating Advisor with respect to: (i) any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Property or (ii) with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, if no Control Appraisal Period is continuing; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor will not be entitled to an Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

(i)                 During a Consultation Termination Event, the Operating Advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Cumulative 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 applicable 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 applicable Certificates in such regard. Upon the vote or written direction of Holders of at least 75% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Cumulative Appraisal

-275-

Reduction Amounts are allocable), the Trustee shall immediately 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 prior written notice to the Operating Advisor, and the proposed successor operating advisor will be appointed.

(j)                 During the continuance of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of Certificateholders representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to 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 shall, as soon as possible, 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 (only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), any Companion Holder and the Certificateholders.

(k)               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 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 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.

(l)                 If no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will 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 shall 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.

(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,

-276-

the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Directing Certificateholder, if applicable, if the Operating Advisor has secured a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor, (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and (c) receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. If no successor operating advisor has been appointed and has accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Directing Certificateholder of the resigning Operating Advisor’s notice of resignation, the resigning Operating Advisor may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. No such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor has 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(m).

(n)               If 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 by their acceptance of their Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed that (i) subject to Section 6.04, the Operating Advisor will have no liability to any Certificateholder for any actions taken or for refraining from taking any actions under this Agreement, (ii) the Operating Advisor will act solely as a contracting party to the extent set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the Operating Advisor will have no (A) fiduciary duty, or (B) other duty except with respect to its specific obligations under this Agreement, and will have no duty to any particular Class of Certificates or particular Certificateholders or any third parties, and (iv) the Operating Advisor does not constitute an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

(p)               With respect to the determination of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, or has terminated, each of the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor may 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 during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, each of the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor will have no obligation to perform any such duties until the receipt of such notice or actual knowledge that the Certificate Administrator has posted notice of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.23(m).

(q)               Neither the Operating Advisor nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates.

-277-

(r)                 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(m) of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor operating advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.26(r). 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.

(s)                The Operating Advisor 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 Agreement to the extent such agents or subcontractors satisfy clauses (iii), (iv) and (vi) of the definition of “Eligible Operating Advisor”; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with a Mortgagor, Sponsor, 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, 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 may 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.

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 is not 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.

-278-

(c)                In the case of each of the Serviced Companion Loans, upon the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer pursuant to Article VII, 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. If a Companion Holder transfers a Companion Loan without notice to the Companion Paying Agent, the Companion Paying Agent will have no liability for any misdirected payment in such Companion Loan and will 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 will 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 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)  If 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 PSA, 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

-279-

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 Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer shall, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, forward such materials to the Directing Certificateholder for its consent, if such consent is required. The Special Servicer may (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event is continuing) waive any timing or delivery requirements related to such sale to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(e)                With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Directing Certificateholder, if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, or the Special Servicer, during a Consultation 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 Intercreditor Agreement) under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(f)                With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and Serviced Whole Loan, this Agreement is subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement and incorporates by reference all provisions required to be included herein pursuant to such Intercreditor 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 PSA 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 (x) and (xii) 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.

-280-

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. 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 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 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 will have any obligations to separately label and deliver any Excluded Information in accordance with this Section 3.30 until such party has received written notice with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan in the form of Exhibit P-1B to this Agreement. Nothing set forth in this Agreement prohibits 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 on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, 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 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, such 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).

Section 3.31        Credit Risk Retention.

(a)                The Retaining Sponsor will be required to enter into an agreement with GACC and CREFI (the “Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreement”).

-281-

(b)               None of the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall be obligated to monitor, supervise or enforce the performance of any party under the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreement.

Section 3.32        Resignation Upon Prohibited Risk Retention Affiliation. Under the Risk Retention Rule, any Subsequent Third Party Purchaser is prohibited from being Risk Retention Affiliated with, among other persons, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer. As long as the prohibition exists under the Risk Retention Rule, upon the occurrence of (i) a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, obtaining actual knowledge that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is or has become a Risk Retention Affiliate of a Subsequent Third Party Purchaser (an “Impermissible TPP Affiliate”), (ii) the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee receiving written notice by any other party to this Agreement, the Subsequent Third Party Purchaser, any Sponsor or any Underwriter or Placement Agent that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is or has become an Impermissible TPP Affiliate, or (iii) an officer or manager of the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer that is responsible for performing the duties of the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer obtaining actual knowledge that it is or has become a Risk Retention Affiliate of or Risk Retention Affiliated with any Subsequent Third Party Purchaser or any other party to this Agreement (an “Impermissible Operating Advisor Affiliate” or “Impermissible Asset Representations Reviewer Affiliate”, respectively; and either of an Impermissible TPP Affiliate, an Impermissible Operating Advisor Affiliate and an Impermissible Asset Representations Reviewer Affiliate being an “Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate”), then, in each such case the Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate shall promptly notify the Retaining Sponsor and the other parties to this Agreement and resign in accordance with Section 3.26, Section 6.05, Section 8.07 or Section 12.03, as applicable. The resigning Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each other party to this Agreement, the Trust and each Rating Agency in connection with such resignation as and to the extent required under this Agreement; provided, however, that if the affiliation causing an Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate is the result of the Subsequent 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 Trust.

Section 3.33              Litigation Control.

(a)                With respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than any Excluded Special Servicer Loan), any Serviced Companion Loan or any related REO Loan or related REO Property, the Special Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, direct, manage, prosecute and/or defend any action brought by a Mortgagor, guarantor, other obligor on the related Mortgage 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 or any predecessor master servicer or special servicer, and represent the interests of the Trust in any litigation relating to the rights and obligations (or the enforcement of obligations) of the Trust, or of the Mortgagor or other Borrower-Related Party

-282-

under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or other collateral securing such Mortgage Loan (or related 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 reasonably 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)               With respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan and 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 Section 3.33(a) above, 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 Trust-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 such lawsuit, consult with, and take direction from, the Special Servicer with respect to material decisions and material monetary settlements related to the interests of the Trust in such Trust-Related Litigation, including but not limited to the selection of counsel.

-285-

any material Trust-Related Litigation, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Holder (prior to a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively, and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), to the extent required in Section 3.33(c)) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as representative of the Trustee of the Trust.

(k)               Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Section 3.33, this Section 3.33 shall not apply to any Trust-Related Litigation and shall have no force and effect with respect thereto, in the event that either (i) at the time such Trust-Related Litigation is commenced or at any time during the continuance of such Trust-Related Litigation, 3650 REIT Loan Servicing 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 Placement Agent, any Underwriter, or any of their respective affiliates is an adverse party (with respect to the Trust, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) in such Trust-Related Litigation or holds any interest which is adverse to the Trust, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by each of the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Depositor, Sponsor, Mortgage Loan Seller, Placement Agent, Underwriter, or affiliate that is such a party or holds such interest.

Section 3.34        Certain Matters with Respect to Joint Mortgage Loans.

(a)                If a Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan (a “Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller”) repurchases, or substitutes for, the Mortgage Note(s) (as such term is defined in this Section 3.34(a)) (a “Repurchased Note”) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, but the other Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan does not repurchase, or substitute for, the Mortgage Note(s) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, the provisions of this Section 3.34 shall apply prior to the adoption, pursuant to Section 13.01(l), of any amendment to this Agreement that provides otherwise, and except as provided herein, such Mortgage Loan shall continue to be serviced under this Agreement. Each Mortgage Loan Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan has agreed pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that the terms set forth in this Section 3.34 with respect to the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan shall apply if one or more of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan has been repurchased or, by way of substitution, otherwise removed from the Trust and at least one other Mortgage Note related to such Joint Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust until such time as all of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan are no longer included in the Trust.

-286-

For purposes of this Section 3.34, Section 13.01(l) and Section 13.08(a) only, “Mortgage Note” shall mean with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each original promissory note that collectively represents the Mortgage Note (as defined in Article I) with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and shall not be a collective reference to such promissory notes.

(b)               Custody of and record title under the Mortgage Loan documents with respect to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan shall be held exclusively by the Custodian 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 3.34(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 3.34(b)(ii). If any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.34 applies becomes an REO Loan, payments or any other amounts received with respect to any such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be collected and shall be applied upon receipt by the Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.34(b)(ii). Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan subject to this Section 3.34 shall be allocated to each related Mortgage Note, pro rata based upon the respective unpaid principal balances thereof.

(ii)                If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives an aggregate payment of less than the aggregate amount due under any such Joint Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall receive from the Master Servicer an amount equal to its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such payment. All expenses, losses and shortfalls relating solely to such Joint Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, losses of principal or interest, Nonrecoverable Advances, interest on Servicing Advances, 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 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.

-287-

(iii)                A Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.34 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 (and, if such Joint Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Whole Loan, such Joint Mortgage Loan shall continue to be serviced and administered under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement), (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 (or related Serviced Whole 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. All rights of the mortgagee under each such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be exercised by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trust to the extent of its interest therein and the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with this Agreement.

(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. Funds collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and applied to the applicable Mortgage Notes shall be deposited and disbursed in accordance with the provisions hereof relating to holders of promissory notes comprising Serviced Whole Loans that are pari passu in right of payment. 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.

(v)                Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, with respect to The Grace Building Mortgage Loan, the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement shall continue to apply to all of the Mortgage Notes comprising such Mortgage Loan, including any Repurchased Note.

(c)                If any non-repurchased Mortgage Note relating to a Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.34 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 payable to the Special Servicer under this Agreement as with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

-288-

(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 3.34 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 Holder 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 3.34, 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 3.34 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 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

-289-

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.

(h)               Each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the right to assign the related Repurchased Note; provided that the assignee of the related Repurchased Note shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

(i)                 The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, in connection with their servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement, exercise efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to execute and deliver, on behalf of each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller as a holder of a pari passu interest in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan, any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents and instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage or other security document related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to or with respect to the related Joint Mortgage Loan documents, and any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments with respect to the related Repurchased Note or related Repurchased Notes and the related Mortgaged Property all in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement. Each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer any powers of attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan; provided that such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; and further provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, without the written consent of the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, shall not initiate any action in the name of such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller without indicating its representative capacity or take any action with the intent to cause and that actually causes, such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller to be registered to do business in any state.

-295-

principal payments are subsequently received by the Master Servicer and required to be part of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause DTC to make the revised distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable or held responsible for any resulting delay in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders solely on the basis of the actions described in the preceding sentence.

(b)                [Reserved]

(c)                On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of principal or reimbursement of Realized Losses in an amount equal to the amount of principal or reimbursement of Realized Losses actually distributable to the Holders of the respective Related Certificates as provided in Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(d), and Section 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. 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 in respect of its Related Certificates plus a pro rata portion of the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of (i) in the case of the Class LA-1, Class LA-3, Class LA-4, Class LA-5, Class LA-SB and Class LA-S Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-A Certificates, (ii) in the case of the Class LB Uncertificated Interests and Class LC Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-B Certificates and (iii) in the case of the Class LD and Class LE Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-D Certificates, in each case, computed based on an interest rate equal to the excess of the WAC 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). 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, as adjusted for the allocation of Realized Losses, as provided in Section 4.04(b) and Section 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 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(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 Available Funds for such Distribution Date remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, if any).

-296-

(d)               While 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 and other amounts provided for in this Section 4.01 and the last sentence of Section 4.04(a).

(e)                Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date that represent Yield Maintenance Charges received by the Trust with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan during the related Collection Period, in each case net of any Liquidation Fees payable therefrom, shall be distributable as follows: if, during any particular Collection Period, any Yield Maintenance Charge is collected and allocable 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 in the following manner: (a) pro rata, between (i) the group (the “YM Group A”) of Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A and Class A-S Certificates, and (ii) the group (the “YM Group B” and collectively with the YM Group A, the “YM Groups”) of Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates, based upon the aggregate amount of principal distributed to the Classes of Certificates in each YM Group on such Distribution Date; and (b) as among the respective Classes of Certificates in each YM Group in the following manner: (1) on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective entitlements in those Yield Maintenance Charges, to each Class of Certificates (other than Class X Certificates) in such YM Group in an amount equal to the product of (x) a fraction whose numerator is the amount of principal distributed to such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date and whose denominator is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Certificates (other than Class X Certificates) in such YM Group on such Distribution Date, (y) the Base Interest Fraction for the related principal prepayment with respect to such Class of Certificates, and (z) the aggregate amount 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 to the applicable Class(es) of Certificates in such YM Group, in the case of amounts distributable to YM Group A, to the Class X-A Certificates and in the case of amounts distributable to YM Group B, on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective reductions in their Notional Amounts on such Distribution Date, to the Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates.

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, and with respect to any principal prepayment on any Mortgage Loan and with respect to any Class of Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is a fraction (a) whose numerator is the greater of (x) zero and (y) the difference between (i) the Pass-Through Rate of such Class of Certificates and (ii) the Discount Rate used in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents in calculating the Yield Maintenance Charge with respect to such principal prepayment and (b) whose denominator is the greater of zero and the difference between (i) the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan, the Mortgage Rate of such Serviced Whole Loan) and (ii) the Discount Rate used in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents in calculating the Yield Maintenance Charge with respect to such principal prepayment; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Base Interest Fraction be greater than 1.0 or less than zero. If such Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the lesser of (x) the Mortgage Rate on the related

-297-

Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and (y) the Pass-Through Rate described in the preceding sentence, then the Base Interest Fraction shall equal zero; provided that if such Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, but less than the Pass-Through Rate described in the preceding sentence, then the Base Interest Fraction shall equal 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 shall 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 Yield Maintenance Charge collected on any prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan and distributable on any Distribution Date shall be a rate per annum equal to (i) if a discount rate was used in the calculation of the applicable Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, such discount rate (as reported by the Master Servicer), converted (if necessary) to a monthly equivalent yield, or (ii) if a discount rate was not used in the calculation of the applicable Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields (as reported under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities” in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) published by the Federal Reserve Board for the week most recently ended before the date of the relevant prepayment (or deemed prepayment) of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with a maturity date, one longer and one shorter, most nearly approximating the related stated Maturity Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO 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 Servicer shall select a comparable publication as the source of the applicable yields of U.S. Treasury constant maturities, and the Servicer shall incur no liability with respect thereto. The Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing of its designation of an alternate index and the Certificate Administrator shall post same on its website as a “special notice”.

(i)                  No Yield Maintenance Charge shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class F-RR Certificates, Class G-RR Certificates, Class J-RR Certificates, Class NR-RR Certificates, Class Z Certificates or Class R Certificates. After the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates, Class A-SB Certificates, Class X-A Certificates, Class X-B Certificates, Class X-D Certificates, Class A-S Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates, Class D Certificates and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero, Yield Maintenance Charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class X-D Certificates.

(ii)                  All distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges made (i) in respect of the respective Classes of Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(e) shall first be deemed to be distributed from the Westchester Loan REMIC to the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest, if applicable, and then 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

-298-

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 determine if there will be any shortfalls in interest or principal to any Class of Certificates that would occur on such Distribution Date without the inclusion of the Gain-on-Sale Remittance Amount in the definition of “Available Funds” and shall remit all amounts on deposit in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account to the Collection Account to be included as part of the applicable Available Funds. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the 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 Section 4.01(i), Section 4.01(j) and Section 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 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 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 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.

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 will 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) 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:

-299-

(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 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(h).

(i)                 Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to the Regular Certificates shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(a), 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 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 the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class Z Certificates from the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Excess Interest will not be

-300-

available to pay any other amounts except for distributions on Class Z Certificates as set forth in the prior sentence.

(k)               The Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest’s share of all payments made on The Westchester Mortgage Loan (other than any Excess Interest and Default Interest in accordance with the related Loan REMIC Declaration) shall be deemed to be paid at the time payments are made under the related Mortgage Loan (in the case of interest, at the Mortgage Rate of such Mortgage Loan) and then deposited in the Lower-Tier REMIC before payments are made to the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, and shall be treated as principal, interest and Yield Maintenance Charges, as the case may be, based on these characterizations with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or related REO Property), except where expressly noted and, in addition, any payment of principal on or reduction in the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan shall reduce the principal balance of the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest. Servicing Fees, Trustee Fees and Operating Advisor Fees with respect to The Westchester Mortgage Loan shall be deemed paid by the Lower-Tier REMIC in determining the Net Mortgage Rate of the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest, and all other servicing compensation or unanticipated expenses with respect to The Westchester Mortgage Loan payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor shall be deemed payable by the Westchester Loan REMIC.

(l)                 On the 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 Serviced Companion Loan in the following order of priority:

(i)                  to pay to the Master Servicer any amounts deposited by the Master Servicer in the Companion Distribution Account not required to be deposited therein;

(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

(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 the Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date to the account of such Companion Holder or an agent therefor appearing on the Companion Register on the related

-301-

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 Companion Register). Any such account shall be located at a commercial bank in the United States.

On the final Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer Remittance Date.

The Certificate Administrator has not obtained and shall not be deemed to have obtained actual knowledge of any information by virtue of its receipt from another party for the purposes of posting of such information to the Certificate Administrator’s Website or by its filing of information, including but not limited to EDGAR pursuant to this Agreement.

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 include such summary in Item 1B on the Form 10-D for such period in which the Asset Review Report was delivered.

(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 or any prospective Certificateholder 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 (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 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 the Special Servicer, as applicable, is not liable for dissemination of this information in accordance with this Agreement, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be responsible for any information delivered, produced, or made available pursuant to Section 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 may 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 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 is obligated 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 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.

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 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

-306-

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 will 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 on account of it constituting Excluded Information, 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 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 may conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing

-307-

Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, 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 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 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 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 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 and any REO Mortgage Loans for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans for 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 has 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. If 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 for the related Mortgage Loans and any REO 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 all Mortgage Loans and REO Mortgage Loans, 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 Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Mortgage Loan during the related Collection Period and delinquent 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 close of business on the Business Day preceding the related P&I Advance Date

-308-

(including any REO Mortgage Loan as to which the related Balloon Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment (net of any collections of previously unadvanced principal and interest (adjusted to the related Net Mortgage Rate) received with respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as applicable, during the related Collection Period) 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 Mortgage 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. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make or be permitted to make any P&I Advances with respect to any Companion Loan. The Special Servicer shall not make any P&I Advances on any Mortgage Loan or 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 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 PSA 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 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 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 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 is not 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.

(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

-309-

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) made with respect to a Mortgage Loan until 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 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, 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, Balloon Payment or any P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan and (ii) if an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined to exist 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.

(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 or with respect to any cure payment by the holder of any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall make P&I Advances on the basis of the original terms of any Mortgage Loan, including Mortgage Loans subject to forbearance agreements or other temporary deferrals of payment accommodations, unless (a) the terms of the Mortgage Loan have been permanently modified to reduce or forgive a monetary obligation or (b) such P&I Advance has been determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

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 aggregate Stated Principal Balance (for purposes of this definition 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

-310-

extent such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts are not otherwise determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans 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 Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. The allocation of Realized Losses shall constitute an allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses do not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and do not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the applicable Certificate in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. With respect to any Certificate (other than any Class X Certificate), 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 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 in the case of Realized Losses, in sequential order according to the priority of payments for such Class of Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) (and in the case of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB 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 allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates.

(b)               (i)  On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balance of any Class of 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 NR-RR Certificates, second, to the Class J-RR Certificates, third, to the Class G-RR Certificates, fourth, to the Class F-RR Certificates, fifth, to the Class E Certificates, sixth, to the Class D Certificates, seventh, to the Class C Certificates, eighth, to the Class B Certificates, ninth, to the Class A-S Certificates, and then, pro rata (based on their respective Certificate Balances), to the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB 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) 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 Non-Reduced Certificates and the Controlling Class (and whether a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is continuing) and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) shall be allocated to the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates 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 NR-RR Certificates, second,

-311-

to the Class J-RR Certificates, third, to the Class G-RR Certificates, fourth, to the Class F-RR Certificates, fifth, to the Class E Certificates, sixth, to the Class D Certificates, seventh, to the Class C Certificates, eighth, to the Class B Certificates, ninth, to the Class A-S Certificates, and finally, pro rata based on their respective Certificate Balances, to the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates).

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 the Master Servicer obtaining knowledge or receiving notice 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 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. None of the Master Servicer (with respect to Mortgage Loans other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Special Servicer (with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

For purposes of determining the Controlling Class or whether a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is continuing, 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 related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class of Control Eligible Certificates is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class NR-RR Certificates, second, to the Class J-RR Certificates, third, to the Class G-RR Certificates and fourth, to the Class F-RR Certificates). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or whether a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is continuing, 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).

With respect to (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Certificates or 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 whether a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is

-312-

continuing, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as is” basis.

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in each case with respect to amounts required to be calculated by such party, shall promptly notify the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Certificate Administrator of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount (which notification to the Certificate Administrator shall be made by delivery of such information included in the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.12(d)), any Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated 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® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package in accordance with Section 3.12(d) or such other report or reports mutually agreed upon between the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator) 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”) if an event has occurred at, or with respect to, the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties that would have a material effect on its appraised value. The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable best 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 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, the Special Servicer 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

-313-

Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, if applicable. In addition, the Requesting Holders 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 (other than a Non-Serviced 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 obtain such Appraisal from an MAI appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request; provided that the Special Servicer is not 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 related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. 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 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 (as applicable) to the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator within such 10-day period as described above. If the Requesting Holders provide this notice, then the Appraised-Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until the earliest of (i) 120 days following the related Appraisal Reduction Event, unless the Special Servicer provides 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 next most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates, if any, unless a recalculation results in the reinstatement of the Appraised-Out Class as the Controlling Class.

(c)                With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has remained current for three consecutive Periodic Payments, and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect to that Mortgage Loan during the preceding three months (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 (and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall, upon receipt of such notification from the Special Servicer, promptly notify the related Other Master Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee) 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

-314-

Advance, an expense of the Trust, or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, and calculate or recalculate, 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 promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) while no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the Directing Holder; provided, however, that no new or updated Appraisal shall be required if the Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property is under contract to be sold within ninety (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 internal valuation (or any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b)) 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 ((i) while no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and (ii) other than with respect to an Excluded Loan) the Directing Holder, 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 Amount Template format; provided, however, that the Special Servicer is not 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 Loan), to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the Other Servicer, to the extent required by the related Intercreditor Agreement, 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 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. If no Consultation Termination Event is continuing (and other than with respect to an 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 or Collateral Deficiency Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the Special Servicer is not 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 six-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 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

-315-

the related Mortgaged Property having occurred and affecting the validity of such Appraisal or valuation. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Appraisal Reduction Amount.

The Master Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail to the Special Servicer any information in its possession 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 Special Servicer’s receipt of the applicable Appraisal or preparation of the applicable internal valuation); 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.

(d)               Any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-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), 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 Subordinate Companion Loan(s) (until its principal balance is notionally reduced to zero by such Appraisal Reduction Amounts) and then, pro rata, to the related Mortgage Loan and any related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s). 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(s), 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 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 vary the investment of the Holders of the Class Z Certificates 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

-316-

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 Z Certificates, 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)               If the Certificate Administrator received notice that the Class Z Certificates are held through a “middleman” as defined in the WHFIT Regulations, then 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 DTC and Hare & Co. are the only “middlemen” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of the other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement if 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 the 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 is not responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.

(d)               The Certificate Administrator is not 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 Certificateholder, 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 Certificate, 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 Z 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 is not liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

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.

In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Holder as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry if the Inquiry will not be answered. Any notice by the Certificate Administrator to the Person who submitted an

-318-

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, (vi) that answering any 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, 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 will have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information. The Certificate Administrator is not 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 is not required to respond to any Inquiries from Certificateholders for which its response would require the Operating 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 e-mail 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.

Section 4.08        Secure Data Room. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall create a Secure Data Room within 120 days following the Closing Date. The Depositor shall upon the receipt of each Mortgage Loan Seller’s Diligence File Certificate, deliver to the Certificate Administrator within 120 days following the Closing Date, an electronic copy of the Diligence Files for the Mortgage Loans that have been uploaded by the Mortgage Loan Sellers to the Designated Site.

(c)                During the Transfer Restriction Period, the HRR Certificates shall only be held as Definitive Certificates in the Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator (and the 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 Certificate Safekeeping Account), as custodian for and for the benefit of the Holder of the related Certificates.

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.

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.

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 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 from the

-328-

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 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.

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, (b) a Class Z Certificate or (c) an HRR Certificate during the 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

-329-

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 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 (if the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate), in the form of Exhibit N (if the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate) or in the form of Exhibit O (if 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(c) and 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)                 Transfers of Risk Retention Certificates. During the Transfer Restriction Period, if a Transfer of any Risk Retention Certificate is to be made, then the Certificate Administrator shall facilitate such transfer in conjunction with the Certificate Registrar and shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) each of the following, sent to the address provided in Section 13.05: (A) a letter from the Risk Retention Certificateholder instructing the Certificate Administrator of its intentions to release the Risk Retention Certificate from the Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account and to transfer such Risk Retention Certificate, in the form of Exhibit D-7, (B) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit D-5, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor, (C) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form of Exhibit D-6, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor (who shall sign promptly upon request of the Retaining Sponsor), (D) a W-9 completed by the Transferee and (E) wire instructions and contact information of the Transferee. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.01(c) and Section 5.03(a), facilitate the transfer of the Risk Retention Certificate and reflect such Risk Retention Certificates

-330-

in the name of the prospective Transferee and shall deliver written confirmation of such transfer and the safekeeping of such Risk Retention Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit VV. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Risk Retention Certificate be held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the Transfer Restriction Period. At all times after the Transfer Restriction Period, the Risk Retention Certificates may be transferred subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Article V and upon the Certificate Registrar’s receipt of (A) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit D-5, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and (B) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form of Exhibit D-6, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor (who shall sign promptly upon request of the Retaining Sponsor). Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of this Section 5.03(i) 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.

(j)                 Other Exchanges. If 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.

(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 Placement Agents) of any such Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator has received a representation letter from the proposed purchaser or Transferee of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1, to the effect that such proposed purchaser or Transferee is not and will not become (A) an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility or prohibited

-331-

transaction provisions of ERISA to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or other plan subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) that is, to a material extent, similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (B) any person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan (including any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets within the meaning of U.S. Department of Labor Reg. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) to purchase ERISA Restricted Certificates, other than an insurance company purchasing and holding such Certificates with the assets of its general account under circumstances that meet all the requirements under Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, where the purchase, holding and disposition of such Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law). Each transferee of an interest in an ERISA Restricted Certificate represented by a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not a Person described in clause (A) or (B) of the preceding sentence. 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.

In addition, each beneficial owner of a Certificate or any interest therein that is a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) or is acting on behalf of or using the assets of an ERISA Plan, shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that (i) none of the Depositor, the Sponsors, the Underwriters, the Placement Agents, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any of their respective affiliated entities, has provided any investment advice within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (and applicable regulations) to the ERISA Plan or the fiduciary making the investment decision for the ERISA Plan in connection with the ERISA Plan’s acquisition of Certificates, and (ii) the ERISA Plan fiduciary making the decision to acquire the Certificates is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the investment in the Certificates.

(o)               No Class R or Class Z 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 any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets within the meaning of U.S. Department of Labor Reg. Section  2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) to purchase such Class R or Class Z Certificate. Each prospective Transferee of a Class R or Class Z 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 a Plan or a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan (including any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets within the meaning of U.S. Department of Labor Reg. Section 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.

(p)               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

-332-

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.

(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

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.

The consent of Certificateholders or payees is not required for such withholding, and the Certificateholders shall be required to provide the Certificate Administrator with such forms and other such 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.

Unless specifically provided herein, all such votes require a majority of Certificateholders to carry a proposition.

(b)       The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer each may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets (which may be limited to all or substantially all of its assets related to commercial mortgage loan servicing or commercial mortgage surveillance, as the case may be) to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer, shall be the successor of the 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

-345-

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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations are received with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities; provided, further, that if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer enters into a merger and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable, is the Surviving Entity under applicable law, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer, 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation; provided, further, that for so long as the Trust, and, with respect to any 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, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer 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, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer, 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, has consented (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such successor entity.

If the conditions to the provisions in the second preceding sentence are not met, the Trustee may terminate, and if the conditions set forth in the third proviso of the third preceding sentence are not met the Trustee

-346-

The Depositor, the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager, employee or agent of any of the foregoing shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, costs and expenses of litigation, and of enforcement of this indemnity (including any legal or administrative action, whether in law or in equity) or claim relating, or related to, or connected with this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans, the Companion Loans or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense: (i) specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) incurred in connection with any breach of a representation or warranty made by it herein; (iii) incurred by reason of bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence in the performance of such party’s obligations or duties hereunder, or by reason of negligent disregard of such party’s obligations or duties; or (iv) in the case of the Depositor and any of its partners, directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, employees and agents, incurred in connection with any violation by any of them of any state or federal securities law.

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), 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).

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer may mutually agree, as contemplated by Section 3.18(a), that the Master Servicer will process and obtain the prior consent of the Special Servicer with respect to any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan (which consent shall be deemed received by the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer does not respond within ten (10) days (or twenty (20) days, in the case of an Acceptable Insurance Default) of delivery to the Special Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis, and all information in the Master Servicer’s possession that is reasonably requested by the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent, plus the time period provided to any Serviced Companion Loan Holder under any related Intercreditor Agreement to consent to a Major Decision); provided that, the Master Servicer shall, without the need for any such mutual agreement between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, process any Major Decision described in subclauses (i) and (ii) of clause (xiii) of this definition of “Major Decision” with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan; provided, further, that, if the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, or (i) any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Holder with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an

-356-

Excluded Loan and only if no Control Termination Event is continuing, or (ii) any matter requiring consultation with the Directing Holder 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, as the case may be)), such servicer may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Holder or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be), provided that such servicer shall provide 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; provided, however, that the Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder for any Major Decision during a Control Termination Event. In addition, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, if no Control Termination Event 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 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 Holder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein.

If a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, but for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Holder in connection with any Major Decision not relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Excluded Loan (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Directing Holder prior to a Consultation Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Holder in respect thereof. If the Special Servicer receives no response from the Directing Holder within 10 days following its written request for input on any required consultation, the Special Servicer is not required 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 related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Excluded Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such advice, direction or objection by, from or on the part of the Directing Holder or Operating Advisor contemplated in this Section 6.08(a), may require or cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan or related 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, expose the Trust or any party to this Agreement to liability, materially expand the scope of its responsibilities hereunder or constitute an action or inaction that, in its reasonable judgment, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

If the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Holder or any advice from the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder, 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 the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard

-357-

such refusal to consent or advise and notify the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder, 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 Holder and the Operating Advisor 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 will 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 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 will 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 will 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.

Any Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, will 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 PSA including the Holders of the controlling class under such Non-Serviced PSA 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 PSA, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, will 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 such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, will 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.

-358-

(b)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) during a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan), the Directing Holder will have no right to consent to or direct any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) during a Control Termination Event while no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder 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 Holder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) to the extent set forth herein in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking; and (iii) during a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder (at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan) will 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.

(c)       While no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor promptly after the Special Servicer receives the Directing Holder’s approval or deemed approval of such Major Decision Reporting Package; provided, however, that with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, no Major Decision Reporting Package is required to be delivered to the Operating Advisor while no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing. During an Operating Advisor Consultation Event (whether or not a Control Termination Event is continuing), the Special Servicer shall 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 (which written request and Major Decision Reporting Package may be delivered in one notice), as set forth under Section 6.08. With respect to any particular Major Decision and/or related Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report (including any Final 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 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.

In addition, for so long as an Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall also consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision as to which it has delivered to the Operating Advisor a Major Decision Reporting Package (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. If 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 that is in the possession of the Special Servicer related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Special Servicer is not required 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 Holder (other than a

-359-

Non-Serviced Mortgage 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 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 Directing Holder’s 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 related Mortgaged 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 the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of the applicable period for the Operating Advisor or Directing Holder to respond as described in this Section 6.08, if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders, and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder, as applicable.

During a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder will have no consultation or consent rights hereunder and will have no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Certificateholder. However, the Directing Certificateholder shall maintain the right to exercise its Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder.

Section 6.09 Knowledge of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acting in any particular capacity hereunder shall 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 or Servicing Officers, as applicable; provided that the knowledge of employees performing special servicing functions shall not be imputed to employees performing master servicing functions and vice versa.

During such forty-five (45) day period the Master Servicer may continue to serve as Master Servicer hereunder. If 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. Any appointment of a master servicer in accordance with this paragraph shall be subject to the receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities.

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

-364-

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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities.

(d)       Subject to the right of the Operating Advisor to recommend the termination of the Special Servicer and recommend a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and the right of the applicable Certificateholders to approve the replacement of the Special Servicer with such Qualified Replacement Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01(d), and subject to the rights of the holder of a related Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, at any time no Control Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Holder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Directing Holder may 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 meeting the requirements of this Section 7.01(d), provided that, with respect to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the ten (10) Business Days’ notice set forth in this Section 7.01(d) shall not apply to the related Directing Holder’s right to terminate the Special Servicer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement without cause with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. Upon a termination of the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Holder, or, if the Directing Holder is the Directing Certificateholder, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) shall designate 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and (iii) no replacement of the Special Servicer shall be effective until the Certificate Administrator has 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.

During a Control Termination Event, 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 Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances pursuant to Section 4.05) of the Principal Balance Certificates requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction, (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 shall not be additional expenses of the Trust and (c) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities (which Rating Agency Confirmation and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations shall be obtained at the expense of such Holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such request

-365-

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, which vote shall occur within one hundred eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice. Upon the written direction of (a) Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least 66-2/3% of a Certificateholder Quorum or (b) Holders of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor 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 Certificateholders’ direction to replace the Special Servicer will not apply to a Serviced AB Whole Loan unless, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, a Control Appraisal Period has occurred.

The parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.01(d), 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 (or, prior to a Control Termination Event, 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 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 control termination event (or similarly defined term) 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.

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 Companion Holders as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and Companion Holders constituted a single lender, then 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 (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 recommendation (provided that the Operating Advisor shall not recommend the replacement of

-366-

the Special Servicer for any Whole Loan so long as the holder of the related Companion Loan is the Directing Holder under the related Intercreditor 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 post notice to all applicable 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 applicable Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of Voting Rights evidencing at least a majority of a Quorum (which, for this purpose, is the Holders that (A) evidence at least 20% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis, and (B) consist of at least three (3) Certificateholders, or the Certificate Owners that are not Risk Retention Affiliated with each other) and (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations (with respect to each class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities) 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 (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel) associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering such vote(s) and the Operating Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be an additional expense of the Trust. If the Trustee 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 the posting of the notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website, then the Trustee will have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer has agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder. If the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(d), the Directing Holder may not subsequently reappoint such terminated Special Servicer or any Risk Retention Affiliate thereof.

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” status or downgraded due to servicing or special servicing, as applicable, concerns by any Rating Agency.

-367-

In no event shall the remedy for a breach of the foregoing covenant extend beyond termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(viii), Section 7.01(a)(ix) and Section 7.01(a)(x) 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), Section 7.01(a)(ix) and Section 7.01(a)(x).

(f)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, any related Serviced Companion Noteholder or the rating on any class of 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, any related Serviced Companion Noteholder 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 such Serviced Companion Noteholder or the holders of any certificates backed, wholly or partially, by such Serviced Companion Loan, but upon the written direction of such Serviced Companion Noteholder, the Master Servicer shall 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. If no Control Termination Event is continuing, if the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder 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. During the continuance of a Control Termination Event or if the Directing Certificateholder or the majority Controlling Class Certificateholder on its behalf fails to make the selection contemplated by the prior sentence within ten (10) Business Days or if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an 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. 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 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

-368-

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 (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 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 the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 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 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, is not 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 and the Companion Loans that 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

-369-

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 Holder (solely with respect to the Special Servicer) ((i) if no Control Termination Event is continuing and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority 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 or other entity 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, (iii) which appointment has been approved (if no Control Termination Event is continuing) by the Directing Holder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and (iv) the Certificate Administrator has 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 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 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 ninety (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

-370-

termination will 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 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 has 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, within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the Certificate Administrator of the occurrence of such Servicer Termination Event; provided, however, that (1) a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i) or (ii) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes and (2) a Servicer Termination Event under clause (iii) or (xi) of Section 7.01(a) relating to Exchange Act reporting may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor, together with (in the case of each of clauses (1) and (2) of this sentence) the consent of each Serviced Companion Noteholder, if any, that is 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, 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, 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.

-371-

Section 7.05     Trustee as Maker of Advances. If 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)(i) 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 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 have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of the Master Servicer for such Advances. The Trustee may conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

(ii)       Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, will be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer 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

-374-

The Trust shall pay all costs and expenses associated with such petition.

(b)       If at any time the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 (and in the case of the Certificate Administrator, Section 5.08) and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or if the Trustee or Certificate Administrator (if different than the Trustee) shall fail (other than by reason of the failure of either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to timely perform its obligations hereunder or as a result of other circumstances beyond the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, reasonable control) to timely publish any report to be delivered, published or otherwise made available by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.02 and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of five (5) days, or if the Certificate Administrator fails to make distributions required pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 9.01, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator, by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee or certificate administrator in the case of the removal of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders by the Depositor. Except as described in the following sentence, the terminated or removed Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall bear all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with its termination or removal.

Subject to this Section 9.01 and Section 9.02, the Trust and the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Certificate Administrator (other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to provide for and make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth), the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee, shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Certificate Administrator and required hereunder to be so paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier to occur of (i) the final payment (or related Advance) or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property (as applicable) subject hereto, (ii) the purchase or other liquidation by the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, of all the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to (a) the sum of (1) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) included in the Trust Fund, (2) the Appraised Value of the Trust’s portion of each REO Property (which fair market value for any REO Property may be less than the Purchase Price for the corresponding REO Loan), if any, included in the Trust Fund (such Appraisals in clause (a)(2) to be conducted by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser selected by the Special Servicer and approved by the Master Servicer and by the Holders of the Controlling Class (which approval shall

-386-

be deemed given unless more than 50% of such Certificateholders object within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice thereof), (3) the fair value of each Specially Serviced Loan as determined by the Special Servicer consistent with procedures required for making such determination in connection with the sale of a Defaulted Loan, (4) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to such termination, unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans and (5) if a Mortgaged Property secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and is an “REO property” under the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, the pro rata portion of the fair market value of the related Mortgaged Property, as determined by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer in accordance with clause (2) above, minus (b) solely in the case where the Master Servicer is exercising such purchase right, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer in respect of such Advances in accordance with Section 3.03(d) and Section 4.03(d) and any unpaid Servicing Fees, remaining outstanding and payable solely to the Master Servicer (which items shall be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer in connection with such purchase) or (iii) if the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero, the voluntary exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of all the outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) for the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the immediately succeeding paragraph; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby 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’s, living on the date hereof. Upon termination of the Trust pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, at the address provided in Section 13.05 or to such other address designated by the Master Servicer in writing, any Mortgage Files remaining in its possession. In connection with a termination of the Trust under this Article IX, the obligations and responsibilities of the Custodian under this Agreement shall terminate upon its delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Master Servicer, Sole Certificateholder or other party as required by this Section 9.01, except for the obligation of the Custodian to execute assignments, endorsements and other instruments as required by this Section 9.01.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (as provided in the Preliminary Statement), to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange. If the Sole Certificateholder elects to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and the

-387-

Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder, not later than the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall remit for 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 Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, or an escrow account acceptable to the respective parties hereto, pursuant to Section 3.05(a) or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a), but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and Excess Interest Distribution Account on the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date in which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b) (provided, however, that if a Serviced Whole Loan is secured by REO Property, the portion of the above-described purchase price allocable to such Trust’s portion of REO Property shall initially be deposited into the related REO Account). Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) on the applicable Distribution Date, 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 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 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 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 Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any

-388-

REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Preliminary Statement. This purchase shall terminate the Trust and retire the then-outstanding Certificates.

If the Master Servicer or the 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 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 (a) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer with respect to such termination (if applicable) and (b) any other 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 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 Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class shall have the first option to terminate the Trust REMICs, 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 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) if such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining

-389-

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.

After transferring the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Yield Maintenance Charges distributable to the Regular Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(c) 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 Regular Certificates so presented, (ii) to Holders of the Class Z 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 Section 4.01(c). 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).

The Westchester Loan REMIC shall terminate as described above or as otherwise described in the Westchester Loan REMIC Declaration.

Section 9.02     Additional Termination Requirements. If 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 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:

(i)        the Certificate Administrator shall specify the date of adoption of the plan of complete liquidation (which shall be the date of mailing of the notice specified in Section 9.01) in a statement attached to each of the related Trust REMICs’ final Tax Returns pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-1;

(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

-390-

(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 Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest, 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 Regular Certificate shall be designated as a “regular interest” 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 Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be designated as a “regular interest” 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 (i) in the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Regular Certificates and the Class UR Interest and (ii) in the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LR Interest. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely produced to the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign) and file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, an application for a taxpayer identification number for such Trust REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 or obtain such number by other permissible means. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the preparation of the related IRS Form W-9, if such form is requested. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information contained therein, and is hereby directed to execute such IRS Form W-9; provided, however, the Certificate Administrator shall also be directed to execute such IRS Form W-9 (in lieu of the Trustee) if permitted by IRS regulations.

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

(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

-391-

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 Certificate Administrator shall be the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code) of each Trust REMIC. By their acceptance thereof, the Holders of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates hereby agree to irrevocably appoint the Certificate Administrator as the “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. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed with the IRS, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, an application for a taxpayer identification number for such REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 or obtain such number by other permissible means.

(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, in respect of each Trust REMIC, 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 Trust, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated

-392-

action will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, 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.

(g)       If 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 Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest, to the Lower-Tier REMIC to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses arising therefrom, (y) 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 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 (z) 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), to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses 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

-393-

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 has 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.

(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.

(k)       Solely for the purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” by which (i) the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each Class of Regular Certificates representing a “regular interest” in the Upper-Tier REMIC would be reduced to zero and (ii) the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests representing a “regular interest” in the Lower-Tier REMIC would be reduced to zero is the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date. The “latest possible maturity date” for purposes of Code Section 860G(a)(1) for the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest is the date set forth in the related Loan REMIC Declaration (the Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan).

(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 or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or Article III) 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 applicable, 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

-394-

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. Each Holder of Class R Certificate agrees, by acquiring such Certificate, to any such elections.

Section 10.02     Use of Agents. (a) The Trustee shall execute all of its obligations and duties under this Article X through its Corporate Trust Office. The Trustee may execute any of its obligations and duties under this Article X either directly or by or through agents, affiliates or attorneys.

Article XI

EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING AND REGULATION AB COMPLIANCE

Section 11.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this Article XI 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 3650R 2021-PF1 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-PF1, and any Other Securitization subject to Regulation AB, each of the Master Servicer,

-396-

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 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. Each party to this Agreement will have a reasonable period of time to comply with any written request made under this Section 11.01, but in any event, shall, upon reasonable advance written request, provide information in sufficient time to allow the Depositor and each Other Depositor to satisfy any related filing requirements. For purposes of this Article XI, to the extent any party has an obligation to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause a third party to perform, such party hereunder is not required to bring any legal action against such third party in connection with such obligation.

Section 11.02  Succession; Subcontractors. (a) As a condition to the succession to the Master Servicer and the 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 under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or such Sub-Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or to any such Sub-Servicer, the person removing and replacing the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and each Other Depositor, 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, the Other Depositor and the Other Certificate Administrator 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, the Other Depositor and the Other Certificate Administrator 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, however that if disclosing such information prior to such effective date would violate any applicable law or confidentiality agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Additional Servicer, as the case may be, shall submit such disclosure to the Depositor and the Other 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 (subject to Section 3.26(s)), the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator and

-397-

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 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, cause such Subcontractor used by such Servicer for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee (and any Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator and Other Depositor related to any Other Securitization that includes a related Serviced Companion Loan) to comply with the provisions of Section 11.10 and Section 11.11 to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicer. 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 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

-398-

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 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 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.

Section 11.03   Filing Obligations. (a) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the satisfaction of the Trust’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Sections 11.04, 11.05, 11.06 and 11.07, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare for execution by the Depositor any Forms 8-K, 10-D, ABS-EE and 10-K required by the Exchange Act, in order to permit the timely filing thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall file (via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system) such Forms executed by the Depositor.

Each party hereto may rely on the information in the Prospectus or this Agreement with respect to the identity of any “sponsor”, credit enhancer, derivative provider or “significant obligor” as of the Closing Date other than with respect to itself or any information required to be provided by it or indemnified for by it pursuant to any separate agreement.

(b)       If 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

-399-

information on the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed for the Trust. If 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 necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A, Form ABS-EE/A or Form 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor. 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 11.04, 11.05, 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09, 11.10 and 11.11. The Certificate Administrator will 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.

the asset representations reviewer

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 written notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Section 12.01 shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, by mailing to their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and by delivering such notice via the Depository. The Certificate Administrator shall include in the Form 10-D relating to the distribution period in which the Asset Review Trigger occurred a description of the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur. On each Distribution Date after providing such notice to the Certificateholders, 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 Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver written notice of such information (which may be via e-mail) in the form of Exhibit SS 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 5.0% 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 (such written direction, the “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 of Certificateholders to authorize an Asset Review. Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review of 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 to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Directing Certificateholder 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 to the Certificate Administrator a certification in the form of Exhibit RR. 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. If 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 is not required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan

-424-

after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) an additional Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or otherwise is in effect, (C) the Certificate Administrator has timely received an Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) 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 may administer any vote in connection with the foregoing through an agent.

(b)       (i) If an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, Sponsors, the Directing Holder and all other Certificateholders. Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Custodian (with respect to clauses (1) through (5) below for Non-Specially Serviced Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to clauses (6) and (7) below for Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to clauses (6) and (7) 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 (except with respect to clause (7) below) after receipt of such notice from the Certificate Administrator, provide, or make available, the following materials for each Delinquent Loan (in electronic format) 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 posted to the Secure Data Room by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.08, 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;

-425-

(6)        a copy of any notice previously delivered to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of any alleged defect or breach with respect to any Delinquent Loan; and

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

(ii)       If, as part of an Asset Review of any Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that it is missing any documents or agreements that are required to be a part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan or that were entered into or delivered in connection with the origination or a modification of such Mortgage Loan and, in each case, that are necessary in connection with its completion of 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 Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing documents and agreements, 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 such notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer, deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer such missing documents and agreements 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 this Agreement. If any missing documents or agreements are not provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall contact the related Mortgage Loan Seller to request such documents or agreements from the Mortgage Loan Seller. The Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to deliver such additional documents and agreements only to the extent in the possession of such Mortgage Loan Seller.

(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 related 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.

(iv)      Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Review Materials with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall commence an 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 QQ (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, that the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in Exhibit QQ if, and only to the extent, the Asset

-426-

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 will have the right to change the scope of the Asset Review, and the Asset Representations Reviewer is not required to review any information other than (x) the Review Materials and (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)     If the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing information and documentation is not delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer (a) by the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) to the extent in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession within ten (10) Business Days or (b) by the related Mortgage Loan Seller upon request the Asset Representations Reviewer shall list such missing information and documents in a preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing information and documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such information and documents shall 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 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 will have ninety (90) days (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 information or documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test must be promptly delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Asset Representations Reviewer is not required to prepare a preliminary report if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that there is no Test failure with respect to the related Delinquent 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 in the Secure Data Room is made available to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator or (y) ten (10) days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period (whichever is later), complete an

-427-

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 and the related Mortgage Loan Seller for each Delinquent Loan, and (ii) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report in the form of Exhibit PP (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator. The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional thirty (30) days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event 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 related Mortgage Loan Seller, which, in each such case, will be the responsibility of the Enforcing Servicer.

(ix)       In addition, if the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any information or documentation that it requested from the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) or the related Mortgage Loan Seller in sufficient time to allow the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete its Asset Review and deliver an Asset Review Report, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the information received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, and the Asset Representations Reviewer will have no responsibility to independently obtain any such information 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 Special Servicer shall determine whether at that time, 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 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 all information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” confidential received from any party to this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Seller and shall 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.

-428-

(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 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 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 may 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 a Prohibited Party under this Agreement; (ii) the Asset Representations Reviewer shall 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 the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect and (iv) the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each other party to this Agreement and the Rating Agencies in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall provide notice to each party to this Agreement and then will be the successor asset representations reviewer hereunder.

(f)       With respect to any Delinquent Loan that is an 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

-429-

being serviced by a Non-Serviced Special Servicer), the related Non-Serviced Trustee and the related Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator (and, in each case, such other party as contemplated under the related Non-Serviced PSA or related Intercreditor Agreement).

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 each Mortgage Loan and any REO Mortgage Loan and shall be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00038% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans and shall be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans and REO 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 Section 12.02(b), “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 of: (i) $17,750 multiplied by the number of subject loans, plus (ii) $1,775 per Mortgaged Property relating to the Subject Loans in excess of one Mortgaged Property per Subject Loan, plus (iii) $2,300 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Subject Loan subject to a ground lease, plus (iv) $1,275 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 other similar index if the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers is no longer calculated, from the year of the Closing Date and to the year of the occurrence of the Asset Review (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 within forty-five (45) days of receipt by the related Mortgage Loan Seller of a written invoice from the Asset Representations Reviewer. If the related Mortgage Loan Seller (x) is insolvent or (y) fails to pay such amount upon completion of any Asset Review and within ninety (90) days of receiving an invoice from the asset representations reviewer, such fee shall be paid by the Trust following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount; provided, however, 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 e-mail, shall constitute satisfactory evidence delivered by the Asset Representations Reviewer of such failure to pay such amount. 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 reasonably pursue remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller to recover any such amounts to the extent paid by the Trust, provided that the costs of doing so will be a cost of the Trust.

-430-

(c)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) shall be included in the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review and that is repurchased by a 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. 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 shall be effective until a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer has been appointed and accepted the appointment. If no successor asset representations reviewer has been so appointed and accepted 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 other 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 will not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer if the Asset Representations Reviewer and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Asset Representations Reviewer under 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 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 continues unremedied for

-431-

a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, has 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 at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then-outstanding Certificates; provided that if such failure is capable of being cured and the Asset Representations Reviewer certifies to the other parties to this Agreement that it is diligently pursuing such cure, such thirty (30) day period will be extended by an additional thirty (30) days;

(ii)       any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform in any material respect any of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the Asset Review Standard which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date of 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 of 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, has been entered against the Asset Representations Reviewer, and such decree or order remains 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 (which shall be simultaneously delivered by the Certificate Administrator to the Asset Representations Reviewer) of written notice of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders 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

-432-

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 Cumulative 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 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 Sponsor may 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 the Certificateholders 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 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 the Certificateholders evidencing more than 75% of a Certificateholder 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 the proposed successor asset representations reviewer shall be appointed. As between the Asset Representations Reviewer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders may in their sole discretion vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer. If the Certificateholders entitled to at least 75% of a Certificateholder 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 15 Business Days after (1) the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns pursuant to Section 12.03 or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall appoint a

-433-

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, the Directing Holder and each Certificateholder within one Business Day of such appointment.

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be at all times 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 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, 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 is not liable for any failure to identify and appoint a successor asset representations reviewer for 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 Sponsors, the Depositor and, if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder and each Rating Agency. If 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).

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 Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement 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.

-446-

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 and to the assets comprising the Trust Fund, including without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, all principal and interest received or receivable with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than principal and interest payments due and payable prior to the Cut-off Date and Principal Prepayments received prior to the Cut-off Date), all amounts held from time to time in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and, if established, the REO Account, and all reinvestment earnings on such amounts, and all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any title, hazard or other Insurance Policies related to such Mortgage Loans 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 promptly following the initial issuance of the Certificates to reflect the assignments made by the Mortgage Loan Sellers to the Depositor (and the Trustee) and by the Depositor to the Trustee (copies of which shall be delivered by the Depositor to the Certificate Administrator shall, at the expense of the Depositor (to the extent reasonable), no later than 10 days following the Closing Date), and the Certificate Administrator shall 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 statements. 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) and each Placement Agent 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. If one, but not all, of the Mortgage Notes evidencing any Joint Mortgage Loan is repurchased, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, as contemplated by Section 3.34 hereof.

(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 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 and any Non-Serviced Trust holding a related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect to

-447-

its rights as specifically provided for herein and under the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement.

(d)       Subject to Section 2.03(k)(ii), 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).

Pass-Through Rate:  1.122%

CUSIP: [__] ISIN: [__]	Initial Certificate Balance of this Certificate: $[__]
No.:  [A-1-1][A-1-2]

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 and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR, Class R and Class Z 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as

A-1-2 

Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable 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 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 immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

A-1-3 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO

A-1-4 

Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing 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 Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, 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;

(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 supplement any of its provisions which

A-1-5 

may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

(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, 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 that 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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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

A-1-6 

by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder 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 no Control Termination Event is continuing and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations have been obtained with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 shall 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 Credit 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 or rights of any

A-1-7 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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

A-1-8 

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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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 [           ] 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 and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR, Class R and Class Z 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by

A-2-2 

and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable 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 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 immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

A-2-3 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO

A-2-4 

Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing 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 Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, 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;

(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 supplement any of its provisions which

A-2-5

(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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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

A-2-6

(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 no Control Termination Event is continuing and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations have been obtained with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 shall 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 Credit 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 or rights of any

A-2-7 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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

A-2-8 

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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable 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 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 immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon

A-3-3 

presentment 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.

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier

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.

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 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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under

A-3-8 

the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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 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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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.

A-3-9 

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.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable to the Class A-5 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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.

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.

(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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 no Control Termination Event is continuing and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations have been obtained with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 shall 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 Credit 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

A-4-7 

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 or rights 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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under

A-4-8 

the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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 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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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.

A-4-9 

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 [           ] 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-SB Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class A-SB 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by

A-5-2 

and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable to the Class A-SB Certificates 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.

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-SB Certificates is the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

A-5-3 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO

A-5-4 

Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing 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 Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, 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;

(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 supplement any of its provisions which

A-5-5 

may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

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

A-5-7 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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

A-5-8 

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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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.

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-A Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class X-A Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank,

A-6-3 

National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable 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 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 immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

A-6-4 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO

A-6-5 

Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing 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 Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, 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;

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 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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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

A-6-9 

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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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.

CUSIP: [__] ISIN: [__]	Initial Notional Amount of this Certificate: $[__]
No.:  [X-B-1][X-B-2]

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 and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR, Class R and Class Z 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank,

A-7-3 

National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable 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 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 immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

A-7-4 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO

A-7-5 

Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing 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 Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, 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;

(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 supplement any of its provisions which

A-7-6 

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, 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, 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 that 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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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

A-7-7 

by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder 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 no Control Termination Event is continuing and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations have been obtained with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 shall 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 Credit 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 or rights of any

A-7-8 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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

A-7-9 

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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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 [           ] 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-D Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR, Class R and Class Z 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank,

A-8-3 

National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable 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 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 immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

A-8-4 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO

A-8-5 

Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing 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 Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, 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;

(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 supplement any of its provisions which

A-8-6 

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, 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, 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 that 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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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

A-8-7 

by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder 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 no Control Termination Event is continuing and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations have been obtained with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 shall 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 Credit 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 or rights of any

A-8-8 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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

A-8-9 

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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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.

The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR, Class R and Class Z 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as

A-9-2 

Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable 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 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 immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

A-9-3 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO

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.

(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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

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

A-9-7 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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

A-9-8 

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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class B Certificates is the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

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,

A-10-3 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each

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 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.

A-10-7 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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:

(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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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 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 any Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code.

A-10-8 

Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans(solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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

(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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 shall 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 Credit 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 or rights 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.

A-11-7 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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 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 any Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code.

A-11-8 

Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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

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 D Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR, Class R and Class Z 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations

A-12-3 

Reviewer, and Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable 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 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 immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

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,

A-12-4 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each

A-12-5 

Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing 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 Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, 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;

(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 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

A-12-6

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 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.

A-12-8 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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 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 any Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code.

A-12-9 

Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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

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 E Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR, Class R and Class Z 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank,

A-13-3 

National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable 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 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 immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

A-13-4 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO

A-13-5 

Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

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.

(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 no Control Termination Event is continuing and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations have been obtained with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 shall 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 Credit 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 or rights of any

A-13-8 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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

A-13-9 

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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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.

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 F-RR Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class F-RR 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank,

A-14-3 

National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable to the Class F-RR Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class F-RR Certificates is the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

A-14-4 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO

A-14-5 

Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing 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 Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, 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;

(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 supplement any of its provisions which

A-14-6 

may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

(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 that 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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 no Control Termination Event is continuing and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations have been obtained with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 shall 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 Credit 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 or rights of any

A-14-8 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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

A-14-9 

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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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.

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 G-RR Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class NR-RR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class G-RR 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank,

A-15-4 

National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable to the Class G-RR Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class G-RR Certificates is the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

A-15-5 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO

A-15-6 

Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing 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 Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, 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;

A-15-7

(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 that 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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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

A-15-8 

by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder 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 no Control Termination Event is continuing and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations have been obtained with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 shall 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 Credit 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 or rights of any

A-15-9 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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

A-15-10 

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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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.

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 [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class J-RR Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class J-RR 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank,

A-16-4 

National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable to the Class J-RR Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class J-RR Certificates is the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

A-16-5 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO

A-16-6 

Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing 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 Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, 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;

A-16-7

(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 that 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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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

A-16-8 

by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder 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 no Control Termination Event is continuing and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations have been obtained with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 shall 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 Credit 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 or rights of any

A-16-9 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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

A-16-10 

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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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.

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 NR-RR Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class J-RR, Class G-RR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class NR-RR 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank,

A-17-4 

National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable to the Class NR-RR Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class NR-RR Certificates is the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

A-17-5 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO

A-17-6 

Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing 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 Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, 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;

(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 supplement any of its provisions which

A-17-7 

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, 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, 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 that 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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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

A-17-8 

by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder 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 no Control Termination Event is continuing and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations have been obtained with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 shall 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 Credit 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 or rights of any

A-17-9 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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

A-17-10 

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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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.

COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES
SERIES 2021-PF1, CLASS R

Percentage Interest:  [__]%

Cut-off Date:  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in November 2021 for that Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of any Mortgage Loan that has its first Due Date after November 2021, the date that would have been its Due Date in November 2021 under the terms of that Mortgage Loan if a monthly payment were scheduled to be due in that month).

CUSIP: [__]

ISIN: [__]

No.:  R-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 R Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class J-RR, Class G-RR, Class NR-RR and Class Z 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined

A-18-3 

herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “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.

Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income. The Certificate Administrator shall be the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code for each Trust REMIC). The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, allocable to the Class R Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

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

A-18-4 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral

A-18-5 

accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing 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 Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, 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;

(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 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, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting

A-18-6 

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, 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 that 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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of

A-18-7 

any Certificateholder 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 no Control Termination Event is continuing and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations have been obtained with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 shall 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 Credit 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 or rights 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

A-18-8 

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 each such Class of Certificates 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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

A-18-9 

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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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.

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.

ISIN: [__]

No.:  [Z-1][Z-S-1][Z-2]

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 Z Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A 2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class NR-RR and Class R Certificates (together with the Class Z 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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations

A-19-2 

Reviewer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer. 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 the Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates and 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 of each month, commencing in December 2021 (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, if any, allocable to the Class Z Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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.

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

A-19-3 

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.

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 (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (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); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’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 (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Westchester Loan REMIC Regular Interest; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock-box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

A-19-4 

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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing 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 Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, 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;

(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 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, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting

A-19-5 

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, 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 that 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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder 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

A-19-6 

Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations have been obtained with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities;

(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 shall 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 Credit 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 or rights 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 each such Class of Certificates for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing

A-19-7 

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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any 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 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 any 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Holder(s).

A-19-8 

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, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is equal to or less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if a Mortgage Loan with an Anticipated Repayment Date is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then any such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date) as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer if the then-outstanding aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property is greater than or equal to 8.125% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and 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.

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” or “Trust 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 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 and (v) 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,

Re: 3650R 2021-PF1 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2021-PF1 (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 November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Asset Representations Reviewer and as Operating Advisor. 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 for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

Very truly yours,

(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 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.

Exhibit U-3

(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 the defeasance collateral and that the documents executed in connection with the defeasance are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

Re: Access to Certain Information Regarding 3650R 2021-PF1 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2021-PF1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Asset Representations Reviewer and as Operating Advisor. 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”)/3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC (“3650 REIT”) 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

Exhibit X-1

[_____] [__], 20[__]
Page 2

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.

Midland/3650 REIT 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 Midland/3650 REIT by third parties, (b) may not have been verified by Midland/3650 REIT, and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. The Company agrees that Midland/3650 REIT, the [“Master Servicer”/”Special Servicer”] (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and their 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) Midland/3650 REIT’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/3650 REIT; (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/3650 REIT; (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 Midland/3650 REIT’s election): (i) responses to reasonable written inquiries received from the Company, (ii) conference calls conducted on a reasonably scheduled basis with Midland/3605 REIT’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”). Midland/3650 REIT 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) Midland/3650 REIT 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. Midland/3650 REIT shall cease to provide the Company with Confidential Information if Midland/3650 REIT has actual knowledge that the Company or its Representatives are affiliates of any borrower under the Mortgage Loan documents and Midland/3650 REIT 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. Midland/3650 REIT’s remedies hereunder, at law or at equity, are cumulative and may be combined.

Exhibit X-2

[_____] [__], 20[__]
Page 3

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 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, Midland/3650 REIT 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 Midland/3650 REIT’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.

FORM OF 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 Representation 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 [    ] 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 Section [ ] through Section [ ] of 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.

Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2021, between Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Situs Holdings, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Paying Agent and as Custodian, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor.

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 Trust Loan.

The Trust Fund will consist of two REMICs, the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and the “Upper-Tier REMIC.” The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Trust Loan and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement (exclusive of Excess Interest and the proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account), and will issue (i) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests set forth in the table below (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), as classes of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC and (ii) the Class LR Certificates, as the sole class of residual interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC.

The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement and will issue (i) the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class HRR Certificates, each of which is a “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC and (ii) the Class R Certificates, as the sole class of residual interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

In addition, the parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of Excess Interest and distributions thereon, 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”). 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 the Trust REMICs. The Class S Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the Grantor Trust as described herein.

The following table sets forth the designation and Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of each Class of Certificates (other than the Class R and Class LR Certificates) (collectively, the “Corresponding Certificates”), and the corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest (the “Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest”) and the Corresponding Component of the Class X Certificates (the “Corresponding Component”) for each Class of Corresponding Certificates and each Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest.

Class of Certificates	Certificate Balance or Notional Amount		Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests(1)	Lower-Tier Principal Balance		Corresponding Component
Class A	$	200,690,000.00	LA	$	200,690,000.00	XA
Class X	$	200,690,000.00	LA		N/A	N/A
Class B	$	57,945,000.00	LB	$	57,945,000.00	N/A
Class C	$	258,191,000.00	LC	$	258,191,000.00	N/A
Class D	$	138,174,000.00	LD	$	138,174,000.00	N/A
Class HRR	$	41,000,000.00	LHRR	$	41,000,000.00	N/A

⁽¹⁾ The Lower-Tier Regular Interest and the Component of the Class X Certificates that correspond to any particular Class of Certificates also correspond to each other and, accordingly, constitute the (i) “Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest” and (ii) “Corresponding Component” respectively, with respect to each other. The Component Notional Amount for each such Corresponding Component of the Class X Certificates shall at all times equal the then Lower-Tier Principal Balance of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest.

The initial Certificate Balance of each of the Class R and Class LR Certificates is zero. Additionally, the Class R and Class LR Certificates do not have a Notional Amount. The Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates outstanding at any time represents the maximum amount which holders thereof are entitled to receive as distributions allocable to principal from the cash flow on the Trust Loan and the other assets in the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in the event that amounts previously allocated as Realized Losses to a Class of Certificates in reduction of the Certificate Balance thereof are subsequently recovered (including, without limitation, after the reduction of the Certificate Balance of such Class to zero), such Class may receive distributions in respect of such recoveries in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement.

The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Trust Loan to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on the Upper-Tier REMIC regular interests, without creating any shortfall, actual or potential (other than for credit losses), to any REMIC regular interests. To the extent that the structure is believed to diverge from such intention, the parties identifying such ambiguity shall notify the other parties hereto and the parties involved will resolve such ambiguities to accomplish the intended result and will, to the extent necessary, rectify any drafting errors or seek clarification to the structure without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of counsel) to accomplish such intention, including, to the extent necessary, making any amendments in accordance with Section 10.08.

As of the Cut-off Date, the Trust Loan has a Stated Principal Balance equal to approximately $696,000,000.

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the other parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

The total amount of Workout Fees payable by the Trust with respect to the Corrected Mortgage Loan and with respect to any particular workout (assuming, for the purposes of this calculation, that the Corrected Mortgage Loan continues to perform throughout its term in accordance with the terms of the related workout) shall be reduced by the amount of any and all Offsetting Modification Fees received by the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation relating to the Corrected Mortgage Loan; provided that the Special Servicer shall be entitled to collect such Workout Fees from the Trust until such time it has been fully paid such reduced amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trust Loan Sellers shall pay a Workout Fee in connection with a repurchase to the extent the Special Servicer was entitled to such a fee and such fee was unpaid immediately prior to such repurchase or was previously paid by the Trust and was not reimbursed by the Borrowers immediately prior to such repurchase. In furtherance of the foregoing, upon the Specially Serviced Loan becoming a Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with a calculation of the total amount of Workout Fees expected to be payable by the Trust with respect to the Corrected Mortgage Loan throughout its term (which calculation shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer) and the total amount of Offsetting Modification Fees received by the Special Servicer.

Section 1.02       Certain Calculations. Unless otherwise specified herein, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)          All calculations of interest with respect to the Whole Loan (and of Advances in respect thereof) provided for herein shall be made on Actual/360 Basis. The Servicing Fee, the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee, the Operating Advisor Fee and the CREFC^® License Fee for the Trust Loan shall accrue on the same basis as interest accrues on the Whole Loan. Each Class of Regular Certificates will accrue interest on a 30/360 basis.

(b)          Any Whole Loan payment is deemed to be received on the date such payment is actually received by the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates and Prepayment Interest Excess, Principal Prepayments with respect to the Whole Loan are deemed to be received on the date they are applied in accordance with Section 3.01(b) of this Agreement to reduce the Stated Principal Balance of the Whole Loan on which interest accrues.

(c)          Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement, any amounts received in respect of the Whole Loan as to which a default has occurred and is continuing in excess of Monthly Payments shall be applied to Default Interest and other amounts due on the Whole Loan prior to the application to late fees.

(d)          Allocations of payments between the Trust Loan and the related Companion Loan shall be made in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement.

(e)          All amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of the Whole Loan in the form of payments from the Borrowers, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds (exclusive of any amounts payable to the Companion Loan Holders pursuant

-77-

to the Co-Lender Agreement) shall be allocated to amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents (including for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement; provided, however, that absent such express provisions, all such amounts collected (exclusive of any amounts payable to the Companion Loan Holders pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement) shall be deemed to be allocated for purposes of collecting amounts due under the Whole Loan in the following order of priority:

(i)           as a recovery of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to the Trust Loan or Whole Loan with respect to Property Advances or Nonrecoverable Advances and unpaid interest at the Advance Rate on such Advances and, if applicable, unreimbursed and unpaid Additional Trust Fund Expenses with respect to the Whole Loan (including Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees previously paid by the Trust from general collections);

(ii)          as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances and any interest at the Advance Rate thereon, to the extent previously allocated to principal collections with respect to the Trust Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable;

(iii)         to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause (i) and clause (ii) above, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan (exclusive of Default Interest and Excess Interest) to the extent of the excess of (A) accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan at the Trust Loan Rate to, but not including, the date of receipt by or on behalf of the Trust (or, in the case of a full Monthly Payment from the Borrowers, through the related Due Date), over (B) the sum of (1) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to Section 1.02(f)(v) on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in subclause (A) of this Section 1.02(e)(iii) that (a)(x) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of the interest portion of the related P&I Advances for the Trust Loan that have theretofore occurred under Section 4.07(e) of this Agreement in connection with Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to any accrued and unpaid interest or (y) was not advanced due to a determination that the related P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, but (in the case of this clause (y)) only up to the amount of interest that (absent such determination of nonrecoverability preventing such P&I Advance from being made) would nonetheless not have been advanced because of the reductions in the amount of the related P&I Advances for the Trust Loan that would have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts, and (b) Accrued AB Loan Interest allocable to the Trust Loan;

(iv)         to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause (i) and clause (ii) above, as a recovery of principal of the Trust Loan then due and owing, including by reason of acceleration of the Trust Loan following a default thereunder (or, if the Trust Loan has been liquidated, as a recovery of principal to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance);

(v)          as a recovery of (a) accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan to the extent of the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of the interest portion of P&I Advances for the Trust Loan that have occurred under Section 4.07(e) of

(vii)        as a recovery of any other reserves to the extent then required to be held in escrow with respect to the Whole Loan (and allocable to the Trust Loan);

(viii)       as a recovery of any Prepayment Charges then due and owing under the Trust Loan;

(ix)         as a recovery of any late payment charges and Default Interest then due and owing under the Whole Loan (and allocable to the Trust Loan);

(xi)         as a recovery of any other amounts then due and owing under the Trust Loan other than remaining unpaid principal (if both consent fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees are due and owing, first, allocated to consent fees and then, allocated to Operating Advisor Consulting Fees);

(xii)        as a recovery of any remaining principal of the Trust Loan to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance; and

(xiii)       after the Anticipated Repayment Date, as a recovery of any accrued and unpaid Excess Interest;

provided that, to the extent required under the REMIC Provisions of the Code, payments or proceeds received with respect to any partial release of the Mortgaged Properties (including following a condemnation) at a time when the loan-to-value ratio of the Whole Loan exceeds 125% (based solely on the value of real property and excluding personal property and going concern value) must be allocated to reduce the principal balance of the Whole Loan in the manner permitted by such REMIC Provisions.

(f)           Collections by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of the REO Property (exclusive of amounts to be allocated to the payment of the costs of operating, managing, leasing, maintaining and disposing of the REO Property and exclusive of any amounts payable to the Companion Loan Holders pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement) shall be deemed to be allocated for purposes of collecting amounts due under the Whole Loan in the following order of priority:

-79-

(ii)          as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances and any interest at the Advance Rate thereon to the extent previously allocated to principal collections with respect to the Trust Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable;

(iii)         to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause (i) and clause (ii) above, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan (exclusive of Default Interest and Excess Interest) to the extent of the excess of (A) accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan at the Trust Loan Rate to, but not including, the date of receipt by or on behalf of the Trust (or, in the case of a full Monthly Payment from the Borrowers, through the related Payment Date), over (ii) the sum of (1) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to Section 1.02(f)(v) or Section 1.02(e)(v) on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in subclause (i) of this Section 1.02(f)(iii) that (a)(x) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of the interest portion of the related P&I Advances for the Trust Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to any accrued and unpaid interest or (y) was not advanced due to a determination that the related P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, but (in the case of this clause (y)) only up to the amount of interest that (absent such determination of nonrecoverability preventing such P&I Advance from being made) would nonetheless not have been advanced because of the reductions in the amount of the related P&I Advances for the Trust Loan that would have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts, and (2) Accrued AB Loan Interest allocable to the Trust Loan;

(iv)         to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause (i) and clause (ii) above, as a recovery of principal of the Trust Loan to the extent of its entire unpaid principal balance;

In the event that any such document or instrument in respect of the Whole Loan is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Trust Loan Sellers shall promptly prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute thereof or cure or cause the curing of such defect, as the case may be, and shall thereafter deliver the substitute or corrected document to or at the direction of the Custodian for recording or filing, as appropriate, at the expense of the Trust Loan Sellers (as set forth in the related Trust Loan Purchase Agreement).

If the Trust Loan Sellers cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to the Whole Loan, the original or a copy of the related lender’s title insurance policy referred to in Section 2.01(a)(vii) solely because such policy has not yet been issued, the delivery requirements of this Section 2.01 will be deemed to be satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item will be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File by delivery to the Custodian of a binder marked as binding and countersigned by the title insurer or its authorized agent (which may be a pro forma or specimen title insurance policy which has been accepted or approved as binding in writing by the related title insurance company) or an acknowledged closing instruction or escrow letter, and the Trust Loan Sellers shall be required to deliver to the Custodian, promptly following the receipt thereof, the original related lender’s title insurance policy (or a copy thereof). Copies of recorded

-86-

or filed Assignments of Mortgage and UCC assignments of financing statements shall be held by the Custodian.

Subject to the third preceding paragraph, all original documents relating to the Whole Loan which are not delivered to the Custodian are and shall be held by the Depositor or the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer on its behalf), as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders. In the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of the Mortgage File in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian.

If the Trust Loan Sellers cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to the Trust Loan, the original Trust Notes, the Trust Loan Sellers shall deliver a copy or duplicate original of such Trust Notes, together with an affidavit certifying that the original thereof has been lost or destroyed and an indemnification in favor of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian.

A “Breach” shall mean a breach of any representation or warranty of a Trust Loan Seller made pursuant to the related Trust Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Trust Loan. If any party hereto discovers or receives notice of a Defect or a Breach, and if such Defect is a Material Document Defect or such Breach is a Material Breach, as applicable, then such party, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall upon its actual knowledge thereof notify the Trust Loan Sellers, the other parties hereto and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) and the Companion Loan Holders. If any such Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects the value of the Trust Loan, the value of the Mortgaged Properties or the interests of the Trust in the Trust Loan hereunder or causes the Trust Loan to be other than a Qualified Mortgage, then such Defect shall constitute a “Material Document Defect” or such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach,” as the case may be; provided, however, that if any of the documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (vii) and (xviii) of Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement are not delivered as required in each Trust Loan Purchase Agreement and certified as missing pursuant to Section 2.02 of this Agreement, it shall be deemed a Material Document Defect; provided, further, that no Defect (except as provided in the immediately preceding proviso and Defects that cause the Trust Loan to be other than a Qualified Mortgage) shall be considered to be a Material Document Defect unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the Trust Loan, defending any claim asserted by the Borrowers or a third party with respect to the Trust Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the Trust Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation. The Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not be required to make any such determination absent written notice or direction from Certificateholders in accordance with Section 8.02(a)(iii).

-94-

Material Document Defect or Material Breach is capable of being cured but not within the Initial Resolution Period, (ii) such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not related to the Trust Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) a Trust Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach within the Initial Resolution Period, then such Trust Loan Seller shall have an additional period equal to the applicable Resolution Extension Period to complete such cure or, failing such cure, to repurchase its Trust Loan Seller Transferred Interest or indemnify the Trust in respect of its Trust Loan Seller Percentage Interest of losses. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if such Material Breach or Material Document Defect would cause the Trust Loan to be other than a Qualified Mortgage, then, within 90 days of the date of discovery of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, the applicable Trust Loan Seller shall (i) cure the same in all material respects or (ii) repurchase its Trust Loan Seller Percentage Interest in the Trust Loan at an amount equal to its Trust Loan Seller Percentage Interest of the Repurchase Price. Any Breach or Defect that causes the Trust Loan not to be a Qualified Mortgage shall be deemed a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to deliver to the Trustee and the Custodian copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to the Trust Loan shall not be a Material Document Defect.

(f)           In connection with any repurchase of the Trust Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, subject to Section 2.03(j), (A) the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the Trust Loan Sellers or their designees all portions of the Mortgage File (in the case of the Custodian) and the Servicing File (in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable) (including the original Trust Notes related to each Trust Loan Seller’s Trust Loan Seller Transferred Interest in the Trust Loan) and other documents pertaining to the Trust Loan possessed by it, upon delivery (i) to each of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of a trust receipt and (ii) to the Custodian by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of a Request for Release and an acknowledgement by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of its receipt of each Trust Loan Seller Percentage Interest of the Repurchase Price from the Trust Loan Sellers, (B) each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned without recourse in the form of endorsement or assignment provided to the Custodian by the Trust Loan Sellers, as the case may be, to the Trust Loan Sellers as shall be necessary to vest in the Trust Loan Sellers the legal and beneficial ownership of each Trust Loan Seller’s respective repurchased Trust Loan Seller Transferred Interest in the Trust Loan to the extent such ownership was transferred to the Trustee (provided, however, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate in furnishing necessary information to the extent in its possession to the Trust Loan Sellers in connection with the preparation by the Trust Loan Sellers of such endorsement or assignment) and (C) the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall release, or cause the release of, any escrow payments and reserve funds held by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, or on the Certificate Administrator’s, the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, behalf, in respect of the Trust Loan to the Trust Loan Sellers in accordance with their respective repurchased Trust Loan Seller Transferred Interests in the Trust Loan.

(g)          The Master Servicer (with respect to a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders

-95-

and the Trustee, use reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of the related Trust Loan Seller(s) under Section 6 of the related Trust Loan Purchase Agreement(s). Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, shall be carried out in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement (with respect to the Trust Loan), out of the related Repurchase Price or indemnification amounts to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and second, if at the conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clause first are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, out of general collections on the Trust Loan on deposit in the Collection Account in each case with interest thereon at the Advance Rate from the time such expense was incurred to, but excluding, the date such expense was reimbursed. To the extent the Trust Loan Sellers prevail in such proceeding, the Trust Loan Sellers shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust for all necessary and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding.

So long as document exceptions are outstanding, on each anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall prepare and forward to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trust Loan Sellers, a document exception report setting forth the then current status of any Defects related to the Mortgage Files in a format mutually agreed upon between the Custodian and the Trustee.

It is understood and agreed that Section 6 of each Trust Loan Purchase Agreement provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders respecting any Breach (including a Breach with respect to the Trust Loan failing to constitute a Qualified Mortgage) or any Defect.

(h)          In the event that any litigation is commenced which alleges facts which, in the judgment of the Depositor, could constitute a breach of any of the Depositor’s representations and warranties relating to the Trust Loan, the Depositor hereby reserves the right to conduct the defense of such litigation at its expense and shall not be required to obtain any consent from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, unless such defense results in any liability of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

(i)           If for any reason any Trust Loan Seller fails to fulfill its obligations under the related Trust Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Trust Loan, the Master Servicer (with respect to a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) shall use reasonable efforts in enforcing any obligation of such Trust Loan Seller to cure or repurchase or make an indemnity payment with respect to its Trust Loan Seller Transferred Interest under the terms of their related Trust Loan Purchase Agreement all at the expense of the related Trust Loan Seller.

(j)           To the extent that not all of the Trust Loan Sellers repurchase their respective Trust Loan Seller Percentage Interests pursuant to the terms of the respective Trust Loan Purchase Agreements, the portion of the Trust Loan so repurchased shall be a Companion Loan subject in all respects to the Co-Lender Agreement.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE TRUST FUND

Section 3.01         The Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer; Special Servicer To Act as Special Servicer; Administration of the Whole Loan. (a) The Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan), each as an independent contractor servicer, shall service and administer the Whole Loan on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Trustee (as Trustee for the Certificateholders) and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender), in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

The Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s liability for actions and omissions in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder is limited as provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof). To the extent consistent with the foregoing and subject to any express limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Notes; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer of the collectability of the Whole Loan. Subject only to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through one or more Sub-Servicers (subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 3.01, to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement with each Sub-Servicer and to Section 3.02 of this Agreement), to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration that it may deem consistent with the Servicing Standard and, in its reasonable judgment, in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender), including, without limitation, with respect to the Whole Loan to prepare, execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Companion Loan Holders and the Trustee or any of them: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien on the Mortgaged Properties and related collateral; (ii) any modifications, waivers, consents or amendments to or with respect to any documents contained in the Mortgage File; and (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Whole Loan and the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall modify, amend, waive or otherwise consent to any change of the terms of the Whole Loan except under the circumstances described in Section 3.03, Section 3.09, Section 3.10, Section 3.24, Section 3.25 and Section 3.26 hereof. The Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) shall provide to the Borrowers reports required to be provided to it pursuant to the Loan Documents. Subject to Section 3.11 of this Agreement, the Trustee shall, upon the receipt of a written request of a Servicing Officer, execute and deliver to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, any powers of attorney (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents (including, but not

-105-

limited to, other powers of attorney) prepared by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, and necessary or appropriate (as certified in such written request) to enable the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity; provided, however, that in those jurisdictions in which the foregoing requirement would not be legally or procedurally permissible, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or provide such prior written notice as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall determine in its reasonable judgment exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to be reasonably practicable prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding) (and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s written consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity) or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.

(b)          Unless otherwise provided in the Notes, the Loan Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, the Master Servicer shall apply any partial Principal Prepayment received on the Whole Loan on a date other than a Due Date to the Stated Principal Balance of the Whole Loan as of the Due Date immediately following the date of receipt of such partial Principal Prepayment; provided that the Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to apply any total or partial Principal Prepayment received on the Whole Loan on a date following a Due Date but prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the related Servicer Remittance Date to the Stated Principal Balance of the Whole Loan as of the Due Date immediately preceding the date of receipt of such total or partial Principal Prepayment. Unless otherwise provided in the Notes, if the Whole Loan is defeased, the Master Servicer shall apply any amounts received on U.S. Treasury obligations pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents to the Stated Principal Balance of and interest on the Whole Loan as of the Due Date immediately following the receipt of such amounts.

(c)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with third parties with respect to any of its respective obligations hereunder, provided that (i) any such agreement requires the Sub-Servicer to comply in all material respects with all of the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall be consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement, (ii) if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant, any such agreement provides that (x) the failure of such Sub-Servicer to comply with any of the requirements under Section 3.27, Section 3.28 or Section 3.29 of this Agreement applicable to such Sub-Servicer, including the failure to deliver any reports or certificates at the time such report or certification is required under Section 3.27, Section 3.28 or Section 3.29 of this Agreement and (y) the failure of such Sub-Servicer to comply with any requirements to deliver any items required by Items 1122 and 1123 of Regulation AB under any other trust and servicing agreement relating to any other series of certificates offered by the Depositor shall constitute a termination event by such Sub-Servicer upon the occurrence of which the Master Servicer shall (and the Depositor may) immediately terminate the related Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, which termination shall be deemed for cause, (iii) no Sub-Servicer retained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall

-106-

grant any modification, waiver or amendment to the Whole Loan or foreclose on the Mortgage without the approval of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, which approval shall be given or withheld in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09, Section 3.10, Section 3.24, Section 3.25 and Section 3.26 (as applicable), (iv) such agreement shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard, (v) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant, such Sub-Servicer, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, is not a Prohibited Party and (ix) shall be terminable if at any time the related Sub-Servicer is a Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of a Successor Third Party Purchaser and such Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB. Any such Sub-Servicing Agreement may permit the Sub-Servicer to delegate its duties to agents or Subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or Subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.01(c) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such agent or Subcontractor is a Prohibited Party, if such agent or Subcontractor would be a Servicing Function Participant, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into). Any monies received by a Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement (other than sub-servicing fees) shall be deemed to be received by the Master Servicer on the date received by such Sub-Servicer.

No party shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a Sub-Servicer that is a Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of a Successor Third Party Purchaser if such Sub-Servicer would be a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the parties to this Agreement, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, may conclusively rely upon a representation of any “Initial Sub-Servicer” (as set forth on Exhibit AA) that such Sub-Servicer is not, to its actual knowledge, a Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of a Successor Third Party Purchaser. If at any time a party to this transaction obtains actual knowledge that such Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB and is a Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of a Successor Third Party Purchaser, such party shall terminate such Sub-Servicer in accordance with the related Sub- Servicing Agreement.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide that it may be assumed by the Trustee (in its sole discretion) if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, or any successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the assuming party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by such party of the obligations, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.02 (it being understood that any such obligations shall be the obligations of the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, only).

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Whole Loan involving a Sub-Servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such Sub-Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Trust Fund, Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights (except as specified below), obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer, except as set forth in Section 3.01(c)(ii) and Section 3.01(d).

(d)          If the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer, or if the Trustee or any successor Special Servicer assumes the obligations of the Special Servicer, in each case in accordance with Section 7.02, the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, to carry out the provisions of Section 7.02, shall, without act or deed on the part of the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.01(c). In such event, such successor shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s interest, as applicable, therein (but not any liabilities or obligations in respect of acts or omissions of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, prior to such deemed assumption) and to have replaced the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a party to such Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to such successor, except that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement that accrued prior to the succession of such successor.

Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and any Person acting as 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee (on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders) and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Whole Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Depositor or any other 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, alone was servicing and administering the Whole Loan. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any Sub-Servicer providing for indemnification of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 Whole Loan Payments.

With respect to the Performing Loan, the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to collect income statements and rent rolls from the Borrowers as required by the Loan Documents and the terms hereof. The Master Servicer shall provide at least 90 days’ notice (with a copy to the Special Servicer) to the Borrowers of Balloon Payments coming due.

In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to take such actions with respect to the collection of payments on the Whole Loan as is permitted or required under this Agreement.

-109-

Properties reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that is or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto. If the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to collect income statements and rent rolls from the Borrowers as required by the Loan Documents. The Special Servicer, in the case of an REO Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of the Whole Loan, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to, from time to time, (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) effect, or, if the Special Servicer, to use reasonable efforts to cause the Master Servicer to effect, payment of all such bills with respect to the 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 Loan Documents. If the Borrowers fail to make any such payment on a timely basis or collections from the Borrowers 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 (provided that with respect to advancing insurance premiums or delinquent tax assessments the Master Servicer shall comply with the provisions of Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Property Advances, with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, that it makes pursuant to this Section 3.04 of this Agreement from amounts received on or in respect of the Whole Loan respecting which such Advance was made or if such Advance has become a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this Agreement. 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 Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Whole Loan so permit.

(b)          The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received 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 and maintained in accordance with the requirements of the Whole Loan and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer shall also deposit into each Escrow Account any amounts representing losses on Permitted Investments to the extent required pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement and any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds which are required to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the Whole Loan. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts (except to the extent the Loan Documents require it to be held in an account that is not an Eligible Account); provided, however, that in the event the ratings of the financial institution holding such account are downgraded to a ratings level below that of an Eligible Account (except to the extent the Loan Documents require it to be held in an account that is not an Eligible Account), the Master Servicer shall have 30 Business Days (or such longer time as confirmed by a No Downgrade Confirmation, obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer relating to the Certificates) to transfer such account to an Eligible Account.

(ii)          to transfer funds to the Collection Account (or any sub-account thereof) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Trustee for any Property Advance (with interest thereon at the Advance Rate) relating to Escrow Payments, but only from amounts received with respect to the Whole Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iii)         for application to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Whole Loan and the Servicing Standard;

(iv)         to clear and terminate such Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement or pay-off of the Whole Loan;

(v)          to pay from time to time to the Borrowers any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account if such income is required to be paid to the Borrowers under law or by the terms of the Loan Documents, or otherwise to the Master Servicer; or

(vi)         to remove any funds deposited in an Escrow Account that were not required to be deposited therein or to refund amounts to the Borrowers determined to be overages.

(c)          The Master Servicer shall, as to the Whole Loan (i) maintain accurate records with respect to the Mortgaged Properties reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof and (ii) use reasonable efforts to obtain, from time to time, all bills for (or otherwise confirm) the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and, if the Whole Loan requires the Borrowers to escrow for such items, shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date. For purposes of effecting any such payment for which it is responsible, the Master Servicer shall apply Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the Loan Documents (or, if the Whole Loan does not require the Borrowers to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Borrowers to comply with the requirement of the Mortgage that the Borrowers 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 Mortgaged Properties for nonpayment of such items).

Defect giving rise to a repurchase obligation of a Trust Loan Seller under Section 6 of the related Trust Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the repurchase obligation, together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, each such Person’s right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (vii) with respect to the Trust Loan subject to the following: (a) if the Repurchase Price is paid for the Trust Loan, then such Person’s right to reimbursement shall be limited to that portion of the Repurchase Price that represents such expense in accordance with clause (e) of the definition of Repurchase Price, or (b) if no Repurchase Price or an indemnity payment pursuant to Section 2.03(e) is paid and proceedings are instituted to enforce the Trust Loan Sellers’ payment or performance pursuant to each Trust Loan Purchase Agreement, then such Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust following the adjudication of such proceedings in favor of the Trust Loan Sellers or settlement of the Breach or Defect claim with respect to collections relating to the Trust Loan;

(viii)       to pay itself all Prepayment Interest Excesses on the Whole Loan (if and to the extent any such Prepayment Interest Excess exceeds any Master Servicer Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amounts calculated pursuant to Section 3.17(c) of this Agreement);

(ix)         (A) to pay itself, as additional Servicing Compensation in accordance with Section 3.12(a) of this Agreement, (1) interest and investment income earned in respect of amounts relating to the Trust Fund held in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.12(b) of this Agreement (but only to the extent of the net investment earnings with respect to such Collection Account for any period from any Distribution Date to the immediately succeeding Servicer Remittance Date) and (2) Penalty Charges on the Whole Loan so long as it is not a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan, but only to the extent collected from the Borrowers and only to the extent that all amounts then due and payable with respect to the Whole Loan have been paid and are not needed to pay interest on Advances or Companion Loan Advances in accordance with Section 3.12 and/or pay or reimburse the Trust for Additional Trust Fund Expenses incurred with respect to the Whole Loan during or prior to the related Collection Period (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees); and (B) to pay the Special Servicer, as additional servicing compensation in accordance with Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement, Penalty Charges on the Whole Loan so long as it is a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan, but only to the extent collected from the Borrowers and only to the extent that all amounts then due and payable with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan have been paid and are not needed to pay interest on Advances or Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees), all in accordance with Section 3.12;

(x)          to pay itself, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor or any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, employees and agents, as the case may be, any amounts payable to any such Person pursuant to Section 6.03(a) of this Agreement;

(xii)        to pay out of general collections on the Whole Loan and REO Property any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of their assets or transactions, together with all incidental costs and expenses, to the extent that none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is liable therefor pursuant to this Agreement;

(xiii)       to reimburse the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator out of general collections on the Whole Loan and REO Property for expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it by the Trust Fund;

(xv)        to pay to itself, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Depositor, as the case may be, any amount specifically required to be paid to such Person at the expense of the Trust Fund under any provision of this Agreement to which reference is not made in any other clause of this Section 3.06, it being acknowledged that this clause (xv) shall not be construed to modify any limitation or requirement otherwise set forth in this Agreement as to the time at which any Person is entitled to payment or reimbursement of any amount or as to the funds from which any such payment or reimbursement is permitted to be made;

(xvi)       to withdraw from the Collection Account any sums deposited therein in error and pay such sums to the Persons entitled thereto;

(xxiii)             to make remittances each month in an aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal to the Remittance Amount to the Companion Loan Holders in accordance with Section 3.05(h) and in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement, including amounts to be remitted to the Companion Loan Holders or the Companion Loan Servicer Providers under clauses (iii), (v) and (vi); provided that Liquidation Proceeds relating to the repurchase of the Companion Loan by the related seller thereof shall be remitted solely to the holder of the Companion Loan, as the case may be, and Liquidation Proceeds relating to the repurchase of a Trust Loan related to the Whole Loan by the related Trust Loan Seller shall be remitted solely to the Collection Account.

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.06(a), any such amounts payable from the Collection Account to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or to itself for which the Master Servicer (or the Trustee) is required to advance as an Administrative Advance shall be paid from Administrative Advances therefor deposited into the Collection Account (or deemed deposited into the Collection Account if such payment is advanced by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee) directly to the party entitled to such payment).

Upon written request, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator such records and any other information in the possession of the Master Servicer to enable the Certificate Administrator to determine the amounts attributable to the Lower-Tier REMIC.

The Master Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Special Servicer from the Collection Account amounts permitted to be paid to the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Special Servicer therefrom, promptly upon receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator, a Responsible Officer of the Operating Advisor or a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer, as applicable, describing the item and amount to which such Person is entitled (unless such payment to the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is specifically required pursuant to this Agreement and the timing and the amount of payment is specified in, or calculable pursuant to, this Agreement, in which case a certificate is not required). The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate and shall have no duty to recalculate the amounts stated therein.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and CREFC^® shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on deposit in the Collection Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of the Servicing Compensation (including investment income), Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees, Special Servicing Compensation (including investment income), the Operating Advisor Fees, the CREFC^® License Fee, Advances, Advance Interest Amounts (for the Master Servicer or the Trustee), their respective indemnification payments (if any) pursuant to Section 6.03, Section 8.05 or Section 10.02 of this Agreement (for each of such Persons other than CREFC^®), their respective expenses hereunder to the extent such fees and expenses are to be reimbursed or paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any fees or expenses (including legal fees) for

-120-

which a party is to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.03 herein may be submitted directly to the Trust Fund to be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on deposit in the Collection Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of any federal, state or local taxes imposed on either Trust REMIC.

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 Whole Loan 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 3.06 or Section 3.06(b) of this Agreement immediately, may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the Collection Period ending on the then-current Determination Date for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed 12 months. 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 discretion to elect 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 (in its sole discretion) to wait for principal collections on the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan to be received before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance (or portion thereof) until the end of such Collection Period; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall give notice of its election to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), at least 15 days prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Whole Loan unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Trustee determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer or the Trustee 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 Trustee has not timely received from the Certificate Administrator information requested by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause (1), (2) or (3) apply, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall give notice of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Whole Loan as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement). Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall

-121-

have any liability for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any notice provided to each Rating Agency contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.

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 3.06 or to comply with the terms of this Section 3.06 and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it should recover the Nonrecoverable Advances without deferral as described above, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Advance Rate from all amounts in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date. 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 Advance 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, election to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders 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 Companion Loan Holders. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders 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). In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be (a) in accordance with the Servicing Standard with respect to the Master Servicer and (b) in accordance with good faith business judgment, with respect to the Trustee, and in each case, 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 the Companion Loan Holders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this Section 3.06 or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election.

None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be permitted to reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance.

If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, is reimbursed out of general collections for any unreimbursed Advances that are determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances (together with any interest accrued and payable thereon at the Advance Rate), then (for purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates) such reimbursement and payment of interest shall be deemed to have been made: first, out of the Principal Distribution Amount, which, but for its application to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to pay interest thereon at the Advance Rate, would be included in Available Funds for any subsequent Distribution Date and, second, out of other amounts which, but for their application to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to pay interest thereon, would be included in Available Funds for any subsequent Distribution Date.

(b)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to the Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the related Collection Account and remit to the Companion Loan Holders, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly

-122-

identified funds, any amounts that represent Late Collections or Principal Prepayments on the Companion Loan or any successor REO Loan with respect thereto (exclusive of any portion of such amount payable or reimbursable to any third party in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement or this Agreement), unless such amount would otherwise be included in the monthly remittance to the holder of the Companion Loan for such month; 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 Late Collections or Principal Prepayments to the applicable Other Servicer 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.

If the Master Servicer fails, as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on any Servicer Remittance Date or any other date a remittance is required to be made, to remit to the Certificate Administrator (in respect of the Trust Loan) or the Companion Loan Holders (in respect of the Companion Loan) any amounts required to be so remitted hereunder by such date (including any P&I Advance pursuant to Section 4.07), the Master Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator (in respect of the Trust Loan) or the Companion Loan Holders (in respect of the Companion Loan), for the account of the Certificate Administrator (in respect of the Trust Loan) or Companion Loan Holders (in respect of the Companion Loan), interest, calculated at the Prime Rate, on such amount(s) not timely remitted, from the time such payment was required to be made (without regard to any grace period) until (but not including) the date such late payment is received by the Certificate Administrator or the Companion Loan Holders, as applicable.

(c)                 On each Servicer Remittance Date, all net income and gain realized from investment of funds to which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is entitled pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

(d)                 If amounts required to pay the expenses allocable to the Companion Loan exceed amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have sought reimbursement from the Trust Fund with respect to such expenses allocable to the Companion Loan, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall seek (on behalf of the Trust Fund, subject to the Co-Lender Agreement) payment or reimbursement for the pro rata portion of such expenses allocable to the Companion Loan from the Companion Loan Holders or, if the Companion Loan has been deposited into a securitization, out of general collections in the collection account established pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(e)                 [Reserved.]

(f)                 The Certificate Administrator, may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account for any of the following purposes (the order set forth below shall not indicate any order of priority), in each case to the extent not previously paid from the Collection Account:

(i)                 to make deposits of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Prepayment Charges distributable pursuant to Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement in the

-123-

Upper-Tier Distribution Account, and to make distributions on the Class LR Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement;

(ii)                 to pay itself, the Trustee and the Custodian respective portions of any accrued but unpaid Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees;

(iii)                to pay itself an amount equal to all net income and gain realized from investment of funds in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement;

(iv)                to pay to itself, the Trustee, the Custodian or any of their directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents, as the case may be, any amounts payable or reimbursable to any such Person pursuant to Section 8.05(c) and Section 8.05(d) of this Agreement;

(v)                 to recoup any amounts deposited in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in error; and

(vi)                to clear and terminate the Lower-Tier Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 of this Agreement.

(g)                 The Certificate Administrator, may make withdrawals from the Upper-Tier Distribution Account for any of the following purposes:

(i)                  to make distributions to Certificateholders (other than Holders of the Class LR Certificates) on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 or 9.01 of this Agreement, as applicable;

(ii)                 to recoup any amounts deposited in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account in error; and

(iii)                to clear and terminate the Upper-Tier Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 of this Agreement.

Section 3.07     Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the REO Account, the Lock-Box Accounts, the Cash Collateral Accounts and the Reserve Accounts. (a)  The Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account and the Borrower Accounts (as defined below and subject to the second succeeding sentence)) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any REO Account) may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Borrower Accounts and the REO Account (each such account, for purposes of this Section 3.07, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account maintained by it 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 investment of funds on deposit in an Investment Account by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be documented in writing and shall provide evidence that such 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, Lock-Box Account, Cash Collateral Account or

-124-

Reserve Account (the “Borrower Accounts”), the Master Servicer shall act upon the written request of the Borrowers or Manager to the extent that the Master Servicer is required to do so under the terms of the Loan Documents, provided that in the absence of appropriate written instructions from the Borrowers 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 (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Borrowers 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 directions of the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Borrowers 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 directions of the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Borrowers or 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) 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) that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment Account.

(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) the Borrower Accounts, which shall be for the benefit of the Borrowers to the extent required under the Loan Documents or applicable law or (ii) the REO Account, which shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer) and, if held in the Collection Account or REO Account shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.06 or Section 3.15(b) of this Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer, or with respect to the REO Account, the Special Servicer, shall deposit from its own funds into the Collection Account or any REO Account, as applicable, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or the 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 the Borrower Account immediately upon realization of such loss the amount of any loss incurred in respect of Permitted Investments, except to the extent that amounts are invested at the direction of or for the benefit of the Borrowers under the terms of the Loan Documents or applicable law; 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

-125-

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 has satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at the time the investment was made and (y) 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, in either case as a result of an action or inaction of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trustee 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. In the event the Trustee takes any such action, (i) the Master Servicer, if such Permitted Investment was for the benefit of the Master Servicer or (ii) the Special Servicer, if such Permitted Investment was for the benefit of the Special Servicer, 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.

(d)            For the avoidance of doubt, the Collection Account, each REO Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Lower-Tier Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by the Lower-Tier REMIC, and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account shall be owned by the Upper-Tier REMIC, each for federal income tax purposes.

Section 3.08        Maintenance of Insurance Policies and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a)  Unless the Whole Loan is an REO Loan, the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Borrowers to maintain the following insurance coverage (including identifying the extent to which the Borrowers are maintaining insurance coverage and, if the Borrowers do not maintain such coverage, the Master Servicer will itself cause such coverage to be maintained with Qualified Insurers) for the Mortgaged Properties: (x) except where the Loan Documents permit the Borrowers to rely on self-insurance provided by a tenant, a fire and casualty extended coverage insurance policy, which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation, in an amount that is at least equal to the full replacement cost of improvements securing the Whole Loan, but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause and (y) all other insurance coverage (including, but not limited to, coverage for acts of terrorism) that is required, subject to applicable law, under the Loan Documents; provided that:

(i)             the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on the Mortgaged Properties unless the Trustee has an insurable interest and such insurance policy was (x) in effect at the time of the origination of the Whole Loan, or (y) was required by the Loan Documents and is available at commercially reasonable rates, provided that the Master Servicer shall require the Borrowers to maintain such insurance in the amount, in the case of clause (x), maintained at origination, and in the case of clause (y), required by the Whole Loan to the extent such amounts are available at commercially reasonable rates and to the extent the Trustee has an insurable interest;

-126-

(ii)            if and to the extent that the Loan Document grants the lender thereunder any discretion (by way of consent, approval or otherwise) as to the insurance provider from whom the Borrowers are to obtain the requisite insurance coverage, the Master Servicer shall (to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard) require the Borrowers to obtain the requisite insurance coverage from Qualified Insurers;

(iii)           the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Borrowers to maintain the insurance required to be maintained under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that this clause shall not limit the Master Servicer’s obligation to obtain and maintain a force-placed insurance policy, as provided herein;

(iv)           except as provided below (including under clause (vi) below), in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to cause the Borrowers to maintain, or itself obtain, insurance coverage to the extent that the failure of the Borrowers to maintain insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as determined by the Special Servicer);

(v)            to the extent that the Master Servicer itself is required to maintain insurance that the Borrowers do not maintain, the Master Servicer will not be required to maintain insurance other than what is available to the Master Servicer on a force-placed basis at commercially reasonable rates, and only to the extent the Trustee as lender has an insurable interest thereon; and

(vi)           any explicit terrorism insurance requirements contained in the Loan Documents shall be enforced by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard, unless the Special Servicer has consented to a waiver (including a waiver to permit the Master Servicer to accept insurance that does not comply with specific requirements contained in the Loan Documents) in writing of that provision in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer in writing of such waiver.

The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee if the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the Borrowers have failed to maintain insurance required under the Loan Documents and such failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders or if the Borrowers have notified the Master Servicer in writing that the Borrowers do not intend to maintain such insurance and that the Master Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

Subject to Section 3.15(b) of this Agreement, if the Mortgaged Properties are an REO Property, the Special Servicer shall use efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to maintain (subject to the right of the Special Servicer to direct the Master Servicer to make a Property Advance for the costs associated with coverage that the Special Servicer determines to maintain, in which case the Master Servicer shall make such Property Advance) with Qualified Insurers to the extent reasonably available at commercially reasonable rates and to the extent the Trustee has an insurable interest, (a) a fire and casualty extended coverage insurance policy, which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser

-127-

of the full replacement value of the Mortgaged Properties or the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (or such greater amount of coverage required by the Loan Documents (unless such amount is not available)), but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause, (b) a comprehensive general liability insurance policy with coverage comparable to that which would be required under prudent lending requirements and in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, and (c) to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, a business interruption or rental loss insurance covering revenues or rents for a period of at least 18 months; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be required in any event to maintain or obtain insurance coverage described in this paragraph beyond what is reasonably available at a commercially reasonable rate and consistent with the Servicing Standard.

All such insurance policies maintained as described above shall contain (if they insure against loss to property) a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer (on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders), or shall name the Trustee as the insured, with loss payable to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (on behalf of Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders) (in the case of insurance maintained if the Mortgaged Properties are an REO Property). Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the Borrowers, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, in the case of amounts received in respect of the Whole Loan, or in the REO Account of the Special Servicer, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.15 of this Agreement, in the case of amounts received in respect of the REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance of the Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Loan Agreement may so permit; provided, however, that this sentence shall not limit the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund to enforce any obligations of the Borrowers under the Whole Loan. Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining insurance policies in respect of the Whole Loan or a Specially Serviced Loan (other than the REO Property) (i) if the Borrowers default on their obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance and will be charged to the Borrowers and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance of the Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Whole Loan may so permit. Any cost incurred by the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance policies with respect to the REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement) payable out of the REO Account or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or paid from the Collection Account if the Master Servicer determines such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, subject to Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement).

(b)            If either:

(x) the Master Servicer or Special Servicer obtains and maintains, or causes to be obtained and maintained, a blanket policy or master force-placed policy insuring against

-128-

hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties or REO Property, as applicable, then, to the extent such policy (i) is obtained from a Qualified Insurer, and (ii) provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, or

(y) the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts that are rated not lower than “A-” by Fitch and “A(low)” by DBRS Morningstar, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer self-insures for its obligation to maintain the individual policies otherwise required,

then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause hazard insurance to be maintained on the Mortgaged Properties or REO Property, as applicable.

Such a blanket or master force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause (not in excess of a customary amount), in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, that maintains such policy shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the Mortgaged Properties or REO Property thereunder a hazard insurance policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, and there shall have been one or more losses that would have been covered by such an individual policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account, from its own funds, the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket or master force-placed policy in connection with such loss or losses because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the Whole Loan (or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation for an individual policy which is consistent with the Servicing Standard). The Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders claims under any such blanket or master force-placed policy maintained by it in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, causes the Mortgaged Properties or REO Property to be covered by such “force-placed” insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to the Mortgaged Properties or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not the Mortgaged Properties or REO Property are covered thereby) shall be paid as a Property Advance.

(c)            If the Whole Loan is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, and the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer to such effect and the Master Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder. If the Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan and is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, such Special Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, is entitled thereunder. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy described above (whether by

-129-

the Master Servicer or Special Servicer) shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance.

(d)            The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) keep in force with a Qualified Insurer, a fidelity bond in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be. Such fidelity bond shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent if such insurance is guaranteed by its parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent if such insurance is guaranteed by its parent), as applicable, are rated not lower than “A-” by Fitch and at least its equivalent by DBRS Morningstar (if then rated by DBRS Morningstar), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may self-insure with respect to the fidelity bond coverage required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage.

The Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) also keep in force with a Qualified Insurer a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with their servicing obligations hereunder, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provisions if an Affiliate thereof has such insurance and, by the terms of such policy or policies, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be. Any such errors and omissions policy shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent if such insurance is guaranteed by its parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent), as applicable, are rated not lower than “A-” by Fitch and “A(low)” by DBRS Morningstar (if then rated by DBRS Morningstar), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may self-insure with respect to the errors and omissions coverage required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage.

(e)            The Operating Advisor shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement an “errors and omissions” insurance policy, 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 Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Defeasance Provisions. (a)  If the Whole Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause (including, without limitation, sales or transfers of the Mortgaged Properties (in full

-130-

or part) or the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in a Borrower or its owners), which by its terms:

(i)             provides that the Whole Loan will (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the Mortgaged Properties (including, without limitation, the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in a Borrower or its owners),

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

(iii)           provides that the Whole Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of the mortgagee, provided certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,

then, for so long as the Trust Loan is included in the Trust Fund, neither the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) (with the consent of the Special Servicer) nor the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan), as applicable, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall be required to enforce any such due-on-sale clauses and in connection therewith neither shall be required to (x) accelerate payments thereon or (y) withhold its consent to such an assumption if (1) such provision is not enforceable under applicable law or if the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan, and with the consent of the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan), as applicable, determines, that the enforcement of such provision is reasonably likely to result in meritorious legal action by a Borrower or (2) the Master Servicer (with the consent of the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that granting such consent would be likely to result in a greater recovery, on a present value basis (discounting at the related Calculation Rate), than would enforcement of such clause. If the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan and with the consent of the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan), as applicable, determines that (A) granting such consent would be likely to result in a greater recovery, (B) such provision is not legally enforceable, or (C) that the conditions described in clause (a)(iii) above relating to the assumption or transfer of the Whole Loan have been satisfied, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) (with the consent of the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan) is authorized to take or enter into an assumption agreement from or with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Properties have been or are about to be conveyed, and to release the original Borrowers from liability upon the Whole Loan and substitute the new borrower as obligor thereon; provided that (a) the credit status of the prospective new borrower is in compliance with the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s servicing standards and criteria and the terms of the Mortgage and consistent with the Servicing Standard and (b) the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan), as applicable, has received a No Downgrade Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (or has been deemed to satisfy such requirement). In addition, with respect to the Companion Loan, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall waive any rights under a due on sale

-131-

clause unless it first obtains a No Downgrade Confirmation with respect to the Companion Loan Securities to the extent required under the related Other Securitization Trust. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on the master servicer and/or the special servicer of the related Other Securitization Trust to determine whether a No Downgrade Confirmation is required with respect to any related Companion Loan under such Other Securitization Trust. In connection with each such assumption or substitution entered into by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall give prior notice thereof to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable) the original copy of such agreement, which copies shall be added to the Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of the Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. To the extent not otherwise precluded by the Loan Documents, neither the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) (with the consent of the Special Servicer) nor the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) shall approve an assumption or substitution without requiring the Borrowers to pay any fees owed to the Rating Agencies associated with the approval of such assumption or substitution. However, in the event that the Borrowers are required but fail to pay such fees, such fees shall be an expense of the Trust Fund; provided that, with respect to the Companion Loan, the Master Servicer (if the Whole Loan is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), shall, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to exercise on behalf of the Trust Fund the rights of the Trust Fund under the Co-Lender Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loan from the Companion Loan Holders.

(b)            If the Whole Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause, which by its terms:

(i)             provides that the Whole Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any lien or other encumbrance on the Mortgaged Properties or any direct or indirect ownership interest in any Borrower (including, unless specifically permitted, any additional mezzanine financing of any Borrower or any Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in any Borrower or its owners),

(ii)            requires the consent of the mortgagee to the creation of any such lien or other encumbrance on the Mortgaged Properties (including, without limitation, any additional mezzanine financing of any Borrower or any Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in any Borrower or its owners), or

(iii)           provides that the Mortgaged Properties may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee (including, without limitation, any additional mezzanine financing of any Borrower or any Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred

-132-

equity in any Borrower or its owners), provided that certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,

then, subject to the consent rights of the Directing Holder during a Subordinate Control Period, neither the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) (with the consent of the Special Servicer) nor the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan), on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall be required to enforce such due-on-encumbrance clauses and in connection therewith, will not be required to (i) accelerate the payments on the Whole Loan or (ii) withhold its consent to such lien or encumbrance, if the Master Servicer (with the consent of the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (x) determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such enforcement would not be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, or that in the case of the circumstances described in clause (b)(iii) above, that the conditions to further encumbrance have been satisfied and (y) receives a No Downgrade Confirmation from the Rating Agencies (or has been deemed to satisfy such requirement). In addition, with respect to the Companion Loan, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall waive any rights under a due on encumbrance clause unless it first obtains a No Downgrade Confirmation with respect to the related Companion Loan Securities to the extent required under each related Other Securitization Trust. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on the master servicer and/or the special servicer of the Other Securitization Trusts to determine whether a No Downgrade Confirmation is required with respect to the Companion Loan under the related Other Securitization Trust. To the extent not otherwise precluded by the Loan Documents, neither the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan and with the consent of the Special Servicer) nor the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan) shall approve such lien or encumbrance without requiring the Borrowers to pay any fees owed to the Rating Agencies associated with the approval of such lien or encumbrance. However, in the event that the Borrowers are required but fail to pay such fees, such fees shall be an expense of the Trust Fund; provided that the Master Servicer (if the Whole Loan is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), shall be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to exercise on behalf of the Trust Fund the rights of the Trust Fund under the Co-Lender Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loan from the Companion Loan Holders.

(c)            [Reserved].

(d)            The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall each provide copies of any waivers it effects pursuant to Section 3.09(a) or (b) of this Agreement to the other party and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) with respect to the Trust Loan.

(e)            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 the Trust Loan, any sale or other transfer of any Mortgaged Property or the creation of any lien or other encumbrance with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.

-133-

(f)             In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.09, the Special Servicer shall not 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 the Whole Loan or the Notes, other than pursuant to Section 3.26 hereof, as applicable.

(g)            When the Special Servicer’s consent is requested under this Section 3.09, such consent shall be deemed given 15 Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such proposed action together with such other information reasonably required by the Special Servicer.

(h)            If the Whole Loan permits release of one or more Mortgaged Properties through defeasance:

(i)             subject to the consent rights and process set forth in Section 6.09 with respect to Major Decisions, the Master Servicer shall process all defeasances of the Whole Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents, and shall be entitled to any defeasance fees paid relating thereto;

(ii)            if the Whole Loan requires that the lender purchase the required government securities, then the Master Servicer shall purchase, or shall cause the purchase of, such obligations on behalf of the Trust, at the Borrower’s expense, in accordance with the terms of the Whole Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not accept the amounts paid by the any Borrower to effect defeasance until acceptable government securities have been identified;

(iii)           to the extent not inconsistent with the Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall require each related Borrower to provide an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense of the Borrower) to the effect that the Trustee has a first priority perfected security interest in the defeasance collateral (including the government securities) and the assignment of the defeasance collateral is valid and enforceable;

(iv)           to the extent not inconsistent with the Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall require a certificate at the Borrower’s expense from an Independent certified public accountant certifying to the effect that the government securities will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on the Whole Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the related Loan Documents;

(v)            prior to permitting release of any Mortgaged Property through defeasance, the Master Servicer shall require an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions; provided that to the extent not inconsistent with the Whole Loan, the related Borrower shall pay the cost related to the Opinion of Counsel (and shall otherwise be a Property Advance);

-134-

(vi)           no defeasance shall occur on or prior to the second anniversary of the Startup Day of the Trust REMICs or if the Companion Loan is held by a REMIC, on or prior to the second anniversary of the startup day of such REMIC;

(vii)          the Master Servicer shall, at the expense of the related Borrower (to the extent not inconsistent with the related Loan Documents), cause the U.S. government securities to be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, and apply payments of principal and interest received on the government obligations in respect of the defeased Whole Loan in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents;

(viii)         the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, enforce provisions in the Whole Loan requiring the Borrowers to pay all reasonable expenses associated with a defeasance;

(ix)            to the extent not inconsistent with the Whole Loan, or to the extent the Loan Documents provide the lender with discretion, the Master Servicer shall require a single purpose entity, formed solely for the purpose of owning and pledging the government securities related to the Whole Loan, to act as a successor borrower;

(x)             each Rating Agency and, to the extent required by the Other Securitization Trust, each rating agency relating to any Companion Loan Securities must provide a No Downgrade Confirmation; and

(xi)            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 Whole Loan in advance of its Due Date in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount, and not as a prepayment of the Whole 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 365 days.

(i)             Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit a “Permitted Assumption” (as defined under the Loan Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement unless is has first obtained a No Downgrade Confirmation with respect to such assumption and relating to the Certificates.

Section 3.10     Appraisals; Realization upon Defaulted Mortgage Loan. (a) Contemporaneously with the earliest of (i) the effective date of any (A) modification of the Maturity Date or extended Maturity Date, the Whole Loan Rate, principal balance or amortization terms of the Whole Loan, (B) extension of the Maturity Date or extended Maturity Date of the Whole Loan as described below in Section 3.26 of this Agreement, or (C) consent to the release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage other than pursuant to the terms of the Whole Loan, (ii) the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event and (iii) a default in the payment of a Balloon Payment for which an extension is not granted, the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain an Updated

-135-

Appraisal (or a letter update for an existing appraisal which is less than two years old) within 60 days of such event, the cost of which shall constitute a Property Advance; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain an Updated Appraisal pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to the Mortgaged Properties for which there exists an Appraisal or Updated Appraisal which is less than nine months old unless the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of a material adverse change in circumstances that, consistent with the Servicing Standard, would call into question the validity of such Appraisal or Updated Appraisal. For so long as the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall obtain letter updates to an Updated Appraisal every nine months. The Master Servicer shall use all Updated Appraisals obtained by the Special Servicer to calculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount. Prior to the Special Servicer granting extensions beyond one year or any subsequent extension after granting a one year extension with respect to the Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount based on an Updated Appraisal. The Special Servicer shall obtain letter updates, every nine months, to an Updated Appraisal for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists with respect to the Whole Loan and the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on such Updated Appraisal. In addition, upon receipt of each Updated Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall re-compute the Appraisal Reduction Amount which shall be adjusted accordingly. If the Appraisal Reduction Amount is reduced as a result of any such adjustment then (a) each Class of Certificates that has been notionally reduced as a result of Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such adjustment, (b) the Special Servicer shall redetermine whether a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period is then in effect and which Class of Certificates is the then-Controlling Class, and (c) the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator of the amount of such adjustment. The aggregate Appraisal Reduction Amount allocable to the Trust Loan for any Distribution Date shall be applied by the Certificate Administrator to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the following Classes of Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class HRR Certificates; second, to the Class D Certificates; third, to the Class C Certificates; fourth, to the Class B Certificates; and finally, to the Class A Certificates (provided in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). The Special Servicer shall send all such letter updates and Updated Appraisals to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period), the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such materials to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement). During any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period, within 15 days after the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the Special Servicer shall notify the Directing Holder and the Operating Advisor of the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event. The Special Servicer shall send all such letter updates and Updated Appraisals to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such materials to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement).

The Special Servicer shall monitor the Whole Loan so long as it is a Specially Serviced Loan, evaluate whether the causes of the default can be corrected over a reasonable period without significant impairment of the value of the Mortgaged Properties, initiate corrective action (with notification to and the consent of the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control

-136-

Period and upon consultation with the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Consultation Period) in cooperation with the Borrowers if, in the Special Servicer’s judgment a cure is likely, and take such other actions (including without limitation, negotiating and accepting a discounted payoff of the Whole Loan) as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. If, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, such corrective action has been unsuccessful, no satisfactory arrangement can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and the Specially Serviced Loan has not been released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any provision hereof, and except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 3.09(a) and (b) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer may, to the extent consistent with the Asset Status Report and with the Servicing Standard, accelerate the Specially Serviced Loan and commence a foreclosure or other acquisition with respect to the Mortgaged Properties; provided that the Special Servicer determines that such acceleration and foreclosure are more likely to produce a greater recovery to Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) on a present value basis (discounting at the related Calculation Rate) than would a waiver of such default or an extension or modification in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.26 hereof. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Property Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if such Property Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance but the Special Servicer determines (with the Master Servicer permitted to conclusively rely upon any such determination) that such payment would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) the Special Servicer shall direct the Master Servicer to make such payment from the Collection Account, which payment shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any determination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a Property Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Master Servicer does not make such Property Advance in violation of the second preceding sentence, the Trustee shall make such Property Advance, unless the Trustee determines that such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of Property Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to this paragraph to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this Agreement.

The Special Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail (or via other means of electronic delivery reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) to the Master Servicer any information in the Special Servicer’s possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount or updated Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to the definition thereof, using reasonable best efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the Master Servicer’s written request therefor (which request shall be made promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Special Servicer’s receipt of the applicable Appraisal); provided, however, that the Master Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the Special Servicer of its obligation to provide such information to the Master Servicer in the manner and timing set forth in this sentence; provided, further, that it shall not be a Master Servicer Termination Event if the Master Servicer fails to satisfy its obligation to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate an Appraisal Reduction Amount within the time periods set forth in this Agreement to the extent such failure is due to or caused by the Special Servicer’s failure to deliver the information reasonably

-137-

required to make such determination, calculation, redetermination or recalculation within the time periods set forth in this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall not calculate Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

(b)            If the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure in accordance with the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Properties are located, the Special Servicer shall not be required to pursue a deficiency judgment against the Borrowers or any other liable party if (i) the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure or (ii) if the Special Servicer determines, in its best judgment, 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 and the Certificate Administrator.

(c)            Prior to any foreclosure or by transfer-in-lieu (or deed-in-lieu) of foreclosure, with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, the Special Servicer shall consider all information in its possession or provided by the Master Servicer from the Borrowers or of which the Special Servicer otherwise has actual knowledge with respect to any environmental matters with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, and based on such information shall determine in accordance with Servicing Standard if any independent site assessments of the Mortgaged Properties are advisable. The Special Servicer, in the case of any foreclosure with respect to the Mortgaged Properties will, prior to acquiring the Property consider the risks associated with the foreclosure and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review procedures and in any event in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any environmental assessment report to the 17g-5 Information Provider in electronic format and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall make such report available to the Rating Agencies and other NRSROs pursuant to Section 3.14(d).

If the Special Servicer has so determined based on satisfaction of the criteria in this Section 3.12(d) that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (as determined in accordance with Servicing Standard) to institute a foreclosure or take any other actions described in the immediately preceding paragraph, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Special Servicer shall take such proposed action subject to the rights of the Directing Holder to consent to and/or consult in respect of such action, as applicable. The Special Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise cause the Trust to acquire ownership of any Collateral (other than the Mortgaged Properties) on behalf of the Trust REMIC unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as an Administrative Advance unless the Master Servicer determines that such Administrative Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) to the effect that such acquisition will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Trust REMIC (other than a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Code Section 860G(c)) under the REMIC Provisions or cause the Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding.

The Special Servicer shall direct the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer shall, advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean up or remediation as an Administrative Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d)            In the event that title to the Mortgaged Properties is acquired in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to

-138-

its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer) or a separate Trustee or co-Trustee on behalf of the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation or partial cancellation of the Whole Loan, the Whole shall (except for purposes of Section 9.01 of this Agreement) be considered to be an REO Loan until such time as the REO Property shall be sold by the Trust Fund and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. Consistent with the foregoing, for purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as the Whole shall be considered to be an outstanding Whole, as applicable:

(i)             it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall have been discharged or partially discharged, the Notes and, for purposes of determining the Stated Principal Balance thereof, the related amortization schedule, if any, in effect at the time of any such acquisition of title shall remain in effect; and

(ii)            subject to Section 1.02(f) of this Agreement, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to amounts that would have been payable under the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Co-Lender Agreement. In the absence of such terms, Net REO Proceeds shall, subject to Section 1.02(f) of this Agreement, be deemed to have been received first, in payment of the accrued interest that remained unpaid on the date that the REO Property was acquired by the Trust Fund; second, in respect of the delinquent principal installments that remained unpaid on such date; and thereafter, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to the payment of installments of principal, if any, and accrued interest on the Whole Loan deemed to be due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Notes and such amortization schedule, if any, until such principal has been paid in full and then to other amounts due under the Whole Loan. If such Net REO Proceeds exceed the Monthly Payment then payable, the excess shall be treated as a Principal Prepayment received in respect of the Whole Loan.

(e)            Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.10 unless either:

(i)             such personal property is incident to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(l) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders; or

(ii)            the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Lower-Tier REMIC) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Lower-Tier REMIC will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(f)             Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest or other equity interest in the Borrowers pledged pursuant to any pledge agreement unless the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement) to the effect that the holding of such partnership interest

-139-

or other equity interest by the Trust Fund will not cause Adverse REMIC Event at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(g)            Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not cause the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to obtain title to the Mortgaged Properties as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, to obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest in the Borrowers pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of the Mortgaged Properties, to have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, and shall not otherwise cause the Trustee to acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, the Mortgaged Properties if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of the Mortgaged Properties 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 determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits (which report shall be an expense of the Trust), that:

(i)             each 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 the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, and

(ii)            there are no circumstances present at any 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 Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholder and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

In the event that the environmental assessment first obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to any 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 the Companion Loan Holders. Any such tests shall be deemed part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Special Servicer for purposes of this Section 3.10.

(h)            The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(g) of this Agreement shall be prepared within three months (or as soon thereafter as practicable) of the determination that such assessment is required by any Independent Person who regularly conducts

-140-

environmental audits for purchasers of commercial property where the Mortgaged Properties are located, as determined by the Special Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. Upon the written direction of the Special Servicer and delivery by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer of pertinent back-up information the Master Servicer shall advance the cost of preparation of such environmental assessments as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Property Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent permitted by Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall provide written reports and a copy of any environmental assessments in electronic format to the Master Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such materials to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), monthly regarding any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgaged Properties securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan as to which the environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.10(g) of this Agreement has revealed that either of the conditions set forth in clause (i) and (ii) of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied, in each case until the earlier to occur of (i) satisfaction of both such conditions, (ii) repurchase of the Trust Loan by the Trust Loan Sellers or (iii) release of the lien of the Mortgage on the Mortgaged Properties.

(i)             If the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(g)(i) that any Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws but that it is in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender, 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(g)(ii) that the circumstances referred to therein relating to Hazardous Materials are present but that it is in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender, 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, the Special Servicer shall take such action (subject to the rights of the Directing Holder to consent to and/or consult in respect of such action and/or the Operating Advisor to consult in respect of such action) as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender, but only if the Certificate Administrator has mailed notice to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders of such proposed action, which notice shall be prepared by the Special Servicer, and only if the Certificate Administrator does not receive, within 30 days of such notification, instructions from the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights and the Companion Loan Holders directing the Special Servicer not to take such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer reasonably determines that it is likely that within such 30-day period irreparable environmental harm to any Mortgaged Property would result from the presence of such Hazardous Materials and provides a prior written statement to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the basis for such determination, then the Special Servicer may take or cause to be taken such action to remedy such condition as may be consistent with the Servicing Standard. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be obligated to take any action or not take any action pursuant to this Section 3.10(i) at the direction of the Certificateholders and

-141-

the Companion Loan Holders unless the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders agree to indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to such action or inaction. The Master Servicer shall advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(j)             The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer if the Mortgaged Properties are abandoned or foreclosed and requires 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 the Whole Loan if it is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the IRS and the Borrowers, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via Form 1099C or 1099A, all forgiveness of indebtedness, abandonment or foreclosure to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

(k)            The costs of any Updated Appraisal obtained pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance and shall be reimbursable from the Collection Account.

Section 3.11     Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage File. Upon the payment in full of the Whole Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Custodian by 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. Any expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance that is not paid by the Borrowers shall be chargeable to the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer agrees to use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to enforce any provisions in the Loan Documents that require the Borrowers to pay such amounts. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be an expense of the Trustee or the Custodian or chargeable to the Collection Account.

From time to time upon request of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release, the Custodian shall promptly release the Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) designated in such Request for Release to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon return of the foregoing to the Custodian, or in the event of a liquidation or conversion of the Whole Loan into an REO Loan, or receipt by the Custodian of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that the Mortgaged Properties were 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 the Whole Loan has become an REO Loan, the Custodian shall deliver a copy of the Request for Release to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

-142-

Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) any court pleadings, requests for a trustee’s sale or other documents prepared by the Special Servicer, its agents or attorneys, necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of the Mortgaged Properties or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Borrowers on the Notes or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Notes or Mortgage 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, that the proposed action is consistent with the Servicing Standard 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.

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 to the Servicing Fee. The Master Servicer’s rights to the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement or as provided in the following paragraph with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as additional Servicing Compensation, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement, (i) all investment income earned on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and certain Reserve Accounts (to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents), (ii) any Net Default Interest and any other Penalty Charges collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer during a Collection Period accrued on the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan, in each case, remaining after application thereof during such Collection Period to pay the Advance Interest Amount relating to such Performing Loan and to pay or reimburse the Trust for any unreimbursed Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) relating to such Performing Loan incurred during or prior to such Collection Period, and as further described in Section 3.12(d), (iii) any amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is Performing Loan or a Specially Serviced Loan), demand fees (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) or similar items (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) (but not including Prepayment Charges) and (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Loan Documents, 100% of any Modification Fees, loan service transaction fees and consent fees with respect to (and other similar fees relating to) the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan where the consent of the Special Servicer is not required (50% of such fees where the consent of the Special Servicer is required), 100% of any defeasance fees, 100% of Assumption Fees and consent fees (or similar fees) relating to the transactions referred to in Section 3.09(b) of this Agreement with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan where the consent of the Special Servicer is not required (50% of such fees where the consent of the Special Servicer is required), 100% of beneficiary statement charges, demand fees or similar items (but not including Prepayment Charges) with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan and 100% of assumption application fees with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan, 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. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any fee split between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of Section 3.12(a)

-143-

or (b) hereof, 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 percentage interest in any such fee; provided, however, that (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 Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to, and to the extent provided in, Section 3.06(a)(viii) or 3.07(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, to withdraw from the Collection Account and to receive from any Borrower Accounts (to the extent not payable to the Borrowers under the Whole Loan or applicable law), Prepayment Interest Excess (if any and to the extent any such Prepayment Interest Excess exceeds the amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls), and Net Default Interest and any interest or other income earned on deposits therein.

KeyBank National Association and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights that relate to the Whole Loan (and a successor REO Loan) 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 Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the 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 P-1 hereto, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit P-2 hereto. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the 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. KeyBank 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 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 Operating Advisor, the Trust, the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, 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 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 Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate

-144-

pursuant to the 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 Whole Loan or successor REO Loan with respect thereto to which the Excess Servicing Fee Right relates, shall pay, out of each amount paid to the Master Servicer as Servicing Fee with respect to the Whole Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fees 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 Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, 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.

As compensation for its activities hereunder on each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled with respect to the Trust Loan to its portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account. The Certificate Administrator shall pay the Trustee the Trustee’s portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee and the routine fees of the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Authenticating Agent. The Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’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 its respective responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

If the Master Servicer resigns or is terminated as the Master Servicer, then it will be entitled to retain the related excess servicing strip, except to the extent that any portion of such excess servicing strip is needed to compensate any replacement Master Servicer for assuming the duties of the Master Servicer, as the Master Servicer under this Agreement. The initial Master Servicer will be entitled to transfer any such excess servicing strip and/or primary servicing fees that may be retained by it in connection with its resignation or termination.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay all of its overhead expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder, including all fees of any Sub-Servicers retained by it. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall each pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder.

(b)            As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan to the Special Servicing Compensation, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as set forth in Section 3.06 of this Agreement. 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 Special Servicing Compensation, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Loan Documents, (i) any late payment charges and any Net Default Interest and any other default charges and Penalty Charges collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer during a Collection Period accrued on a Specially Serviced Loan remaining after application thereof during such Collection Period (subject to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement) to pay the Advance Interest Amount relating to such Specially Serviced Loan and any

-145-

unreimbursed Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred during or prior to such Collection Period on a Specially Serviced Loan (but not NSF check fees and the like, which shall be paid to the Master Servicer) as further described below in subsection (c), (ii) 50% of any Assumption Fees, consent fees (or similar fees) relating to the transactions referred to in Section 3.09(b) of this Agreement, Modification Fees (and other similar fees) with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan, when the approval from the Special Servicer is required (and excluding any Prepayment Charges), (iii) any interest or other income earned on deposits in the REO Accounts and (iv) 100% of any Assumption Fees, assumption application fees, consent fees (or similar fees) relating to the transactions referred to in Section 3.09(b) of this Agreement, Modification Fees (and other similar fees), loan service transaction fees, beneficiary statement charges, demand fees or similar items relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any fee split between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of Section 3.12(a) or (b) hereof, 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 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.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Special 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.

(c)            In addition, a Workout Fee will be payable to the Special Servicer with respect to the Whole Loan if it ceases to be a Specially Serviced Loan pursuant to the definition thereof. The Workout Fee will be payable out of each collection of interest and principal (including scheduled payments, prepayments, Balloon Payments and payments at maturity) received on the Whole Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee will cease to be payable if the Whole Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan or if the Mortgaged Properties become an REO Property; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when the Whole Loan again becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns with respect to any or all of its servicing duties, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable with respect to a Corrected Mortgage Loan during the period that it had responsibility for servicing such Corrected Mortgage Loan (or the Specially Serviced Loan had not yet become a Corrected Mortgage Loan because as of the time that the Special Servicer is terminated, the Borrowers have not made three (3) consecutive monthly debt service payments and subsequently, the Specially Serviced Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan) at the time of such termination or resignation (and the successor Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees), in each case until the Workout Fee for any such loan ceases to be payable in accordance with the preceding sentence.

-146-

A Liquidation Fee will be payable to the Special Servicer with respect to (i) the Trust Loan if repurchased by the Trust Loan Sellers after the applicable time period (including any applicable extension thereof) in Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement, (ii) a Specially Serviced Loan as to which the Special Servicer obtains a full, partial or discounted payoff from the Borrowers and (iii) except as otherwise described below, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property as to which the Special Servicer recovered any Liquidation Proceeds. As to the Trust Loan repurchased by the Trust Loan Sellers after the applicable time period (including any applicable extension thereof) in Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement or a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property, the Liquidation Fee will be payable from the related payment or proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described above, no Liquidation Fee will be payable based on, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds to the extent set forth in the definition of “Liquidation Fee” herein. With respect to any future mezzanine debt, to the extent not prohibited by the Loan Documents, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall require that the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement provide that in the event of a purchase of the Whole Loan by the related mezzanine lender after 90 days following the first time that such holder’s option to purchase the Whole Loan becomes exercisable (provided, however, that even if the purchase occurs before such expiration the Liquidation Fee will be payable to the extent paid by, and collected from, the related borrower or the mezzanine lender), such mezzanine lender shall be required to pay a Liquidation Fee equal to the amount that the Special Servicer would otherwise be entitled to under this Agreement with respect to a liquidation of the Whole Loan (provided, however, that such Liquidation Fee shall in all circumstances be payable by the related mezzanine lender and shall not, under any circumstances, be payable out of the Trust unless the Master Servicer fails to require the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement to require the mezzanine lender to pay such amounts in breach of its obligation to do so under this paragraph). If, however, Liquidation Proceeds are received with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan as to which 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 that constitute principal and/or interest. 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 Liquidation Proceeds received on the Whole Loan or a Specially Serviced Loan. In the event that (i) the Special Servicer resigns or has been terminated, and (ii) prior or subsequent to such resignation or termination, either (A) a Specially Serviced Loan was liquidated or modified pursuant to an action plan submitted by the initial Special Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined to grant a forbearance, or (B) a Specially Serviced Loan being monitored by the Special Servicer subsequently became a Corrected Mortgage Loan, then in either such event the Special Servicer (and not the successor special servicer) shall be paid the related Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee, as applicable.

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 the REO Property, due and owing to any of its sub servicers, any amounts due and owing to any of its Affiliates, and the premiums for any blanket insurance policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Agreement, except to the extent such premiums are reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Agreement), if and to the extent such expenses are not expressly payable directly out of the Collection Account or the REO Account or as a Property Advance, and the

-147-

Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Borrower, any Borrower Related Party, any Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of the Whole Loan and any purchaser of the Whole Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of the Whole Loan, the management or disposition of the 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; provided, further, that any compensation or other remuneration that the Master Servicer is permitted to receive or retain pursuant to this Agreement in connection with its duties in such capacity as the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator in connection with its duties in such capacity as the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement will not be Disclosable Special Servicer Fees.

(f)             The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be permitted (but shall not be required) to orally communicate with the Rating Agencies regarding the Trust Loan, the Whole Loan, any Class of Certificates, the Companion Loan Holders, the Mortgaged Properties or any REO Property; provided that such party summarizes the information provided to the Rating Agencies in such

-161-

Section 3.15     Title and Management of REO Property and REO Accounts. (a) In the event that title to the Mortgaged Properties is acquired for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders 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

-162-

name of the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall not include the Master Servicer), or a separate Trustee or co-Trustee, in each case on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, shall dispose of any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust Fund acquires ownership of the REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless (i) the Special Servicer on behalf of the Lower-Tier REMIC has applied for an extension of such period pursuant to Sections 856(e)(3) and 860G(a)(8)(A) of the Code, in which case the Special Servicer shall sell the REO Property within the applicable extension period or if the Special Servicer has applied for extension as provided in this clause (i) but such request has not yet been granted or denied, the additional time specified in such request, or (ii) the Special Servicer seeks and subsequently receives an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement), addressed to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of the REO Property for an additional specified period will not cause the REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) at any time that any Certificate is outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional specified period subject to any conditions set forth in such Opinion of Counsel. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, shall dispose of any REO Property held by the Trust Fund prior to the last day of such period (taking into account extensions) by which the REO Property is required to be disposed of pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence in a manner provided under Section 3.16 hereof. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property for the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause the REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) and such that income from the operation or sale of such property does not result in receipt by the Trust Fund of any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code with respect to such property.

(b)            The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the Servicing Standard and the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which the Special Servicer manages and operates similar property owned or managed by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, in connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards. Consistent with the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall cause or permit to be earned with respect to the REO Property any “net income from foreclosure property”, within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code, which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions, only if it has determined, and has so advised the Trustee and 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 the Companion Loan Holders than an alternative method of operation or rental of the REO Property that would not be subject to such a tax.

-163-

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 either (A) an Eligible Account and shall be entitled “Situs Holdings, LLC, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of CAMB 2021-CX2 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders, REO Account” or (B) entitled in the name of the limited liability company formed to hold title to the REO Property for the benefit of the Trustee. Title of any REO Property may be taken in the name of a limited liability company wholly owned by the Lower-Tier Trust REMIC that is managed by the Special Servicer (the costs of which shall be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided that such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance); provided, further, that such limited liability company (a) shall not elect to be classified as anything other than an entity that is disregarded as separate from the Lower-Tier Trust REMIC for federal income tax purposes and (b) shall only hold assets permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by a REMIC. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited REO Proceeds in the REO Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the REO Proceeds, and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property and for other Property Protection Expenses with respect to the REO Property, including:

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

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

(iii)           all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property; and

(iv)           any taxes imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of net income from foreclosure property in accordance with Section 4.05.

To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Master Servicer shall make such Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Property Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (provided that with respect to advancing insurance premiums or delinquent tax assessments the Master Servicer shall comply with the provisions of the second to last paragraph in Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement) and if the Master Servicer does not make any such Advance, the Trustee, to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Master Servicer’s failure to make such Advance, shall make such Advance, unless in each case, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee, when making an independent determination whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall make such determination in accordance with Section 3.21(d) based on its reasonable judgment. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of such Advances (with interest at the

-164-

Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence, to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account on a monthly basis prior to or on the related Due Date the Net REO Proceeds received or collected from each REO Property, except that in determining the amount of 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 any New Lease to be entered into, renewed or extended, 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 Trust Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv) Directly Operate or allow any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund, unless such Person is an Independent Contractor;

unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement) to the effect that such action will not cause the REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) 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 allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement 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 the REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code) (which

-165-

opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement); 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 the 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 30 days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

(iii)           none of the provisions of this Section 3.15(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, the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, with respect to the operation and management of any the 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 the REO Property.

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

(c)            Promptly following any acquisition by the Special Servicer of an REO Property on behalf of the Trust Fund, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer thereof, and, the Special Servicer shall obtain an Updated Appraisal thereof, but only in the event that any Updated Appraisal with respect thereto is more than 9 months old and the Special Servicer has no actual knowledge of any material adverse change in circumstances that, consistent with the Servicing Standard, would call into question the validity of such Updated Appraisal, in order to determine the fair market value of the REO Property and shall notify the Depositor and the Master Servicer and the Companion Loan Holders of the results of such Appraisal. Any such Appraisal shall be conducted in accordance with Appraisal Institute standards and the cost thereof shall be advanced as a Property Advance. The Special Servicer shall obtain a new Updated Appraisal or a letter update every 9 months thereafter until the REO Property is sold.

(d)            When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Certificate Administrator 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) of this Agreement.

-166-

Section 3.16     Sale of a Specially Serviced Loan or the REO Property. (a)  The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, the Whole Loan only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.16 or as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Section 2.03(e) and Section 9.01 of this Agreement or in the Co-Lender Agreement.

(b)            If the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) to attempt to sell the Whole Loan if it is a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to solicit offers for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price if it sells such Defaulted Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are received, the highest cash offer received in the solicitation process within the time frame set for such process by the Special Servicer) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period or any consultation rights of the Operating Advisor during the Operating Advisor Consultation Period.

The Special Servicer shall give the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period) and the Companion Loan Holders, not less than ten (10) Business Days’ (or five (5) Business Days’ notice in the case of the Directing Holder) prior written notice of its intention to sell a Defaulted Mortgage Loan (and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly forward such notice to the Certificateholders). 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 Defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement. The notice provided to the Companion Loan Holders pursuant to the second previous sentence shall include notice of the Companion Loan Holders’ opportunity to bid on the Defaulted Mortgage Loan.

(c)                Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for a 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 narrative appraisal prepared by an Independent MAI appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer is not making an offer with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, (ii) by the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer is making such an offer unless the Master Servicer and Special Servicer are Affiliates or (iii) the Trustee if the Master Servicer and Special Servicer are Affiliates and the Special Servicer is making an offer. The cost of any such Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Property Advance. No offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) if the offer is equal to or greater than the applicable Repurchase Price, the offer is the highest offer received, or (ii) if the offer is less than the applicable Repurchase Price, (a) the offer is the highest offer received and (b) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties.

addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to retain, at the expense of the related Interested Person, an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the Whole Loan that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine such fair price and will be permitted to conclusively rely on the opinion of such third party’s determination. Any costs and fees of the Trustee in connection with an offer by an Interested Person and the Trustee’s duties therewith shall be paid in advance of such determination by such Interested Person; provided that the Trustee shall not engage an independent third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount, as determined by the Trustee.

In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), and in determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, any appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of the Delinquency on such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Properties, the state of the local economy in the area where the Mortgaged Properties are located, the expected recovery from such Defaulted Mortgage Loan if the Special Servicer were to pursue a workout strategy, and the time and expense associated with a purchaser’s foreclosing on the Mortgaged Properties. The Repurchase Price for a Defaulted Mortgage Loan shall in all cases be deemed a fair price.

In addition, the Special Servicer shall refer to all other relevant information obtained by it or otherwise contained in the Mortgage File; provided that the Special Servicer shall take account of any change in circumstances regarding the Mortgaged Properties known to the Special Servicer that has occurred subsequent to, and that would, in the Special Servicer’s reasonable judgment, materially affect the value of any Mortgaged Property reflected in the most recent related Appraisal. Furthermore, the Special Servicer may consider available objective third party information obtained from generally available sources, as well as information obtained from vendors providing real estate services to the Special Servicer, concerning the market for distressed real estate loans and the real estate market for the subject property type in the area where the Mortgaged Properties are located. The Special Servicer may, to the extent it is reasonable to do so in accordance with the Servicing Standard, conclusively rely on any opinions or reports of qualified Independent experts in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject Specially Serviced Loan, selected with reasonable care by the Special Servicer, in making such determination. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall constitute, and be reimbursable as, Property Advances. The other parties to this Agreement shall cooperate with all reasonable requests for information made by the Special Servicer in order to allow the Special Servicer to perform its duties pursuant to this Section 3.16(c).

(d)            Subject to subsection (c) above, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders) in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, and the applicable collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge for its own account

-168-

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 REO Account or the Collection Account. Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any prorations 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 Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holders with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(e)            Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be for cash only.

(f)             [Reserved].

(g)            The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, an REO Property only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.16.

(h)            The Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to solicit offers for an REO Property on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price within the time period provided for by Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for the 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 within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall dispose of the 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 of from whom received.

The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, not less than ten Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell an REO Property, and 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 to this Agreement.

(i)             Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for an REO Property, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person; provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless it is the highest offer received. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for an REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent appraisal or Updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or in the absence of any such appraisal, on a narrative appraisal prepared by an Independent MAI Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer is not making an offer with respect to the REO Property (or by the Trustee if the Special Servicer is making such an offer). The cost of any such

-169-

Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal and any related costs and fees of the Trustee shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Property Advance. The Trustee shall be permitted to retain, at the expense of the related Interested Person, an independent third party to determine such fair price and shall be permitted to conclusively rely on the opinion of such third party’s determination. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for an REO Property, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any appraisal, updated appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for the REO Property, any appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Properties or REO Property, the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of the REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement. The Repurchase Price for an REO Property shall in all cases be deemed a fair price.

(j)             Subject to subsections (h) and (i) above, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders) in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of an REO Property, and the applicable collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge for its own account prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account. Any sale of an REO Property shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any prorations 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 Operating Advisor, the Depositor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(k)            Any sale of an REO Property shall be for cash only.

(l)             Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.16, the Special Servicer shall not be required to accept the highest cash offer if the Special Servicer determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders 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 the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders 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).

(m)           The Special Servicer shall have the obligation to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (including the Companion Loan) pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement as if the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan were one whole loan on behalf of the

-170-

Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders. The Special Servicer shall provide notice to the applicable Other Special Servicer (if any) and, to the extent it has received prior written notice, the controlling class representative of the related Other Securitization Trust as soon as practicable following its decision to attempt to sell, and prior to the commencement of marketing of, the Companion Loan.

Section 3.17        Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer; Inspections. (a)  The Master Servicer (at its own expense) (or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, the Special Servicer) shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Mortgaged Properties at such times and in such manner as is consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any event shall inspect the Mortgaged Properties at least once every 12 months commencing in 2023 (or at such decreased frequency as each Rating Agency shall have provided a No Downgrade Confirmation relating to the Certificates and Companion Loan Securities); provided that if the Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Mortgaged Properties as soon as practicable after the Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan and annually thereafter for so long as the Whole Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan; provided, further, that the Master Servicer will not be required to inspect any Mortgaged Property that has been inspected in the previous 12 months. The cost of each such inspection performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard by the Special Servicer shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance; provided, however, that if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, then the cost of such inspections shall be an expense of the Trust payable from the Collection Account, which expense shall first be reimbursed to the Trust as an Additional Trust Fund Expense; provided, further, that in the case of any deficiency of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer shall, after receiving payment or making payments from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to exercise on behalf of the Trust the rights of the Trust under the Co-Lender Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loan from the Companion Loan Holders. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare a written report of the inspection describing, among other things, the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Properties and specifying the existence of any material vacancies in the Mortgaged Properties, any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Properties of which it has actual knowledge, any material adverse change in the condition of any Mortgaged Property, or any visible material waste committed on the Mortgaged Properties. Upon request of any Rating Agency, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall send such reports to the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such reports to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) and, upon request, to the Initial Purchasers within 20 days of completion, each inspection report.

(b)            The Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan), as applicable, shall exercise the Trustee’s rights, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with respect to any Manager under the related Loan Documents and Management Agreements, if any.

(c)            If the Master Servicer has accepted a voluntary Principal Prepayment with respect to the Whole Loan (other than a Specially Serviced Loan or a previously Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which the Special Servicer has waived or amended the prepayment

-171-

restrictions) (except (A) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (B) in connection with the payment of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, (C) subsequent to a default under the Loan Documents (provided that the Master Servicer reasonably believes that acceptance of such prepayment is consistent with the Servicing Standard), (D) pursuant to applicable law or a court order, or (E) at the request of or with the consent of the Special Servicer), resulting in a Prepayment Interest Shortfall), then the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator on each Servicer Remittance Date for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account (or with respect to the Companion Loan, remit to the holder of the Companion Loan a pro rata portion of the following amount), without any right of reimbursement therefor, a cash payment (a “Master Servicer Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount”), in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with such voluntary Principal Prepayments received in respect of the Whole Loan (if it is a Performing Loan) during the related Collection Period, and (y) the sum of (A) the aggregate of that portion of its Servicing Fees that is the master servicing fee and that is being paid in such Collection Period (calculated for this purpose at a rate equal to 0.75 basis points (0.0075%) per annum) with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan and (B) any Prepayment Interest Excess received with respect to the related Collection Period. The Master Servicer’s obligations to pay any Master Servicer Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, and the rights of the Certificateholders to offset of the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls against those amounts, shall not be cumulative.

(d)            The Master Servicer shall, if the Whole Loan is secured by the interest of any Borrower under a ground lease, promptly (and in any event within 60 days) after the Closing Date deliver notice to the related ground lessor of the transfer of the Whole Loan to the Trust 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; provided that the Trust Loan Sellers shall cooperate with the Master Servicer with respect to such notices, including, without limitation, providing the form of notice to be delivered to such ground lessors.

(e)            The Master Servicer shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard and permitted by the Loan Documents, not apply any funds with respect to the Whole Loan (whether arising in the form of a holdback, earnout reserve, cash trap or other similar feature) to the prepayment of the Whole Loan prior to an event of default or reasonably foreseeable event of default with respect to the Whole Loan. Prior to an event of default or reasonably foreseeable event of default any such amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be held by the Master Servicer as additional collateral for the Whole Loan.

Section 3.18     Authenticating Agent. The Certificate Administrator may appoint an Authenticating Agent to execute and to authenticate Certificates. The Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Depositor and must be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state, having a principal office and place of business in a state and city acceptable to the Depositor, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Certificate Administrator shall serve as the initial Authenticating Agent.

Any corporation into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion

-172-

or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent shall be party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of the Authenticating Agent, shall be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.

The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. The Certificate Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of the Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to the Authenticating Agent, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. 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 3.18, the Certificate Administrator may 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 3.18.

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, as applicable.

Section 3.19     Appointment of Custodians. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby appointed as the initial Custodian. The Certificate Administrator may, at its own expense and with the consent of the Master Servicer, appoint one or more additional Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files on behalf of the Trustee and otherwise perform the duties set forth in Article II, by entering into a Custodial Agreement with any Custodian who is not the Depositor; provided that if the additional Custodian is an Affiliate of the Certificate Administrator such consent of the Master Servicer need not be obtained and the Certificate Administrator shall instead notify the Master Servicer of such appointment. The Certificate Administrator agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any act or omission of the Custodian under the Custodial Agreement, nor will the Certificate Administrator have any obligation to oversee the activities of a non-Affiliate Custodian. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a combined capital and surplus (or shall have its performance guaranteed by an Affiliate with a combined capital and surplus) of at least $10,000,000, shall have a long-term debt rating of at least “BBB” from Fitch and “A(low)” by DBRS Morningstar. Each 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 the Mortgage File directly by the Certificate Administrator. The appointment of one or more Custodians shall not relieve the Certificate Administrator from any of its duties, liabilities or obligations hereunder. If the Custodian is an entity other than the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian shall maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that are customary for securitizations similar to the securitization evidenced by

-173-

this Agreement. The Custodian shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its 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. All fidelity bonds and policies of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section 3.19 shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator shall bear no responsibility for any acts or omissions on the part of the Custodian.

Section 3.20     Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and Reserve Accounts. The Master Servicer shall administer each Lock-Box Account, Cash Collateral Account, Escrow Account and Reserve Account in accordance with the Mortgage or Loan Agreement, Cash Collateral Account Agreement or Lock-Box Agreement, if any relating to the Whole Loan it is servicing.

Section 3.21     Property Advances. (a)  The Master Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.21(c) of this Agreement, the Trustee) to the extent specifically provided for in this Agreement, shall make any Property Advances as and to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to the Whole Loan. For purposes of distributions to Certificateholders and compensation to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, Property Advances shall not be considered to increase the Stated Principal Balance of the Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Whole Loan so provide.

(b)            Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer not less than five Business Days’ written notice with respect to any Property Advance to be made on a Specially Serviced Loan, before the date on which the Master Servicer is required to make such Property Advance with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall be required to provide the Master Servicer with only two Business Days’ written notice in respect of Property Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis (which may include, without limitation, Property Advances required to make tax or insurance payments). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a Property Advance with respect to the Whole Loan, then it shall provide written notice to the related Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee of the amount of such Property Advance with respect to the Whole Loan within two (2) Business Days of making such Property Advance.

(c)            The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in writing promptly upon, and in any event within one 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 is to 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 Business Days following such notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement,

-174-

shall pay the amount of such Property Advance in accordance with such information and instructions.

(d)            The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Property Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property as such party required to make Property Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making nonrecoverability determinations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Advance is, or would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance, and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, then all such decisions shall remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Property Advance shall be required hereunder if the Person otherwise required to make such Property Advance determines that such Property Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Advance. In addition, the Master Servicer shall not make any Property Advance to the extent that it determines or has received written notice that the Special Servicer has determined that such Property Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Advance. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to (i) give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to the Whole Loan, the recovery of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in light of the fact that proceeds on the Whole Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Property Advance, Administrative Advance or P&I Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance which is being or may be deferred or delayed and (ii) consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrowers under the terms of the Whole Loan as it may have been modified, (iii) consider (among other things) the Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current condition and occupancy, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, (iv) estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) (among other things) future expenses and (v) estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries.

If an Appraisal of any Mortgaged Property shall not have been obtained within the prior 9 month period (and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each request any such appraisal from the Special Servicer prior to ordering an Appraisal pursuant to this sentence) or if such an Appraisal shall have been obtained but as a result of unforeseen occurrences, such Appraisal does not, in the good faith determination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reflect current market conditions, and the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and the Special Servicer cannot agree on the appropriate downward adjustment to such Appraisal, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, may, subject to its reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the Trust Fund (and such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provision of the Co-Lender Agreement).

-175-

Any determination by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee that the Master Servicer or Trustee, as the case may be, has made a Property Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Property Advance or any determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee that any proposed Property Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Advance shall be evidenced, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the other, to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Companion Loan Holders and the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period), and, in the case of the Trustee, by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, delivered to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Companion Loan Holders and the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period), which in each case sets forth such recoverability determination and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (such certificate to be accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination, together with any existing Appraisal or any Updated Appraisal); provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Property Advance previously made or proposed to be made is nonrecoverable and shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period), the Operating Advisor, the Companion Loan Holders and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), notice of such determination together with a certificate of a Servicing Officer and supporting information described above, if applicable. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Advance is, or would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance, and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, then all such decisions shall remain with the Master Servicer.

Any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) may obtain, at the expense of the Trust (and such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement), any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes. Absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any Property Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders.

Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination by the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be bound by any determination of the Special Servicer that a Property Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Property Advance. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a Property Advance previously made is, or a proposed Property Advance, if made, would be, a

-176-

Nonrecoverable Property Advance shall be subject to the standards applicable to the Master Servicer hereunder.

With respect to the payment of insurance premiums and delinquent tax assessments, in the event that the Master Servicer determines that a Property Advance of such amounts would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall deliver notice of such determination to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer. Upon receipt of such notice, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property) shall determine (with the reasonable assistance of the Master Servicer) whether the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve any Mortgaged Property and (ii) would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender. If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve any Mortgaged Property and (ii) would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender, the Master Servicer shall make such payment from the Collection Account to the extent of Available Funds or, in the case of a determination by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall direct the Master Servicer in writing to make such payment and, in either case, the Master Servicer shall make such payment, to the extent of Available Funds, from amounts in the Collection Account.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.21, the Master Servicer may elect (but shall not be required) to make a payment out of the Collection Account to pay for certain expenses specified in this sentence notwithstanding that the Master Servicer has determined that a Property Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Property Advance (unless, with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the Mortgaged Properties 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 Whole Loan; provided that in each instance, the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) that making such expenditure is in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, all as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender. The Master Servicer may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Property Advances from the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 3.06 of this Agreement.

(e)            The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of Property Advances made by it to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, if applicable, of this Agreement, together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such Property Advances, and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee each hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such Property Advances from the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Loan Documents.

-177-

(f)             If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that a proposed Property Advance, if made, or any outstanding Property Advance with respect to any such Whole Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance or if the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an outstanding Property Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and the Other Trustee under each related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement with written notice of such determination, together with supporting evidence for such determination, promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days after such determination or such longer time period permitted by the Co-Lender Agreement.

The Special Servicer shall not take any action inconsistent with the Asset Status Report, unless such action would be required in order to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, this Agreement, applicable law or the Loan Documents.

During any Subordinate Control Period, if the Directing Holder objects to an Asset Status Report within the above-referenced ten (10) Business Day period, then the Special Servicer (absent a determination set forth in clause (iii) of the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph) shall revise such Asset Status Report as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the objection to the Asset Status Report by the Directing Holder.

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

-184-

extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are Holders of the Controlling Class) as a collective whole. The Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and, during any Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder) 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 received in response from the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder, to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or Directing Holder’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole.

The Special Servicer may not take any action inconsistent with an Asset Status Report that has been adopted as provided above, unless such action would be required in order to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard. During any Subordinate Control Period or any Subordinate Consultation Period, if the Special Servicer takes any action inconsistent with an Asset Status Report that has been adopted as provided above, the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Directing Holder of such inconsistent action and provide a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons therefor.

(g)            The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may (subject to the Servicing Standard), as a condition to granting any request by the Borrowers for consent, modification, 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 Whole Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, require that the Borrowers pay to it (i) as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable and customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request (provided that the charging of such fee would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)), and (ii) any related costs and expenses incurred by it. In no

-188-

event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be entitled to payment for such fees or expenses unless such payment is collected from the Borrowers.

(h)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of the Whole Loan (or any portion thereof), if any, unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 3.09(h) of this Agreement.

(k)            The Special Servicer may grant a forbearance on the Whole Loan related to the global COVID-19 pandemic only if (i) such forbearance is permitted under another provision of this Agreement and the requirements under such provision are satisfied or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the effect that such forbearance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

Section 3.30        No Downgrade Confirmation. (a)  Notwithstanding the terms of any Loan Documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under the Loan Documents or this Agreement requires No Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) attempting to obtain such No Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating

-189-

(a) Except for those duties to be performed by, and notices to be furnished by, the Trustee under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall perform such duties and furnish such notices, reports and information on behalf of the Trust Fund as may be the

-191-

obligation of the Trust, or the obligation of the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, following securitization, under the Co-Lender Agreement.

(b)            The Master Servicer shall maintain a register (the “Companion Loan Noteholder Register”) on which the Master Servicer shall record the names and addresses of the Companion Loan Holders and wire transfer instructions for the Companion Loan Holders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to the Master Servicer by the related Companion Loan Holder. Each Companion Loan Holder agrees to inform the Master Servicer of its name, address, taxpayer identification number and wiring instructions (to the extent the foregoing information is not already contained in the Co-Lender Agreement) and of any transfer thereof (together with any instruments of transfer). The name and address of the initial Companion Loan Holders as of the Closing Date are set forth on Schedule II hereto. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the information delivered by the Companion Loan Holders including the identity of the controlling class representative in any related Other Securitization Trust until it receives notice of transfer or of any change in information.

In no event shall the Master Servicer be obligated to pay any party the amounts payable to the Companion Loan Holders hereunder other than the Persons listed as the applicable Companion Loan Holders on the Companion Loan Holder Register. In the event that any Companion Loan Holder transfers their respective Companion Loan(s) without notice to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever for any misdirected payment on the Companion Loan and shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment.

The Master Servicer shall promptly provide the names and addresses of the Companion Loan Holders, including the identity of the controlling class representative in any related Other Securitization Trust, to any party hereto, any Companion Loan Holder or any successor thereto upon written request, and any such party or successor may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information. The Master Servicer shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such name and address.

(c)            The Directing Holder shall not owe any fiduciary duty to the Trustee, any Master Servicer, any Special Servicer, any Certificateholder (including the Directing Holder, if applicable) or any Companion Loan Holder, as applicable. The Directing Holder shall not have any liability to the Certificateholders (including the Directing Holder, if applicable), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, or any Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent, pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment.

(d)            The Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise the consent rights, cure rights and purchase rights, as applicable, allocated to the Directing Holder to the extent set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement.

(e)            The Special Servicer (with respect to the Companion Loan if the Companion Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or has become a Serviced REO Loan) or the Master Servicer (otherwise), as applicable, shall take all actions relating to the servicing and/or administration of, and (subject to Section 3.13 and Section 3.17 of this Agreement and the

-192-

following paragraph) the preparation and delivery of reports and other information with respect to, the Whole Loan or any related REO Property required to be performed by the holder of the Trust Loan or contemplated to be performed by a servicer, in any case pursuant to and as required by the Co-Lender Agreement. In addition notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the following considerations shall apply with respect to the servicing of the Companion Loan:

(i)             none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make any P&I Advance with respect to the Companion Loan; and

(ii)            the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each consult with and obtain the consent of the Companion Loan Holders to the extent, if any, required by the Co-Lender Agreement.

The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall timely provide to the Companion Loan Holders any reports or notices required to be delivered to the Companion Loan Holders pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement (provided, that to the extent that a Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization Trust, such reports or notices required to be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Companion Loan Holders shall be delivered to the controlling class representative for such Other Securitization Trust to the extent that the Special Servicer receives written notice of the identity of the controlling class representative for such Other Securitization Trust), and the Special Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Special Servicer in preparing/delivering any such report or notice with respect to special servicing matters.

If the Companion Loan or any portion thereof or any particular payments thereon are included in a REMIC or a “grantor trust”, then neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly take any action that would result in the equivalent of an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to such REMIC or adversely affect the tax status of such grantor trust as a grantor trust.

The parties hereto acknowledge that no Companion Loan Holder shall (1) owe any fiduciary duty to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Certificateholder or (2) have any liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement or the giving of any consent or for errors in judgment. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, shall be deemed to have confirmed its understanding that the Companion Loan Holders (i) may take or refrain from taking actions that favor its interests or the interests of its Affiliates over the Certificateholders, (ii) may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of the Certificateholders and shall be deemed to have agreed to take no action against the Companion Loan Holders or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or conflicts, and (iii) shall not be liable by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting solely in its interest or in the interest of its Affiliates.

The parties hereto recognize and acknowledge the respective rights of the Companion Loan Holders under the Co-Lender Agreement. Each of the rights of any Companion Loan Holder under or contemplated by this Section 3.31(e) may be exercisable by a designee

-193-

thereof on its behalf; provided that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee are provided with written notice by such Companion Loan Holder of such designation (upon which such party may conclusively rely) and the contact details of the designee.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Co-Lender Agreement to the contrary, no direction or objection by any Companion Loan Holder may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of any Loan Agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, the Co-Lender Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, a Trust Loan Seller, the Paying Agent, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder.

Any reference to servicing of the Trust Loan or the Whole Loan in accordance with any of the related Loan Documents (including the related Note and Mortgage) shall also mean, in the case of the Companion Loan, in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement.

To the extent not otherwise expressly included herein, any provisions required to be included herein pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement are deemed incorporated herein by reference, and the parties hereto shall comply with those provisions as if set forth herein in full.

For purposes of exercising any rights that the Directing Holder of the Trust Loan Note for any Trust Loan may have under the Co-Lender Agreement, the Directing Holder shall be the designee of the Trust, as such noteholder, and the Trustee shall, upon request, take such actions as may be necessary under the Co-Lender Agreement to effect such designation. Unless already provided through the Distribution Date Statement, the Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of the identity of the Directing Holder (to the extent the Certificate Administrator has received notice of a change in the identity of the Directing Holder), to the other parties to the Co-Lender Agreement, to the extent the identity and contact information of such parties to such Co-Lender Agreement are actually known to the Certificate Administrator.

(f)             With respect to the Trust Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide the Companion Loan Holders within the same time frame and to the same extent it is required to provide such information and materials to the Certificateholders or the Directing Holder, as applicable, hereunder with (1) copies of each financial statement received by the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents, (2) copies of any notice of default sent to the Borrowers and (3) subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, copies of any other documents or information relating to the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, property inspection reports, loan servicing statements, Borrower requests and asset status reports) that the Master Servicer delivers to the related Directing Holder and copies of any other notice, information or report that it is required to provide to the Directing Holder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decision or with respect to any “Major Decisions” or “major actions” as set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Trust Loan. Any copies to be furnished by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may be furnished by hard copy or

-194-

electronic means, provided, however, CREFC^® reports shall be delivered at the times set forth in Section 3.13 in this Agreement.

(g)            With respect to the Whole Loan, if the Companion Loan becomes the subject of an “asset review” (or such analogous term defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or any other party to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with such asset review by providing the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party with copies of any documents reasonably requested by the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party, but only to the extent that (i) such asset representations reviewer or such other requesting party has not been able to obtain such documents from the related mortgage loan seller or any party to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, 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 (i) shall have any further obligations with respect to any asset review nor shall any such party be bound by the results of any asset review, or (ii) shall be obligated to provide such documents if providing such documents, in its reasonable determination, would be a violation of this Agreement or any related intercreditor agreement.

Upon the occurrence of (i) a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, obtaining actual knowledge that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is or has become a Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of any Successor Third Party Purchaser (an “Impermissible TPP Affiliate”), (ii) the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee receiving written notice from any other party to this Agreement, any Successor Third Party Purchaser, any Trust Loan Seller or any Initial Purchaser that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is or has become an Impermissible TPP Affiliate, or (iii) an officer or manager of the Operating Advisor that is responsible for performing the duties of the Operating Advisor obtaining actual knowledge that it is or has become a Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of any Successor Third Party Purchaser or any other party to this Agreement (an “Impermissible Operating Advisor Affiliate”; and either of an Impermissible TPP Affiliate or an Impermissible Operating Advisor Affiliate being an “Impermissible Credit Risk Retention Affiliate”), then in each such case the Impermissible Credit Risk Retention Affiliate shall be

-195-

required to promptly notify the Retaining Sponsor and the other parties to this Agreement and resign in accordance with Section 6.04, Section 6.11 or Section 8.07, as applicable. The resigning Impermissible Credit Risk Retention Affiliate will be required to bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each other party to this Agreement, the Trust and the Rating Agency in connection with such resignation as and to the extent required under this Agreement; provided, that if the affiliation causing an Impermissible Credit Risk Retention Affiliate is the result of any Successor Third Party Purchaser acquiring an interest in such Impermissible Credit Risk Retention Affiliate or an affiliate of such Impermissible Credit Risk Retention Affiliate, then such costs and expenses will be an expense of the Trust.

All Prepayment Charges so distributed shall first be deemed to have been distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the related Lower-Tier Regular Interest whether or not the related Lower-Tier Regular Interest has received all distributions of interest and principal to which it is entitled.

On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Excess Interest Distribution Account any amounts on deposit therein that represent Excess Interest collected on the Trust Loan during the related Collection Period and shall distribute such amounts to the Class S Certificates.

(d)            On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01(b), the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount, if any, of Realized Losses. Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Principal Balance 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 Fund. 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 applicable Class or in respect of which any such reimbursement is made.

The Certificate Balances of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution on any Distribution Date as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses allocated to such Class with respect to such Distribution Date. Any Realized Losses allocated to the Certificates shall be applied to the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in the following order, in each case until the Certificate Balance of such Class is reduced to zero: first, to the Class HRR Certificates; second, to the Class D Certificates; third, to the Class C Certificates; fourth, to the Class B Certificates; and finally, to the Class A Certificates based upon their respective Certificate Balances. Any amounts recovered in respect of amounts previously written off as Realized Losses shall be distributed to the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates described above in reverse order of allocation of Realized Losses thereto in accordance with Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement. Additional Trust Fund Expenses and shortfalls in Available Funds due to extraordinary expenses of the Trust Fund (including indemnification expenses), a reduction in the Trust Loan Rate on the Trust Loan by a bankruptcy court pursuant to a plan of

-199-

reorganization or pursuant to any of its equitable powers, or otherwise, shall be treated as and allocated in the same manner as Realized Losses.

With respect to any Distribution Date, any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement with respect to such Distribution Date shall reduce the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests as a write-off and shall be allocated among the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the same priority as the Class of Corresponding Certificates.

(e)            All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01 on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor; provided that such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

(f)            Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 with respect to an Anticipated Final Termination Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as reasonably practicable within the month preceding the month in which the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made, mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates on such date a notice to the effect that:

(A)             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

(B)              if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after such Distribution Date;

provided, however, that the Class R and Class LR Certificates shall remain outstanding until there is no other Class of Certificates or Lower-Tier Regular Interests outstanding.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of such Classes of Certificates on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders of Certificates 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(f) 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 Holders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final

-200-

distribution with respect thereto. If within one (1) 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 Holder or Holders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Holder(s) shall be paid out of such funds. If within two (2) years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holder(s) thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holder(s) until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) subject to the applicable law, 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 Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Holder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(f). Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

(g)            Any shortfalls in Available Funds resulting from Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfalls shall be allocated to, and Master Servicer Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amounts shall be deemed distributed to, the each Class of Certificates as follows: first, to the Class HRR Certificates, second, to the Class D Certificates, third, to the Class C Certificates, fourth, to the Class B Certificates, and finally, to the Class A Certificates and the Class X Certificates, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements. Master Servicer Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amounts shall be deposited by the Master Servicer into the Collection Account on or prior to the Servicer Remittance Date.

If the Master Servicer is required to deliver any statement, report or other information under any provision of this Agreement, then, the Master Servicer 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, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery; provided that all reports required to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered in accordance with clause (x) or (y) or, upon request, clause (z).

(f)             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 a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property as may be reasonably 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 allocating Realized Losses to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.01 of this Agreement and preparing the statements to Certificateholders required by Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement.

(g)            As soon as reasonably practicable, upon the written request of and at the expense of any Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall provide the requesting Certificateholder with such information that is in the Certificate Administrator’s possession or can reasonably be obtained by the Certificate Administrator as is requested by such Certificateholder, 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.

(h)            The Certificate Administrator shall make available at its offices, during normal business hours, upon not less than two (2) Business Days prior notice, for review by any Privileged Person upon resubmission of an Investor Certification, originals or copies of documents

-211-

relating to the Trust Loan and any REO Property to the extent in its possession, including, without limitation, the following items (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or under any of the Loan Documents):

(i)             any and all notices and reports delivered to the Certificate Administrator with respect to the Mortgaged Properties as to which the environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.10(g) of this Agreement revealed that neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) thereof was satisfied;

(ii)            the most recent annual (or more frequent, if available) operating statements, rent rolls (to the extent such rent rolls have been made available by the Borrower) and/or lease summaries and retail “sales information”, if any, collected by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in respect to the Mortgaged Properties;

(iii)           the Mortgage File, including any and all modifications, waivers and amendments of the terms of the Whole Loan entered into by the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer and delivered to the Certificate Administrator; and

(iv)           any other information that may be necessary, as determined by the Depositor, to satisfy the requirements of subsection (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act to the extent in the Certificate Administrator’s possession.

Copies of any and all of the foregoing items will be available from the Certificate Administrator upon request. The Certificate Administrator will be permitted to require payment by the requesting party (other than a Rating Agency) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of making such information available and providing any copies thereof. The Certificate Administrator’s obligation under this Section 4.02(h) to make available any document is subject to the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such document.

The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for providing or disseminating information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(i)             The Depositor hereby authorizes the Certificate Administrator to make available to any Financial Market Publisher or such other vendor chosen by the Depositor that submits to the Certificate Administrator a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-3 to this Agreement or in the form of an electronic certification contained on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, all the Distribution Date Statements, CREFC^® reports and supplemental notices delivered or made available pursuant to this Section 4.02 to Privileged Persons.

(j)             Upon request and delivery by CREFC^® of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 hereto (which may be a “click-through” confirmation), the Certificate Administrator shall make available to CREFC^®, with respect to any Distribution Date, the related Distribution Date Statement and CREFC^® IRP.

Section 4.03     Compliance with Withholding Requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders and payees of interest or original issue discount that the Paying Agent reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of

-212-

Certificateholders or payees shall not be required for any such withholding. If the Paying Agent or its agent withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee 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.

Section 4.01     REMIC Compliance. (a)  The parties intend that the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall constitute, and that the affairs of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in, and in accordance with, the REMIC Provisions at all times any Certificates are outstanding, 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)             make or cause to be made an election, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on Form 1066 for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions;

(ii)            prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, and cause the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall sign), all required Tax Returns for the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each of such REMIC as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal, state or local income tax laws;

(iii)           prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders 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;

(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 the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or is otherwise required by the Code, prepare 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)            within 30 days of the Closing Date, obtain a taxpayer identification number for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 and (in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC only), furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the person that the Certificateholders may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of the Upper-Tier REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such 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

-213-

information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing); and

(vi)           maintain such records relating to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information, such records, for federal income tax purposes, to be maintained on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

The Certificate Administrator shall be designated as the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code, of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC. Each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R or Class LR Certificates, by acceptance thereof, is deemed to have consented to the Certificate Administrator’s designation in such capacities and agrees to execute any documents required to give effect thereto, and any fees and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection therewith.

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 Holder of a Class R Certificate, past or present. Each Holder of Class R Certificate agrees, by acquiring such Certificate, to any such elections.

The Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally take any action or intentionally omit to take any action if, in taking or omitting to take such action, the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that such action or omission (as the case may be) would cause the termination of the REMIC status of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or the imposition of tax on the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust (other than a tax on income expressly permitted to be received by the terms of this Agreement). Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph 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, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer which does not enable the Certificate Administrator to comply with any of clauses (i) through (vi) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.04(a) or which results in any action contemplated by clauses (i) or (ii) of the next succeeding sentence. In this regard the Certificate Administrator shall (i) exercise reasonable care not to allow the occurrence of any “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Section 860F(a) of the Code, 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 the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or (c) cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC; and (ii) exercise reasonable care not to allow the Trust Fund to receive any contributions, or any income from the

-214-

performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by a REMIC (provided, however, that the receipt of any income expressly permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to violate this clause). None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Depositor shall be (i) permitted to take any action that the Certificate Administrator would not be permitted to take pursuant to the preceding two sentences or (ii) responsible or liable (except in connection with taking any act or omission referred to in the two preceding sentences or the following sentence) for any failure by the Certificate Administrator to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.04. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, 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 Trustee’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s or the Operating Advisor’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 Principal Balance Certificates: (i) the Trust 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 Trust Loan will prepay in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption; (ii) none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interest in the Class R and Class LR Certificates will exercise the right described in Section 9.01 of this Agreement to cause early termination of the Trust Fund; and (iii) no Trust Loan is repurchased by the Trust Loan Sellers pursuant to Article II hereof.

Section 4.02        Imposition of Tax on the Trust Fund. In the event that any tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates; provided that any taxes imposed on any net income from foreclosure property pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code 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 amounts in the REO Account allocable to the Trust Loan and transfer to the Certificate Administrator amounts reasonably determined by the Certificate Administrator to be necessary to pay such taxes, which the Certificate Administrator shall maintain in a separate, non-interest-bearing account, and the Certificate Administrator shall send to the Special Servicer for deposit in the REO Account the excess determined by the Certificate Administrator from time to time of the amount in such account over the amount necessary to pay such taxes) and shall be paid therefrom; provided that any such tax imposed on net income from foreclosure property that exceeds the amount in any such reserve shall be retained from Available Funds as provided in Section 3.06(a)(xii) 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 Available Funds sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by the applicable Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund, on a pro rata basis between the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan) any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax,

-215-

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 allocable to the Trust Loan from any “prohibited transaction” under Section 860F(a) of the Code or (ii) the amount of any contribution to the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier 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 tax (and return the balance thereof, if any, to the Collection Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account or the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, as the case may be). 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 or the Class LR Certificates, as the case may be, and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders of Principal Balance Certificates and the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, until they are fully reimbursed and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates or the Class LR Certificates, as applicable. Neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC except to the extent such tax is attributable to a breach of a representation or warranty or the negligence or willful misconduct of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, 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, provided, further, that such breach, act or omission could result in liability under Section 6.03 of this Agreement, in the case of the Master Servicer, Section 6.03 of this Agreement, in the case of the Operating Advisor, Section 4.04 of this Agreement, in the case of the Trustee or Section 4.04 of this Agreement, in the case of the Certificate Administrator in accordance with the standard of liability set forth in those sections. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in each such case, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall not be responsible for the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s breaches, acts or omissions, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicers and the Operating Advisor shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator.

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

Section 4.03     Remittances. On the Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to (a) the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, an amount equal to the Available Funds for such Distribution Date and (b) CREFC^® the CREFC^® License Fee.

Section 4.04        P&I Advances and Administrative Advances. (a)  On or before 3:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on each Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall

-216-

either (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, 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; provided, that such amounts in the Collection Account shall only be applied up to the Trust Loan’s pro rata share of the amounts held therein on such dates (unless such P&I Advance has been determined to be nonrecoverable, in which such amounts shall be applied pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement) 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 by the Master Servicer, except that the portion of such P&I Advance equal to the CREFC^® License Fee shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator but shall instead be remitted to CREFC^®. 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 Determination Date (to the extent not previously replaced through either (x) the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made or (y) the deposit of Monthly Payments collected prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period that ends after the P&I Advance Determination Date in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and 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 the P&I Advance Determination Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Servicer Remittance Date, then the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.06 of this Agreement by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date, in each case unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee) by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date or the Trustee determines that such P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to the Trust Loan, then it shall provide written notice to the related Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee of the amount of such P&I Advance within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

(b)            Subject to Section 4.07(d) and 4.07(e) below, the aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date shall equal the aggregate of: (i) the Monthly Payment (net of related Servicing Fees) other than the Balloon Payment that was due during the related Collection Period and delinquent (or unpaid, pending the expiration of any applicable grace period with respect to the Trust Loan having a grace period extending past the P&I Advance Determination Date) as of the close of business on the P&I Advance Determination Date (or not advanced by the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) with respect to the Trust Loan and (ii) with respect to the Balloon Payment that was due during or prior to the related Collection Period and was delinquent (including any applicable grace period) as of the end of the related Collection Period (including any REO Loan as to which the 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 or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such P&I Advances with respect to the Trust Loan (or REO Loan) is mandatory, and with respect to the Trust Loan or REO Loan, shall continue until the Distribution Date on which Liquidation Proceeds or REO Proceeds, if any, are to be

-217-

distributed. The Monthly Payment or Assumed Scheduled Payment shall be reduced, for purposes of P&I Advances, by any modifications pursuant to Section 3.26 of this Agreement or otherwise and by any reductions by a bankruptcy court pursuant to a plan of reorganization or pursuant to any of its equitable powers.

(c)            Subject to Section 4.07(d) and 4.07(e) below, the Master Servicer shall also make advances (“Administrative Advances”) with respect to the Trust Loan to pay Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees, Advance Interest Amounts and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Trust or by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee in connection with the servicing and administration of the Whole Loan allocable to the Trust Loan not otherwise covered by a Property Advance, including in connection with any workout of the Trust Loan or enforcement of the terms of the Loan Documents, in each case, to the extent the Borrowers (1) are obligated to reimburse the Trust for such amounts pursuant to the Loan Documents and (2) do not pay such amounts on or prior to the time when the party is entitled to payment or reimbursement of such amounts from the Collection Account or the Distribution Account in accordance with terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall deposit Administrative Advances into the Collection Account within the same time frame required for P&I Advances as provided in Section 4.07(a). The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of Administrative Advances for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable Administrative Advances for such Distribution Date, on or before the P&I Advance Determination Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required Administrative Advance by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Servicer Remittance Date, then the Trustee shall make such Administrative Advance pursuant to Section 7.06 of this Agreement by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date, in each case unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee) by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date or the Trustee determines that such Administrative Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance or Administrative Advance shall be required hereunder if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that such P&I Advance or Administrative Advance (together with interest on such P&I Advance or Administrative Advance, as applicable at the Advance Rate) would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. In addition, the Master Servicer shall not make any P&I Advance or Administrative Advance to the extent that it has received written notice that the Special Servicer has determined that such P&I Advance or Administrative Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Administrative Advance. In making such nonrecoverability determination, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and Trustee shall be entitled (i) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to the Trust Loan, the recovery of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in light of the fact that proceeds on the Trust Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance which is being or may be deferred or delayed, (ii) to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrowers under the terms of the Whole Loan as it may have been modified, (iii) to consider (among other things) the Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancy, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with

-218-

the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, (iv) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) (among other things) future expenses and (v) to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries.

If an Appraisal of any Mortgaged Property shall not have been obtained within the prior 9-month period (and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each request any such appraisal from the Special Servicer prior to ordering an Appraisal pursuant to this sentence) or if such an Appraisal shall have been obtained but as a result of unforeseen occurrences, such Appraisal does not, in the good faith determination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reflect current market conditions, and the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and the Special Servicer cannot agree on the appropriate downward adjustment to such Appraisal, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, may, subject to its reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the Trust Fund.

Any such determination by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee that the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Administrative Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be evidenced, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor (if such determination was made during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period) and the Directing Holder (if such determination was made during a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period) and, in the case of the Trustee, by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, delivered to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor (if such determination was made during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period) and the Directing Holder (if such determination was made during a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period), in each case sets forth such nonrecoverability determination and the considerations of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (such certificate to be accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and other information used by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination, together with any existing Appraisal or any Updated Appraisal); provided that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Advance previously made or proposed to be made is nonrecoverable and shall deliver to the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) notice of such determination, together with a certificate of a Servicing Officer and the supporting information described above. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee.

Any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that a P&I Advance or Administrative Advance

-219-

is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) may obtain, at the expense of the Trust Fund, any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes. Absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance or Administrative Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders.

Notwithstanding the above, (i) the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on, and shall be bound by, any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, if such determination is received prior to the applicable Advance, and (ii) the Master Servicer will be entitled to rely conclusively on, and shall be bound by, any determination of the Special Servicer that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, if such determination is received prior to the applicable Advance. The Trustee, in determining whether or not an Advance previously made is, or a proposed Advance, if made, would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be subject to a good faith business judgment standard. The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish the Master Servicer and the Trustee with any information in its possession regarding a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property as each such party may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations.

(e)            In connection with the recovery of any Advance out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay itself or the Trustee, as the case may be (in reverse of such order with respect to the Trust Loan or REO Property) out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account interest at the Advance Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Advance from the date made with respect to the Trust Loan. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding Advance as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account with respect to the Trust Loan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.06 of this Agreement, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Prepayment Charges, Penalty Charges, Excess Interest or any cure payments and (ii) the interest portion of any P&I Advance with respect to the Trust Loan as to which there has been an Appraisal Reduction Amount will be an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount required to be advanced without giving effect to the Appraisal Reduction Amount and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of the Trust Loan (as of the immediately preceding Determination Date) less any Appraisal Reduction Amount applicable to the Trust Loan and the denominator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of the Trust Loan (as of such immediately preceding Determination Date). All P&I Advances for the Trust Loan that has been modified shall be calculated on the basis of their terms as modified. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to make a principal and interest advance or an administrative advance with respect to the Companion Loan.

The portion of any Insurance Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Condemnation Proceeds in respect of the Trust Loan or any REO Loan allocable to principal shall equal the total amount of such proceeds minus (i) any portion thereof payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) a portion thereof equal to the interest component of the

-220-

Monthly Payment(s), as accrued at the Mortgage Rate from the date as to which interest was last paid by the Borrowers up to but not including the Due Date in the Collection Period in which such proceeds are received; provided, however, that in the event that the interest portion(s) of one or more P&I Advances with respect of the Trust Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, were reduced as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Condemnation Proceeds to be applied to interest shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such reductions and the portion of such Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Condemnation Proceeds to be applied to principal shall be increased by such amount, and if the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Condemnation Proceeds to be applied to principal has been applied to pay the principal of the Trust Loan or REO Loan in full, any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Condemnation Proceeds shall then be applied to pay any remaining accrued and unpaid interest of the Trust Loan or REO Loan.

(f)             The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of P&I Advances or Administrative Advances it makes to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such P&I Advances or Administrative Advances to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such Advances from the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Trust Loan and this Agreement.

(g)            The Master Servicer will be permitted to make its determination that it has made a P&I Advance on the Trust Loan that is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance with respect to such Trust Loan in accordance with Section 4.07(a) independently of any determination made in respect of the Companion Loan, by the master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to the Trust Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to any such Trust Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance or if the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an outstanding Property Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and the Other Trustee under each related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement with written notice of such determination, promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days after such determination or such longer time period permitted by the applicable Co-Lender Agreement. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from any master servicer under any such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement that such master servicer has determined, with respect to the related Companion Loan, that any proposed advance of principal and/or interest with respect to the Companion Loan would be, or any outstanding advance of principal and interest is, a nonrecoverable advance of principal and/or interest, such determination shall not be binding on the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Trustee.

If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer receives notice from a Rating Agency that it is no longer approved as a master servicer or a special servicer, as applicable, for commercial mortgage securitizations, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee, any Other Trustee, any Other Servicer and any other trustee or master servicer with respect to each commercial mortgage securitization that holds the Companion Loan, if any.

Section 4.05            Appraisal Reductions; Collateral Deficiency Amounts. (a) For purposes of determining (i) the Controlling Class, (ii) whether a Subordinate Control Period, Subordinate Consultation Period or an Operating Advisor Consultation Period is then in effect, or (iii) Voting Rights of the related Classes for certain purposes, including replacement of the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor, any Appraisal Reduction Amounts (other than Assumed Appraisal Reduction Amounts) and Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to the Trust Loan shall be allocated to each Class of Principal Balance Certificates 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 HRR Certificates, second, to the Class D Certificates, third, to the Class C Certificates, fourth, to the Class B Certificates and fifth, to the Class A Certificates). For the avoidance of doubt, Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Collateral Deficiency Amounts shall not be allocated concurrently to the Principal Balance Certificates.

Following the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts, the Certificate Administrator shall determine whether a Subordinate Control Period, a Subordinate Consultation Period and/or an Operating Advisor Consultation Period is then in effect, and shall promptly notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of such determination and shall post such determination to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

(b)          If the Certificate Balance of the Class HRR Certificates (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to the Trust Loan to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class) has been reduced to less than 25% of its respective initial Certificate Balance, such Class shall be referred to as an “Appraised-Out Class”. The holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of the Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a second appraisal of the Mortgaged Properties (such holders, the “Requesting Holders”), and the Special Servicer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an appraisal from an MAI appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request. Any Appraised-Out Class for which the Requesting Holders are challenging the Appraisal Reduction Amount determination shall not be permitted to exercise any rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as such Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class and the rights of the Controlling Class shall be exercised by the next most senior Class that is eligible to be a Controlling Class, if any, during such period.

In addition, the Requesting Holders of any Appraised Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional appraisal of the Mortgaged Properties following an Appraisal Reduction Event if an event has occurred at, or with regard to, any Mortgaged Property that would have a material effect on its appraised value, and the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an appraisal from an MAI appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request; 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 Mortgaged Properties have occurred that would have a material effect on the appraised value of the Mortgaged Properties. The right of the holders of an Appraised Out Class to require the Special Servicer to order an additional appraisal as described in this paragraph shall be limited to no more frequently than once in any 9 month period.

-222-

Upon receipt of such additional appraisal, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such second appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so warranted, shall direct the Master Servicer to recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such second appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the applicable Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each Appraised-Out Class shall have its Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on such second appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class will be reinstated as a Controlling Class.

As of the first Determination Date following the Whole Loan becoming an AB Modified Loan, the Master Servicer shall calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent Appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to the Whole Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. The Special Servicer, upon reasonable prior written request, shall provide the Master Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount. None of the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

Appraisals that are permitted to be obtained at the request of the holders of the 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 otherwise pursuant to this Agreement) or that the Special Servicer is otherwise required or permitted to order under this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Requesting Holder.

For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining whether the Class HRR Certificates is the Controlling Class or whether a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period is then in effect, the Controlling Class Certificates shall be allocated both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts, in accordance with this Section 4.08(a). The appraised value of the Mortgaged Properties shall be determined on an “as is” basis.

The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the Whole Loan (which notification shall be made by delivery of the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.13 hereof) and the amount of any Collateral Deficiency Amount allocated to the AB Modified Loan (which notification shall be made by delivery of such information included in the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File and the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Template or such report mutually agreed to between the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, which shall be delivered simultaneously with the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.13 hereof). Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time whether the Class HRR is the Controlling Class. In connection with the Certificate Administrator’s determination of whether the Class HRR is the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall determine whether a Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period (or neither) is then in effect. Promptly upon its determination that the Class HRR is no

-223-

longer the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer.

Section 4.06     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 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, the Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally or knowingly vary the assets of the Grantor Trust so as to take advantage of market fluctuations so as to improve the rate of return of the Regular Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS Form SS-4, 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 applicable Certificates their allocable share of income and expense, as such amounts are received or accrue, as applicable.

(c)          As of the Closing Date no Class S Certificate is held through a “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations. If the Certificate Administrator receives notice that the Class S Certificates are held through a “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations, then 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. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that the Depository is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the IRS makes a determination that the first sentence of this paragraph is incorrect.

(d)          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 its website) WHFIT information with respect to the Grantor Trust to the 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.

(e)           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 S Certificate, by acceptance of its interest in such Class of securities, shall 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 S Certificate, 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.

-224-

To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to make available the CUSIPs for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIPs so published shall represent the Rule 144A CUSIPs. The Certificate Administrator will not make available any associated Regulation S CUSIPs. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Trustee shall 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.

ARTICLE V

THE CERTIFICATES

Section 5.01          The Certificates. (a) The Certificates consist of the Class A Certificates, the Class X Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates, the Class D Certificates, the Class HRR Certificates, the Class S Certificates, the Class R Certificates and the Class LR Certificates.

The Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class HRR, Class S, Class R and Class LR Certificates will be substantially in the forms of Exhibits A-1 through A-9 to this Agreement, as set forth in the Table of Exhibits to this Agreement. The Certificates of each Class (other than the Class S, Class LR and Class R Certificates) will be issuable in registered form only, in minimum denominations of authorized Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, as described in the succeeding table, and multiples of $l in excess thereof (or such lesser amount if the Certificate Balance is not a multiple of $1). With respect to any Certificate or any beneficial interest in a Certificate, the “Denomination” thereof shall be (i) the amount (A) set forth on the face thereof or (B) in the case of any Global Certificate, set forth on a schedule attached thereto or, in the case of any beneficial interest in a Global Certificate, the amount set forth on the books and records of the related Depository Participant or indirect participating brokerage firm, as applicable, (ii) expressed in terms of Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, and (iii) be in an authorized denomination, as set forth below. 

Class	Minimum Denomination	Aggregate Denomination of all Certificates of Class
A	$100,000	$200,690,000
X	$1,000,000	$200,690,000
B	$100,000	$57,945,000
C	$100,000	$258,191,000
D	$100,000	$138,174,000
HRR	$100,000	$41,000,000

Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class. The Class S, Class R and Class LR Certificates will each be issuable in one or more registered, definitive physical certificates in minimum denominations of 5% Percentage Interests and integral multiples of a 1% Percentage Interest in excess thereof and together aggregating the entire 100% Percentage Interest in each such Class.

-225-

The Global Certificates shall be issued as one or more certificates registered in the name of a nominee designated by the Depository, and Beneficial Owners shall hold interests in the Global Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in the minimum Denominations and aggregate Denominations and Classes as set forth above.

The Global Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as Individual Certificates authenticated and delivered hereunder.

(b)        Except insofar as pertains to any Individual Certificate, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Trustee may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Global Certificates and the giving of notice to Holders thereof) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners with respect to the Global Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder; provided, however, that for purposes of transmitting communications pursuant to Section 5.05(a) of this Agreement, to the extent that the Depository has provided the Certificate Administrator with the names of Beneficial Owners (even if such Certificateholders hold their Certificates through the Depository) the Certificate Administrator shall provide such information to such Beneficial Owners directly. The rights of Beneficial Owners with respect to Global Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificateholders and the Depository and Depository Participants. Except as set forth in Section 5.01(e) below, Beneficial Owners of Global Certificates shall not be entitled to physical certificates for the Global Certificates as to which they are the Beneficial Owners. Requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Global Certificates shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 5.01 of this Agreement and Applicable Procedures, the holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate may request that the Certificate Administrator cause the Depository (or any Agent Member) to notify the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Custodian in writing of a request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or Certificates. Upon receipt of such a request and payment by the related Beneficial Owner of any attendant expenses, the Certificate Administrator shall cause the issuance and delivery of such Individual Certificates. The Depositor may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and give notice to the Depository of such record date. Without the written consent of the Certificate Registrar, no Global Certificate may be transferred by the Depository except to a successor Depository that agrees to hold the Global Certificates for the account of the Beneficial Owners.

(c)           Any of the Certificates may be issued with appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required to comply with any law or with rules or regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities market in which the Certificates are admitted to trading, or to conform to general usage.

(d)          The Global Certificates (i) shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar to the Depository or, pursuant to the Depository’s instructions on behalf of the Depository to, and deposited with, the Certificate Custodian, and in either case shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and (ii) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

-226-

“Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Certificate Registrar for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein”. 

The Global Certificates may be deposited with such other Depository as the Certificate Registrar may from time to time designate, and shall bear such legend as may be appropriate.

(e)           If (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able properly to discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Depositor, at its sole option, elects in writing to the Certificate Administrator and to the Depository to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository with respect to all or any portion of any Class of Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the affected Beneficial Owner or Owners through the Depository of the occurrence of such event and the availability of Individual Certificates to such Beneficial Owners requesting them. Upon surrender to the Certificate Administrator of Global Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Certificate Administrator shall issue the Individual Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor shall be liable for any actions taken by the Depository or its nominee, including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of such instructions. Upon the issuance of Individual Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall recognize the Holders of Individual Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

(f)           If the Trustee, its agents, the Certificate Administrator, its agents or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer have instituted or have been directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a court to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders under the Certificates, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer have been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to obtain possession of the Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may in their sole discretion determine that the Certificates represented by the Global Certificates shall no longer be represented by such Global Certificates. In such event, the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent will execute and authenticate and the Certificate Registrar will deliver, in exchange for such Global Certificates, Individual Certificates (and if the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Custodian has in its possession Individual Certificates previously executed, the Authenticating Agent will authenticate and the Certificate

-227-

Registrar will deliver such Certificates) in a Denomination equal to the aggregate Denomination of such Global Certificates.

(g)         Each Certificate may be printed or in typewritten or similar form, and each Certificate shall, upon original issue, be executed and authenticated by the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent and delivered to, or at the order of, the Depositor. All Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating Agent by an authorized officer or signatory. Certificates bearing the signature of an individual who was at any time the proper officer or signatory of the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating Agent shall bind the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating Agent, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office or position prior to the delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such office or position at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication in the form set forth in Exhibits A-1 through A-9 executed by the Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

(h)          If, in connection with any Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall have reported the amount of an anticipated distribution to the Depository based on the expected receipt of any monthly payment based on information set forth in any report of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or any other monthly payment, Balloon Payment or prepayment expected to be paid on the last two (2) Business Days preceding such Distribution Date, and the Borrowers fail to make such payments at such time, and the Master Servicer revises its final report and as a result the Certificate Administrator revises its report to the Depository after the Depository deadline, the Certificate Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Depository to make the revised distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be liable or held responsible for any resulting delay (or claims by DTC resulting therefrom) in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders. Any out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Certificate Administrator as a consequence of the Borrowers failing to make such payments shall be reimbursable to the Certificate Administrator as an expense of the Trust Fund. Any such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust Fund.

Section 5.02          Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept at its offices books (the “Certificate Register”) for the registration, transfer and exchange of Certificates (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being the “Certificate Registrar”). The Depositor, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate Register. The names and addresses of all Certificateholders and the names and addresses of the transferees of any Certificates shall be registered in the Certificate Register; provided, however, that in no event shall the Certificate Registrar be required to maintain in the Certificate Register the names of the individual Participants holding beneficial interests in the Trust Fund through the Depository. The Person in whose name any Certificate is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole

-228-

owner and Holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the Depositor, Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. An Individual Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon the surrender of such Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements of (g) and Sections 5.02(c), Section 5.02(d), Section 5.02(e), Section 5.02(f), Section 5.02(g), Section 5.02(h) and Section 5.02(i) of this Agreement. Upon request of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar shall provide the Certificate Administrator with the names, addresses and Percentage Interests of the Holders.

The Risk Retained Certificates shall only be held as a Definitive Certificate in the Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator (and the Retaining Party shall be registered on the Certificate Register), unless otherwise consented to by the Retaining Sponsor. The Certificate Administrator shall hold each Risk Retained Certificate in safekeeping and shall release the same only upon receipt of written instructions in accordance with this Agreement from the Retaining Party and the Retaining Sponsor’s consent (subject to this Section 5.02(a)), and in accordance with any authentication Administrator. There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator an account which will be designated the “Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account” and into which each Risk Retained Certificate 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 Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account for the Retaining Party. Each Risk Retained Certificate 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 Risk Retained Certificate in connection with the initial issuance thereof and, for so long as the Risk Retained Certificates are held in the Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Article V of any Risk Retained Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Retaining Party a receipt in the form set forth in Exhibit V. No amounts distributable to the Risk Retained Certificates shall be remitted to the Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account, but instead shall be remitted directly to (or otherwise at the direction of) the 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 the Retaining Party to the Certificate Administrator. Under no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping any Risk Retained Certificate shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any Person on behalf of the Retaining Party. The Certificate Administrator shall hold the Definitive Certificate representing the Risk Retained Certificates at the below location, or any other location; provided the Certificate Administrator has given notice to the Retaining Party of such new location:

               Wells Fargo Bank, NA
425 E Hennepin Avenue
Minneapolis, MN 55414
Attention: Security Control and Transfer (SCAT) – MAC N9345-010

-229-

On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver written confirmation to the Depositor, the Retaining Sponsor and the Retaining Party substantially in the form of Exhibit V to this Agreement evidencing its receipt of the Risk Retained Certificates.

The Certificate Administrator shall make available to the Retaining Party its respective account information as mutually agreed upon by the Certificate Administrator and such Retaining Party, and in accordance with the Certificate Administrator’s policies and procedures. Any transfer of a Risk Retained Certificate shall be subject to this Article V.

After the release of any Risk Retained Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.02(a), the Certificate Administrator shall have no liability or obligation with respect to the safekeeping of such released Risk Retained Certificates. 

(b)          Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Individual Certificate, subject to the requirements of Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination as the Individual Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of this Agreement. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar. Each new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be registered in the name of any Person as the transferring Holder may request, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.01(g) and 5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Agreement.

(c)          In addition to the provisions of Sections 5.01(g) and 5.02(d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Agreement and the rules of the Depository, the exchange, transfer and registration of transfer of Individual Certificates or beneficial interests in the Global Certificates shall be subject to the following restrictions:

(i)           Transfers between Holders of Individual Certificates. With respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of an Individual Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate (other than transfers of the Class R or Class LR Certificates, which may be made only in accordance with Section 5.02(i)):

(A)          The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of an Individual Certificate if (1) the requested transfer is being made (x) in connection with the initial transfer from an Initial Purchaser to an initial investor or (y) by a transferee who has provided the Certificate Registrar with an Investment Representation Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to this Agreement (an “Investment Representation Letter”), to the effect that the transfer is being made to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in accordance with Rule 144A or (2) prior to the transfer the related transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar (x) an Investment Representation Letter to the effect that the transfer is being made to an Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified Institutional Buyer) or to an Affiliated Person in accordance with an applicable exemption under the Act, and (y) in the case of a transfer to an Affiliated Person, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such transfer is in compliance with the Act; or

-230-

(B)          The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of an Individual Certificate pursuant to Regulation S after the expiration of the Restricted Period if (1) the transferor has provided the Certificate Registrar with a Regulation S Transfer Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G to this Agreement (a “Regulation S Transfer Certificate”), and (2) the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Representation Letter;

and, in each case, the Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of an Individual Certificate only if prior to the transfer the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a written undertaking by the transferor to reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. In addition, the Certificate Registrar may, as a condition of the registration of any such transfer, require the transferor to furnish such other certificates, legal opinions or other information (at the transferor’s expense) as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Act and other applicable laws.

(ii)     Transfers within the Global Certificates. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Certificate remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers within the Global Certificates shall only be made in accordance with this Section 5.02(c)(ii).

(iii)    Transfers from the Global Certificates to Individual Certificates. Any and all transfers from a Global Certificate to a transferee wishing to take delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate will require the transferee to take delivery subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Individual Certificate described in a legend set forth on the face of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F to this Agreement (the “Securities Legend”), and such transferee agrees that it will transfer such Individual Certificate only as provided therein and herein. No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer is made in accordance with this Section 5.02(c)(iii).

(A)        Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified Institutional Buyer or an initial transfer from an Initial Purchaser to an Institutional Accredited Investor) will require delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate and the Certificate Registrar shall register such transfer only upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5.02(c)(i)(A) of this Agreement.

(B)        Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate to a Qualified Institutional Buyer or a Regulation S Investor wishing to take delivery in

-233-

the form of an Individual Certificate will be registered by the Certificate Registrar only upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5.02(c)(i)(A) and (B) of this Agreement, respectively.

(C)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to an Individual Certificate pursuant to subparagraph (B) above shall be made prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period.

Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for an Individual 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 Individual Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof. Unless determined otherwise by the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor in accordance with applicable law, an Individual Certificate issued upon transfer of or exchange for a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate shall bear the Securities Legend.

(iv)    Transfers of Individual Certificates to the Global Certificates. If a Holder of an Individual Certificate wishes at any time to transfer such Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related Regulation S Global Certificate or the related Rule 144A Global Certificate, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and this Section 5.02(c)(iv). Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office of (l) the Individual Certificate to be transferred with an assignment and transfer pursuant to Section 5.05(a) of this Agreement, (2) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate or such Rule 144A Global Certificate, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the Denomination of the Individual Certificate to be so transferred, (3) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member and, in the case of any transfer pursuant to Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be, to be credited with such beneficial interest, and (4) (x) an Investment Representation Letter from the transferee and, if delivery is to be taken in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate, a Regulation S Transfer Certificate from the transferor or (y) an Investment Representation Letter from the transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer if delivery is to be taken in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel such Individual Certificate, execute and deliver a new Individual Certificate for the Denomination of the Individual Certificate not so transferred, registered in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s transferee (as instructed by the Holder), and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to increase the Denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate or the Rule 144A Global Certificate, as the case may be, by the Denomination of the Individual Certificate to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions who, in the

-234-

case of any increase in the Regulation S Global Certificate during the Restricted Period, shall be an Agent Member acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be, a corresponding Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate or the Regulation S Global Certificate, as the case may be.

It is the intent of the foregoing that under no circumstances may an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate other than the initial transfer from an Initial Purchaser to an Institutional Accredited Investor.

(v)     All Transfers. An exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for an Individual Certificate or Certificates, an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate and an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates for another Individual Certificate or Certificates (in each case, whether or not such exchange is made in anticipation of subsequent transfer, and, in the case of the Global Certificates, so long as the Global Certificates remain outstanding and are held by or on behalf of the Depository), may be made only in accordance with this Section 5.02 and in accordance with the rules of the Depository and Applicable Procedures.

(d)          If Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates not bearing the Securities Legend, the Certificates so issued shall not bear the Securities Legend. If Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing the Securities Legend, or if a request is made to remove the Securities Legend on a Certificate, the Certificates so issued shall bear the Securities Legend, or the Securities 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 (at the expense of the party requesting the removal of such legend) familiar with United States securities laws, as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar, that neither the Securities Legend nor the restrictions on transfers set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers of any Certificate comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Act or that such Certificate is not a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and deliver a Certificate that does not bear the Securities Legend.

(e)           Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in Section 5.01(i) and in this Section 5.02, the Holder of any Individual Certificate may transfer or exchange the same in whole or in part (with a denomination equal to any authorized denomination) by surrendering such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or at the office of any transfer agent appointed as provided under this Agreement, together with an instrument of assignment or transfer (executed by the Holder or its duly authorized attorney), in the case of transfer, and a written request for exchange, in the case of exchange. Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days of such request if made at such office of the Certificate Registrar or within ten Business Days if made at the office of a transfer agent (other than the Certificate Registrar), execute and deliver at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of such transfer agent, as the case may be, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first-class mail (at the risk of the transferee in the case of transfer or Holder in the case of exchange) to such address as the transferee or Holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual Certificate or Certificates, as the

-235-

case may require, for a like aggregate Denomination and in such Denomination or Denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of a transfer agent by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact. The Certificate Registrar may decline to accept any request for an exchange or registration of transfer of any Certificate during the period of 15 days preceding any Distribution Date.

(f)           An Individual Certificate (other than an Individual Certificate issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Agreement) or a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate may only be transferred to Eligible Investors or Regulation S Investors, as described herein. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that such an Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a Global Certificate is being held by or for the benefit of a Person who is not an Eligible Investor, or that such holding is unlawful under the laws of a relevant jurisdiction, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right to void such transfer, if permitted under applicable law, or to require the investor to sell such Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a Global Certificate to an Eligible Investor within fourteen days after notice of such determination and each Certificateholder by its acceptance of a Certificate authorizes the Certificate Registrar to take such action.

(g)           Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.02 regarding transfer and exchange, transfers of the Global Certificates shall be limited to transfers of such Global Certificates in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depository or to a successor of the Depository or such successor’s nominee.

(h)           No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in this Section 5.02 other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers, as provided herein. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund 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 herein) 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.

(i)           Subject to Section 5.02(e) of this Agreement, transfers of the Class R and Class LR Certificates may be made only in accordance with this Section 5.02(i). The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Class R or Class LR Certificate only if (x) the transferor has advised the Certificate Registrar in writing that such Certificate is being transferred to a Qualified Institutional Buyer or an Affiliated Person and (y) prior to such transfer the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Representation Letter. In addition, the Certificate Registrar may as a condition of the registration of any such transfer require the transferor to furnish such other certifications, legal opinions or other information (at the transferor’s expense) as it may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Act and other applicable laws.

-236-

(j)         No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Act and such state securities laws. Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar are obligated to register or qualify the Certificates under the Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to affect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Initial Purchasers and the Certificate Registrar, against any loss, liability or expense that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

(k)          No transfer of any Class HRR, Class S, Class R or Class LR Certificate (each, a “Restricted Certificate”) shall be made to (i) an employee benefit plan or other plan or retirement arrangement, including an individual retirement account or a Keogh plan, which is subject to ERISA, or to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan, as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA, or other plan subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”), which is, to a material extent, similar to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (ii) any Person acting on behalf of any Plan or using the assets of any Plan (including any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a Plan’s investment in the entity (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA)) to acquire any such Restricted Certificate, other than, in the case of the Class HRR Certificates, insurance company general accounts purchasing and holding under circumstances that meet all of the requirements of Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Exemption 95-60 or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, under circumstances where the acquisition, holding and disposition of the Restricted Certificates will not result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law. Each prospective transferee of a Restricted Certificate (other than in the case of the initial transfer from the Initial Purchasers to an initial investor) shall deliver to the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator, a transfer or representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 to this Agreement, stating that the prospective transferee is not and will not become a Person referred to in (i) or (ii) above. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall register a Class S, Class R or Class LR Certificate in any Person’s name unless such Person has provided the letter referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. Each beneficial owner of a Certificate (other than a Class S, Class R or Class LR Certificate) or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of such Certificate or interest therein, that (i) it is not a Plan and is not acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan (including any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a Plan’s investment in the entity (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA)) to purchase the Certificates, (ii) in the case of a Certificate that meets the rating requirements of the Underwriter Exemption at the time of purchase, that (w) it has acquired and is holding such Certificate or an interest therein in reliance on the Underwriter Exemption, (x) it understands that there certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriter Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by a rating agency that meets the requirements of the Underwriter Exemption and that

-237-

such Certificate is so rated, and (y) it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D, or (iii) it is an insurance company general account and all requirements of Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 will be met with respect to its acquisition, holding and disposition of the Certificates (or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, that its acquisition, holding and disposition of the Certificates will not result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law). Any transfer of a Certificate that would violate these restrictions or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio.

Each purchaser of Certificates that is a Plan subject to ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code (“ERISA Plan”) or is acting on behalf of or using the assets of an ERISA Plan will be deemed to have represented and warranted that (i) none of the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sponsors or any of their respective affiliated entities, has provided any investment advice within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (and the applicable regulations) to the ERISA Plan or the fiduciary making the investment decision for the ERISA Plan in connection with the ERISA Plan’s acquisition of Certificates, and (ii) the ERISA Plan fiduciary making the decision to acquire the Certificates is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the investment in the Certificates.

(l)         Each Person who has or acquires any Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i)           Each Person acquiring or holding any Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such 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 Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.02(l) 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 and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Ownership Interest as fully as possible.

(ii)          No 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 (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), 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 Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require delivery to it in form and substance satisfactory to it, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (i) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the

-238-

future, (ii) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of an Ownership Interest, it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (iii) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Ownership Interest as they become due, (iv) the proposed transferee will not transfer the 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, (v) the proposed transferee will not cause income from the Class R or Class LR Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the proposed transferee or any other U.S. Person and (vi) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.02(l) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Class R and Class LR Certificates, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 (the “Transferor Certificate”), 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 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, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee.

Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restriction or transfer imposed under Article V of this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any Certificate (including, without limitation, the Securities Legend), or any interest therein, other than to require delivery of the certification(s) and/or opinions of counsel described in Article V applicable with respect to changes in registration of record ownership of Certificates in the Certificate Register. The Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall have no liability for transfers, including transfers made through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or between or among Depository Participants or Beneficial Owners made in violation of applicable restrictions.

Upon written notice to the Certificate Registrar, or upon the Certificate Registrar having actual knowledge, that there has occurred a Transfer of an Ownership Interest 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 60 days after a request for information from the transferor of such Ownership Interest, or such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator agree to furnish to the IRS and the transferor of such 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 or Class LR Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar and the

-239-

Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator 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.

(m)         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 information relating to such Certificateholder 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 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. In connection with the foregoing, such holders shall be required to provide any information that the Certificate Administrator may reasonably request to perform its tax obligations.

(n)          At all times during the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of the Class HRR Certificates after the Closing Date is to be made, then the Certificate Administrator in conjunction with 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 C-3, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Party and the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Party and the Retaining Sponsor, (ii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Party and the Retaining Sponsor (if different) with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Party and the Retaining Sponsor (if different), (iii) an IRS Form W9 completed by the prospective Transferee and (iv) wiring instructions and contact information of the prospective Transferee. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.02(e), register the Transfer of the Class HRR Certificate, reflect such Class HRR Certificate in the name of the prospective Transferee and deliver written confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit S. The Certificate Registrar shall not register a Transfer of any Class HRR Certificate after the Closing Date during the Transfer Restriction Period unless it is so instructed by the Certificate Administrator. After the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of a Class HRR Certificate is to be made and such Class HRR Certificate is in the Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account, then upon receipt of: (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-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 C-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, the Certificate Administrator (which may conclusively rely upon such certifications) shall instruct the Certificate Registrar to register such Transfer, and upon receipt of the Certificate Administrator’s instruction, the Certificate Registrar shall register the Transfer of the Class HRR

-240-

Certificate and reflect such Class HRR Certificate in the name of the prospective Transferee. After the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of a Class HRR Certificate is to be made and such Class HRR Certificate is in the Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account, the Certificate Registrar shall not register a Transfer of such Class HRR Certificate unless it is so instructed by the Certificate Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Class HRR Certificate be held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the Transfer Restriction Period. After the Transfer Restriction Period, a Class HRR Certificate may be transferred subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Article V. Any transfer of an interest in a Class HRR Certificate that is not in compliance with this Section 5.02 shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law.

Section 5.03          Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i) 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 (ii) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it and the Certificate Administrator harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent shall execute and authenticate and the Certificate Registrar shall deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of the corresponding interest in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.04         Appointment of Paying Agent. The Certificate Administrator may appoint a paying agent for the purpose of making distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall cause such Paying Agent, if other than the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, to execute and deliver to the Master Servicer and the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Master Servicer and the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums have been paid to the Certificateholders or disposed of as otherwise provided herein. The initial Paying Agent shall be the Certificate Administrator.

-243-

provided a No Downgrade Confirmation (and each rating agency then rating the Companion Loan Securities has provided a No Downgrade Confirmation) relating to the Certificates; provided, however, that no Rating Agency shall be required to provide a No Downgrade Confirmation if (x) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor is merged into or consolidated with a Qualified Affiliate or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to a Qualified Affiliate or (y) 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 the applicable law, in which case, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall also not, as a result of the merger, be required to obtain the consent of the Depositor.

(b)          None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action, unless such action relates to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability not recoverable from the Trust Fund; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor may in its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account (in accordance with Section 3.06 of this Agreement) no later than 60 days after submitting such expenses or costs for reimbursement, provided that a failure to reimburse such parties within such 60 days will not affect or limit such parties’ rights to receive reimbursement hereunder; provided that such amounts shall be allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the Co-Lender Agreement.

(c)           The terms of this Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of any party hereto or of this Agreement.

expenses are intended to include costs, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity (but only after a non-appealable final judgment or court order in favor of the indemnified party with respect to such indemnity or as agreed to by the related parties pursuant to the settlement or otherwise).

Section 6.04            Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer; Termination of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may assign their respective rights and delegate their respective duties and obligations under this Agreement, provided that: (i) the party accepting such assignment and delegation (A) shall be an established mortgage finance institution, bank or mortgage servicing institution, 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 Master Servicer or Special Servicer or a Person resulting from a merger, consolidation or succession that is permitted under Section 6.02 of this Agreement, (B) shall be acceptable to each Rating Agency as confirmed in a No Downgrade Confirmation delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator relating to the Certificates and the Companion Loan Securities, if any, (C) shall execute and deliver 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 Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement, (D) shall not be a Prohibited Party and (E) with respect to the Special Servicer (x) during any Subordinate Control Period, has been appointed by the Directing Holder or (y) during any Subordinate Consultation Period, is reasonably acceptable to the Directing Holder and the Depositor; (ii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation under this Section 6.04; (iii) the rate at which the Servicing Compensation or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect; and (iv) the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall 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 shall be the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder.

(b)          Except as provided in Section 6.02 of this Agreement and this Section 6.04, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not resign from its respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon either (i) the determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) in connection with the assignment of rights and delegation of duties as set forth in Section 6.04(a). Any such determination described in clause (i) above 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, the Certificate Administrator and during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder. In connection with any such resignation, the successor special servicer shall either: (i) during any Subordinate Control Period, be appointed by the Directing Holder in accordance with the first paragraph of Section 7.01(c); or (ii) after termination of any Subordinate Control Period, be appointed by the Trustee and, during any Subordinate Consultation Period, be reasonably acceptable to the Directing Holder, and otherwise satisfy the requirements for a successor special

-246-

servicer set forth in Section 6.04; provided that the Trustee shall have obtained a No Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

(c)           The Trustee shall be permitted to remove the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon a Master Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the succeeding paragraph, no such removal shall be effective unless and until (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has been paid any unpaid Servicing Compensation or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, unreimbursed Advances (including Advance Interest Amounts thereon to which it is entitled) and all other amounts to which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is entitled hereunder to the extent such amounts accrue prior to such effective date and (ii) with respect to a resignation by the Master Servicer, the successor Master Servicer has deposited into the Investment Accounts from which amounts were withdrawn to reimburse the terminated Master Servicer, an amount equal to the amounts so withdrawn, to the extent such amounts would not have been permitted to be withdrawn except pursuant to this paragraph, in which case the successor Master Servicer shall, immediately upon deposit, have the same right of reimbursement or payment as the terminated Master Servicer had immediately prior to its termination without regard to the operation of this paragraph.

No resignation or removal of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as contemplated by the preceding paragraphs shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall have assumed the resigning or terminated Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. 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 treated as Realized Losses.

Section 6.05            Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Solely with respect to their performance of their respective duties under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, 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. Upon written request, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall furnish to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee its most recent publicly available financial statements (or, with respect to the Master Servicer, those of its ultimate parent) and such other non-proprietary information as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion as it possesses, which is relevant to the performance of its duties hereunder and which it is not prohibited by applicable law or contract from disclosing. The Depositor is not obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, however, 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 any rights of such Person 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. In the event the Depositor or its designee

-247-

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(a) hereof to the extent not recoverable from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer (solely with respect to any action or failure to act by the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (solely with respect to any action or failure to act by 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 party 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 be under any obligation to disclose confidential or proprietary information pursuant to this Section.

Section 6.06       The Master Servicer or Special Servicer as Owners of a Certificate. The Master Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer, or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, may become the Holder (or with respect to a Global Certificate, Beneficial Owner) of any Certificate with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder or Beneficial Owner of any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take action (including for this purpose, omitting to take action) that (i) is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, violate the Servicing Standard, and (ii) if taken, might nonetheless, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may, but will not be required to, seek the approval of the Certificateholders to such action (or inaction) by delivering to 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 (or inaction) that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take (or refrain from taking). 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 a majority of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders shall have consented in writing to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, except in the case of unusual circumstances.

Section 6.07          Selection and Removal of the Directing Holder. (a) The Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder, as determined by the Certificate Registrar from time to time, may serve as, or may appoint as representative to serve as, the Directing Holder; provided that if no Certificateholder holds Certificates representing more than 50% of the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance), then the Directing Holder shall be the representative appointed by the

-248-

Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns, and is identified (with contact information) to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator as owning, the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of Certificates of the Controlling Class; and provided, further, (i) upon receipt by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator of notice from the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder or the Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balances of Controlling Class Certificates, as applicable, that a Directing Holder is no longer so designated, (ii) if no representative is appointed as the Directing Holder or (iii) if the Directing Holder is required to have resigned due to becoming a Borrower Related Party, there shall be no Directing Holder until a Directing Holder that is not a Borrower Related Party is appointed. Each Holder of the Certificates of the Controlling Class that is not a Borrower Related Party shall be entitled to vote in each election of the Directing Holder; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Directing Holder cannot be a Borrower Related Party.

(b)          The initial Directing Holder shall provide a written certification to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date certifying that (i) it is not a Borrower Related Party, (ii) it is the Holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance) or, if no Certificateholder holds Certificates representing more than 50% of the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance), then it owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of Certificates of the Controlling Class, (iii) the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator and Trustee may conclusively rely on such certification and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator and Trustee shall have no liability for such reliance and (iv) in the event the then existing Directing Holder is no longer the Holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance) or the owner of the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of Certificates of the Controlling Class, as applicable, the Directing Holder shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and each party to this Agreement in writing that it is no longer the Holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance).

(c)          There will be no initial Directing Holder. The Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder, if any, shall give written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of the appointment of any subsequent Directing Holder (in order to receive notices hereunder).

(d)          The Directing Holder may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the written vote of the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder, and a copy of the results of such vote shall be delivered to each party to this Agreement.

(e)          The 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 Certificate Administrator of the transfer of any Certificate of the Controlling Class, the selection of a Directing Holder or the resignation or removal thereof. Any Certificateholder or its designee at any time appointed Directing Holder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to notify the Certificate Administrator of its identity and contact information when such Certificateholder or its designee is appointed Directing Holder and when it is removed or resigns. Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall

-249-

notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer of the identity and contact information of the Directing Holder and any resignation or removal thereof.

On the Closing Date, the initial Directing Holder shall execute and deliver a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1-C to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Directing Holder, any successor Directing Holder shall also deliver a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1-C to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Directing Holder.

(f)           Once a Directing Holder has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and each other Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder shall have notified each other party to this Agreement and each other Certificateholder of the Controlling Class, in writing, of the resignation of such Directing Holder or the selection of a new Directing Holder (with contact information).

(g)          Until it receives notice to the contrary, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class and the identity and contact information of the Directing Holder.

(h)           The Directing Holder shall be responsible for its own expenses.

(i)           The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee may from time to time request that the Certificate Administrator provide the name of the then-current Directing Holder. Upon such request, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following such request) provide the name of the then-current Directing Holder to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee, as applicable, but only to the extent the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge of the identity of the then-current Directing Holder; provided that if the Certificate Administrator does not have actual knowledge of the identity of the then-current Directing Holder, then (i) the Certificate Administrator shall determine which Class is the Controlling Class and (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following such request) request from the Depository, with the assistance of the Trustee, the list of DTC participants for the Controlling Class and make reasonable efforts to obtain a list of Beneficial Owners from such DTC participants, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide such list of DTC participants and such list of Beneficial Owners (to the extent the Certificate Administrator obtains such list of Beneficial Owners), to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the list of DTC participants for the Controlling Class provided by the Depository and the list of Beneficial Owners provided by any DTC participant and shall not have any liability for such reliance. Any expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such information shall be at the expense of the requesting party; provided that if (i) such expenses arise in connection with an event as to which the Directing Holder has review, consent or consultation rights with respect to an action taken by, or report prepared by, the requesting party pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the requesting party has not been notified of the identity of the Directing

-250-

Holder or reasonably believes that the identity of the Directing Holder has changed, then such expenses shall be at the expense of the Trust. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such information so provided. If the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder does not give written notice to the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of the appointment of any subsequent Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.07(c), and if the identity of the Directing Holder is not provided by the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall have no obligation to consult with, provide notice to or seek approval of such Directing Holder. To the extent the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has written notice of any change in the identity of a Directing Holder or the list of Holders (or Beneficial Owners, if applicable) of the Controlling Class, then the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer thereof, who may rely conclusively on such notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

Section 6.08          Limitation on Liability of Directing Holder; Acknowledgements of the Certificateholders. The Directing Holder will have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or refraining from the taking of any action, in accordance with or as permitted by this Agreement. Each holder of any Certificates shall acknowledge and agree, by its acceptance of its Certificate, that: (i) the Directing Holder and/or any Controlling Class Certificateholder may each have relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates and/or Companion Loan Holders; (ii) the Directing Holder and/or any Controlling Class Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Directing Holder and the Holders of the Controlling Class do not have any duties to the Trust or to the Holders of any Class of Certificates or the Companion Loan Holders; (iv) the Directing Holder and/or any Controlling Class Certificateholder may take actions that favor interests of the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates or the Companion Loan Holders; (v) neither the Directing Holder nor the Holders of the Controlling Class shall have any liability whatsoever to the Trust, the parties to this Agreement, the Certificateholders, the Companion Loan Holders or any other Person (including the Borrowers) for having acted in accordance with or as permitted under the terms of this Agreement; and (vi) the Holders of the Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders may not take any action whatsoever against the Directing Holder or any Holder the Controlling Class or any of the respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, agents or principals thereof as a result of the Directing Holder or the Holders the Controlling Class having acted in accordance with the terms of and as permitted under this Agreement.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in this Section 6.09, (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer (which consent shall be deemed given if the Special Servicer does not object within fifteen (15) Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, ninety (90) days) of receipt of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation together with any information in the possession of the Master Servicer that is reasonably required to make a decision regarding the subject action), and (ii) during any Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master

Servicer’s taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision, nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision, as to which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) days) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis from the Special Servicer (the “Major Decision Reporting Package”), together with any information in the possession of the Special Servicer that is reasonably requested by the Directing Holder to make a decision regarding the subject action (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) day) period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have approved such action); provided that if the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control Period, or any other matter requiring consultation with the Operating Advisor, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer’s) response; provided, further, that the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, has used reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to contact the Directing Holder prior to taking such action; provided, further, that the Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Directing Holder for any of the foregoing actions during any Subordinate Consultation Period; provided, further, that the Special Servicer will be required to consult, solely on a non-binding basis (and to consider alternative actions recommended by each such party) during any Subordinate Consultation Period, with the Directing Holder with respect to any of the Major Decisions and any other matter as to which consent of the Directing Holder, if any, would have been required during any Subordinate Control Period; provided, further, that for so long as there is no Directing Holder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any Directing Holder, it being acknowledged that the initial Directing Holder is set forth in Section 6.07(c) hereof.

With respect to any action requiring the consent of, or consultation with, the Directing Holder under this Agreement, such consent shall be deemed given or consultation deemed waived if the Directing Holder does not respond within 10 Business Days unless otherwise specified.

If no Directing Holder 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 Trustee or Certificate Administrator, and no such entity has been identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then 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 Holder, it being acknowledged that the initial Directing Holder is set forth in Section 6.07(c) hereof.

In addition, during any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder, if any, may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Whole Loan as the Directing Holder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction, and no

-252-

direction or objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, may (a) require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of the Loan Documents, any intercreditor agreement, applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (b) expose any Certificateholder, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust or their affiliates, officers, directors or agent to any claim, suit or liability, (c) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust or (d) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder. Furthermore, in addition to the Directing Holder’s rights of consent and consultation (as applicable) as set forth in Section 6.09(a) above, it is understood and agreed that to the extent any other provision of this Agreement requires the provision of notice to, the obtaining of consent of, and/or consultation with, the Directing Holder, or otherwise provides for any right of the Directing Holder thereunder, then none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be entitled to take any action (or omit to take any action) in contravention of the applicable rights of the Directing Holder contained in such provision; provided however, if the Directing Holder has not objected to any request for consent within ten (10) Business Days, such consent shall be deemed given; provided, further, that this sentence is not intended to in any way to (i) expand the rights of the Directing Holder, (ii) limit the application of the immediately preceding sentence, (iii) remove any limitations on the exercise of such rights set forth in such other provisions, or (iv) require the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer to send a notice to, obtain the consent of, or consult with a new Directing Holder whose name and contact information have not yet been provided to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer; and provided, further, that if such other provisions are in any way subject to this Section 6.09, then the exercise of such rights shall be subject to the immediately following paragraph and Section 6.09(b).

If the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Holder or any direction or advice from the Directing Holder or any recommendation by the Operating Advisor would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the Loan Documents, any intercreditor agreement, applicable law, provisions of the Code or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent, direction or advice and notify the Directing Holder, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Holder that does not violate the Loan Documents, any intercreditor agreement, any applicable law, provisions of the Code or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, shall not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

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. 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

-253-

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 Period is in effect, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor (telephonically or electronically) in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and such other matters that are subject to consultation rights of the Operating Advisor 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 ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) its written request for input on any required consultation (which such written request shall contain a Major Decision Reporting Package) and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Special Servicer 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 Trust Loan.

(b)        At any time other than during a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder shall have no consultation rights under this Agreement and shall have no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Holder; provided that the Directing Holder (if and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) will maintain the right to exercise its Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder under this Agreement.

(c)       If no Directing Holder has been appointed or identified to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, and no such entity has been identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then 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 Holder.

Section 6.10            Directing Holder and Operating Advisor Contact with Master Servicer and Special Servicer. Upon reasonable request, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a Servicing Officer available to answer questions from the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period) and the Operating Advisor (during any Operating Advisor Consultation Period) regarding the performance and servicing of the Trust Loan (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer’s operational activities on a platform level basis related to the servicing of the Specially Serviced Loan and the servicing of any REO Property) for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.

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 if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in its reasonable and good faith

-254-

judgment and consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such disclosure would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or the Trust Fund or otherwise materially harm the Trust or the Trust Fund.

Section 6.11            The Operating Advisor.

(a)           The Operating Advisor shall, as provided in this Agreement, review (i) the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan and, any Major Decisions with respect to the Whole Loan when it is not a Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which a Major Decision Reporting Package has been delivered to the Operating Advisor, (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 (during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period) 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.

(b)          Subject to the Privileged Information Exception, the Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” received from the Special Servicer or Directing 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 6.11(h) 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.

With respect to the determination of whether a Subordinate Control Period, Operating Advisor Consultation Period or Subordinate Consultation Period is in effect, or has terminated, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor are each entitled to rely solely on its receipt from the Certificate Administrator of notice thereof or any notice posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to this Agreement, and, with respect to any obligations of the Operating Advisor, Master Servicer or Special Servicer that are performed only during a Subordinate Control Period, Operating Advisor Consultation Period and/or Subordinate Consultation Period, the Operating Advisor, Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall have no obligation to perform any such duties until the receipt of such notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Subordinate Control Period, Operating Advisor Consultation Period or Subordinate Consultation Period, as applicable.

(c)         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 Final Asset Status Report and reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year that are relevant to the Operating Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement, the Operating Advisor shall ((A) if the Whole Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan at any time during the prior calendar year or (B) if an

-255-

Operating Advisor Consultation Period was in effect during the prior calendar year and the Whole Loan was the subject of a Major Decision) deliver to the Depositor, 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 pursuant to Section 3.14(d)) 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 S (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 the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan (and, during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period, with respect to Major Decisions on the Whole Loan even if it is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) during the prior calendar year on 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 the Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property and, during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period, the Whole Loan even if it is not a Specially Serviced Loan (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. 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 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 the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan; (ii) the Operating Advisor is entitled to consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any Major Decision; or (iii) the Operating Advisor does not receive a Final Asset Status Report for the Whole Loan if it was a Specially Serviced Loan for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days following the Whole Loan becoming a Specially Serviced Loan. 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 pursuant to Section 4.02) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d)); 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.

-256-

(d)          The Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be prepared on the basis of the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan (and, during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period, with respect to Major Decisions on the Whole Loan even if it is not a Specially Serviced Loan) 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 Holder 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.

(e)         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.

(f)           With respect to the Whole Loan, after the subject calculation but prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(h) used in the Special Servicer’s determination of the course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of the Whole Loan if it is a 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 communications between the Directing Holder and the Special Servicer that would be 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 five (5) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, promptly recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion(s) of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.

In connection with this Section 6.11(f), if the Operating Advisor does not agree in any material respect with the mathematical calculations or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portion(s) 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 material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portion(s)

-257-

of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within seven (7) 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 seven (7) 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).

(g)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless an Operating Advisor Consultation Period is in effect, the Operating Advisor shall have no specific involvement with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, workouts, modifications, consents, waivers, insurance policies, borrower substitutions, lease changes, additional borrower debt, defeasances, property management changes, releases from escrow, assumptions and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement. In addition, with respect to the Operating Advisor’s review of net present value calculations as required in Section 6.11(f) above, the Operating Advisor’s recalculation shall not take into account the reasonableness of the Special Servicer’s property and borrower performance assumptions or other similar discretionary portions of the net present value calculation.

(h)      The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” confidential and without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and the Directing Holder (during a Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period) shall not disclose such information to any other Person (including any Certificateholders other than the Directing Holder), other than (i) to the extent expressly set forth herein, 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 or the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement (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, without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (for so long as a Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period is in effect) the Directing Holder, 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.

(i)           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 4.02(c).

-258-

(j)           As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee on each Servicer Remittance Date. 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 outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Trust Loan, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on the Trust Loan is computed. The Operating Advisor Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement.

(k)          The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 6.03(a) hereof, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.06(a). Each successor operating advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.

(l)           In addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Asset Status Report or 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 3.06(a) of this Agreement, but only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the Borrowers. When the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to an Asset Status Report or 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 Borrowers in connection with such an Asset Status Report or Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related 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 Borrowers 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.

(m)         Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Principal Balance Certificates representing at least 15% of the Voting Rights allocable to Non-Reduced Certificates requesting a vote to terminate and 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 No Downgrade Confirmation, 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 4.02, 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 Principal Balance Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocable to the Non-Reduced Certificates that exercise their right to vote, provided that the holders of Principal Balance Certificates representing at least 50% of the Voting Rights allocable to the Non-Reduced Certificates have exercised their

-259-

right to vote, the Trustee shall immediately replace the Operating Advisor with the replacement Operating Advisor.

(n)          After the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator will be required to notify the Certificateholders, and 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 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 (x) the occurrence of any Operating Advisor Termination Event or (y) any termination of the Operating Advisor and 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, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), the Depositor, the Directing Holder and the Certificateholders. 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.

(o)          The holders of Certificates 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.

(p)          The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Holder, if applicable, if the Operating Advisor has secured a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and such replacement operating advisor has accepted its appointment as the replacement operating advisor. 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

-260-

Advisor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all reasonable 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 6.11(p).

(q)          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 6.11(k) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification provided hereunder.

(r)          The parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their respective Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed, that (i) subject to Section 6.03, 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 or any third party, and (iv) the Operating Advisor does not constitute an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

(s)          Neither the Operating Advisor nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates.

(t)          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 6.11. 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 any such 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.

(u)          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, any experience or knowledge gained by the Operating Advisor from such other engagements may not be imputed to the Operating Advisor for this transaction; provided, however, the Operating Advisor may consider such experience or knowledge as pertinent information for discussion with the Special Servicer during its periodic meetings.

(ii)              any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of its other covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days (15 days in the case of the Master Servicer’s failure to make a Property Advance or 45 days in the case of failure to pay the premium for any insurance policy required to be force placed by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or in any event such reasonable shorter period of time as is necessary to avoid the commencement of foreclosure proceedings for any lien relating to unpaid real estate taxes or assessments or a lapse in any required insurance coverage) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by any other party hereto, or to the Master Servicer, with a copy to each other party to this Agreement, by (A) the Certificateholders of any Class evidencing, as to that Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Voting Rights or (B) an affected Companion Loan Holder; provided, however, that if such failure is capable of being cured and the Master Servicer is diligently pursuing such cure, such 15-, 30- or 45-day period, as applicable, will be extended an additional 30 days;

(iii)             any breach on the part of the Master Servicer of any representation or warranty contained in Section 2.04(a) of this Agreement, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates or any Companion Loan Holder and which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which

-262-

notice of such breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by any party hereto, or to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to that Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of such Class or by an affected Companion Loan Holder; provided that if such breach is capable of being cured and the Master Servicer is diligently pursuing such cure, such 30-day period will be extended an additional 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, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged, undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

(v)             the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property;

(vi)             the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or take any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing;

(vii)            the Master Servicer is no longer rated at least “CMS3” by Fitch and such Master Servicer is not reinstated to at least that rating within 60 days of the delisting;

(viii)           (A) the Master Servicer has failed to maintain a ranking by DBRS Morningstar equal to or higher than “MOR CS3” as a master servicer and such ranking is not reinstated within 60 days of such event (if the Master Servicer has or had a DBRS Morningstar ranking on or after the Closing Date) or (B) DBRS Morningstar (i) has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its ratings of any Class of Certificates, or (ii) has placed any Class of Certificates on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal (and such “watch status” placement, qualification, downgrade or withdrawal has not been withdrawn by DBRS Morningstar within sixty (60) days) and, in the case of either of clauses (i) or (ii), publicly cited servicing concerns with the Master Servicer, as the sole or material factor in such action;

(ix)             a Companion Loan Rating Agency has (A) qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more classes of Companion Loan Securities, or (B) placed one or more classes of Companion Loan Securities on “watch status” in contemplation of rating downgrade or withdrawal and, in the case of either of clauses (A) or (B), publicly citing servicing concerns with the Master Servicer as the sole or material

-263-

factor in such rating action (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status” placement has not been withdrawn by such Companion Loan Rating Agency within 60 days of such event); or

(x)              so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Master Servicer or any primary servicer, Sub-Servicer or Servicing Function Participant (such entity, the “Sub-Servicing Entity”) retained by the Master Servicer shall fail to deliver the items required to be delivered by this Agreement to enable such Other Securitization Trust to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act within the time set forth for such delivery in Article XI, (any Sub-Servicing Entity 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 Master Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates (allocated based on Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts, as applicable, as notionally reduced by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocable to the Trust Loan), the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer (other than the rights to indemnification provided in Section 6.03 of this Agreement and compensation provided in Section 3.12 of this Agreement).

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, then the Master Servicer shall also be terminated as Special Servicer.

If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under this Section 7.01(a) solely due to a Master Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(vii), (viii) or (ix) of this Agreement and if the Master Servicer 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 serve as Master Servicer hereunder until a successor Master Servicer is selected in accordance with this Section 7.01(a). Upon receipt of the “request for proposal” materials, the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the Master Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to service the Whole Loan under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.02 and 7.02 of this Agreement (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, at the Trustee’s request, 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 Whole Loan under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within 45 days after the notice of termination of the Master Servicer. The materials provided to the Trustee shall provide for soliciting bids: (i) on the basis of such successor Master Servicer retaining all Sub-Servicers to continue the primary servicing of the Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the respective Sub-Servicing Agreements and entering into

-264-

a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer to service the Whole Loan at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to 0.00125% (a “Servicing Retained Bid”); and (ii) on the basis of the terminated Master Servicer not being retained as a Sub-Servicer (each, a “Servicing Released Bid”). The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing Released Bid) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that if the Trustee does not receive a No Downgrade Confirmation 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 No Downgrade Confirmation is obtained. The Trustee shall direct 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; provided, however, that the initial Master Servicer may request and obtain an additional 20 days for such sale and assumption to be completed so long as the initial Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the sale and assumption of the right to service the Whole Loan cannot be completed in the initial 45-day period and specifying the reasons therefor.

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 (i) if the successful bid was a Servicing Retained Bid, to the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(a), 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) and (ii) if the successful bid was a Servicing Released Bid, to the Master Servicer and each terminated Sub-Servicer its respective bid allocation.

The Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(a) shall be responsible for all out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the attempt to sell its rights to service the Whole Loan, 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(a) of this Agreement shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out of pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under this Section 7.01(a). The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02 of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, if the Master Servicer shall timely deliver the notice and request for proposal materials referred to in the fourth preceding paragraph, no resignation or termination of the Master Servicer shall be effective in connection with a Master Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(vii) of this Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall continue to perform as such and to collect the Servicing Fee until the conclusion of the process described in this Section 7.01(a).

In no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have knowledge of or be aware of any Master Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer

-265-

of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.

(iii)             any breach on the part of the Special Servicer of any representation or warranty contained in Section 2.04(a) of this Agreement, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates or any Companion Loan Holder and which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which notice of such breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Special Servicer by any party hereto, or to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to that Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of such Class or by an affected Companion Loan Holder; provided that if such breach is capable of being cured and the Special Servicer is diligently pursuing such cure, such 30-day period will be extended an additional 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

(vi)            the Special Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or take any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing;

(vii)           the Special Servicer is no longer rated at least “CSS3” by Fitch and such Special Servicer is not reinstated to at least that rating within 60 days of the delisting;

(viii)          (A) the Special Servicer has failed to maintain a ranking by DBRS Morningstar equal to or higher than “MOR CS3” as a special servicer and such ranking is not reinstated within 60 days of such event (if the Special Servicer has or had a DBRS Morningstar ranking on or after the Closing Date) or (B) DBRS Morningstar (i) has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its ratings of any Class of Certificates, or (ii) has placed any Class of Certificates on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal (and such “watch status” placement, qualification, downgrade or withdrawal has not been withdrawn by DBRS Morningstar within sixty (60) days) and, in the case of either of clauses (i) or (ii), publicly cited servicing concerns with the Special Servicer, as the case may be, as the sole or material factor in such action;

(ix)             a Companion Loan Rating Agency has (A) qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more classes of Companion Loan Securities, or (B) placed one or more classes of Companion Loan Securities on “watch status” in contemplation of rating downgrade or withdrawal and, in the case of either of clauses (A) or (B), publicly citing servicing concerns with the Special Servicer, as the sole or material factor in such rating action (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status” placement has not been withdrawn by such Companion Loan Rating Agency within 60 days of such event); or

-267-

accordance with this Section 7.01(b)(x) shall be terminated at the direction of the Depositor);

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Special Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates (allocated based on Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, as notionally reduced by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocable to the Trust Loan), the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer (other than the rights to indemnification provided in Section 6.03(a) of this Agreement and compensation provided in Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement). During any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder shall have the right to select the successor special servicer following any Special Servicer Termination Event.

In no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have knowledge of or be aware of any Special Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.

Notwithstanding Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(b), (i) if any Master Servicer Termination Event occurs that affects only a Companion Loan or if an NRSRO engaged to rate a Companion Loan Security qualifies, downgrades or withdraws its rating of such Companion Loan Security, publicly citing servicing concerns with the Master Servicer as the sole or a material factor in such rating action, then the Trustee, only at the direction of a related Companion Loan Holder and not at the direction of the Certificateholders, shall direct the Master Servicer to appoint a sub-servicer (or if the Whole Loan is currently being sub-serviced, then the Trustee shall direct the Master Servicer to replace such sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer but only if such original sub-servicer is in default (beyond any applicable cure periods) under the related sub-servicing agreement, and the Master Servicer shall be permitted to terminate the sub-servicing agreement due to such default) that shall be responsible for servicing the Whole Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall be required to obtain a No Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency (including a No Downgrade Confirmation with respect to any Companion Loan Securities) (at the expense of the requesting party) with respect to the appointment of such sub-servicer and (ii) if any Special Servicer Termination Event occurs that affects only the Companion Loan and the Special Servicer is not otherwise terminated or if an NRSRO engaged to rate a Companion Loan Security qualifies, downgrades or withdraws its rating of such Companion Loan Security, publicly citing servicing concerns with the Special Servicer as the sole or a material factor in such rating action, then the Trustee, at the direction of an affected Companion Loan Holder, shall terminate the Special Servicer. Any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer that was terminated for cause at such Companion Loan Holder’s direction shall not be the Person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of such Companion Loan Holder.

(c)           During any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder, if any, shall have the right to direct the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer (subject to such terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination) at any time, with or without cause, and the Directing

-268-

Holder shall have the right to, and shall, appoint a successor Special Servicer, which shall execute and deliver to the other parties hereto an agreement whereby the successor Special Servicer agrees to assume and perform punctually the duties of the Special Servicer specified in this Agreement; provided that the Trustee shall have been provided a No Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency prior to the termination of the Special Servicer; provided, further, that any successor Special Servicer shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall not be terminated pursuant to this paragraph until a successor special servicer shall have been appointed. The Directing Holder shall pay any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the removal and appointment of a Special Servicer without cause pursuant to this paragraph (unless such removal is based on any of the events or circumstances set forth in Section 7.01(b)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no successor special servicer appointed by the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.04, Section 7.01(b) or this Section 7.01(c) or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement will be required to meet any net worth requirements. The Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator a written notice, together with each No Downgrade Confirmation, stating that the Directing Holder has appointed a successor Special Servicer.

(d)          After the termination of a Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer may be terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.22(b) hereof.

(e)         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 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, substantially in the form of Exhibit T attached hereto, setting forth the reasons supporting its position (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 recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) to assume the duties of such 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 4.02, 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 representing a majority of the aggregate outstanding Certificate Balance of all Principal Balance Certificates whose holders voted on the matter, provided that the Principal Balance Certificates holders that so voted on the matter (x) hold Principal Balance Certificates representing at least 20% of the outstanding Certificate Balance of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis within one hundred eighty (180) days of posting of the Operating Advisor’s recommendation to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (y) include at least three (3) Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners that are not Credit Risk Retention Affiliated with each other and (ii) delivery of written notice to the Rating Agency by the Certificate Administrator

-269-

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 written notices to the Rating Agency 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 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. The Certificateholders that initiated the vote to replace the Special Servicer shall pay the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the removal and replacement of the Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.

In the event the Special Servicer is terminated as a result of the recommendation of the Operating Advisor described in this Section 7.1(e), the Directing Holder may not subsequently reappoint as Special Servicer such terminated Special Servicer or any Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of such terminated Special Servicer

(f)           If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Trustee (the “Terminating Party”) 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 Whole Loan and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Terminated Party 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 of this Agreement notwithstanding any such termination), and with respect to the Special Servicer, the right to receive any Workout Fee and/or Liquidation Fee subsequent to its termination as Special Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement. No successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to such Workout Fee and/or Liquidation Fee received by the terminated Special Servicer. 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), the Whole Loan or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Terminating Party pursuant to and under this Section (absent the appointment of a successor, and such successor’s assumption of obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, by the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control Period) and, without limitation, the Terminating Party 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 Whole Loan and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the

-270-

Special Servicer each agree 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 Terminating Party with all documents and records requested by the Terminating Party to enable the Terminating Party to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Terminating Party and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer or the Terminating Party, 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 REO Account, Lock-Box Account or Cash Collateral Account or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Whole Loan, and shall promptly provide the Terminating Party or such successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer (which may include the Trustee) all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Terminating Party or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall reasonably request (including electronic form), to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s function hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses of the Terminating Party (including the cost of obtaining a No Downgrade Confirmation and any applicable indemnification that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would be required to provide under this Agreement) or the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage Files to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or (b), as applicable, 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 Terminating Party or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, 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. If and to the extent that the Terminated Party has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the Terminating Party shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust Fund. Neither the Operating Advisor nor any of its affiliates may be appointed as a successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer.

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 of this Agreement, the Terminating Party (subject to (a)) shall be its successor, until such successor is appointed in accordance with this Section, in all respects in its capacity as the Master Servicer or the 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 Terminating Party 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 monies shall not be considered a termination event for such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided to the Master Servicer

-271-

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 the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. The Terminating Party shall not be liable for any of the representations and 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 hereunder nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase the Trust Loan or the Companion Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Terminating Party as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Compensation or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, and all funds relating to the Trust Loan or Companion Loan that accrue after the date of the Terminating Party’s succession to which such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled if such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, had continued to act hereunder. In the event any Advances made by the Master Servicer or 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, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall (i) if it is unable to so act, (ii) if the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders or an affected Companion Loan Holder so requests in writing to the Trustee or (iii) if the Trustee is not an “approved” servicer by any of the Rating Agencies for mortgage loans similar to the one held in the Trust, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution that to act as the successor to the Master Servicer or 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 under this Agreement; provided that the Trustee shall obtain a No Downgrade Confirmation with respect to the Certificates and any Companion Loan Securities. No appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Terminated Party’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer is also the Master Servicer) hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. Pending the appointment of a successor to the Special Servicer, the Trustee shall act in such capacity. Any appointment or succession by the Trustee to the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder shall be subject to the Directing Holder’s right to replace the Special Servicer during any Subordinate Control Period. 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 Whole Loan or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to 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. 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.

-272-

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 as successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer, it may reduce the Master Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that its or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02, it may reduce the Master Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.02.

Section 7.03          Notification to Certificateholders and Other Persons. (a) Upon its receipt of written notice of 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, the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement).

(b)          Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (who shall then notify all Holders of Certificates) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) and the Companion Loan Holders 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 the Servicer Termination Event, shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01 of this Agreement, 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 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 Trust Fund as provided in Section 3.06 of this Agreement (and such amounts shall be allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement). 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 Master Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, if applicable.

Section 7.05            Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events; Termination. The Certificateholders evidencing not less than 66-⅔% of the aggregate Voting Rights may, together with each affected Companion Loan Holder, on behalf of all Holders of Certificates, waive any Servicer Termination Event by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except (i) a termination event with respect to

-273-

making any required deposits to or payments from the Collection Account or the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, and (ii) the Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(x) and Section 7.01(b)(x), which may only be waived by the Depositor (and the Other Depositor under an Other Securitization Trust) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past termination event, such termination event shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other termination event or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.06          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 Business Days of the Master Servicer Termination Event resulting from such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Property Advances to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Property Advances and (y) by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I Advances and Administrative Advances pursuant to the Trustee’s receipt of notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.07(a) or Section 4.07(c) of this Agreement unless the Trustee has received notice that such failure has been cured by 11:00 a.m. on such Distribution Date. 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 Advance Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to perform 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 or any determination of recoverability in connection therewith by the Master Servicer 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 upon the occurrence of which the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may be required to act, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of such failure.

-276-

such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor under this Agreement, except, in the case of the Trustee, 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.

The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (in the case of the Trustee only), the Trustee (in the case of the Certificate Administrator only), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (in the case of the Trustee only), the Trustee (in the case of the Certificate Administrator only), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in respect of the assignment of the Trust Loan or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Lock-Box Account, the Cash Collateral Account, the Reserve Accounts, any REO Account or any other account maintained by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, other than any funds held by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor Master Servicer) or to record this Agreement. In making any calculation hereunder which includes as a component thereof the payment or distribution of interest for a stated period at a stated rate “to the extent permitted by applicable law”, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall assume that such payment is so permitted unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, has actual knowledge, or receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person asserting the impermissibility) to the effect, that such payment is not permitted by applicable law. The Depositor is not obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement or otherwise.

(a) On each Distribution Date, prior to the distribution of amounts to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to withdraw and pay the Trustee and itself its respective portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee, as applicable, as reasonable compensation from amounts remitted to the Lower-Tier Distribution Account (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator at the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee Rate.

(b)          In the event that the Trustee assumes the servicing responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder pursuant to or otherwise arising from the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to the compensation to which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would have been entitled (other than the rights of the Special Servicer to receive any Workout Fee specified in Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement in the event that the Special Servicer is terminated).

(c)         The Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall be paid or reimbursed by the Trust Fund upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator pursuant to and in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ), which the Certificate Administrator will be entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Accounts prior to the distribution to Certificateholders to the extent set forth herein and to the extent such payments are “unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(iii), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; provided, however, that, subject to the last paragraph of Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(iii) of this Agreement, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall not refuse to perform any of their respective duties hereunder solely as a result of the failure to be paid their respective portions of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee, or the Trustee’s previously-incurred expenses or, the Custodian’s or Certificate Administrator’s previously-incurred expenses, as applicable.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee hereunder to all Holders of

-287-

Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

(b)       Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Agreement shall satisfy the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.06 hereof.

Section 8.09    Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Certificate Administrator. Any corporation into which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 of this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

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 or 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 approved by the Trustee to act (at the expense of the Trust) 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 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.

-288-

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.

No Trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; provided that 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. 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 by 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.

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.

The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to this subsection (c).

Any such party effecting an early termination as described in this Section 9.01(c) may be an affiliate of a Trust Loan Seller.

(d)       If the Trust Fund has not been previously terminated pursuant to subsection (c) 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 Trust Loan previously provided to it, that the final distribution will be made (i) to the Holders of outstanding Principal Balance Certificates, notwithstanding that such distribution may be insufficient to distribute in full the Certificate Balance of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates, together with amounts required to be distributed on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement and (ii) if no such Classes of Principal Balance Certificates are then outstanding, the final distribution shall be made (i) to the Holders of the Class LR Certificates of any amount remaining in the Collection Account or the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, and (ii) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates of any amount remaining in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account.

(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 with a copy to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trust Loan Sellers, the Companion Loan Holders and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) at their addresses shown in the Certificate Registrar not more than 30 days, and not less than ten (10) days, prior to the Anticipated Final Termination Date. The notice mailed by the Certificate Administrator to affected Certificateholders shall:

(i)          specify the Anticipated Final Termination Date on which the final distribution is anticipated to be made to Holders of Certificates of the Classes specified therein;

-292-

(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 Final 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 (6) 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 (1) year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two (2) years after the second notice any 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, subject to applicable law, to the Residual Certificateholders. 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.

(g)       The Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Regular Certificates, for the Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable, 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 Sole Certificateholder compensates the Certificate Administrator for the amount of investment income the Certificate Administrator would have earned if the outstanding Certificate Balance of the then outstanding Principal Balance Certificates were on deposit with the Certificate Administrator as of the first day of the current calendar month and such Sole Certificateholder pays to the Master Servicer as additional compensation 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 Sole Certificateholder elects to exchange all of its Certificates for the Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable, remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder, not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing

-293-

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 an escrow account acceptable to the respective parties hereto, pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Accounts pursuant to Section 3.06(f) and Section 3.06(g) of this Agreement, but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on or Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement. Upon confirmation from the Certificate Administrator that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class R and Class LR Certificates) on the final Distribution Date to the Certificate Administrator, 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 File for the Trust Loan or shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund shall be liquidated in accordance with this Article IX. The Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable, is deemed distributed to the Sole Certificateholder in liquidation of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Article IX. 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 (a) if the Trust Loan is a Performing Loan, the remaining Certificate Balance of its Certificates (other than the Class R and Class LR Certificates), plus accrued, unpaid interest with respect thereto, or (b) if the Trust Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or has been converted to REO Property, the fair market value thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributable in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and such Certificates.

(h)       The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, via e-mail, upon the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01.

This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the prior written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-⅔% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the

-304-

Depositor’s Affiliates and/or agents or the Trust Loan Sellers) and any Companion Loan Holder affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment may:

(i)        reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Whole Loan which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby or which are required to be distributed to the Companion Loan Holders without the consent of the Companion Loan Holders;

(ii)       alter the Servicing Standard or obligations of the Master Servicer or the Trustee to make a P&I Advance, Administrative Advance or a Property Advance, without the consent of the Holders of the Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of each Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby);

(iii)     change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Holders of Certificates which are required to consent to any action or inaction under this Agreement without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of each Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby); or

(iv)      amend any section hereof which relates to the amendment of this Agreement without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of each Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby).

Further, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, may amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary: (i) to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holder or (ii) to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

In the event that neither the Depositor nor any successor thereto, if any, is in existence, any amendment under this Section 10.08 shall be effective with the consent of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, in writing, and to the extent required by this Section 10.08, the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders.

-305-

Servicer and the Special Servicer, and the Certificate Administrator shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement).

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 10.08 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The method of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe; provided, however, that such method shall always be by affirmation and in writing.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement unless the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment (or, if such amendment is required by any Rating Agency to maintain the rating issued by it or requested by the Trustee for any purpose described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of first sentence of this Section, then at the expense of the Trust Fund) confirming that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent with respect thereto have been satisfied, respectively, hereunder and such amendment will not cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or affect the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, the Grantor Trust or either Trust REMIC.

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer may request and shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment (or, if such amendment is required by any Rating Agency to maintain the rating issued by it or requested by the Trustee for any purpose described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 10.08 (which do not modify or otherwise relate solely to the obligations, duties or rights of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator), then at the expense of the Trust Fund) stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent with respect thereto have been satisfied. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Operating Advisor’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement (i) that adversely affects the rights, including (without limitation) as a third-party beneficiary hereunder, and/or obligations of the Trust Loan Sellers (including, without limitation, under any Trust Loan Purchase Agreement) or the Initial Purchasers without the consent of the Trust Loan Sellers or the Initial Purchasers, as applicable or (ii) that adversely affects the rights, including (without limitation) as a third-party beneficiary hereunder, and/or obligations of any Companion Loan Holder without the consent of such Companion Loan Holder.

-306-

Promptly after the execution 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 which shall post a copy of the same on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement, and thereafter, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the Operating Advisor, the Companion Loan Holders, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, and the Initial Purchasers.

Section 10.09 Confirmation of Intent. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund (including the Trust Loan) by the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders as contemplated by this Agreement and the sale by the Depositor of the Certificates be, and be treated for all purposes as, a sale by the Depositor of the undivided portion of the beneficial interest in the Trust Fund represented by the Certificates. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Trust Fund is held to continue to be property of the Depositor then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement under applicable law; (b) the transfer of the Trust Fund provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders of a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund and all amounts payable to the holders of the Trust Loan in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, without limitation, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account and any REO Account whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) of Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Depositor shall, and upon the request and direction of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement (and at the expense of the Trust Fund), take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Trust Loan, 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 this Agreement. It is the intent of the parties that such a security interest would be effective whether any of the Certificates are sold, pledged or assigned.

Section 10.10 No Intended Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as specified in Section 10.12 of this Agreement, no Person other than a party to this Agreement, the Trust Loan Sellers, the Initial Purchasers or any Certificateholder shall have any rights with respect to the enforcement of any of the rights or obligations hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the

-307-

parties to this Agreement specifically state that no Borrower, Manager or other party to the Trust Loan is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Section 10.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Co-Lender Agreement, contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understanding, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof. The express terms hereof control and supersedes any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

Section 10.12   Third Party Beneficiaries. Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer acknowledge that (i) each Trust Loan Seller and each Initial Purchaser is a third party beneficiary with respect to Section 8.05(h) of this Agreement, the obligations of any such party to deliver information to the 17g-5 Information Provider hereunder and the obligations of the 17g-5 Information Provider to post information to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website and the express obligations of any party hereto to deliver documents, notices, information or funds to each of the Trust Loan Seller, (ii) each Trust Loan Seller is a third party beneficiary in respect of the rights afforded it under this Agreement and may directly enforce such rights, (iii) each Initial Purchaser is a third party beneficiary with respect to its rights to receive any notices, documents, certifications and/or information hereunder and its rights under Section 10.08 of this Agreement, (iv) each holder of a Companion Loan and any related Other Depositor is an intended third party beneficiary in respect of the rights afforded it under this Agreement and may directly (or, in the case of the holder of a Companion Loan, the related Other Servicer may) enforce such rights, and (v) each of the Companion Loan Service Providers under an applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement is an intended third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to any provision herein expressly relating to compensation, reimbursement or indemnification of such Companion Loan Service Provider and the provisions regarding the coordination of Advances.

(d)       In the event the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or, for so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such party shall provide, and each such party shall cause (or, if the Servicing Function Participant is a Sub-Servicer set forth on Exhibit AA, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to provide (and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall, with respect to any Servicing Function Participant that resigns or is terminated under any applicable servicing agreement, cause such Servicing Function Participant to provide) an annual assessment of compliance pursuant to this Section 11.08, coupled with an attestation as required in Section 11.09 in respect of the period of time that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or, for so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian was subject to this Agreement or the period of time that the Servicing Function Participant was subject to such other servicing agreement.

Section 11.09  Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report. On or before March 1 of each year, commencing in 2022, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, for so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian, each at its own expense, shall cause (and each such party, (i) with respect to each Servicing Function Participant that is a Sub-Servicer set forth on Exhibit AA with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Whole Loan, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Servicing Function Participant to cause, and (ii) with respect to any other Servicing Function Participant of such party (other than any party to this Agreement), shall cause such Servicing Function Participant to cause) a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian or the applicable Servicing Function Participant, as the case may be) and that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to the Certificate Administrator (who shall post it to the Certificate Administrator’s Website), to the Operating Advisor (with respect to the Special Servicer only), the Depositor, the Companion Loan Holders (or, in the case of a Companion Loan that is part of an Other Securitization Trust, the applicable Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from the management of such Reporting Servicer, which includes an assessment from such Reporting Servicer of its compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such Reporting Servicer’s assessment

-315-

of compliance with the Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Each accountant’s attestation report required hereunder shall be made in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Act and the Exchange Act. Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use language. Copies of all statements delivered pursuant to this Section 11.09 shall be made available to any Privileged Person by the Certificate Administrator posting such statement on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required to deliver an annual independent public accountants’ servicing report with respect to any period during which there was no Relevant Servicing Criteria applicable to it.

For so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, promptly after receipt of such report from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian or any Servicing Function Participant, the Depositor and each Other Depositor may review the report and, if applicable, consult with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or, for so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Certificate Administrator as to the nature of any defaults by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian or any Servicing Function Participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Trust Loan or the Companion Loan, as the case may be, in the fulfillment of any of the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s or the applicable Servicing Function Participants’ obligations hereunder or under the applicable sub-servicing agreement.

Section 11.10  Significant Obligor. With respect to a Companion Loan that an applicable Other Depositor has notified the Master Servicer in writing that any Mortgaged Property is a “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) with respect to an Other Securitization Trust that includes such Companion Loan and of the distribution date in such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall, solely to the extent the Master Servicer is in receipt of the updated financial statements of such “significant obligor” for any calendar quarter (other than the fourth calendar quarter of any calendar year) (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 with the first calendar year following receipt of such notice from the Other Depositor), as applicable, from the Borrowers or the Special Servicer, as applicable, deliver to the Other Certificate Administrator on or prior to the day that occurs two Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or seven Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, (A) if such financial statement receipt occurs 12 or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or 17 or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, such 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 the CREFC^® guidelines and (B) if such financial statement receipt occurs less than 12 Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or less than 17 Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as

-316-

applicable, such financial statements of such “significant obligor”, together with the net operating income for the applicable period as reported by the Borrowers in such financial statements.

If the Master Servicer does not receive 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 Business Days after the date such financial information is required to be delivered under the Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall notify the Other Depositor with respect to such Other Securitization Trust that includes such related Companion Loan (and shall cause each applicable sub-servicing agreement to require any related Sub-Servicer to notify such Other Depositor) that it has not received them. The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (taking into account, in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of such Other Depositor under the Exchange Act) to obtain the periodic financial statements of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents.

The Master Servicer shall (and shall cause each applicable sub-servicing agreement to require any related Sub-Servicer to) retain written evidence of each instance in which it (or a Sub-Servicer) attempts to contact the Borrowers 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 Trust, 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 Trust. This Officer’s Certificate should be addressed to the certificate administrator at its corporate trust office, as specified in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 11.11  Sarbanes-Oxley Backup Certification. For so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide (and with respect to any other Servicing Function Participant of such party, shall cause such Servicing Function Participant to provide) to the Person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification with respect to such Other Securitization Trust (the “Certifying Person”) no later than March 15 of the year following the year to which the Form 10-K of such Other Securitization Trust relates or, if March 15 is not a Business Day, on the immediately following Business Day, a certification in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit BB, on which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person, “Certification Parties”) can reasonably rely. In the event any Reporting Servicer is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable sub-servicing agreement or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be, such Reporting Servicer shall provide a certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 11.11 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or the applicable sub-servicing or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required to deliver such certification with respect to any period during which there was no Relevant Servicing Criteria applicable to it.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11.11 shall require any Reporting Servicer (i) to certify or verify the accurateness or completeness of any information provided to such Reporting Servicer by third parties (other than a Sub-Servicer, Additional Servicer or any other third party retained by it that is not a Sub-Servicer listed on Exhibit AA or a Sub-Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 3.01(c)), (ii) to certify information other than to such

-317-

Reporting Servicer’s knowledge and in accordance with such Reporting Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder or (iii) with respect to completeness of information and reports, to certify anything other than that all fields of information called for in written reports prepared by such Reporting Servicer have been completed except as they have been left blank on their face.

Section 11.12 Indemnification. For so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian (if the Custodian is a separate entity from the Certificate Administrator), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless each Certification Party, the Depositor (and any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization Trust that includes such Companion Loan), their respective directors and officers, and each other person who controls any such entity within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, 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 (i) the failure to perform its obligations to the Depositor (or any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization Trust that includes such Companion Loan) or Certificate Administrator (or any Other Trustee related to an Other Securitization Trust that includes such Companion Loan) under this Article XI by the time required after giving effect to any applicable grace period or cure period, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any information (x) regarding such party or any Servicing Function Participant, Additional Servicer or subcontractor engaged by it (other than a Trust Loan Seller Sub-Servicer), (y) prepared by any such party described in clause (x) or any registered public accounting firm, attorney or other agent retained by such party to prepare such information and (z) delivered by or on behalf of such party in connection with the performance of such party’s obligations described in this Article XI, or the omission or alleged omission to state in any such information a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the applicable party shall be entitled to participate in any action arising out of the foregoing and the Depositor shall consult with such party with respect to any litigation or audit strategy, as applicable, in connection with the foregoing and any potential settlement terms related thereto, (iii) the failure of any Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by it (other than a Trust Loan Seller Sub-Servicer) to perform its obligations to the Depositor (or any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization Trust that includes such Companion Loan) or Certificate Administrator (or any Other Trustee related to an Other Securitization Trust that includes such Companion Loan) under this Article XI by the time required after giving effect to any applicable grace period and cure period or (iv) any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable.

In addition, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall cooperate (and require each Servicing Function Participant and Additional Servicer retained by it to cooperate under the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement) with the Depositor or the Other Depositor as necessary for the Depositor or the Other Depositor to conduct any reasonable due diligence necessary to evaluate and assess any material instances of non-compliance disclosed in any of the deliverables required by the applicable reporting requirements under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Reporting Requirements”).

-318-

In connection with comments provided to the Depositor or any Other Depositor from the Commission regarding information (x) delivered by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, as applicable (“Affected Reporting Party”), (y) regarding such Affected Reporting Party, and (z) prepared by such Affected Reporting Party or any registered public accounting firm, attorney or other agent retained by such party to prepare such information, which information is contained in a report filed by the Depositor or Other Depositor under the Reporting Requirements and which comments are received subsequent to the Depositor’s or Other Depositor’s filing of such report, the Depositor or Other Depositor shall promptly provide to such Affected Reporting Party any such comments which relate to such Affected Reporting Party. Such Affected Reporting Party shall be responsible for timely preparing a written response to the Commission for inclusion in the Depositor’s or Other Depositor’s response to the Commission, unless such Affected Reporting Party elects, with the consent of the Depositor or Other Depositor, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably denied, withheld or delayed), to directly communicate with the Commission and negotiate a response and/or resolution with the Commission; provided, if an Affected Reporting Party is a Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall receive copies of all material communications pursuant to this paragraph. If such election is made, the applicable Affected Reporting Party shall be responsible for directly negotiating such response and/or resolution with the Commission in a timely manner; provided, that (i) such Affected Reporting Party shall use reasonable efforts to keep the Depositor or Other Depositor informed of its progress with the Commission and copy the Depositor or Other Depositor on all correspondence with the Commission and provide the Depositor or Other Depositor with the opportunity to participate (at the Depositor’s or Other Depositor’s expense) in any telephone conferences and meetings with the Commission and (ii) the Depositor or Other Depositor shall cooperate with any Affected Reporting Party in order to authorize such Affected Reporting Party and its representatives to respond to and negotiate directly with the Commission with respect to any comments from the Commission relating to such Affected Reporting Party and to notify the Commission of such authorization. The Depositor (or Other Depositor) and the Affected Reporting Party shall cooperate and coordinate with one another with respect to any requests made to the Commission for extension of time for submitting a response or compliance. All respective reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor or Other Depositor (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel to the Depositor or Other Depositor, as the case may be) in connection with the foregoing (other than those costs and expenses required to be at the Depositor’s or Other Depositor’s expense as set forth above) and any amendments to any reports filed with the Commission therewith shall be promptly paid by the applicable Affected Reporting Party upon receipt of an itemized invoice from the Depositor or Other Depositor, as the case may be. Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by it to comply with the foregoing by inclusion of similar provisions in the related sub-servicing or similar agreement.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than (x) any party to this Agreement or (y) a Trust Loan Seller Sub-Servicer) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Trust Loan to indemnify and hold harmless each Certification Party from and against any losses, damages,

-319-

penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of (i) a breach of its obligations to provide any of the annual compliance statements or annual assessment of servicing criteria or attestation reports pursuant to this Agreement, or the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable or (ii) any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable.

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Certification Party, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, each Additional Servicer or other Servicing Function Participant (the “Performing Party”) shall, and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship (other than (x) a party to this Agreement or (y) a Trust Loan Seller Sub-Servicer) with respect to the Trust Loan to contribute to the amount paid or payable to the Certification Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Certification Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Certification Party on the one hand and the Performing Party on the other in connection with a breach of the Performing Party’s obligations pursuant to this Article XI. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than (x) any party to this Agreement or (y) Trust Loan Seller Sub-Servicers) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Trust Loan to agree to the foregoing indemnification and contribution obligations.

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the indemnifying party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, after the indemnifying party has been notified of the commencement of such action, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein (at its own expense) and, to the extent that it may wish, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof (jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any expenses subsequently incurred in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties and, in the case of an investigation by the Commission, any parties that are, or whose reporting materials are, the subject of such investigation) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party fails within a reasonable period of time to designate counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In no event

-320-

shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one jurisdiction separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent. However, if settled with such consent, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement to the extent that the indemnifying party is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or, if such settlement (i) provides for an unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement and (ii) does not require an admission of fault by the indemnified party, without the consent of the indemnified party.

Section 11.13 Amendments. This Article XI may be amended by the parties hereto pursuant to Section 11.08 of this Agreement for purposes of complying with Regulation AB, the Act or the Exchange Act and/or to conform to standards developed within the commercial mortgage-backed securities market and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act without any Opinions of Counsel, Officer’s Certificates, No Downgrade Confirmations or the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement.

Section 11.14 Termination of the Certificate Administrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Depositor or any Other Depositor may terminate the Certificate Administrator upon five Business Days’ notice if the Certificate Administrator fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Article XI; provided that such termination shall not be effective until a successor Certificate Administrator shall have accepted the appointment.

Section 11.15 Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements. For so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, each of the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian, as applicable, shall (i) cause each Sub-Servicing Agreement to which it is a party to entitle the Depositor or any Other 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 to any deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article XI and (ii) promptly notify the Depositor and any Other Depositor following any failure of the applicable Sub-Servicer to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article XI. The Depositor and any Other 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 and any Other Depositor to terminate a Sub-Servicing Agreement as aforesaid shall not limit any right the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, may have to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement.

-321-

Section 11.16  Notification Requirements and Deliveries in Connection with Securitization of a Companion Loan. (a) Any other provision of this Article XI to the contrary notwithstanding, including, without limitation, any deadlines for delivery set forth in this Article XI, in connection with the requirements contained in this Article XI that provide for the delivery of information and other items to, and the cooperation with, the Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party of any Other Securitization Trust that includes a 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 (i) 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 (which shall only be required to be delivered once and each party shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such notice until a Responsible Officer thereof has received a subsequent notice), setting forth the contact information for such Person(s) and, except as regards the deliveries and cooperation contemplated by Section 11.07, Section 11.08 and Section 11.09 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. Any reasonable cost and expense of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator and Custodian in cooperating with such Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party of such Other Securitization Trust (above and beyond their expressed duties hereunder) shall be the responsibility of such Other Depositor or Other Securitization Trust. The parties hereto shall have the right to confirm in good faith with the Other Depositor of such Other Securitization Trust as to whether applicable law requires the delivery of the items identified in this Article XI to such Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party of such Other Securitization Trust prior to providing any of the reports or other information required to be delivered under this Article XI in connection therewith and (i) upon such confirmation, the parties shall comply with the deadlines for delivery set forth in this Article XI with respect to such Other Securitization Trust or (ii) in the absence of such confirmation, the parties shall not be required to deliver such items; provided that no such confirmation shall be required in connection with any delivery of the items contemplated by Section 11.07, Section 11.08 and Section 11.09 of this Agreement. Such confirmation shall be deemed given if the Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party for the Other Securitization Trust provides a written statement to the effect that the Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the appropriate party hereto receives such written statement. The parties hereunder shall also have the right to require that such Other Depositor provide them with the contact details of such Other Depositor, Other Exchange Act Reporting Party and any other parties to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to such Other Securitization Trust.

(b)       Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall, upon reasonable prior written request given in accordance with the terms of Section 11.16(a) above, and subject to a right of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, Trustee or Custodian, as the case may be, to review and approve such disclosure materials, permit the Companion Loan Holders to use such party’s description contained in the Offering Circular (updated as appropriate by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, Trustee or Custodian, as applicable, at the reasonable

-322-

cost of the Other Depositor) for inclusion in the disclosure materials relating to any securitization of a Companion Loan.

(c)       The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian, upon reasonable prior written request given in accordance with the terms of Section 11.16(a) above, shall each timely provide (to the extent the reasonable cost thereof is paid or caused to be paid by the requesting party) to the Other Depositor and any underwriters with respect to any securitization transaction that includes a Companion Loan such opinion(s) of counsel, certifications and/or indemnification agreement(s) with respect to the updated description referred in Section 11.16(b) with respect to such party, substantially identical to those, if any, delivered by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, as the case may be, or their respective counsel, in connection with the information concerning such party in the Offering Circular and/or any other disclosure materials relating to this Trust (updated as deemed appropriate by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, or their respective legal counsel, as the case may be, and sufficient to comply with Regulation AB). None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall be obligated to deliver any such item with respect to the securitization of a Companion Loan if it did not deliver a corresponding item with respect to this Trust.

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust 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. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded by the Trust and Servicing Agreement to the extent of such inconsistency.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement as the 6th day of each calendar month, or if such 6th day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Charges as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

During each Certificate Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during a Certificate Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Class Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The “Certificate Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. The Certificate Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

A-1-6

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Trust 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, 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 not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts 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 under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor certificate administrator and (ii) subject to applicable law, the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Residual Certificateholders. 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 the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Such funds held by the Certificate Administrator may be invested under certain circumstances, and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any

interest of the Companion Loan Holder) (i) the Trust Loan, together with the Mortgage File relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Trust Loan due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for the Trust Loan; (vi) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve Accounts; (vii) amounts on deposit in the Collection Account attributable to the Trust Loan as identified on the Trust Ledger, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account or the REO Account, including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (viii) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Property; (ix) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Trust Loan and the Mortgaged Property; (x) the rights and remedies under the Trust Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Trust Loan and the representations and warranties of the Trust Loan Sellers regarding the Trust Loan; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the Borrowers). As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above-accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust 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.

(c) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holder not consenting thereto, as evidenced by in the case of clauses (iii), (iv) and (vi) above by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) solely in the case of a Certificateholder of a rated Class, receipt of a No Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a No Downgrade Confirmation with respect to any Companion Loan Securities. In no event shall any such amendment cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, affect the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or subject either REMIC or the Grantor Trust to tax.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the prior written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates and the Companion Loan Holder affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or agents or the Trust Loan Sellers) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment may:

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Whole Loan which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby, or which are required to be distributed to the Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Companion Loan Holder;

(ii) alter the Servicing Standard or obligations of the Master Servicer or the Trustee to make a P&I Advance, Administrative Advance or a Property Advance, without the consent of the Holders of the Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby);

(iii) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Holders of Certificates which are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby); or

(iv) amend any section of the Trust and Servicing Agreement which relates to the amendment of the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby).

A-1-10

Further, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, may amend the Trust and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary: (i) to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or the Companion Loan Holder or (ii) to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

The Directing Holder and, if the Directing Holder does not exercise such option, then the Special Servicer and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Master Servicer, and if the Master Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Holder of a majority Percentage Interest in the Class R and Class LR Certificates, may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund (provided that such party has provided 15 Business Days’ prior notice to each of the parties with such option and none of the parties with a higher priority has elected to exercise such option within such 15 Business Day period), upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination (which Notice of Termination shall satisfy the notice requirement of the proviso) given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Final Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Trust Loan then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the greater of,

(i)        the sum of, without duplication:

(A) 100% the outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan as of the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Final Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of principal);

(B) the fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Final Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;

(C) all unpaid interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan (including circumstances where title to the Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Trust Loan Rate to the last day of the Whole Loan Interest Accrual Period preceding

A-1-11

such Anticipated Final Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest);

(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees, the Operating Advisor Fee, the CREFC^® License Fee and Trust Fund expenses and indemnity amounts owed by the Trust; and

(ii)       the aggregate fair market value of the Trust Loan, and all other property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan in the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, together with one month’s interest thereon at the Trust Loan Rate.

In addition, the Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Regular Certificates for the Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable, as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.

All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Trust Loan and the other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Trust and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase of the Trust Loan and all other property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement; and (ii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates for the Trust Loan in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement and (iii) the later of (a) the receipt or collection of the last payment due on the Trust Loan included in the Trust Fund, or (b) the liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one

years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the United Kingdom, living on the date hereof.

Association, as certificate administrator (the “Certificate Administrator”), custodian and paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (the “Operating Advisor”), evidences the issuance of the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class HRR, Class S, Class R and Class LR Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust 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. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded by the Trust and Servicing Agreement to the extent of such inconsistency.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 X Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement as the 6th day of each calendar month, or if such 6th day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Charges as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

During each Certificate Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during a Certificate Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Class Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The “Certificate Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. The Certificate Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

A-2-6

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Trust 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, 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 not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts 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 under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor certificate administrator and (ii) subject to applicable law, the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Residual Certificateholders. 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 the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Such funds held by the Certificate Administrator may be invested under certain circumstances, and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any

A-2-7

interest of the Companion Loan Holder) (i) the Trust Loan, together with the Mortgage File relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Trust Loan due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for the Trust Loan; (vi) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve Accounts; (vii) amounts on deposit in the Collection Account attributable to the Trust Loan as identified on the Trust Ledger, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account or the REO Account, including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (viii) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Property; (ix) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Trust Loan and the Mortgaged Property; (x) the rights and remedies under the Trust Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Trust Loan and the representations and warranties of the Trust Loan Sellers regarding the Trust Loan; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the Borrower).

In no event shall any such amendment cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, affect the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or subject either REMIC or the Grantor Trust to tax.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the prior written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates and the Companion Loan Holder affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or agents or the Trust Loan Sellers) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment may:

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Whole Loan which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby, or which are required to be distributed to the Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Companion Loan Holder;

(ii) alter the Servicing Standard or obligations of the Master Servicer or the Trustee to make a P&I Advance, Administrative Advance or a Property Advance, without the consent of the Holders of the Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby);

The Directing Holder and, if the Directing Holder does not exercise such option, then the Special Servicer and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Master Servicer, and if the Master Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Holder of a majority Percentage Interest in the Class R and Class LR Certificates, may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund (provided that such party has provided 15 Business Days’ prior notice to each of the parties with such option and none of the parties with a higher priority has elected to exercise such option within such 15 Business Day period), upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination (which Notice of Termination shall satisfy the notice requirement of the proviso) given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Final Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Trust Loan then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the greater of,

(B) the fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Final Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;

(C) all unpaid interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan (including circumstances where title to the Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Trust Loan Rate to the last day of the Whole Loan Interest Accrual Period preceding

A-2-11

such Anticipated Final Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest);

(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees, the Operating Advisor Fee, the CREFC^® License Fee and Trust Fund expenses and indemnity amounts owed by the Trust; and

(ii)       the aggregate fair market value of the Trust Loan, and all other property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan in the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, together with one month’s interest thereon at the Trust Loan Rate.

In addition, the Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Regular Certificates for the Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable, as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.

All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Trust Loan and the other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Trust and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase of the Trust Loan and all other property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement; and (ii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates for the Trust Loan in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement and (iii) the later of (a) the receipt or collection of the last payment due on the Trust Loan included in the Trust Fund, or (b) the liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one

Association, as certificate administrator (the “Certificate Administrator”), custodian and paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (the “Operating Advisor”), evidences the issuance of the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class HRR, Class S, Class R and Class LR Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust 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. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded by the Trust and Servicing Agreement to the extent of such inconsistency.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement as the 6th day of each calendar month, or if such 6th day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Charges as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

During each Certificate Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class B Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during a Certificate Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Class Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The “Certificate Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. The Certificate Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

A-3-6

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Trust 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, 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 not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts 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 under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor certificate administrator and (ii) subject to applicable law, the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Residual Certificateholders. 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 the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Such funds held by the Certificate Administrator may be invested under certain circumstances, and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

In no event shall any such amendment cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, affect the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or subject either REMIC or the Grantor Trust to tax.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the prior written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates and the Companion Loan Holder affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or agents or the Trust Loan Sellers) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment may:

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Whole Loan which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby, or which are required to be distributed to the Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Companion Loan Holder;

(ii) alter the Servicing Standard or obligations of the Master Servicer or the Trustee to make a P&I Advance, Administrative Advance or a Property Advance, without the consent of the Holders of the Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby);

The Directing Holder and, if the Directing Holder does not exercise such option, then the Special Servicer and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Master Servicer, and if the Master Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Holder of a majority Percentage Interest in the Class R and Class LR Certificates, may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund (provided that such party has provided 15 Business Days’ prior notice to each of the parties with such option and none of the parties with a higher priority has elected to exercise such option within such 15 Business Day period), upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination (which Notice of Termination shall satisfy the notice requirement of the proviso) given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Final Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Trust Loan then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the greater of,

(B) the fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Final Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;

(C) all unpaid interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan (including circumstances where title to the Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Trust Loan Rate to the last day of the Whole Loan Interest Accrual Period preceding

A-3-11

such Anticipated Final Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest);

(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees, the Operating Advisor Fee, the CREFC^® License Fee and Trust Fund expenses and indemnity amounts owed by the Trust; and

(ii)       the aggregate fair market value of the Trust Loan, and all other property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan in the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, together with one month’s interest thereon at the Trust Loan Rate.

In addition, the Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Regular Certificates for the Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable, as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.

All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Trust Loan and the other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Trust and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase of the Trust Loan and all other property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement; and (ii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates for the Trust Loan in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement and (iii) the later of (a) the receipt or collection of the last payment due on the Trust Loan included in the Trust Fund, or (b) the liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one

Association, as certificate administrator (the “Certificate Administrator”), custodian and paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (the “Operating Advisor”), evidences the issuance of the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class HRR, Class S, Class R and Class LR Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust 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. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded by the Trust and Servicing Agreement to the extent of such inconsistency.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement as the 6th day of each calendar month, or if such 6th day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Charges as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

During each Certificate Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class C Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during a Certificate Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Class Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The “Certificate Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. The Certificate Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

A-4-6

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Trust 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, 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 not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts 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 under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor certificate administrator and (ii) subject to applicable law, the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Residual Certificateholders.

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.

In no event shall any such amendment cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, affect the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or subject either REMIC or the Grantor Trust to tax.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the prior written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates and the Companion Loan Holder affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or agents or the Trust Loan Sellers) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment may:

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Whole Loan which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby, or which are required to be distributed to the Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Companion Loan Holder;

(ii) alter the Servicing Standard or obligations of the Master Servicer or the Trustee to make a P&I Advance, Administrative Advance or a Property Advance, without the consent of the Holders of the Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby);

(iii) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Holders of Certificates which are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby); or

(iv) amend any section of the Trust and Servicing Agreement which relates to the amendment of the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby).

A-4-10

Further, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, may amend the Trust and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary: (i) to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or the Companion Loan Holder or (ii) to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

The Directing Holder and, if the Directing Holder does not exercise such option, then the Special Servicer and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Master Servicer, and if the Master Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Holder of a majority Percentage Interest in the Class R and Class LR Certificates, may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund (provided that such party has provided 15 Business Days’ prior notice to each of the parties with such option and none of the parties with a higher priority has elected to exercise such option within such 15 Business Day period), upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination (which Notice of Termination shall satisfy the notice requirement of the proviso) given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Final Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Trust Loan then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the greater of,

(B) the fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Final Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;

(C) all unpaid interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan (including circumstances where title to the Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Trust Loan Rate to the last day of the Whole Loan Interest Accrual Period preceding

A-4-11

such Anticipated Final Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest);

(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees, the Operating Advisor Fee, the CREFC^® License Fee and Trust Fund expenses and indemnity amounts owed by the Trust; and

(ii)       the aggregate fair market value of the Trust Loan, and all other property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan in the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, together with one month’s interest thereon at the Trust Loan Rate.

In addition, the Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Regular Certificates for the Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable, as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.

All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Trust Loan and the other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Association, as certificate administrator (the “Certificate Administrator”), custodian and paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (the “Operating Advisor”), evidences the issuance of the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class HRR, Class S, Class R and Class LR Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust 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. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded by the Trust and Servicing Agreement to the extent of such inconsistency.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement as the 6th day of each calendar month, or if such 6th day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Charges as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

During each Certificate Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class D Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during a Certificate Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Class Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The “Certificate Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. The Certificate Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 A-5-6

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Trust 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, 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 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.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above-accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

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.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holder, (i) to cure any ambiguity or to correct any error; (ii) to cause the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Offering Circular with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Trust and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or the Offering Circular which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or the Offering Circular; (iii) to amend any provision of the Trust and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the Classes of Certificates or Companion Loan Securities by each Rating Agency (provided that such amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect (x) the rights or interests of any Certificateholder or the Companion Loan Holder not consenting thereto or (y) the rights or interests of the Directing Holder without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing 100% of the Controlling Class); (iv) to amend or supplement a provision, or to supplement any other provisions to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, or any other change that will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or the Companion Loan Holder not consenting thereto (as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel or, if solely affecting any Certificateholder of a rated Class or a Companion Loan Holder of rated Companion Loan Securities, in respect of which a No Downgrade Confirmation has been obtained relating to the Certificates or the Companion Loan Securities, if applicable); (v) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (a) to such extent as will be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Credit Risk Retention Rules, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel, or (b) in the event the Credit Risk Retention Rules or any other regulations applicable to the 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; provided that no such modification, elimination or addition may change in any manner the rights or obligations of the Successor Third Party Purchaser under the Trust and Servicing Agreement or the related risk retention agreement without the consent of the Successor Third Party Purchaser; and (vi) to modify the procedures of the Trust and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such modification would not (a) materially increase the obligations or decrease the rights of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such parties’ consent, (b) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Trust and Servicing Agreement of the Directing Holder without the consent of the Directing Holder or

In no event shall any such amendment cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, affect the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or subject either REMIC or the Grantor Trust to tax.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the prior written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates and the Companion Loan Holder affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or agents or the Trust Loan Sellers) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment may:

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Whole Loan which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby, or which are required to be distributed to the Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Companion Loan Holder;

(ii) alter the Servicing Standard or obligations of the Master Servicer or the Trustee to make a P&I Advance, Administrative Advance or a Property Advance, without the consent of the Holders of the Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby);

(iii) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Holders of Certificates which are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby); or

(iv) amend any section of the Trust and Servicing Agreement which relates to the amendment of the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby).

Further, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, may amend the Trust and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary: (i) to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or the Companion Loan Holder or (ii) to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

The Directing Holder and, if the Directing Holder does not exercise such option, then the Special Servicer and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Master Servicer, and if the Master Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Holder of a majority Percentage Interest in the Class R and Class LR Certificates, may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund (provided that such party has provided 15 Business Days’ prior notice to each of the parties with such option and none of the parties with a higher priority has elected to exercise such option within such 15 Business Day period), upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination (which Notice of Termination shall satisfy the notice requirement of the proviso) given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Final Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Trust Loan then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the greater of,

(i) the sum of, without duplication:

(B) the fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Final Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;

(C) all unpaid interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan (including circumstances where title to the Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Trust Loan Rate to the last day of the Whole Loan Interest Accrual Period preceding

 A-5-11

such Anticipated Final Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest);

(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees, the Operating Advisor Fee, the CREFC^® License Fee and Trust Fund expenses and indemnity amounts owed by the Trust; and

(ii)           the aggregate fair market value of the Trust Loan, and all other property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan in the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, together with one month’s interest thereon at the Trust Loan Rate.

In addition, the Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Regular Certificates for the Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable, as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.

All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Trust Loan and the other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Association, as certificate administrator (the “Certificate Administrator”), custodian and paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (the “Operating Advisor”), evidences the issuance of the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class HRR, Class S, Class R and Class LR Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust 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. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded by the Trust and Servicing Agreement to the extent of such inconsistency.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 HRR Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement as the 6th day of each calendar month, or if such 6th day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Charges as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

During each Certificate Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class HRR Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during a Certificate Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Class Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The “Certificate Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. The Certificate Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 A-6-6

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Trust 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, 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 not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts 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 under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor certificate administrator and (ii) subject to applicable law, the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Residual Certificateholders. 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 the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Such funds held by the Certificate Administrator may be invested under certain circumstances, and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any

In no event shall any such amendment cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, affect the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or subject either REMIC or the Grantor Trust to tax.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the prior written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates and the Companion Loan Holder affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or agents or the Trust Loan Sellers) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment may:

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Whole Loan which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby, or which are required to be distributed to the Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Companion Loan Holder;

(ii) alter the Servicing Standard or obligations of the Master Servicer or the Trustee to make a P&I Advance, Administrative Advance or a Property Advance, without the consent of the Holders of the Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby);

(iii) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Holders of Certificates which are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby); or

(iv) amend any section of the Trust and Servicing Agreement which relates to the amendment of the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby).

 A-6-10

Further, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, may amend the Trust and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary: (i) to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or the Companion Loan Holder or (ii) to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

The Directing Holder and, if the Directing Holder does not exercise such option, then the Special Servicer and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Master Servicer, and if the Master Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Holder of a majority Percentage Interest in the Class R and Class LR Certificates, may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund (provided that such party has provided 15 Business Days’ prior notice to each of the parties with such option and none of the parties with a higher priority has elected to exercise such option within such 15 Business Day period), upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination (which Notice of Termination shall satisfy the notice requirement of the proviso) given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Final Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Trust Loan then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the greater of,

(C) all unpaid interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan (including circumstances where title to the Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Trust Loan Rate to the last day of the Whole Loan Interest Accrual Period preceding

 A-6-11

such Anticipated Final Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest);

(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees, the Operating Advisor Fee, the CREFC^® License Fee and Trust Fund expenses and indemnity amounts owed by the Trust; and

(ii)           the aggregate fair market value of the Trust Loan, and all other property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan in the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, together with one month’s interest thereon at the Trust Loan Rate.

In addition, the Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Regular Certificates for the Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable, as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.

The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a Trust Loan secured by, among other things, a mortgage on the fee simple interests of the Borrowers in two adjacent Class A life sciences laboratory and office buildings located in Cambridge and Boston, Massachusetts, and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Trust Loan is to be serviced, pursuant to the Trust 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a beneficial ownership interest in a portion of the Excess Interest collected on the Trust Loan and amounts held from time to time in the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded by the Trust and Servicing Agreement to the extent of such inconsistency.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 S Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement as the 6th day of each calendar month, or if such 6th day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day, commencing in December 2021.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during a Certificate Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Class Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The “Certificate Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. The Certificate Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner,

 A-7-4

but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Trust 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, 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 not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts 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 under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor certificate administrator and (ii) subject to applicable law, the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Residual Certificateholders. 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 the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Such funds held by the Certificate Administrator may be invested under certain circumstances, and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above-accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

In no event shall any such amendment cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, affect the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or subject either REMIC or the Grantor Trust to tax.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the

 A-7-7

Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the prior written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates and the Companion Loan Holder affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or agents or the Trust Loan Sellers) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment may:

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Whole Loan which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby, or which are required to be distributed to the Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Companion Loan Holder;

(ii) alter the Servicing Standard or obligations of the Master Servicer or the Trustee to make a P&I Advance, Administrative Advance or a Property Advance, without the consent of the Holders of the Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby);

(iii) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Holders of Certificates which are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby); or

(iv) amend any section of the Trust and Servicing Agreement which relates to the amendment of the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby and the consent of the Companion Loan Holder (if affected thereby).

comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

The Directing Holder and, if the Directing Holder does not exercise such option, then the Special Servicer and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Master Servicer, and if the Master Servicer does not exercise such option, then the Holder of a majority Percentage Interest in the Class R and Class LR Certificates, may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund (provided that such party has provided 15 Business Days’ prior notice to each of the parties with such option and none of the parties with a higher priority has elected to exercise such option within such 15 Business Day period), upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination (which Notice of Termination shall satisfy the notice requirement of the proviso) given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Final Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Trust Loan then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the greater of,

(C) all unpaid interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan (including circumstances where title to the Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Trust Loan Rate to the last day of the Whole Loan Interest Accrual Period preceding such Anticipated Final Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest);

(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees, the Operating Advisor Fee, the CREFC^® License Fee and Trust Fund expenses and indemnity amounts owed by the Trust; and

In addition, the Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Regular Certificates for the Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable, as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.

FORM OF CLASS LR CERTIFICATE

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN THE DEPOSITOR, ANY ORIGINATOR, THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SPECIAL SERVICER, THE CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THE CERTIFICATES NOR THE UNDERLYING TRUST LOAN ARE INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY.

A TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, IS DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THIS CERTIFICATE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY, AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.02 OF THE TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, AND SHALL BE REQUIRED TO FURNISH AN AFFIDAVIT TO THE TRANSFEROR AND THE CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR TO THE EFFECT THAT IT IS A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE AND, AMONG OTHER THINGS, (A) IT IS NOT A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION, AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION 860E(e)(5) OF THE CODE, OR AN AGENT (INCLUDING A BROKER, NOMINEE OR OTHER MIDDLEMAN) FOR SUCH DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION AND IS OTHERWISE A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE, (B) IT WILL NOT CAUSE INCOME WITH RESPECT TO THIS CERTIFICATE TO BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO A FOREIGN PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT OR FIXED BASE, WITHIN THE MEANING OF AN APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY, OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER U.S. PERSON, (C) IT HAS HISTORICALLY PAID ITS DEBTS AS THEY HAVE COME DUE AND INTENDS TO CONTINUE TO PAY ITS DEBTS AS THEY COME DUE IN THE FUTURE, AND (D) IT INTENDS TO PAY ANY TAXES ASSOCIATED WITH HOLDING THIS CERTIFICATE AS THEY BECOME DUE. ANY PURPORTED TRANSFER TO A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION OR OTHER PERSON THAT IS NOT A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE OR OTHERWISE IN VIOLATION OF THESE RESTRICTIONS SHALL BE ABSOLUTELY NULL AND VOID AND SHALL VEST NO RIGHTS IN ANY PURPORTED TRANSFEREE. BECAUSE THIS CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS A “NON-ECONOMIC RESIDUAL INTEREST,” AS DEFINED IN TREASURY REGULATIONS SECTION 1.860E-1(c), CERTAIN TRANSFERS OF THIS CERTIFICATE WILL BE DISREGARDED FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. IN ORDER TO SATISFY A REGULATORY SAFE HARBOR UNDER WHICH SUCH TRANSFERS WILL NOT BE DISREGARDED, THE TRANSFEROR MAY BE REQUIRED, AMONG OTHER THINGS, TO SATISFY ITSELF AS TO THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE AND EITHER TO PAY A SPECIFIED AMOUNT TO THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE OR TRANSFER TO AN ELIGIBLE TRANSFEREE AS PROVIDED IN REGULATIONS.

	CUSIP:	12477BAS31
	ISIN:	US12477BAS342

This certifies that [_______] is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Trust Fund. The Class LR Certificateholder is not entitled to interest or principal distributions. The Class LR Certificateholder will be entitled to receive the proceeds of the remaining assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC, if any, on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Certificates, after distributions in respect of any accrued but unpaid interest on the Certificates and after distributions in reduction of principal balance have reduced the principal balances of the Certificates to zero. It is not anticipated that there will be any assets remaining in the Upper-Tier REMIC or Trust Fund on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date following the distributions on the Regular Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a Trust Loan secured by, among other things, a mortgage on the fee simple interests of the Borrowers in two adjacent Class A life sciences laboratory and office buildings located in Cambridge and Boston, Massachusetts, and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Trust Loan is to be serviced, pursuant to the Trust 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2021 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), between Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), KeyBank National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (the “Certificate Administrator”), custodian and paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (the “Operating Advisor”), evidences the issuance of the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class HRR, Class S, Class R and Class LR Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Class LR Certificate represents the sole “residual interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1)

¹ For Rule 144A Certificates.

² For Rule 144A Certificates.

 A-8-4

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 Certificate Administrator shall be the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code of the Lower-Tier REMIC pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d). In addition, each Holder agrees to the irrevocable designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” as defined in Section 6223 of the Code of the Lower-Tier REMIC and to the Certificate Administrator making any elections allowed under the Code to avoid (i) the application of Section 6221 of the Code (or successor provisions) to the Lower-Tier REMIC and (ii) payment by the Lower-Tier 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 LR Certificate, past or present.

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 Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded by the Trust and Servicing Agreement to the extent of such inconsistency.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 LR Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement as the 6th day of each calendar month, or if such 6th day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day, commencing in December 2021.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

 A-8-5

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Trust 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, 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 not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts 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 under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor certificate administrator and (ii) subject to applicable law, the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Residual Certificateholders. 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 the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Such funds held by the Certificate Administrator may be invested under certain circumstances, and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of the Companion Loan Holder) (i) the Trust Loan, together with the Mortgage File relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Trust Loan due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for the Trust Loan; (vi) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve Accounts; (vii) amounts on deposit in the Collection Account attributable to the Trust Loan as identified on the Trust Ledger, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account or the REO Account, including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (viii) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Property; (ix) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Trust Loan and the Mortgaged Property; (x) the rights and remedies under the Trust Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Trust Loan and the representations and warranties of the Trust Loan Sellers regarding the Trust Loan; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow

 A-8-6

Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the Borrower). As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above-accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust 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.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements Article V of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate denomination as the Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Article V of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent 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 none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in Section 5.02(h) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund 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 the Trust 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.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the prior written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates and the Companion Loan Holder affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or agents or the Trust

 A-8-8

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Whole Loan which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby, or which are required to be distributed to the Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Companion Loan Holder;

(C) all unpaid interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan (including circumstances where title to the Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Trust Loan Rate to the last day of the Whole Loan Interest Accrual Period preceding such Anticipated Final Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest);

(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees, the Operating Advisor Fee, the CREFC^® License Fee and Trust Fund expenses and indemnity amounts owed by the Trust; and

ANY PURPORTED TRANSFER TO A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION OR OTHER PERSON THAT IS NOT A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE OR OTHERWISE IN VIOLATION OF THESE RESTRICTIONS SHALL BE ABSOLUTELY NULL AND VOID AND SHALL VEST NO RIGHTS IN ANY PURPORTED TRANSFEREE.

IN ORDER TO SATISFY A REGULATORY SAFE HARBOR UNDER WHICH SUCH TRANSFERS WILL NOT BE DISREGARDED, THE TRANSFEROR MAY BE REQUIRED, AMONG OTHER THINGS, TO SATISFY ITSELF AS TO THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE AND EITHER TO PAY A SPECIFIED AMOUNT TO THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE OR TRANSFER TO AN ELIGIBLE TRANSFEREE AS PROVIDED IN REGULATIONS.

	CUSIP:	12477BAQ71
	ISIN:	US12477BAQ772

This certifies that [_______] is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Trust Fund. The Class R Certificateholder is not entitled to interest or principal distributions. The Class R Certificateholder will be entitled to receive the proceeds of the remaining assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC, if any, on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Certificates, after distributions in respect of any accrued but unpaid interest on the Certificates and after distributions in reduction of principal balance have reduced the principal balances of the Certificates to zero. It is not anticipated that there will be any assets remaining in the Upper-Tier REMIC or Trust Fund on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date following the distributions on the Regular Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a Trust Loan secured by, among other things, a mortgage on the fee simple interests of the Borrowers in two adjacent Class A life sciences laboratory and office buildings located in Cambridge and Boston, Massachusetts, and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Trust Loan is to be serviced, pursuant to the Trust 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2021 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), between Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), KeyBank National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (the “Certificate Administrator”), custodian and paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (the “Operating Advisor”), evidences the issuance of the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class HRR, Class S, Class R and Class LR Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Class R Certificate represents the sole “residual interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1)

¹ For Rule 144A Certificates.

² For Rule 144A Certificates.

 A-9-4

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 Certificate Administrator shall be the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code of the Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d). In addition, each Holder agrees to the irrevocable designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” as defined in Section 6223 of the Code of the Upper-Tier REMIC and to the Certificate Administrator making any elections allowed under the Code to avoid (i) the application of Section 6221 of the Code (or successor provisions) to the Upper-Tier REMIC and (ii) payment by the Upper-Tier 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.

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 Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded by the Trust and Servicing Agreement to the extent of such inconsistency.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 R Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement as the 6th day of each calendar month, or if such 6th day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day, commencing in December 2021.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

 A-9-5

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Trust 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, 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 not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts 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 under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor certificate administrator and (ii) subject to applicable law, the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Residual Certificateholders. 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 the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Such funds held by the Certificate Administrator may be invested under certain circumstances, and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of the Companion Loan Holder) (i) the Trust Loan, together with the Mortgage File relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Trust Loan due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for the Trust Loan; (vi) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve Accounts; (vii) amounts on deposit in the Collection Account attributable to the Trust Loan as identified on the Trust Ledger, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account or the REO Account, including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (viii) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Property; (ix) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Trust Loan and the Mortgaged Property; (x) the rights and remedies under the Trust Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Trust Loan and the representations and warranties of the Trust Loan Sellers regarding the Trust Loan; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; and (xii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow

 A-9-6

Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the Borrower). As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above-accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust 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.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements Article V of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate denomination as the Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Article V of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent 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 none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in Section 5.02(h) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund 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 the Trust 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.

The Directing Holder and, if the Directing Holder does not exercise such option, then the Special Servicer and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, then the

(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees, the Operating Advisor Fee, the CREFC^® License Fee and Trust Fund expenses and indemnity amounts owed by the Trust; and

(ii)           the aggregate fair market value of the Trust Loan, and all other property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan in the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date, together with one month’s interest thereon at the Trust Loan Rate.

The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

(iii) the Purchaser will transfer the Class [R][LR] Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and

(iv) the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class [R][LR] 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.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2021 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), entered into in connection with the CAMB 2021-CX2 securitization transaction and the issuance of CAMB 2021-CX2 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”) in connection with the transfer by [_______] (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of [$_____ aggregate [Certificate Balance][_____% Percentage Interest]] of Class [__] Certificates, in certificated fully registered form (such registered interest, the “Certificate”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

In connection with such transfer, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants to you as follows:

[For Institutional Accredited Investors only]

(i) The Purchaser is an “institutional accredited investor” (i.e., an entity meeting 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”), or an entity 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) 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 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 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. The Purchaser hereby

D-1-1 

undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

[For Qualified Institutional Buyers only]

(i) The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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.

(ii) The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the certificate (A) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (B) for resale to (1) “qualified institutional buyers” in transactions under Rule 144A, (2) “institutional accredited investors” meeting the requirements of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an entity 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, or (3) 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) in the case of a transfer to an Affiliated Person, the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or other 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 other 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 Certificate (and any subsequent Individual 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.

(iii) 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.

(iv) The Purchaser has reviewed the applicable Offering Circular dated October 22, 2021, relating to the 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.

D-1-2 

(v) The Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as an owner of an Individual 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 Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.

(vi) The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Certificate, except in compliance with Section 5.02 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

☐       The Purchaser is not a “U.S. 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(s).

The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Certificate Registrar updated [IRS Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, IRS Forms W-8IMY or]* IRS Forms 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 (vii), “U.S. 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. 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. Persons).

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:

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;

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.

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.

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.

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.

Re: Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, CAMB 2021-CX2 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2021 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”) and executed in connection with the CAMB 2021-CX2 securitization transaction. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Trust 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 with respect to the Whole Loan as to which [_____] is the applicable Master Servicer (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.

P-2-1 

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 P-1 to the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and (B) each of the Master Servicer and the Depositor have received a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit P-2 to the Trust 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 3.12 of the Trust 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created pursuant thereto, (d) the nature, performance and servicing of the Whole Loan, 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 are “accredited investors” as defined in any of paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. 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

P-2-2 

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

8.        The Transferee acknowledges that the holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under the Trust and Servicing Agreement except as set forth in Section 3.12(a) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and that the Excess Servicing Fee Rate may be reduced to the extent provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Special Servicer: Situs Holdings, LLC

I. Executive Summary

Based on the requirements and qualifications set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, as well as the items listed below, the Operating Advisor (in accordance with the Operating Advisor’s analysis requirements outlined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement) has undertaken a limited review of the Special Servicer’s actions under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Based solely on such limited review of the items listed below, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer [is/is not] operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under the Trust and Servicing Agreement during the prior calendar year. [The Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer has failed to comply with the Servicing Standard, as a result of the following material deviations.]

● [LIST OF MATERIAL DEVIATION ITEMS]

In addition, the Operating Advisor notes the following: [PROVIDE SUMMARY OF ANY ADDITIONAL MATERIAL INFORMATION].

[ADD RECOMMENDATION OF REPLACEMENT OF SPECIAL SERVICER, IF APPLICABLE]

II. List of Items that Were Considered in Compiling this Report

In rendering our assessment herein, we examined and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the items listed below:

1. Major Decision Reporting Packages.

¹ This report is an indicative report and does not reflect the final form of annual report to be used in any particular year. The Operating Advisor will have the ability to modify or alter the organization and content of any particular report, subject to the compliance with the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, provisions relating to Privileged Information.

S-1 

2. Reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s website and each Asset Status Report and Final Asset Status Report.

3. The Special Servicer’s assessment of compliance report, attestation report by a third party regarding the Special Servicer’s compliance with its obligations and net present value calculations.

4. [LIST OTHER REVIEWED INFORMATION]

5. [INSERT WHEN AN OPERATING ADVISOR CONSULTATION PERIOD IS IN EFFECT: Consulted with the Special Servicer as provided under the Trust and Servicing Agreement in respect to the Asset Status Reports for the Trust Loan when a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and with respect to Major Decisions.]

NOTE: The Operating Advisor’s review of the above materials should be considered a limited review and not be considered a full or limited audit. For instance, we did not review each page of the Special Servicer’s policy and procedure manuals (including amendments and appendices), review underlying lease agreements, re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculator, visit any related property, visit the Special Servicer, visit the Directing Holder or interact with the Borrower. 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.

III. Qualifications and Disclaimers Related to the Work Product Undertaken and Opinions Related to this Report

1. In rendering our assessment herein, we have assumed that all executed factual statements, instruments, and other documents that we have relied upon in rendering this assessment have been executed by persons with legal capacity to execute such documents.

2. Except as may have been reflected in any Major Decision Reporting Package or Asset Status Report, the Operating Advisor did not participate in, or have access to, the Special Servicer’s and Directing Holder’s discussion(s) regarding the Whole Loan when a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred. The Operating Advisor does not have authority to speak with the Directing Holder or borrower 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.

3. The Special Servicer has the legal authority and responsibility to service the Whole Loan when a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Operating Advisor has no responsibility or authority to alter the standards set forth therein or direct the actions of the Special Servicer.

S-2 

4. Confidentiality and other contractual limitations limit the Operating Advisor’s ability to outline the details or substance of any communications held between it and the Special Servicer regarding the Whole Loan when a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and certain information it reviewed in connection with its duties under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. As a result, this report may not reflect all the relevant information that the Operating Advisor is given access to by the Special Servicer.

5. The Operating Advisor is not empowered to speak with any investors directly. If the investors have questions regarding this report, they should address such questions to the Certificate Administrator through the Certificate Administrator’s website.

6. This report does not constitute recommendations to buy, sell or hold any security, nor does the Operating Advisor take into account market prices of securities or financial markets generally when performing its limited review of the Special Servicer as described above. The Operating Advisor does not have a fiduciary relationship with any Certificateholder or any other party or individual. Nothing is intended to or should be construed as creating a fiduciary relationship between the Operating Advisor and any Certificateholder, party or individual.

Terms used but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021, between Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Paying Agent and Custodian, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer.

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. For income tax purposes alone, the Trust Fund will consist of the Mortgage Loans, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Grantor Trust, all as more fully described below.

In addition, the parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the uncertificated regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC corresponding to the VRR Interest (“VRR Regular Interests”) and distributions thereon, 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 S Certificates and the VRR Interest shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the VRR Interest shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the VRR Regular Interests and distributions thereon. 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 the Trust REMICs.

LOWER-TIER REMIC

The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest) and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement, and will issue (i) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests set forth in the table below (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), as classes of regular interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC and (ii) the Class LTR Interest as the sole class of residual interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC, which will be evidenced by the Class R Certificates.

The Lower-Tier Regular Interests will be held by the Upper-Tier REMIC.

The following table sets forth the Class designation, initial principal balance or notional amount (as applicable) and initial pass-through rate of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interest and its “Corresponding Upper-Tier Regular Interest” and the Class LTR Interest:

-1-

Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LTR Interest / (Corresponding Upper- Tier Regular Interests)	Initial Principal Balance or Notional Amount	Pass-Through Rate

Class LA-SB / (A-SB, X-A)	$21,867,000	(1)
Class LA-4 / (A-4, X-A)	$220,000,000	(1)
Class LA-5 / (A-5, X-A)	$370,026,000	(1)
Class LA-M / (A-M, X-A)	$78,029,000	(1)
Class LB / (B, X-B)	$41,842,000	(1)

LVRR / (VRR Interest)	$47,614,996	(1)
LTR	(2)	(2)

(1) The pass-through rate for this Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interest is equal to the WAC Rate.

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

UPPER-TIER REMIC

The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement and will issue (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H Certificates (exclusive of Excess Interest) and the VRR Interest (exclusive of Excess Interest) representing “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder (“Upper-Tier Regular Interests”), and (ii) the Class UTR Interest as the sole class of residual interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC, which will be evidenced by the Class R Certificates.

(1) Notional Amount.

(2) The regular interest represented by this certificate is entitled to a specified portion of the interest payable on each of the Class LA-1, Class LA-2, Class LA-SB, Class LA-4, Class LA-5 and Class LA-M Lower-Tier Regular Interests equal to the excess of the WAC Rate over the interest payable on the Corresponding Upper-Tier Regular Interest as identified on the table for the Lower-Tier REMIC.

(3) The regular interest represented by this certificate is entitled to a specified portion of the interest payable on each of the Class LB and Class LC Lower-Tier Regular Interests equal to the excess of the WAC Rate over the interest payable on the Corresponding Upper-Tier Regular Interest as identified on the table for the Lower-Tier REMIC.

(4) The regular interest represented by this certificate is entitled to a specified portion of the interest payable on the each of the Class LD and Class LE Lower-Tier Regular Interests equal to the excess of the WAC Rate over the interest payable on the Corresponding Upper-Tier Regular Interest as identified on the table for the Lower-Tier REMIC.

(5) The regular interest represented by this certificate is entitled to a specified portion of the interest payable on the Class LF Lower-Tier Regular Interest equal to the excess of the WAC Rate over the interest payable on the Corresponding Upper-Tier Regular Interest as identified on the table for the Lower-Tier REMIC.

(6) The regular interest represented by this certificate is entitled to a specified portion of the interest payable on the Class LG Lower-Tier Regular Interest equal to the excess of the WAC Rate over the interest payable on the Corresponding Upper-Tier Regular Interest as identified on the table for the Lower-Tier REMIC.

(8) Although it does not have a specified Pass-Through Rate (other than for tax reporting purposes), the effective interest rate for the VRR Interest will be the WAC Rate.

(9) The Class UTR Interest is the sole class of residual interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC. It is not entitled to distributions of principal or interest.

The foregoing structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest) to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on the Upper-Tier Regular Interests, without creating any shortfall, actual or potential (other than for credit losses), to any REMIC regular interests. To the extent that the structure is believed to

-3-

diverge from such intention, the parties identifying such ambiguity shall notify the other parties hereto and the parties involved will resolve such ambiguities to accomplish the intended result and will to the extent necessary rectify any drafting errors or seek clarification to the structure without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of counsel) to accomplish such intention, including, to the extent necessary, making any amendments in accordance with Section 12.08 of this Agreement.

Neither the Class R nor the Class S Certificates will have a Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, bear interest or be entitled to distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges. Any Aggregate Available Funds remaining in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account after all required distributions under this Agreement have been made to each Class of Upper-Tier Regular Interests, will be deemed distributed to the Class UTR Interest and shall be payable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates.

None of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class S or Class R Certificates have Certificate Balances. The Certificate Balance of any Class of Principal Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest outstanding at any time represents the maximum amount which Holders thereof are entitled to receive as distributions allocable to principal from the cash flow on the Mortgage Loans and the other assets in the Trust Fund; provided that if amounts previously allocated as Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, to a Class of Certificates in reduction of the Certificate Balance thereof are subsequently recovered (including without limitation after the reduction of the Certificate Balance of such Class to zero), such Class may receive distributions in respect of such recoveries in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement.

GRANTOR TRUST

The Class S Certificates and the VRR Interest shall each represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the VRR Interest shall each represent undivided beneficial interests in the VRR Regular Interests and distributions thereon. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall not take any actions that would cause the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust (i) to fail to maintain its status as a “grantor trust” under federal income tax law or (ii) to be treated as part of any Trust REMIC.

On the Closing Date, the Depositor is selling, assigning and transferring and otherwise conveying to (i) DBNY, $36,903,596 initial Certificate Balance of the VRR Interest (which assignment, transfer and conveyance shall, solely for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 3(a) and Section 4(a)(1) of the Risk Retention Rule, be deemed assigned, transferred and conveyed from the Depositor to GACC and from GACC to DBNY), and (ii) CREFI, $10,711,400 initial Certificate Balance of the VRR Interest (which assignment, transfer and conveyance shall, solely for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 11(a)(1) of the Risk Retention Rule, be deemed assigned, transferred and conveyed from the Depositor to GACC and from GACC to CREFI).

The portion of the VRR Interest that DBNY is so purchasing from the Depositor on the Closing Date is referred to in this Agreement as the “VRR1 Interest”. The portion of the

-4-

VRR Interest that CREFI is so purchasing from the Depositor on the Closing Date is referred to in this Agreement as the “VRR2 Interest”.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity and intended tax treatment of the Trust REMICs and the Grantor Trust and causes the maximum amounts to be paid with respect to the holders of the REMIC regular interests.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the aggregate Appraisal Reduction Amount related to a Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan or the related REO Property will be reduced to zero as of the date the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is paid in full, liquidated, repurchased or otherwise removed from the Trust Fund. In addition, with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, such Serviced Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan shall no longer be subject to the Appraisal Reduction Amount if (a) such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan has become a Corrected Mortgage Loan (if a Servicing Transfer Event had occurred with respect to the related Mortgage Loan) and (b) no other Appraisal Reduction Event is continuing.

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 loans and companion loans, as applicable, that comprise such Serviced Whole Loan. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Serviced Whole Loan (other than a Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan) with a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan shall 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 Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is pari passu in right of payment with such Mortgage Loan, if any, based upon their respective Stated Principal Balances. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan shall be allocated first, to the Subordinate Companion Loan (until its principal balance is notionally reduced to zero by such related Appraisal Reduction Amounts) and second, 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 Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans based upon their respective Stated Principal Balances.

The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (which amendment shall change the beneficiary of the letter of credit to the Trust (or the applicable Other Trust with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in care of the Master Servicer (or the applicable Other Servicer with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)) required in order for the Master Servicer (or the applicable Other Servicer with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust (or the applicable Other Trust with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). In the event that the documents specified in Section 2.01(a)(xx) of this Agreement are missing with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan

-136-

Section 2.02   Acceptance by Custodian and the Trustee. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans in good faith without notice of adverse claims and declares that the Custodian holds and will hold such documents and all others delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File (to the extent the documents constituting the Mortgage File are actually delivered to the Custodian) for any Mortgage Loan assigned to the Trustee hereunder in trust, upon the conditions herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders.

The Custodian hereby certifies to each of the Directing Holder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and each Mortgage Loan Seller that except as identified in the Custodian’s closing date certification, which shall be delivered no later than two Business Days after the Closing Date substantially in the form attached as Exhibit N-1 to this Agreement, (i) each Mortgage Note (or copy thereof, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan) is in its possession and has been reviewed by the Custodian and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Borrower), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan and (ii) each of the documents specified in Section 2.01(a)(ii), Section 2.01(a)(vii), Section 2.01(a)(xi) and Section 2.01(a)(xix) of this Agreement have been received, have been executed, appear to be what they purport to be, purport to be recorded or filed (as applicable) and have not been torn in any materially adverse manner or mutilated or otherwise defaced, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. If the Custodian does not send a closing date certification on the Closing Date, it shall send an email confirmation to the Trustee that it has received all of the Mortgage Notes (or copies or lost note affidavits as permitted), subject to any exceptions noted therein, on the Closing Date.

On or about the 60th day following the Closing Date (and, if any exceptions are noted, again on or about the 90th day following the Closing Date and monthly thereafter until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the day on which all material 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 each Mortgage File and shall certify to each of the Directing Holder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and each Mortgage Loan Seller in the form attached as Exhibit N-2 to this Agreement that all documents (other than documents referred to in clauses (xix) and (xx) of Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, and the documents referred to in clauses (iii), (iv)(B), (v)(B) and (viii)(B) of Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement and the assignments of financing statements referred to in clause (xiii) of

-138-

Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, which shall be delivered for filing or recording by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as provided herein) referred to in Section 2.01(a) above (in the case of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(a)(iv), Section 2.01(a)(vi), Section 2.01(a)(viii), Section 2.01(a)(ix), Section 2.01(a)(x), Section 2.01(a)(xi), Section 2.01(a)(xii) through Section 2.01(a)(xvi) and Section 2.01(a)(xviii) through Section 2.01(a)(xx) of this Agreement, as identified to it in writing as a document required to be delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller) and any original recorded documents included in the delivery of a Mortgage File have been received, have been executed, appear to be what they purport to be, purport to be recorded or filed (as applicable) and have not been torn in any materially adverse manner or mutilated or otherwise defaced, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In so doing, the Custodian may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Custodian shall only be required to certify to each of the Directing Holder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and each Mortgage Loan Seller that the document set forth in Section 2.01(a)(i) has been received, subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.02.

If at the conclusion of such review any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File have not been executed or received, have not been recorded or filed (if required), are unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, appear not to be what they purport to be or have been torn in any materially adverse manner or mutilated or otherwise defaced, the Custodian shall promptly so notify (in the form attached as Exhibit M to this Agreement) the Trustee, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the related Mortgage Loan Seller by providing a written report, setting forth for each affected Mortgage Loan, with particularity, the nature of the defective or missing document. The Depositor shall or shall cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Custodian an executed, recorded or undamaged document, as applicable, or, if the failure to deliver such document in such form constitutes a Material Defect, the Depositor shall cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to cure, repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in the manner provided in Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee shall be responsible for any loss, cost, damage or expense to the Trust Fund resulting from any failure to receive any document constituting a portion of a Mortgage File noted on such a report or for any failure by the Depositor to use its best efforts to deliver any such document.

The Depositor shall cause each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to require the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon written request from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, to deliver a power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the Master Servicer and 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 related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, each of the Mortgage Loan Sellers will be required to effect (at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller) the assignment

-139-

and recordation of its respective Loan Documents until the assignment and recordation of all such Loan Documents has been completed.

In reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to the third preceding paragraph or Section 2.01 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall have no responsibility to cause the Custodian or Trustee to, and the Custodian or Trustee will have no responsibility to, examine any opinions or determine whether any document is legal, valid, binding, sufficient, duly authorized or enforceable, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except, if applicable, to determine if the Trustee is the assignee or endorsee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, or whether any Person executing any document or rendering any opinion is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon is genuine.

The Custodian shall hold that portion of the Trust Fund delivered to the Custodian consisting of “instruments” (as such term is defined in Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in Minnesota on the date hereof) in Minnesota and, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, shall not remove such instruments from Minnesota unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (obtained and delivered at the expense of the Person requesting the removal of such instruments from Minnesota) that if the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee is deemed not to be a sale, after such removal, the Trustee will possess a first priority perfected security interest in such instruments.

(e)          A “Defect” shall exist with respect to a Mortgage Loan if any document constituting a part of the related Mortgage File that is required to be delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller has not been delivered within the time periods provided for in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, has not been properly executed, is missing, does not appear to be regular on its face or contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. A “Breach” shall mean a breach of any representation or warranty of any Mortgage Loan Seller made pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan. If any party hereto discovers or receives notice of a Defect or a Breach, and if such Defect is a Material Defect or such Breach is a Material Breach, as applicable, then such party, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall give prompt written notice thereof (which notice shall be accompanied by a written demand to cure, repurchase or substitute in accordance with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder. If any such Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or any Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, or causes the related Mortgage Loan to be other than a Qualified Mortgage, then such Defect shall constitute a “Material Defect” or such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach,” as the case may be; provided that if any of the documents specified in Section 2.01(a)(i), Section 2.01(a)(ii), Section 2.01(a)(vii), Section 2.01(a)(xi) and Section 2.01(a)(xix) of this Agreement are not delivered as required in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, it shall be deemed a Material Defect. The Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not be required to make any such determination. Promptly

-144-

upon receiving written notice of any such Material Defect or Material Breach with respect to a Mortgage Loan, accompanied by a written demand to take the actions contemplated by this sentence from the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trust Fund, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall, not later than 90 days from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of such notice of such Material Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be (or, in the case of a Material Defect or Material Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, not later than 90 days after the Mortgage Loan Seller or any party hereto discovering such Material Defect or Material Breach, provided that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has received notice in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) (any such 90-day period, the “Initial Resolution Period”), (i) cure the same in all material respects, at its own expense, (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of each of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable portion thereof) or REO Loan at the applicable Purchase Price in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (iii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, as applicable, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that, in no event shall such substitution occur later than the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account) any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith; provided, that if (i) such Material Defect or Material Breach is capable of being cured but not within the Initial Resolution Period or, with respect to the immediately preceding proviso, the time period set forth therein, (ii) such Material Defect or Material Breach is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage, (iii) the Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect or Material Breach within the Initial Resolution Period and (iv) the Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator (who will promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and, other than during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder, an officer’s certificate that describes the reason the cure was not effected within the initial 90-day period, then the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional period equal to the applicable Resolution Extension Period to complete such cure or, failing such cure, to repurchase the Mortgage Loan and the related REO Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable portion thereof) or, if applicable, substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. 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, theatre or fitness center (operated by a Borrower), 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. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligation shall be such Mortgage Loan Seller’s pro rata share based on such Mortgage Loan Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan. With respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan Seller agrees that any Defect as such term is defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than a Defect related to the promissory note for the related Companion Loan) will constitute a Defect under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Material Breach or Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable portion thereof) and such Material Breach or Material Defect will be considered Resolved if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related 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 Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

If a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect or a Material Breach (or an allegation of a Material Defect or a Material Breach) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, only if such Mortgage Loan Seller is not affiliated with the Directing Holder, and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not an applicable Excluded Loan or any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, with the consent of the Directing Holder) (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 3.06(e) of this Agreement. In connection with any such determination with respect to any Performing Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer, but in any event within the time frame and in the manner set forth in Section 3.23, with the Servicing File and all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File) and records (including records stored electronically) relating to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 in order to permit the Special Servicer to calculate the Loss of Value Payment. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Breach or Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Breach or 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 Trust, provided that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Trustee from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect or a Material Breach in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan); (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligation shall be such Mortgage Loan Seller’s pro rata share based on such Mortgage Loan Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan.

If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty to the effect that the related Loan Documents or any particular Loan Document requires the related Borrower to bear the costs

-146-

and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such 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 Fund (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) 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 Fund that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Borrower; provided, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the related 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 Borrower, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Borrower shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligation shall be such Mortgage Loan Seller’s pro rata share based on such Mortgage Loan Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan.

(f)           In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, (A) the Custodian, the Master Servicer (with respect to any Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan) shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller all portions of the Mortgage File (in the case of the Custodian) and the Servicing File (in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it (other than attorney-client communications that are privileged communications), upon delivery (i) to each of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of a trust receipt and (ii) to the Custodian by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of a Request for Release and an acknowledgement by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of its receipt of the Purchase Price or the Substitution Shortfall Amount from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, (B) each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned without recourse in the form of endorsement or assignment provided to the Custodian by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller as shall be necessary to vest in the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such Mortgage Loan to the extent such ownership was transferred to the Trustee (provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate in furnishing necessary information to the extent in its possession to the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with such Mortgage Loan Seller’s preparation of such endorsement or assignment) and (C) the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall release, or cause a release of, any escrow payments and reserve funds held by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, or on the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, behalf, in respect of such Mortgage Loan to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.

-147-

(g)          The Enforcing Servicer shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, use reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under Section 6 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, shall be carried out in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement (with respect to the related Mortgage Loan), out of the related Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount, as applicable, to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and second, if at the conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clause first are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account in each case with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the time such expense was incurred to, but excluding, the date such expense was reimbursed. To the extent the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller prevails in such proceeding, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust for all necessary and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

So long as document exceptions are outstanding, on each anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall prepare and forward to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Directing Holder (as identified to the Custodian by the Certificate Administrator) and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, a document exception report setting forth the then current status of any Defects related to the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans sold by such Mortgage Loan Seller.

As to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties) shall direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Custodian for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (with a copy to the Master Servicer), the related Mortgage File with the related Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01(a)(i) hereof. Periodic Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in or prior to the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and, if received by the Master Servicer, shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to the related Mortgage Loan Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of repurchase or substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Periodic Payment(s) due on the related Removed Mortgage Loan, if and to the extent 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, as applicable, and such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received thereafter in respect of such Removed Mortgage Loan.

In any month in which a Mortgage Loan Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Removed Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall determine the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount and promptly notify the Certificate Administrator thereof. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall direct such Mortgage Loan Seller to deposit into the Collection Account and/or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, cash equal to such amount concurrently with the delivery of the Mortgage Files for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans, without any

-148-

reimbursement thereof. The Certificate Administrator shall also direct such Mortgage Loan Seller to give written notice to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer of such deposit. The Certificate Administrator shall cause its Distribution Date Statement to reflect the removal of each Removed Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

It is understood and agreed that Section 6 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders respecting any Breach (including a Breach with respect to a Mortgage Loan failing to constitute a Qualified Mortgage) or any Defect.

(h)          In the event that any litigation is commenced which alleges facts which, in the judgment of the Depositor, could constitute a breach of any of the Depositor’s representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor hereby reserves the right to conduct the defense of such litigation at its expense and shall not be required to obtain any consent from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Directing Holder, unless such defense results in any liability of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Directing Holder, as applicable.

(i)           If for any reason a Mortgage Loan Seller fails to fulfill its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall use reasonable efforts in enforcing any obligation of such Mortgage Loan Seller (including but not limited to) to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement all at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller.

(j)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for the purposes of Section 2.03 of this Agreement and any provision relating to repurchase and substitution obligations for a Material Breach or Material Defect, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of each of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers to repurchase or substitute such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be limited to a repurchase, substitution or Loss of Value Payment with respect to the Note it sold to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, any cure by either of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers with respect to the Note sold by it to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that also cures the Material Defect or Material Breach with respect to the entire related Joint Mortgage Loan shall satisfy the cure obligations of both Mortgage Loan Sellers with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan.

(k)          (i) In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller alleging the existence of a Material Breach or 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 Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly forward that Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement and take the actions required under

-149-

Section 2.03(e). Subject to Section 2.03(l), the Enforcing Servicer shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to the Certificateholder Repurchase Request. If a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to the Certificateholder Repurchase Request, the provisions described below under Section 2.03(l) 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 Breach or Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, that party shall deliver prompt written notice of such Material Breach or Material Defect to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly forward 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, a “Repurchase Request”). Subject to Section 2.03(l), 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(l) shall apply.

(iii)       In the event the Repurchase Request is not Resolved within 180 days after the Mortgage Loan Seller receives the Repurchase Request (such event, a “Resolution Failure”), and for all purposes herein, such 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 related Mortgage Loan Seller.

(iv)      Within two (2) Business Days after a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a PSA Party Repurchase Request made by any party other than the Special Servicer or a Certificateholder Repurchase Request made by any Certificateholder other than the Trust Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, in each case, related to a Performing 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 (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Performing Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder to the extent set forth hereunder for such Performing 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.

(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 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

-150-

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 is continuing) the Trust Directing Holder regarding any 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 applicable 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 and clearly indicating 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 majority of the responding Certificateholders. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request 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 or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 30 days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation 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

-151-

Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, 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 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 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 Trust 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 Certificateholder, if any, or (b) any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (each of clauses (a) and (b), a “Requesting Certificateholder”; provided that a Holder of the VRR Interest may not be a Requesting Certificateholder), the Enforcing Servicer will be required to consult with each Requesting Certificateholder regarding such Requesting Certificateholder’s intention to elect either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Certificateholder may consider the views of the Enforcing Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than 10 Business Days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date. The Enforcing Servicer 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 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.

(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 is more than one Requesting Certificateholder that timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders will collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders will

-152-

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 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 Breach or Material Defect shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Material Breach or Material Defect shall not be deemed waived with respect 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 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(l) will 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; 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 Trust Directing Holder for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. For the avoidance of doubt, the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers and any of their respective Affiliates shall not be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder.

(viii)   The Requesting Certificateholder is entitled to elect either mediation or arbitration in its sole discretion; however, the Requesting Certificateholder may not elect to then utilize the alternative method in the event that the initial method is unsuccessful.

(ix)      If (i) a Repurchase Request is made with respect to any Mortgage Loan based on any particular alleged Material Breach or Material Defect, (ii) a Resolution Failure is deemed to occur with respect to such Repurchase Request, and (iii) if either (A) a mediation or arbitration is undertaken with respect to such Repurchase Request or (B) the Certificateholders and Certificate Owners cease to have a right to refer such Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, in either case in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may make any subsequent

-153-

Repurchase Request with respect to such Mortgage Loan based on the same alleged Material Breach or Material Defect unless there is a material change in the facts and circumstances known to such party.

(x)         The Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Seller and any of their respective Affiliates shall not be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder.

(m)         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 related Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with published mediation procedures promulgated by a nationally recognized mediation services provider selected by the Mortgage Loan Seller (such provider, the “Meditation 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 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 qualified 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.

(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 in accordance with published arbitration procedures promulgated by a nationally recognized arbitration services provider selected by the Mortgage Loan Seller (such provider, 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 commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters or

-154-

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 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

-155-

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 selecting 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:

(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 it 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).

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.

(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 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 proceedings shall be determined by such Enforcing Servicer in consultation with the Trust Directing Holder, provided that a Consultation Termination Event is not 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.

(vii)    For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the exercise of any right of a Requesting Certificateholder 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 the Trust Directing Holder (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).

(viii)   For the avoidance of doubt, any expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in mediation or arbitration or related responsibilities under this Agreement shall be reimbursable as Additional Trust Fund Expenses.

The Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s liability for actions and omissions in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder is limited as provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof). To the extent consistent with the foregoing and subject to any express limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer of the collectability of the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans.

Any such Sub-Servicing Agreement may permit the Sub-Servicer to delegate its duties to agents or Subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or Subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.01(c) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such agent or Subcontractor is a Prohibited Party, if such agent or Subcontractor would be a Servicing Function Participant, at the time the related sub-servicing agreement is entered into). Any monies received by a Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing agreement (other than sub-servicing fees) shall be deemed to be received by the Master Servicer on the date received by such Sub-Servicer.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by the Trustee (in its sole discretion, but must be assumed with respect to any Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer is not in default under the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement) if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, or any successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the assuming party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by such party of the obligations, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.02 (it being understood that any such obligations shall be the obligations of the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, only).

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans involving a Sub-Servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such Sub-Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights (except as

-169-

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement as to which a Mortgage Loan Seller required the Master Servicer to enter into shall provide that the Master Servicer (and any successor Master Servicer) or Trustee may only terminate the related Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer for cause pursuant to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and as otherwise specified in such Sub-Servicing Agreement.

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 the consent of the Directing Holder for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer and each Sub-Servicer that it retains under a related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer to comply with Article X hereof. 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 Loan Documents, without the consent of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. The Master Servicer’s consent may also be required for certain other servicing decisions as provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(d)          If the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer, or if the Trustee or any successor Special Servicer assumes the obligations of the Special Servicer, in each case in accordance with Section 7.02, the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, to carry out the provisions of Section 7.02, shall, without act or deed on the part of the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.01(c). In such event, such successor shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s interest, as applicable, therein (but not any liabilities or obligations in respect of acts or omissions of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, prior to such deemed assumption) and to have replaced the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a party to such Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to such successor, except that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement that accrued prior to the succession of such successor.

If the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then upon request of such successor, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall

-170-

at its own expense (except (i) in the event that the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 3.22(b), at the expense of the Certificateholders effecting such termination, as applicable; or (ii) in the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 6.04(c), at the expense of the Trust) deliver to such successor all documents and records relating to any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and/or the Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable, then being serviced hereunder or thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it, if any, and shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any Sub-Servicing Agreement to such successor. The Master Servicer shall not be required to assume the obligations of the Special Servicer and nothing in this paragraph shall imply otherwise.

(e)          The parties hereto acknowledge that each Whole Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, further subject to the servicing under and all other terms and conditions of the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The parties hereto further recognize the respective rights and obligations of each Companion Loan Noteholder under the related Intercreditor Agreement, including, without limitation with respect to (A) the allocation of collections (and all other amounts received in connection with the related Whole Loan) on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan and (B) the allocation of Default Interest on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan.

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 the Serviced Whole Loans are limited by and subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the rights of the Other Servicer and the Other Special Servicer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard, enforce the rights of the Trustee (as holder of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Serviced Whole Loan and any related REO Property are being serviced and administered under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Other Servicer will make any Servicing Advances required thereunder in respect of such Non-Serviced Whole Loan and remit collections on the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan to or on behalf of the Trust. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any obligation or authority to supervise the related Other Servicer, the related Other Special Servicer or the related Other Trustee or to make Servicing Advances with respect to any such Non-Serviced Whole Loan. Although each Non-Serviced Whole Loan is being serviced under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Directing Holder may have certain information and consultation rights relating to the servicing of the Non-Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any obligation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to provide information and collections to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and collections from the related Other Servicer or the related Other Special Servicer. Nothing herein shall be deemed to override the provisions of an Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the rights of the related noteholders thereunder and with respect to the servicing and administrative duties and obligations with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loans. In the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy

-171-

between the provisions, terms or conditions of an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and the provisions, terms or conditions of this Agreement, the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

If any Mortgage Loan included in any Serviced Whole Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund and the servicing and administration of such Serviced Whole Loan is to be governed by a separate servicing agreement and not by this Agreement, the Master Servicer and, if such Serviced Whole Loan is then being specially serviced hereunder, the Special Servicer, shall continue to act in such capacities under such separate servicing agreement, which agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except that such Serviced Whole Loan and the related Mortgaged Property shall be serviced as if they were the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder and except that there shall be no further obligation of any Person to make P&I Advances. All amounts due the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Special Servicer (including Advances and interest thereon) pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall be paid to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Special Servicer by the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or as an Additional Trust Fund Expense on the first Master Servicer Remittance Date following termination. In addition, until such time as a separate servicing agreement with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan and any related Serviced REO Property has been entered into and, notwithstanding that neither such Mortgage Loan nor any related Serviced REO Property is part of the Trust Fund, the Custodian shall continue to hold the Mortgage File and the Master Servicer and, if applicable, the Special Servicer shall (subject to the preceding sentence) continue to service such Serviced Whole Loan or any related Serviced REO Property, as the case may be, under this Agreement as if it were a separate servicing agreement; provided that, 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. Nothing herein shall be deemed to override the provisions of an Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the rights of the related noteholders thereunder and with respect to the servicing and administrative duties and obligations with respect to such Serviced Whole Loans. In the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy between the provisions, terms or conditions of an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Serviced Whole Loan and the provisions, terms or conditions of this Agreement, the related Intercreditor

-172-

Agreement shall govern, and as to any matter on which such Intercreditor Agreement is silent or makes reference to this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.

Section 3.02       Liability of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer When Sub-Servicing. Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and any Person acting as 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee (on behalf of the Certificateholders), the Certificateholders and, with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Depositor or any other 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any sub-servicer providing for indemnification of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan Payments. The Master Servicer (with respect to all the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans (other than Specially Serviced Loans) that the Master Servicer is servicing) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall use reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans each is obligated to service hereunder, and shall follow the Servicing Standard with respect to such collection procedures; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectability of the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans; provided, further, that with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable, that have Anticipated Repayment Dates, so long as the related Borrower is in compliance with each provision of the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer (including the Special Servicer in its capacity as a Certificateholder, if applicable) shall not take any enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Borrower to make any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests for collection, until the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, or the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, has been paid in full, however, consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer, or the Special Servicer each may in its discretion waive the Excess Interest (even at the final maturity date) in connection with any Mortgage Loan it is obligated to service hereunder if taking such action is in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole. With respect to each Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to collect income statements and rent rolls from Borrowers as required by the Loan Documents and the terms hereof. The Master Servicer shall

-173-

provide at least 90 days’ notice (with a copy to the Special Servicer) to the Borrowers of Balloon Payments coming due on Performing Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer (with respect to each Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) may in their discretion waive any late payment charge or Default Interest it is entitled to receive in connection with any delinquent Periodic Payment or Balloon Payment with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that it is servicing. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to take such actions with respect to the collection of payments on the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans as are permitted or required under this Agreement.

Section 3.04         Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer, in the case of all Serviced Mortgage Loans that it is servicing, shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto. With respect to each Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to collect income statements and rent rolls from Borrowers as required by the Loan Documents. The Special Servicer, in the case of Serviced REO Loans, and the Master Servicer, in the case of all Serviced Mortgage Loans that it is servicing, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to, from time to time, (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) effect, or, if the Special Servicer, to use reasonable efforts to cause the Master Servicer to 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 Loan Documents for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan. If a Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan fails to make any such payment on a timely basis or collections from the Borrower 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 Servicing Advance unless the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (provided that with respect to advancing insurance premiums or delinquent tax assessments the Master Servicer shall comply with the provisions of the second to last paragraph in Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Servicing Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, that it makes pursuant to this Section 3.04 of this Agreement from amounts received on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan respecting which such Advance was made or if such Advance has become a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this Agreement. 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 or Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans or Serviced Companion Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans or Serviced Companion Loans so permit.

Any Gain-on-Sale Proceeds shall be identified separately from any other amounts held in the Collection Account (with amounts attributable to each Class or Classes and any Serviced Companion Loan also identified separately).

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, payments in the nature of late payment charges (subject to Section 3.12 and the related Intercreditor Agreement), Assumption Fees, assumption application fees, Modification Fees and consent fees, loan service transaction fees, defeasance fees, extension fees, demand fees, beneficiary statement charges and similar fees need not be deposited in the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable in accordance with Section 3.12 hereof, shall be entitled to retain any such charges and fees received with respect to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing as additional compensation.

If 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.

Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i), (ii), (v) and (vi) above with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan which is not a Serviced REO Loan, the Special Servicer shall remit such amounts within one Business Day after receipt thereof (except, if such amounts are not properly identified, the Special Servicer shall promptly identify such amounts and

-178-

shall remit such amounts within one Business Day after such identification) to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account in accordance with the second paragraph of this Section 3.05 of this Agreement, 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.

The Special Servicer shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund all Loss of Value Payments received by it and shall remit or apply as set forth in Section 3.06(e). The Certificate Administrator shall 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 or the Grantor Trust. 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

-179-

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 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 Loss of Value Reserve Fund for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon.

(e)          The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Interest Reserve Account in its own name for the benefit of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates) and the Trustee as the Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

If the Certificate Administrator shall deposit in the Interest Reserve Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Interest Reserve Account any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. On or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date in March of each calendar year (or in February if the final Distribution Date will occur in such month), the Certificate Administrator shall transfer to the Lower-Tier Distribution Account the aggregate of all Withheld Amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

(f)           The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Upper-Tier Distribution Account in its own name for the benefit of the Trustee and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates).

The Master Servicer shall pay to the Special Servicer from the Collection Account amounts permitted to be paid to it therefrom promptly upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer is entitled. The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate and shall have no duty to re-calculate the amounts stated therein. The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting for each Specially Serviced Loan and Serviced REO Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, on a loan-by-loan and, if appropriate, property-by-property basis, for the purpose of justifying any request for withdrawal from the Collection Account.

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting records, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, reflecting amounts allocable to each Mortgage Loan, and on a property-by-property basis when appropriate, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal, debit or credit from the Collection Account or the Trust Ledger. Upon written request, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator such records and any other information in the possession of the Master Servicer to enable the Certificate Administrator to determine the

-192-

amounts attributable to (i) the Lower-Tier REMIC with respect to the Mortgage Loans, (ii) the Excess Interest and (iii) the Companion Loans.

The Master Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Special Servicer, the Other Trustee, the Other Servicer or the Other Special Servicer, from the Collection Account amounts permitted to be paid to such Person therefrom, promptly upon receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a responsible officer of the Other Trustee, a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator, a certificate of an officer of the Operating Advisor, a certificate of an officer of the Asset Representations Reviewer, a certificate of a Servicing Officer or a certificate of the Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer, as applicable, describing the item and amount to which such Person is entitled (unless such payment to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Special Servicer, the Other Trustee, the Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer, as the case may be, is specifically required pursuant to this Agreement and the timing and the amount of payment is specified in, or calculable pursuant to, this Agreement, in which case a certificate is not required). The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate and shall have no duty to recalculate the amounts stated therein.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, CREFC^®, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Providers (to the extent specified in Section 12.12) shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on deposit in the Collection Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of the Servicing Compensation (including investment income), Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees, Special Servicing Compensation (including investment income), the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee, the Operating Advisor Fees, Operating Advisor Consulting Fees (but only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fees are actually received from the Borrowers), the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee (to the extent owed by the Trust pursuant to Section 11.02(c) of this Agreement), Advances, Advance Interest Amounts, their respective indemnification payments (if any) pursuant to Section 6.03, Section 8.05 or Section 12.02 of this Agreement (for each of such Persons other than CREFC^®), their respective expenses hereunder to the extent such fees and expenses are to be reimbursed or paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any fees or expenses (including legal fees) for which a party is to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.03 herein may be submitted directly to the Trust Fund and paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on behalf of such party pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on deposit in the Collection Account from time to time for the reimbursement and payment of any federal, state or local taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC.

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 (or with respect to Servicing Advances, the Serviced Whole 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

-193-

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) or Section 3.06(b) of this Agreement immediately, may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the Collection Period ending on the then-current Determination Date for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed 12 months (with the consent of the Directing Holder, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, for any deferral in excess of 6 months). 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 discretion to elect 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 (in its sole discretion) to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable, to be received before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance (or portion thereof) until the end of such Collection Period; provided that the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to give notice of its election to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), at least 15 days prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Trustee determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer or the Trustee 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 Trustee has not timely received from the Certificate Administrator information requested by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause (1), (2) or (3) apply, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall give 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 to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement). Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any notice provided to each Rating Agency contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.

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 3.06(a) or to comply with the terms of this Section 3.06(a) and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it should recover the Nonrecoverable Advances without deferral as described

-194-

above, 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 Accounts for such Distribution Date. 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, election to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and, as applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders 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 Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders 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). 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 neither the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this Section 3.06(a) or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election.

None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be permitted to reverse any other Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that an Advance constitutes, or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

If the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Provider, as applicable, is reimbursed out of general collections for any unreimbursed Advances that are determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances (together with any Advance Interest Amount), then (for purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates) such reimbursement and payment of interest shall be deemed to have been made: first, out of the Principal Distribution Amount, which, but for its application to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to pay the Advance Interest Amount, would be included in Available Funds for any subsequent Distribution Date and, second, out of other amounts which, but for their application to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to pay the Advance Interest Amount, would be included in Available Funds for any subsequent Distribution Date.

If and to the extent that any payment is deemed to be applied as contemplated in the paragraph above to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance or to pay the Advance Interest Amount, then the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date shall be reduced, to not less than zero, by the amount of such reimbursement. If and to the extent (i) any Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) such Advance and/or the Advance Interest Amount is reimbursed out of the Principal Distribution Amount as contemplated above and (iii) the particular item for which such Advance was originally made is subsequently collected out of payments or other collections in respect of the related Mortgage Loan, then the Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date that corresponds to the Collection Period in which

-195-

such item was recovered shall be increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of such item and (B) any previous reduction in the Principal Distribution Amount for a prior Distribution Date as contemplated in the paragraph above resulting from the reimbursement of the subject Advance and/or the payment of the Advance Interest Amount.

(b)          The Master Servicer shall maintain a separate Trust Ledger with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan that it is servicing on which it shall make ledger entries as to amounts deposited (or credited) or withdrawn (or debited) with respect thereto. On each Master Servicer Remittance Date (or such other date as may be specified below or on which funds are available for such purpose as specified below), with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall make withdrawals from amounts allocated thereto in the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account (and may debit the Trust Ledger) for any of the following purposes (the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):

(i)           to make remittances each month in an aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal to the allocable portion of the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Amount (A) to the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders within the time frame specified in, and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.05(h) and (B) to the Collection Account for the benefit of the Trust in respect of amounts allocable to the related Mortgage Loan, in each case in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (after taking into account the amounts permitted to be withdrawn from the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account pursuant to this Section 3.06(b)); provided that Liquidation Proceeds relating to the repurchase of any Serviced Companion Loan by the related seller thereof shall be remitted solely to the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, as the case may be, and Liquidation Proceeds relating to the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan by the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be remitted solely to the Collection Account;

(ii)          to pay (A) to itself unpaid Servicing Fees (or, with respect to any Excess Servicing Fee Rights, to pay any Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Rights pursuant to Section 3.12(a) of this Agreement) and to the Special Servicer unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees in respect of such Serviced Whole Loan or related Serviced REO Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, rights to payment of Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees, as applicable, pursuant to this clause (ii)(A) with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan or related Serviced REO Loan, as applicable, being limited to amounts received on or in respect of such Serviced Whole Loan (whether in the form of payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds), or such Serviced REO Loan (whether in the form of REO Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds), that are allocable as recovery of interest thereon and (B) to the Special Servicer, each month to the extent not covered by clause (ii)(A) above, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees in respect of such Serviced Whole Loan or related Serviced REO Loan, as applicable, remaining unpaid out of general collections in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement;

(iii)         to reimburse the Trustee or itself, in that order, for unreimbursed P&I Advances with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan and to reimburse the related

-196-

Serviced Companion Loan Service Provider for unreimbursed principal and/or interest advances with respect to the applicable Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer’s, the Trustee’s and the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Service Provider’s right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (iii) being limited to amounts received in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account which represent Late Collections received in respect of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable (as allocable thereto pursuant to the related Loan Documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement), during the applicable period; provided that to the extent such amounts are insufficient to repay such P&I Advances on any Mortgage Loan as to which there is a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, such P&I Advances may be reimbursed, from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan allocable to such Subordinate Companion Loan; provided, further, that if such P&I Advance on the applicable Mortgage Loan becomes a Nonrecoverable Advance or a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, then such P&I Advance shall thereafter be reimbursed in accordance with clause (v) below;

(iv)         to reimburse the Trustee, the Special Servicer or itself, in that order, as applicable (with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced REO Property), for unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan or related Serviced REO Property, the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s respective rights to receive payment pursuant to this clause (iv) being limited to, as applicable, related payments by the applicable Borrower with respect to such Servicing Advance, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds and REO Proceeds with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan; provided that if such Servicing Advance becomes a Nonrecoverable Advance or a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, then such Servicing Advance shall thereafter be reimbursed in accordance with clause (v) below;

(v)          (A) to reimburse the Trustee or itself, in that order, (with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan or related REO Property), as applicable (x) with respect to Nonrecoverable Advances, first, out of Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and REO Proceeds received on the related Serviced Whole Loan and related REO Properties, and second, out of general collections in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06(a) and (y) with respect to the Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts, first, out of the principal portion of the general collections on the Serviced Whole Loan and related REO Properties, net of such amounts being reimbursed pursuant to the subclause first in the preceding clause (x) above and second out of general collections in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06(a); provided that in the case of both clause (x) and clause (y) of this clause (v), prior to making any reimbursement from general collections, such reimbursements shall be made first, from collections on, and proceeds of the applicable Subordinate Companion Loan, if any, and then from collections on, and proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan, or in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan with a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, on a pro rata basis as between the Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans (based on the Mortgage Loan’s Stated Principal Balance or related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan’s principal balance) and then from general collections of the Trust (provided that, in the case of a Servicing Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, (i) promptly notify the related Companion Loan Noteholder and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts

to exercise on behalf of the Trust any rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the related Serviced Companion Loans from the related Companion Loan Noteholders) or (B) to pay itself or the Special Servicer out of general collections on such Serviced Whole Loan and related REO Properties, any related earned Servicing Fee, Special Servicing Fee, Liquidation Fee or Workout Fee, as applicable, that remained unpaid in accordance with clause (ii) above following a Final Recovery Determination made with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan or related REO Property and the deposit into the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account of all amounts received in connection therewith; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such party’s rights to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (v) with respect to any such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount that is a P&I Advance, being limited (except to the extent set forth in Section 3.06(a)) to amounts on deposit in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account that were received in respect of the particular Mortgage Loan (as allocable thereto pursuant to the related Loan Documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement) in the related Serviced Whole Loan as to which such Nonrecoverable Advance or such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount were incurred (provided that to the extent such amounts are insufficient to repay such Advances on any Mortgage Loan as to which there is a related Subordinate Companion Loan, such P&I Advances may be reimbursed from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan allocable to such Subordinate Companion Loan);

(vi)         at such time as it reimburses the Trustee or itself, in that order, as applicable, for (A) any unreimbursed P&I Advance with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan (including any such Advance that constitutes a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) or any unreimbursed principal and/or interest advance with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan pursuant to clause (iii) above, to pay itself, the Trustee or such Serviced Companion Loan Service Provider, as applicable, any Advance Interest Amounts accrued and payable thereon, (B) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances (including any such Advance that constitutes a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) pursuant to clause (iv) above, to pay itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, any Advance Interest Amounts accrued and payable thereon or (C) any Nonrecoverable Advances pursuant to clause (v) above, to pay itself, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or any Serviced Companion Loan Service Provider, as the case may be, any Advance Interest Amounts accrued and payable thereon, with such amounts payable in the case of clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, first, from Penalty Charges pursuant to Section 3.12(d), then, from collections on, and proceeds of the applicable Subordinate Companion Loan, if any, and then, from collections on, and proceeds of on a pro rata basis as between the Mortgage Loan and any related other Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans (based on the Mortgage Loan’s Stated Principal Balance or related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan’s principal balance), provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such party’s rights to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (vi) with respect to any such interest on P&I Advances (including any such P&I Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) being limited to amounts on deposit in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account that were received in respect of the particular Mortgage Loan (as allocable thereto pursuant to the related Loan Documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement) in the related Serviced Whole Loan as to which such advance relates (provided that any Mortgage Loan as to which there is a related Subordinate

The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting for each Specially Serviced Loan included in the Serviced Whole Loan and related REO Loan, on a loan-by-loan and, if appropriate, property-by-property basis, for the purpose of justifying any request for withdrawal from any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account.

(c)          On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, all net income and gain realized from investment of funds to which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is entitled pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

(d)          With respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, if amounts required to pay the expenses allocable to any related Serviced Companion Loan exceed amounts on deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may seek reimbursement from the Trust Fund with respect to such expenses allocable to such Serviced Companion Loan. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall seek (on behalf of the Trust Fund, subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement) payment or reimbursement from the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, if any, and then for the pro rata portion of such expenses allocable to a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan from the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or, if such Serviced Companion Loan has been deposited into a securitization, out of general collections in the collection account established pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(e)          If any Loss of Value Payments are deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund with respect to any Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced REO Property, then the Special

(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 Serviced REO Property that constitutes or, if not paid out of such Loss of Value Payments, would constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense;

(iii)         to offset any portion of Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses 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 or related Serviced REO Property, 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 and VRR Realized Losses, that are attributable to such Mortgage Loan or related 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 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 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.

(a) The Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account, and any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account and any Borrower Accounts (as defined below and

-204-

subject to the second succeeding sentence)), the Special Servicer (with respect to any REO Account and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund) and the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account and the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, any Borrower Accounts, any REO Account, any Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Interest Reserve Account and the Distribution Accounts (each such 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 investment of funds on deposit in an Investment Account by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be documented in writing and shall provide evidence that such 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, Lock-Box Account, Cash Collateral Account or Reserve Account (the “Borrower Accounts”), the Master Servicer shall act upon the written request of the related Borrower or Manager to the extent that the Master Servicer is required to do so under the terms of the respective Loan Documents, provided that in the absence of appropriate written instructions from the related Borrower 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 (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Certificate Administrator shall have sole control (except with respect to investment direction which shall be in the control of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, with respect to any REO Accounts, as an independent contractor to the Trust Fund) over each such investment and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which shall initially be the Master Servicer), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Borrower 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 directions of the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, any Borrower 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 directions of the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, any Borrower or 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 or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable) 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

-205-

(y)          demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable) that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment Account.

(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 Borrower Account, which shall be for the benefit of the related Borrower to the extent required under the related Loan Documents for the Mortgage Loan or applicable law, (ii) any REO Account and the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, which shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer or (iii) the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Distribution Accounts, which shall be for the benefit of the Certificate Administrator) and, if held in the Collection Account, any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, REO Account or Distribution Account shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.06 or Section 3.15(b) of this Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer, or with respect to any REO Account or Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Special Servicer, or with respect to the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account or the Distribution Accounts, the Certificate Administrator, shall deposit from its own funds into the Collection Account, applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, any REO Account or Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account or the Distribution Accounts, as applicable, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss; provided that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, 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 Borrower Account immediately upon realization of such loss the amount of any loss incurred in respect of Permitted Investments, except to the extent that amounts are invested at the direction of or for the benefit of the Borrower under the terms of the related Loan Documents for the Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or applicable law; 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 has satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at the time the investment was made and (y) 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, in either case as a result of an action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, the Trustee 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. If the Trustee takes any such action, (i) the Master Servicer, if such Permitted Investment was for the benefit of the Master Servicer, (ii) the Special Servicer, if such Permitted Investment was for the benefit of the Special Servicer or (iii) the Certificate Administrator, if such

-206-

Permitted Investment was for the benefit of the Certificate Administrator, 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.

Section 3.08   Maintenance of Insurance Policies and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) In the case of each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable (but excluding any REO Loan), the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Borrower, with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans that it is servicing, to maintain the following insurance coverage (including identifying the extent to which such Borrower is maintaining insurance coverage and, if such Borrower does not so maintain, the Master Servicer will itself cause to be maintained with Qualified Insurers) for the related Mortgaged Property: (x) except where the Loan Documents permit a Borrower to rely on self-insurance provided by a tenant, a fire and casualty extended coverage insurance policy, which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full replacement cost of improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and (ii) the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause and (y) all other insurance coverage (including, but not limited to, coverage for acts of terrorism) that is required, subject to applicable law, under the related Loan Documents; provided that:

(i)           the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property unless the Trustee has an insurable interest and (x) such insurance policy was in effect at the time of the origination of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, or (y) such insurance policy was required by the related Loan Documents and is available at commercially reasonable rates, provided that the Master Servicer shall require the related Borrower to maintain such insurance in the amount, in the case of clause (x), maintained at origination, and in the case of clause (y), required by such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, in each case, to the extent such amounts are available at commercially reasonable rates and to the extent the Trustee has an insurable interest;

(ii)          if and to the extent that any Loan Document grants the lender thereunder any discretion (by way of consent, approval or otherwise) as to the insurance provider from whom the related Borrower is to obtain the requisite insurance coverage, the Master Servicer shall (to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard) require the related Borrower to obtain the requisite insurance coverage from Qualified Insurers;

(iii)        the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause any Borrower to maintain the insurance required to be maintained under the Loan Documents; provided that this clause shall not limit the Master Servicer’s obligation to obtain and maintain a force-placed insurance policy, as provided herein;

(iv)         except as provided below (including under clause (vi) below), in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to cause the Borrower to maintain, or itself obtain,

-207-

insurance coverage to the extent that the failure of such Borrower to maintain insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as determined by the Special Servicer);

(v)          to the extent that the Master Servicer itself is required to maintain insurance that the Borrower does not maintain, the Master Servicer will not be required to maintain insurance other than what is available to the Master Servicer on a force-placed basis at commercially reasonable rates, and only to the extent the Trust as lender has an insurable interest thereon; and

(vi)         any explicit terrorism insurance requirements contained in the related Loan Documents shall be enforced by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard (unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with the consent of, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder, and after non-binding consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties and the Operating Advisor pursuant to Section 6.07, has consented to a waiver (including a waiver to permit the Master Servicer to accept insurance that does not comply with specific requirements contained in the Loan Documents) in writing of that provision in accordance with the Servicing Standard); provided that the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Special Servicer, or the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer, as applicable, in writing of such waiver.

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 Holder or to consult with a Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Borrower to maintain such insurance and neither shall 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.

With respect to each CREFI Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall not permit the related Borrower to maintain a “Non-Conforming Policy” (as such term is defined in the related Loan Agreement) unless a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained.

The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Directing Holder if the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that a Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan has failed to maintain insurance required under the Loan Documents and such failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders or if a Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan has notified the Master Servicer in writing that the Borrower does not intend to maintain such insurance and that the Master Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

Subject to Section 3.15(b) of this Agreement, with respect to each Serviced REO Property, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts and only if the Trustee has an insurable interest, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to maintain (subject to the right of the Special Servicer to direct the Master Servicer to make a Servicing Advance for the costs associated with coverage that the Special Servicer determines to maintain, in which case the Master Servicer shall make such Servicing Advance) with Qualified Insurers to the extent reasonably available at

-208-

commercially reasonable rates and to the extent the Trustee has an insurable interest, (a) a fire and casualty extended coverage insurance policy, which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of the full replacement value of the Mortgaged Property or the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, Serviced REO Loan or the Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable (or such greater amount of coverage required by the related Loan Documents (unless such amount is not available or, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder has consented to a lower amount)), but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause, (b) a comprehensive general liability insurance policy with coverage comparable to that which would be required under prudent lending requirements and in an amount not less than $1.0 million per occurrence, and (c) to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, a business interruption or rental loss insurance covering revenues or rents for a period of at least 12 months; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required in any event to maintain or obtain insurance coverage described in this paragraph beyond what is reasonably available at a commercially reasonable rate and consistent with the Servicing Standard, and in no case will any such insurance be an expense of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations.

All such insurance policies maintained as described above shall contain (if they insure against loss to property) a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer (on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), or shall name the Trustee as the insured, with loss payable to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (on behalf of Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of an REO Property). Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or Serviced REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Borrower, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Collection Account (or, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account), subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, in the case of amounts received in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, or in the applicable REO Account of the Special Servicer, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.15 of this Agreement, in the case of amounts received in respect of a Serviced REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders or Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan so permit; provided that this sentence shall not limit the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund to enforce any obligations of the related Borrower under such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan. Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance policies in respect of the Mortgage Loans or Specially Serviced Loans (other than REO Properties) (i) if the Borrower defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance and will be charged to the related Borrower and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by the

-209-

Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance policies with respect to Serviced REO Properties shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (and in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement) payable out of the related REO Account (or Serviced Whole Loan REO Account, as applicable) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (or paid from the Collection Account if the Master Servicer determines such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, subject to Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement).

(b)          If either:

(x) the Master Servicer or Special Servicer obtains and maintains, or causes to be obtained and maintained, a blanket policy or master force-placed policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans or Serviced REO Properties, as applicable, then, to the extent such policy

(i)      is obtained from a Qualified Insurer, and

(ii)     provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, or

(y) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or, in each case, its corporate parent), as applicable, has long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts that are rated not lower than “A-” or its equivalent by S&P, “A-” by Fitch and its equivalent by KBRA (if then rated by KBRA) and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer self-insures for its obligation to maintain the individual policies otherwise required,

then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or Serviced REO Properties, as applicable.

Such a blanket or master force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause (not in excess of a customary amount), in which case the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, that maintains such policy shall, if there shall not have been maintained on any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced REO Property thereunder a hazard insurance policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, and there shall have been one or more losses that would have been covered by such an individual policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account (or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, in the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account), from its own funds, the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket or master force-placed policy in connection with such loss or losses because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan or the related Serviced Whole Loan (or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation for an individual policy which is consistent with the Servicing Standard). The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, Certificateholders and, if applicable the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, claims under any such blanket or master force-placed policy maintained by it in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, causes any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced

-210-

Mortgage Loan or Serviced REO Property to be covered by such “force-placed” insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or Serviced REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or Serviced REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid as a Servicing Advance.

(c)          With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer to such effect and the Master Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder. With respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and Serviced REO Property that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, such Special Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust, on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (giving due regard to the junior nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan, if any), is entitled thereunder. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy described above (whether by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer) shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

(d)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which Specially Serviced Loans and/or Serviced REO Properties as to which it is the Special Servicer are included in the Trust Fund) keep in force with a Qualified Insurer, a fidelity bond in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as the case may be. Such fidelity bond shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent if such insurance is guaranteed by its parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent), as applicable, are rated not lower than “A-” or its equivalent by S&P, “A-” by Fitch and its equivalent by KBRA (if then rated by KBRA)), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may self-insure with respect to the fidelity bond coverage required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage.

The Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which Specially Serviced Loans and/or Serviced REO Properties exist as part of the Trust Fund) also keep in force with a Qualified Insurer a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection

-211-

with their servicing obligations hereunder, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provisions if an Affiliate thereof has such insurance and, by the terms of such policy or policies, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be. Any such errors and omissions policy shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent if such insurance is guaranteed by its parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent), as applicable, are rated not lower than “A-” or its equivalent by S&P, “A-” by Fitch and its equivalent by KBRA (if then rated by KBRA), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may self-insure with respect to the errors and omissions coverage required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage.

Section 3.09   Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Defeasance Provisions. (a) If any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause (including, without limitation, sales or transfers of Mortgaged Properties (in full or part) or the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in the Borrower or its owners), which by its terms:

(i)           provides that such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan will (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 (including, without limitation, the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in the Borrower or its owners),

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

(iii)         provides that such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of the mortgagee, provided certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,

then, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), to the extent such action is not a Special Servicer Major Decision) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and, to the extent such action is a Special Servicer Major Decision, Performing Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans)) shall determine, in each case 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 Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole 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, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain, other than during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 (or (1) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but other than during a Consultation Termination Event and (2) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, upon

-212-

consultation with the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.07 and (ii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing such action, prior to consenting to such action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan that (1) represents more than 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (2) has a Stated Principal Balance that is more than $35,000,000, (3) represents one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans or groups of cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans based on Stated Principal Balance and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, or (4) is a Mortgage Loan as to which the related Serviced Companion Loan (A) represents one of the ten largest mortgage loans in the related Other Securitization based on outstanding principal balance and has an outstanding principal balance of at least $10,000,000, (B) represents more than 5% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loans then outstanding in the related Other Securitization and has an outstanding principal balance of at least $10,000,000 or (C) has an outstanding principal balance that is more than $35,000,000 (provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to request and reasonably rely upon the written notification provided by the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or certificate administrator of the applicable Other Securitization as to whether any condition in clause (4)(A) or (B) is met, or if no timely response is received, entitled to reasonably rely on the most recent CREFC® reports related to the applicable Other Securitization).

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing such action shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Directing Holder, as applicable) the original copy of such agreement, which copies shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. To the extent not precluded by the Loan Documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall approve an assumption or substitution without requiring the related Borrower to pay any fees owed to the Rating Agencies associated with the approval of such assumption or substitution. However, if the related Borrower is required but fails to pay such fees, such fees shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (and in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, to (i) promptly notify the holder of the related Companion Loan and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust Fund the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the related Companion Loan from the holders of such Companion Loan.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan relating to the Directing Holder, 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 6.07 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

-213-

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

(i)      provides that such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the borrower (including, unless specifically permitted, any mezzanine financing of the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in the Borrower or its owners),

(ii)     requires the consent of the related mortgagee to the creation of any such lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, any mezzanine financing of the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in the Borrower or its owners), or

(iii)    provides that such Mortgaged Property may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee (including, without limitation, any mezzanine financing of the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in the Borrower or its owners), provided certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,

then, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), to the extent such action is not a Special Servicer Major Decision) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and, to the extent such action is a Special Servicer Major Decision, Performing Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans)) shall determine, in each case 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 Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole 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 itself taking such an action, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain, other than during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 (or (1) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event and (2) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.07 and (ii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing such action, prior to consenting to such action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan that (1) represents more than 2% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding, (2) has a Stated Principal Balance that is more than $35,000,000, (3) represents one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans or groups of cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans based on Stated Principal Balance, (4) has an aggregate loan-to-value ratio (including any existing and proposed additional debt) that is equal to or greater than 85%, (5) has an aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, any existing additional debt and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) that is less than 1.20x or (6) is a Mortgage Loan as to which the related Serviced Companion Loan (A) represents one of the ten largest mortgage

-214-

loans in the related Other Securitization based on outstanding principal balance, (B) represents more than 2% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loans then outstanding in the related Other Securitization or (C) has an outstanding principal balance that is more than $35,000,000 (provided that the Special Servicer shall be entitled to request and reasonably rely upon the written notification provided by the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or certificate administrator of the applicable Other Securitization as to whether any condition in clause (6)(A) or (B) is met, or if no timely response is received, entitled to reasonably rely on the most recent CREFC® reports related to the applicable Other Securitization); provided that with respect to clauses (1), (3), (4) and (5), such Mortgage Loan shall have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for the requirement of a Rating Agency Confirmation to apply.

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing such action shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that the creation of any lien or other encumbrance has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Directing Holder, as applicable) the original copy (if available, and otherwise, a copy) of the document creating such lien or encumbrance, which copies shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. To the extent not precluded by the Loan Documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall approve the creation of any lien or other encumbrance without requiring the related Borrower to pay any fees owed to the Rating Agencies associated with the approval of such lien or encumbrance. However, if the related Borrower is required but fails to pay such fees, such fees shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (and in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, to (i) promptly notify the holder of the related Companion Loan and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust Fund the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the related Companion Loan from the holders of such Companion Loan.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan relating to the Directing Holder, 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 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 6.07 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

(c)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, 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 relating to any Mortgage Loan without, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, the consent of the Directing Holder. The Directing Holder shall have 10 Business Days (or longer period provided by the related Intercreditor Agreement) after receipt of notice along with the Special Servicer’s recommendation and analysis with respect to such waiver and any additional information the Directing Holder may reasonably request from the

-215-

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 Holder in writing within such period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver or consent).

(d)        The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide copies of any waivers that it processes pursuant to Section 3.09(a) or (b) of this Agreement to the other party, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) and the related Other 17g-5 Information Provider (if any) with respect to each Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

(e)         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.

(f)         In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.09, the Special Servicer shall not 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 Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan or the related Mortgage Note, other than pursuant to Section 3.26 hereof, as applicable.

(g)        With respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan which permits release of Mortgaged Properties through defeasance:

(i)         Subject to the consent rights and processes set forth in Section 6.07 with respect to Major Decisions and Section 3.26(m) with respect to actions that are Special Servicer Major Decisions and Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions, the Master Servicer shall process all defeasances of Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans 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 that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall process such defeasances without the consent of the Special Servicer (or Directing Holder, if applicable), subject only to the Special Servicer’s consent rights (including any required Directing Holder approval of Special Servicer actions) with respect to any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision.

(ii)         If such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan requires that the lender purchase the required government securities, then the Master Servicer shall purchase, or shall cause the purchase of, such obligations on behalf of the Trust, at the related Borrower’s expense, in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage

-216-

Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not accept the amounts paid by the related Borrower to effect defeasance until acceptable government securities have been identified.

(iii)        To the extent not inconsistent with such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall require the related Borrower to provide an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense of the related Borrower) to the effect that the Trustee has a first priority perfected security interest in the defeasance collateral (including the government securities) and the assignment of the defeasance collateral 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 each Rating Agency.

(iv)         To the extent not inconsistent with such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall require a certificate at the related Borrower’s expense from an Independent certified public accountant certifying to the effect that the government securities 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 Loan Documents.

(v)          Prior to permitting the release of any Mortgaged Property through defeasance, the Master Servicer shall obtain, to the extent permissible under the related Loan Documents and at the related Borrower’s expense, a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from any Rating Agency if such Mortgage Loan at the time of such defeasance is not (x) a Mortgage Loan that (together with any Mortgage Loans cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loan) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance, (y) a Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or greater than $35,000,000 or (z) a Mortgage Loan that represents 5% or more of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans.

(vi)         Prior to permitting release of any Mortgaged Property through defeasance, the Master Servicer shall require an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release will not cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions; provided that to the extent not inconsistent with the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the related Borrower shall pay the cost related to the Opinion of Counsel (and shall otherwise be a Servicing Advance).

(vii)        No defeasance shall occur on or prior to the second anniversary of the Startup Day of the Trust REMICs, or in the case of any Companion Loan, the later of the second anniversary of the Startup Day of the Trust REMICs and the second anniversary of the startup day of any REMIC holding such Companion Loan.

(viii)       The Trustee shall at the expense of the related Borrower (to the extent not inconsistent with the related Loan Documents) hold the U.S. government securities as pledgee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, and the Certificate Administrator shall apply payments of principal and interest received on the government obligations to the Collection Account (or Serviced

-217-

Whole Loan Collection Account) in respect of the defeased Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan according to the payment schedule existing immediately prior to the defeasance.

(ix)         The Master Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, enforce provisions in the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing requiring Borrowers to pay all reasonable expenses associated with a defeasance.

(x)          To the extent not inconsistent with such Mortgage Loan, or to the extent the related Loan Documents provide the lender with discretion, the Master Servicer shall require a single purpose entity, formed solely for the purpose of owning and pledging the government securities related to one or more of the Mortgage Loans, to act as a successor borrower.

(xi)         The Master Servicer may accept as defeasance collateral of any “government security,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation’s Section 1.860G-(2)(a)(8)(ii), notwithstanding any more restrictive requirements in the Loan Documents; provided that the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel that acceptance of such defeasance collateral will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

(xii)        Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall charge a fee for defeasance in excess of that permitted under the Loan Documents in the event that the Loan Documents provide for such a fee limitation.

(h)          When the Special Servicer’s consent is requested under this Section 3.09, such consent shall be deemed given 15 Business Days (or such longer time period pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement but not less than five (5) Business Days after the time period set forth therein for Directing Holder approval) after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such proposed action together with such other information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer.

Section 3.10  Appraisals; Realization upon Defaulted Loans. (a) Other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and only to the extent the Special Servicer has knowledge of the following, contemporaneously with the earliest of (i) the effective date of any (A) modification of the Maturity Date or extended Maturity Date, a Mortgage Rate, principal balance or amortization terms of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other term of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, (B) extension of the Maturity Date or extended Maturity Date of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as described below in Section 3.26 of this Agreement, or (C) consent to the release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage other than pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, (ii) the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, (iii) a default in the payment of a Balloon Payment for which an extension is not granted, or (iv) the date on which the Special Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, requests an Updated Valuation, the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an Updated Valuation (or a letter update for an existing appraisal which is less than two years old) within 60 days of such request, the cost of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain an Updated Valuation pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to any

-218-

Mortgaged Property for which there exists an Appraisal, Updated Appraisal or Small Loan Appraisal Estimate which is less than nine months old unless the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of a material adverse change in circumstances that, consistent with the Servicing Standard, would call into question the validity of such Appraisal, Updated Appraisal or Small Loan Appraisal Estimate. For so long as such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, (i) the Special Servicer shall, within 30 days of the end of each 9-month period following the related Appraisal Reduction Event, use commercially reasonable efforts to order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance and (ii) the Master Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount prior to the Special Servicer granting extensions beyond one year or any subsequent extension after granting a one year extension with respect to the same Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. Subject to any required consent from the Directing Holder and consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties and Operating Advisor pursuant to Section 6.07, nothing herein is intended to limit the Special Servicer’s ability to pursue multiple strategies contemporaneously if the Special Servicer deems such actions appropriate under the Servicing Standard. The Special Servicer shall update, in accordance with the timing described above, each Small Loan Appraisal Estimate or Updated Appraisal for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and the Master Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on such updated Small Loan Appraisal Estimate or Updated Appraisal and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer from the Special Servicer to the extent such information is in the possession of (or reasonably obtainable at no additional expense by) the Special Servicer, reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. The Special Servicer shall send all such letter updates and Updated Valuations to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such materials to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any), the Risk Retention Consultation Parties and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder.

The Special Servicer shall monitor each Specially Serviced Loan, evaluate whether the causes of the default can be corrected over a reasonable period without significant impairment of the value of the related Mortgaged Property, initiate corrective action in cooperation with the Borrower if, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, cure is likely, and take such other actions (including without limitation, negotiating and accepting a discounted payoff of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan) as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. If, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, such corrective action has been unsuccessful, no satisfactory arrangement can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and the Specially Serviced Loan has not been released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any provision hereof, and except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 3.09(a) and 3.09(b) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer may, to the extent consistent with the Asset Status Report (and with the consent of the Directing Holder, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, and after consultation with each of the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.07) and with the Servicing Standard, accelerate such Specially Serviced Loan and commence a foreclosure or other acquisition with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or Properties, provided that the Special Servicer determines that such acceleration and foreclosure are more likely to produce a greater recovery to Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, constituted a single

-219-

lender) (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan) on a present value basis (discounting at the related Calculation Rate) than would a waiver of such default or an extension or modification in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.26 hereof. In connection with causing the Trust to foreclose on collateral that consists of multiple properties held for sale to customers by the related Borrower (such as unsold condominium units in a single project), the Special Servicer directing such foreclosure shall consider the effect of the bidding price for the properties on the tax basis of such properties if such properties are likely to be treated in the hands of the Trust as properties held for sale to customers. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Servicing Advance unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if such Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance but the Special Servicer determines that such payment would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, as applicable, constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) (with the Master Servicer permitted to conclusively rely upon any such determination by the Special Servicer), the Special Servicer shall direct the Master Servicer to make such payment from the Collection Account (or, if applicable, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account), which payment shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely (and with respect to the Special Servicer, shall rely) upon any determination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Master Servicer does not make such Servicing Advance in violation of the second preceding sentence, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance, unless the Trustee determines that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of Servicing Advances (with interest at the Reimbursement Rate) made pursuant to this paragraph to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this Agreement.

(b)          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 Borrower or any other liable party if (i) the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure or (ii) if the Special Servicer determines, in its best judgment, 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 and the Certificate Administrator.

(c)          In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee (on behalf of the Trust Fund), or to its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer) or a separate Trustee or co-Trustee on behalf of the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable,

-220-

shall (except for purposes of Section 9.01 of this Agreement) be considered to be a Serviced REO Loan until such time as the related Serviced REO Property shall be sold by the Trust Fund and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. Consistent with the foregoing, for purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, shall be considered to be an outstanding Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable:

(i)      it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note shall have been discharged, such Mortgage Note and, for purposes of determining the Stated Principal Balance thereof, the related amortization schedule in effect at the time of any such acquisition of title shall remain in effect; and

(ii)     subject to Section 1.02(g) of this Agreement, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to amounts that would have been payable under the related Mortgage Note(s) in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Note(s) and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement. In the absence of such terms, Net REO Proceeds shall, subject to Section 1.02(g) of this Agreement, be deemed to have been received first, in payment of the accrued interest that remained unpaid on the date that the related Serviced REO Property was acquired by the Trust Fund; second, in respect of the delinquent principal installments that remained unpaid on such date; and thereafter, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to the payment of installments of principal and accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, deemed to be due and payable in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Note(s) and such amortization schedule until such principal has been paid in full and then to other amounts due under such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable. If such Net REO Proceeds exceed the Periodic Payment then payable, the excess shall be treated as a Principal Prepayment received in respect of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable.

  (d)          Notwithstanding any provision herein 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 incident to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(l) of the Code) 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 Lower-Tier REMIC) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Lower-Tier REMIC will not cause the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding (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).

-221-

(e)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest or other equity interest in any Borrower pledged pursuant to any pledge agreement unless the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (and in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement)) to the effect that the holding of such partnership interest or other equity interest by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(f)           Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not cause the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to obtain title to a Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, to obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest in any Borrower pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of a Mortgaged Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to, and shall not otherwise cause the Trustee to acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, for the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders or Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, if applicable, 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 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 (which report shall be an expense of the Trust), performed within six 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 the Serviced Whole Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), 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 Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan

-222-

with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan), to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

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, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. Any such tests shall be deemed part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Special Servicer for purposes of this Section 3.10.

(g)       The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(f) of this Agreement shall be prepared within three months (or as soon thereafter as practicable) 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. Upon the written direction of the Special Servicer and delivery by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer of pertinent back-up information the Master Servicer shall advance the cost of preparation of such environmental assessments as a Servicing Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Servicing Advances (with interest at the Reimbursement Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent permitted by Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall provide written reports and a copy of any environmental assessments in electronic format to the Directing Holder (if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such materials to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), monthly regarding any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan or defaulted Serviced Companion Loan as to which the environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.10(f) of this Agreement 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 (i) satisfaction of both such conditions, (ii) repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan by the Mortgage Loan Seller or (iii) release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.

(h)          If the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(f)(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 with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced 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(f)(ii) of this

-223-

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 with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced 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, the Special Servicer shall (with the consent of the Directing Holder (if no Control Termination Event is continuing) and after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties and the Operating Advisor pursuant to Section 6.07) take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (and with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), but only if the Certificate Administrator has mailed notice to the Holders of the Non-VRR Certificates and the VRR Interest and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of such proposed action, which notice shall be prepared by the Special Servicer, and only if the Certificate Administrator does not receive, within 30 days of such notification, instructions from the Holders of the Non-VRR Certificates and the VRR Interest entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights and, with respect to Serviced Whole Loans, the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders directing the Special Servicer not to take such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer reasonably determines that it is likely that within such 30-day period irreparable environmental harm to such Mortgaged Property would result from the presence of such Hazardous Materials and provides a prior written statement to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the basis for such determination, then the Special Servicer may take or cause to be taken such action to remedy such condition as may be consistent with the Servicing Standard. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be obligated to take any action or not take any action pursuant to this Section 3.10(g) at the direction of the Certificateholders entitled to Voting Rights or with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, at the direction of the Certificateholders entitled to Voting Rights and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders unless the Certificateholders entitled to Voting Rights and, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders agree to indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to such action or inaction. The Master Servicer shall advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation as a Servicing Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(i)           The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) which is abandoned or foreclosed that requires 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 Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan which is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the IRS and the related Borrower, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via Form 1099C or Form 1099A, all forgiveness of indebtedness to the extent such information has been provided

-224-

to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

(j)           The costs of any Updated Valuation obtained pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (or from the Collection Account upon a non-recoverability determination) and shall be reimbursable from the Collection Account or, with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, first, from the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account and second, to the extent amounts in the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts are insufficient therefor, from the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.06(a); provided that the Master Servicer shall, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, (i) promptly notify the related Companion Loan Noteholder and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust any rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the related Serviced Companion Loans from the related Companion Loan Noteholders.

Section 3.11         Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Custodian by 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 or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, 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 related Mortgage File. Any expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance that is not paid by the related Borrower shall be chargeable to the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer agrees to use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to enforce any provision in the relevant Loan Documents that require the Borrower to pay such amounts. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be an expense of the Custodian.

From time to time upon request of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release, the Custodian shall promptly release the Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) designated in such Request for Release to the Master Servicer or the 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 the Serviced Whole Loan into a Serviced REO Property, or in the event of a substitution of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement, or receipt by the Custodian of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgaged Property 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 or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become a Serviced REO Property, or that the Master Servicer has received a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount, the Custodian shall deliver a copy of the Request for Release to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. If from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Other Servicer

-225-

or the Other Special Servicer requests delivery to it of the original Mortgage Note by providing the Trustee and the Custodian a Request for Release, then the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such original Mortgage Note to the Other Servicer or the Other Special Servicer or its designee.

Within five (5) Business Days (or, in case of an emergency, within such shorter period as is reasonable under the circumstances) after receipt of a written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) any court pleadings, requests for a trustee’s sale or other documents prepared by the Special Servicer, its agents or attorneys, 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 Borrower on the Mortgage Note 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. 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, that the proposed action is consistent with the Servicing Standard 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.

With respect to each Servicing Shift Whole Loan, on and after the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, if pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of such Servicing Shift Whole Loan, as applicable, the related Other Servicer requests in writing delivery to it of the related original Note, then the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such related original Note to the related Other Servicer or its designee.

Section 3.12    Servicing Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees and Special Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Loan. The Master Servicer’s rights to the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement or as provided in the second succeeding paragraph with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee.

In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as additional Servicing Compensation, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law and the related Loan Documents and any related Intercreditor Agreement, (i) all investment income earned on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (and with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account) and certain Reserve Accounts (to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents); (ii) any Net Default Interest and any other Penalty Charges collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer during a Collection Period accrued on any Performing Loan (and the related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), in each case, remaining after application thereof during such Collection Period to pay the Advance Interest Amount relating to such Performing Loan and to pay or reimburse the Trust for any unreimbursed Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) relating to such Performing Loan incurred during or prior to such Collection Period, and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan in the related

-226-

In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to (i) the portion of Net Default Interest and any late payment fees or penalty charges collected by the Other Servicer servicing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that are allocated to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan remaining after application thereof to reimburse interest on related P&I Advances and to reimburse the Trust for certain expenses of the Trust, if applicable, as provided in this Agreement and (ii) and (A) with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans, 100% of any fee paid in connection with any decision that is not a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, 50% of any fee paid in connection with any Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall receive 0% of any Modification Fees in connection with a COVID Modification) and (B) with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, 0% of any such fee. Except as specified in the preceding sentence and except with respect to

-227-

clause (i) in this paragraph, the Master Servicer will not be entitled to the compensation set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) in this paragraph with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will each be entitled to charge the related Borrower reasonable review fees in connection with any borrower request to the extent such fees are not prohibited under the related Loan Documents and are actually paid by or on behalf of the related Borrower.

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 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. If the Special Servicer decides not to charge any fee (other than Penalty Charges), 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 of such fee charged by the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights that relate to the Mortgage Loans (and any successor REO Loans with respect to such Mortgage Loans) 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 Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the 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 AA-1 hereto and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit AA-2 hereto. 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 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 Certificate Administrator, the

-228-

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 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 Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the 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 or successor REO Loan with respect thereto to which the Excess Servicing Fee Right relates, shall pay, out of each amount paid to the Master Servicer as Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fees 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 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.

As compensation for its activities hereunder on each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled with respect to each Mortgage Loan to its portion of the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account. The Certificate Administrator shall pay the Trustee the Trustee’s portion of the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee. The Certificate Administrator’s rights to the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of its responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay all of its overhead expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder, including all fees of any sub-servicers retained by it (but excluding Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicers). Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall each pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder.

(b)          As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and Serviced REO Loan to the Special Servicing Compensation, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, as set forth in Section 3.06 of this Agreement. 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 Special Servicing Compensation, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Loan Documents, (i) any Net Default Interest and any other Penalty Charges collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer during a Collection Period accrued on any Specially Serviced Loan remaining after application thereof during such Collection Period (and in

-229-

the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, as set forth in and subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement) and as further described in Section 3.12(d) herein to pay the Advance Interest Amount relating to such Specially Serviced Loan and any unreimbursed Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred during or prior to such Collection Period on such related Specially Serviced Loan (but not nonsufficient funds check fees and the like, which shall be paid to the Master Servicer) as further described below in this subsection (b); (ii) (A) 100% of any Modification Fees and consent fees (or similar fees) related to any Specially Serviced Loan and 100% of any Modification Fees in connection with a COVID Modification, (B) 50% of any Modification Fees (other than Modification Fees related to a COVID Modification) and consent fees (or similar fees) related to any consents, modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loans) that are non-Specially Serviced Loans which involve one or more Major Decisions or Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions (whether or not processed by the Special Servicer) and (C) 0% of any Modification Fees and consent fees (or similar fees) on Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loans) that are non-Specially Serviced Loans which do not involve a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, (iii) (A) 100% of any Assumption Fees and processing fees on Specially Serviced Loans, (B) 50% of any Assumption Fees and processing fees on Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loans) that are non-Specially Serviced Loans which involve a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (whether or not processed by the Special Servicer) and (C) 0% of any Assumption Fees and consent fees on Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loans) that are non-Specially Serviced Loans which do not involve a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, (iv) 100% of assumption application fees received with respect to the Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loans) for which the Special Servicer is processing the underlying assumption related transaction, (v) 100% of beneficiary statement charges to the extent such beneficiary statements are prepared by the Special Servicer (but not including Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges) on Specially Serviced Loans, and (vi) any interest or other income earned on deposits in the REO Accounts and 100% of charges for checks returned for insufficient funds on the REO Account.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will each be entitled to charge the related Borrower reasonable review fees in connection with any borrower request.

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 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 (other than Penalty Charges), 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. If the Special Servicer decides not to charge any fee (other than Penalty

-230-

Charges), 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 of such fee charged by the Master Servicer.

In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the portion of Net Default Interest and any other Penalty Charges collected by the Other Special Servicer servicing the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and that are allocated to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan remaining after application thereof during such Collection Period to pay the Advance Interest Amount relating to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any unreimbursed Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred during or prior to such Collection Period on such related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (but not nonsufficient funds check fees and similar fees, which shall be paid to the Master Servicer) as provided in this Agreement. Except as specified in the preceding sentence, the Special Servicer will not be entitled to the compensation set forth in this Section 3.12(b) with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

(c)          In addition, a Workout Fee will be payable to the Special Servicer with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that ceases to be a Specially Serviced Loan pursuant to the definition thereof. As to each such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the Workout Fee will be payable out of each collection of interest and principal (including scheduled payments, prepayments, Balloon Payments and payments at maturity) received on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes a Serviced REO Property; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loans again ceases to be a Specially Serviced Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns with respect to any or all of its servicing duties, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans that cease to be a Specially Serviced Loan during the period that it had responsibility for servicing such Specially Serviced Loan (or for any Specially Serviced Loan that had not yet become a Corrected Mortgage Loan because as of the time that the Special Servicer is terminated the borrower has not made three consecutive monthly debt service payments and subsequently the Specially Serviced Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan) at the time of such termination or resignation (and the successor Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees), in each case until the Workout Fee for any such loan ceases to be payable in accordance with the preceding sentence.

A Liquidation Fee will be payable to the Special Servicer, except as described below, with respect to (i) each Mortgage Loan repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller after the Initial Resolution Period (and giving effect to any Resolution Extension Period) in accordance with Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement or that is subject to a Loss of Value Payment, (ii) each Specially Serviced Loan as to which the Special Servicer obtains a full, partial or discounted payoff from the related Borrower, (iii) any Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Property as to which the Special Servicer recovered any Liquidation Proceeds and (iv) each Defaulted Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan sold by the Special Servicer in accordance with the proviso in Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement as to which the Special Servicer recovered any Liquidation Proceeds; provided, however, for clarification, in the case of clause (iv), should the Non-Serviced

-231-

Mortgage Loan be sold by the Other Special Servicer, then the Liquidation Fee shall be paid to such Other Special Servicer. As to each such Mortgage Loan repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller after the Initial Resolution Period (and giving effect to any Resolution Extension Period) in accordance with Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement or Specially Serviced Loan and Serviced REO Property, the Liquidation Fee will be payable from the related payment or proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described above, no Liquidation Fee will be payable based on, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds to the extent set forth in the definition of “Liquidation Fee” herein. With respect to any future mezzanine debt, to the extent not prohibited by the Loan Documents, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall require that the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement provide that if a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the related mezzanine lender on a date that is more than 90 days following the date that the related option first becomes exercisable, such mezzanine lender shall be required to pay a Liquidation Fee equal to the amount that the Special Servicer would otherwise be entitled to under this Agreement with respect to a liquidation of such Mortgage Loan (provided that such Liquidation Fee shall in all circumstances be payable by the related mezzanine lender and shall not, under any circumstances, be payable out of the Trust unless the Master Servicer fails to require the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement to require the mezzanine lender to pay such amounts in breach of its obligation to do so under this paragraph). If Liquidation Proceeds are received with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan as to which 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 that constitute principal and/or interest. 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 Liquidation Proceeds received on any Mortgage Loan or any Specially Serviced Loan. If (i) the Special Servicer resigns or has been terminated, and (ii) either prior or subsequent to such resignation or termination, either (A) a Specially Serviced Loan was liquidated or modified pursuant to an action plan submitted by the initial Special Servicer and approved (or deemed approved) by the Directing Holder or the Special Servicer has determined to grant a forbearance, or (B) a Specially Serviced Loan being monitored by the Special Servicer subsequently became a Corrected Mortgage Loan, then in either such event the Special Servicer shall be paid the related Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee, as applicable.

The total amount of Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees that are payable by the Trust with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced REO Loan through the period such Mortgage Loan is an asset of the Trust shall be subject to an aggregate cap of $1,000,000. For the purposes of determining whether any such cap has been reached with respect to a Special Servicer and a Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced REO Loan, only the Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees paid to such Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced REO Loan shall be taken into account, and any Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees for any other Mortgage Loans, Serviced Whole Loans or Serviced REO Loans shall not be taken into account (and any Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees paid to a predecessor or successor special servicer or Other Special Servicer shall also not be taken into account).

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, any amounts, other than management fees in respect of REO Properties, due and owing to any of its sub-servicers, any amounts due and owing to any of its Affiliates, and the premiums for any

-232-

blanket insurance policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Agreement, except to the extent such premiums are reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Agreement), if and to the extent such expenses are not expressly payable directly out of the Collection Account or if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account or the applicable REO Account or as a Servicing Advance, and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Borrower, any Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole 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.

(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 Mortgage Loan or, unless prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement to be so applied, any Serviced Companion Loan, during the related Collection Period shall be applied (as between Default Interest and late payment charges, in the priority set forth in the definition of “Advance Interest Amount”) to reimburse (i) the Master Servicer or the Trustee for interest on Advances at the Reimbursement Rate with respect to such Mortgage Loan that accrued in the period that such Penalty Charges were collected and advance interest to any related Serviced Companion Loan Service Provider for any debt service advance made by such party with respect to any related Serviced Companion Loan that accrued in the period that such Penalty Charges were collected, (ii) the Trust Fund for all interest on Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan previously paid to the Master Servicer, the Trustee or to any Serviced Companion Loan Service Provider pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(vi) or Section 3.06(b)(vi) of this Agreement and (iii) the Trust Fund for any Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan paid in or prior to the Collection Period that such Penalty Charges were collected and not previously paid out of Penalty Charges, and any Penalty Charges remaining thereafter shall be distributed pro rata to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer based upon the amount of Penalty Charges the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would otherwise have been entitled to receive during such period with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan without any such application. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property. For the avoidance of doubt, the portion of Penalty Charges allocated to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan (in accordance with the applicable Intercreditor Agreement and, if applicable, the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall be allocated in accordance with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above (except that, Advances in clauses (i) and (ii) shall mean P&I Advances).

-233-

If any Servicing Shift Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the related 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 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 any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, no other special servicer will be entitled to any such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If such Servicing Shift Whole Loan is still a Specially Serviced Loan on the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Other 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 Other Special Servicer were replacing the Special Servicer as the successor Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

If any Servicing Shift Whole Loan is being specially serviced on the related 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 Servicing Shift 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)        The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund (and, prior to recovery from the Trust Fund, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loans, subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement, first, from the related Subordinate Companion Loan up to the full principal balance thereof, if any, and second, to the extent any such costs and expenses remain unreimbursed, from the related Mortgage Loan and the Collection Account, or in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan with a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, first, out of the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account from collections on the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and the related Mortgage Loan on a pro rata basis by principal balance, and second, to the extent any such costs and expenses remain unreimbursed, out of the Collection Account) 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, Updated Appraisals and 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)(xv) of this Agreement. All such costs and expenses shall be treated as costs and expenses of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the related Serviced Whole Loan, if applicable.

(f)        No provision of this Agreement or of the Certificates shall require the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, 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, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the

-234-

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 Liquidation Proceeds and other collections on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans, or from adequate indemnity from other assets comprising the Trust Fund against such risk or liability.

If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee receives a request or inquiry from a Borrower, any Certificateholder or any other Person the response to which would, in the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Operating Advisor’s, the Asset Representations Reviewer’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 Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee, the cost of which would not be an expense of the Trust Fund or any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder hereunder, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to take any action in response to such request or inquiry unless such Borrower, such Certificateholder, or such other Person, as applicable, makes arrangements for the payment of the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Operating Advisor’s, the Asset Representations Reviewer’s or the Trustee’s reasonable expenses associated with such counsel (including, without limitation, posting an advance payment for such expenses) satisfactory to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer 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 Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer 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.

In connection with the delivery by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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, as applicable, of when such information, report, notice or document has been posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website.

(h)        The costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 3.14 by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and any other party hereto shall not be Additional Trust Fund Expenses.

Section 3.15  Title and Management of REO Properties and REO Accounts. (a) If title to any Mortgaged Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) is acquired for the benefit of Certificateholders (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) 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 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 (which shall not include the Master Servicer), or a separate Trustee or co-Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders). The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), shall dispose of any Serviced REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such Serviced REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless (i) the Special Servicer on behalf of the Lower-Tier REMIC has applied for an extension of such period pursuant to Sections 856(e)(3) and 860G(a)(8)(A) of the Code, in which case the Special Servicer shall sell such Serviced REO Property within the applicable extension period or if the Special Servicer has applied for extension as provided in this clause (i) but such request has not yet been granted or denied, the additional time specified in such request, or (ii) the Special Servicer seeks and subsequently receives an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such expenses shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement), addressed to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Serviced REO Property for an additional specified period will not cause such Serviced REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) at any time that any Certificate is outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional specified period subject to any conditions set forth in such Opinion of Counsel. The Special Servicer, on behalf of

-251-

the Trust Fund (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), shall dispose of any Serviced REO Property held by the Trust Fund prior to the last day of such period (taking into account extensions) by which such Serviced REO Property is required to be disposed of pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence in a manner provided under Section 3.16 hereof. In the case of the Trust Fund’s beneficial interest in any REO Property acquired by the Other Trustee pursuant to an Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Special Servicer shall coordinate with the Other Special Servicer with respect to any REO extension on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each Serviced REO Property for the Certificateholders (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such Serviced REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) and such that income from the operation or sale of such property does not result in receipt by the Trust Fund of any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code with respect to such property.

(b)        The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the Servicing Standard and the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any Serviced REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which the Special Servicer manages and operates similar property owned or managed by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and, in connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards. Consistent with the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall cause or permit to be earned with respect to such Serviced REO Property any “net income from foreclosure property,” within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code, which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions, only if it has determined, and has so advised the Trustee and 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, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) than an alternative method of operation or rental of such Serviced 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 Serviced REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any Serviced REO Property a segregated custodial account (each, an “REO Account”), for the benefit of the Certificateholders, each of which shall be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled “CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as Special Servicer, on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Benchmark 2021-B30 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B30, REO Account”. With respect to a Serviced REO Property securing a Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall establish an REO Account solely with respect to such property (each such account, a “Serviced Whole Loan REO Account”), each of which shall be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled “CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as Special Servicer, on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the

-252-

Holders of Benchmark 2021-B30 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B30 and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders REO Account”, to be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in an REO Account or a Serviced Whole Loan REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited REO Proceeds in the REO Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan REO Account within two Business Days after receipt of such properly identified and available REO Proceeds, and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such Serviced REO Property and for other Property Protection Expenses with respect to such Serviced REO Property, including:

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

(ii)   all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of any Serviced 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 Serviced REO Property including, if applicable, the payments of any ground rents in respect of such Serviced REO Property; and

(iv)  any taxes imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC, as applicable, in respect of net income from foreclosure property in accordance with Section 4.05, and with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, such expenses shall be allocated pro rata to the Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loans based on each loan’s Stated Principal Balance and only to the extent any such Serviced Companion Loan is included in a REMIC.

  To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Master Servicer shall make such Advance unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (provided that with respect to advancing insurance premiums or delinquent tax assessments the Master Servicer shall comply with the provisions of the second to last paragraph in Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement) and if the Master Servicer does not make any such Advance, the Trustee, to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Master Servicer’s failure to make such Advance, shall make such Advance, unless in each case, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and in the case of such determination by the Special Servicer, shall be bound by such determination. The Trustee, when making an independent determination 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 Reimbursement Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence, to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account or Serviced Whole Loan REO Account, as applicable, and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as

-253-

applicable, on a monthly basis on the later of the date that is (x) on or prior to the related Determination Date or (y) two (2) Business Days after such amounts are received and properly identified and determined to be available, the Net REO Proceeds received or collected from each Serviced REO Property, except that in determining the amount of such Net REO Proceeds, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account or Serviced Whole Loan 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 any New Lease to be entered into, renewed or extended, 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 Serviced 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 became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv)    Directly Operate or allow any Person to Directly Operate any Serviced 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, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan with a Serviced Companion Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement) to the effect that such action will not cause such Serviced REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) 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, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement) and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of any Serviced 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 Serviced REO Property other than through an Independent Contractor shall not cause such Serviced REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code) (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund, and in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement), provided that:

-254-

(1)   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;

(2)   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 Serviced 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 30 days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

(3)   none of the provisions of this Section 3.15(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, the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Noteholders, with respect to the operation and management of any such Serviced REO Property; and

(4)   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 Serviced REO Property.

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

(c)        Promptly following any acquisition by the Special Servicer of a Serviced REO Property on behalf of the Trust Fund, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer thereof, and, upon delivery of such notice, the Special Servicer shall obtain an Updated Valuation thereof, but only if any Updated Valuation with respect thereto is more than 9 months old and the Special Servicer has no actual knowledge of any material adverse change in circumstances that, consistent with the Servicing Standard, would call into question the validity of such Updated Valuation, in order to determine the fair market value of such Serviced REO Property and shall notify the Depositor and the Master Servicer and with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion Loan, if any, and of the results of such Updated Valuation. Any such Updated Appraisal shall be conducted in accordance with Appraisal Institute standards and the cost thereof shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and allocated to Classes of Principal Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest (in the same manner as Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses as set forth in Section 4.01(d) of this Agreement). In the case of any Serviced Whole Loan such expenses shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Special Servicer shall obtain a new Updated Valuation or a letter update every 9 months thereafter until the Serviced REO Property is sold.

(d)       When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Certificate Administrator 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

-255-

respect of, any Serviced REO Property in accordance with Sections 3.15(a) and 3.15(b) of this Agreement.

(e)        Upon the disposition of any Serviced REO Property in accordance with this Section 3.15, the Special Servicer shall calculate the Gain-on-Sale Proceeds allocable to a Mortgage Loan or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan, if any, realized in connection with such sale.

Section 3.16  Sale of Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties. (a) The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.16 or as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Section 2.03(e) and Section 9.01 of this Agreement or in an applicable Intercreditor Agreement. The Special Servicer may only sell a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan together with the related Mortgage Loan if it has received consent of the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan.

(b)        If the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) to attempt to sell a Defaulted Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall solicit offers for each such Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Noteholders in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price. In the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent that such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Other Special Servicer for the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan and, if permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to sell (with the consent of the Directing Holder (if no Control Termination Event is continuing) and after consulting on a non-binding basis with the applicable Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.07) 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 shall be entitled to a Liquidation Fee in connection with such sale). Subject to the qualifications described in this Section 3.16, the Special Servicer shall accept the first cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan. Subject to Section 3.16(k), if the Special Servicer receives more than one cash offer that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan during the period designated by the Special Servicer for receipt of offers, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest price.

The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Directing Holder (other than in respect of any applicable Excluded Loan) and each Risk Retention Consultation Party not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any such Defaulted Loan, and 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 such Defaulted Loan pursuant to this Agreement.

-256-

(c)          Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person; provided that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) the offer is the highest offer received, and (ii) if the offer is less than the applicable Purchase Price, at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee 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 narrative appraisal prepared by an Independent MAI appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer is not making an offer with respect to such Defaulted Loan, (ii) by the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer is making such an offer unless the Master Servicer and Special Servicer are Affiliates or (iii) the Operating Advisor if the Master Servicer and Special Servicer are Affiliates and the Special Servicer is making an offer. The cost of any such Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to retain, at the expense of the related Interested Person, 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 or Serviced Whole Loan, as the case may be, that has been selected with reasonable care by the trustee to determine such fair price and will be permitted to conclusively rely on the opinion of such third party’s determination. Any costs and fees of the Trustee in connection with an offer by an Interested Person and the Trustee’s duties therewith shall be paid in advance of any such determination by such Interested Person.

In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, any appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of the Delinquency on such Defaulted Loan, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property, the state of the local economy in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, the expected recovery from such Defaulted Loan if the Special Servicer were to pursue a workout strategy, and the time and expense associated with a purchaser’s foreclosing on the related Mortgaged Property.

In addition, the Special Servicer shall refer to all other relevant information obtained by it or otherwise contained in the Mortgage File; provided that the Special Servicer shall take account of any change in circumstances regarding the related Mortgaged Property known to the Special Servicer that has occurred subsequent to, and that would, in the Special Servicer’s reasonable judgment, materially affect the value of the related Mortgaged Property reflected in the most recent related Appraisal. Furthermore, the Special Servicer may consider available objective third party information obtained from generally available sources, as well as information obtained from vendors providing real estate services to the Special Servicer, concerning the market for distressed real estate loans and the real estate market for the subject property type in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located. The Special Servicer may, to the extent it is reasonable to do so in accordance with the Servicing Standard, conclusively rely on any opinions or reports

-257-

of qualified Independent experts in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject Specially Serviced Loan, selected with reasonable care by the Special Servicer, in making such determination. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall constitute, and be reimbursable as, Servicing Advances. The other parties to this Agreement shall cooperate with all reasonable requests for information made by the Special Servicer in order to allow the Special Servicer to perform its duties pursuant to this Section 3.16(c).

The Purchase Price (which, in connection with the administration of a Defaulted Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be construed and calculated as if the loans in such Serviced Whole Loan together constitute a single Mortgage Loan thereunder) for any such Defaulted Loan shall in all cases be deemed a fair price.

(d)          Subject to subsection (c) above, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any such Defaulted Loan, and the applicable collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge for its own account 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 REO Account the Collection Account or, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account. Any sale of such Defaulted Loan shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any prorations 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, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder or Companion Loan Noteholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(e)          Any sale of such Defaulted Loan shall be for cash only.

(f)           The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Serviced REO Property only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.16 or as otherwise expressly provided in an applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

(g)          The Special Servicer shall solicit offers for each Serviced REO Property on behalf of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price within the time period provided for by Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer (with the consent of the Directing Holder for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing) shall accept the first cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Serviced REO Property. Subject to Section 3.16(k), if the Special Servicer receives more than one cash offer that constitutes a fair price for such Serviced REO Property during the period designated by the Special Servicer for receipt of offers, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest price. If the Special Servicer determines, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, that it will be unable to realize a fair price for any Serviced REO Property within the time constraints imposed

-258-

by Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement, then the Special Servicer (with the consent of the Directing Holder for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing) shall dispose of such Serviced 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 of from whom received.

The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Directing Holder, not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Serviced REO Property, and 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 Serviced REO Property pursuant to this Agreement.

(h)          Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Serviced REO Property, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person; provided that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless it is the highest offer received. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Serviced REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent appraisal or Updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or in the absence of any such appraisal, on a narrative appraisal prepared by an Independent MAI appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer is not making an offer with respect to a Serviced REO Property (or by the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer is making such an offer). The cost of any such Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal and any related costs and fees of the Trustee shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced REO Property, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any appraisal, updated appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced REO Property, any appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property or Serviced REO Property, the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of any Serviced REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement. The Purchase Price (which, in connection with the administration of a Serviced REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be construed and calculated as if the loans in such Serviced Whole Loan together constitute a single Mortgage Loan thereunder) for any Serviced REO Property shall in all cases be deemed a fair price. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to retain, at the expense of the related Interested Person, an independent third party to determine such fair price and will be permitted to conclusively rely on the opinion of such third party’s determination. Any costs and fees of the Trustee in connection with an offer by an Interested Person and the Trustee’s duties therewith shall be paid in advance of any such determination by such Interested Person.

(i)           Subject to subsections (g) and (h) above, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) in negotiating and taking any other

-259-

action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Serviced REO Property, and the applicable collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge for its own account 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, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account. Any sale of a Serviced REO Property shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any prorations 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 or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder or Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(j)         Any sale of a Serviced REO Property shall be for cash only.

(k)        Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.16, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Directing Holder (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan or unless a Consultation Termination Event exists), each Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) (which consultation shall be non-binding) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Noteholder(s)), 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 sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or its 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 (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) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender) (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan).

(l)          With respect to each defaulted Serviced Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall sell such defaulted Serviced Companion Loan together with the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement as if such Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loans were one whole loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. The Special Servicer shall provide notice and other information required under the related Intercreditor Agreement to the applicable Other Special Servicer as soon as practicable following its decision to attempt to sell, and prior to commencement or marketing of, any Serviced Companion Loan. With respect

-260-

to Serviced Whole Loans, the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain the consent of any holder of a related Serviced Companion Loan prior to a sale of such Serviced Whole Loan, unless (i) such holder is the related Borrower or an Affiliate or agent of the related Borrower or (ii) the Special Servicer delivers to such holders of the related Serviced Companion Loans: (A) at least fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the related Serviced Whole Loan; (B) at least ten (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 ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for such Serviced Whole Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by the holders of the applicable Serviced Companion Loans that are material to the sale price of such Serviced Whole Loan; and (D) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but not less time than is afforded to other offerors, the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. The holders of the Serviced Companion Loans (or, in any case, their respective representatives) shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of such related Serviced Whole Loan; however, the related Borrower and its agents and Affiliates shall not be permitted to submit an offer at such sale.

(m)         With respect to any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, if the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer (or, on or after the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Other Special Servicer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to such Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) will be required to sell such Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan together with the related Companion Loan(s) as notes evidencing one whole loan, in accordance with the provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement or the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be.

Section 3.17         Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer; Inspections. (a) The Master Servicer (at its own expense) (or, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and Serviced REO Properties, the Special Servicer) shall inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan that it is servicing at such times and in such manner as is consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any event shall inspect each Mortgaged Property with a Stated Principal Balance (or in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured by more than one Mortgaged Property, having an Allocated Loan Amount) of (A) $2,000,000 or more at least once every 12 months (commencing in 2022) and (B) less than $2,000,000 at least once every 24 months (commencing in 2022), (or, in each case, at such decreased frequency as each Rating Agency shall have provided a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any); provided that if a physical inspection has been performed by the Special Servicer in the previous twelve (12) months and the Master Servicer has no knowledge of a 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 Loan and annually thereafter for so long as such Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan. The reasonable cost of each such inspection performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard by the Special Servicer shall be paid by the

-261-

Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. With respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the costs described in the preceding sentence above that relate to the applicable Serviced Whole Loan shall be paid out of amounts on deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account related to such Serviced Whole Loan (allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the related Intercreditor Agreement). If funds in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account relating to a Serviced Whole Loan are insufficient, then any deficiency shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account; provided that the Master Servicer shall, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, (i) promptly notify the related Companion Loan Noteholder and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust any rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the related Companion Loans from the related Companion Loan Noteholders. With respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, the costs will be allocated, first, as an expense of the holders of the related Subordinate Companion Loan, and second, as an expense of the holder(s) of the related Mortgage Loan and the related pari passu Companion Loans (if any), pro rata and pari passu, to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare a written report of the inspection describing, among other things, the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan that it is servicing and specifying the existence of any material vacancies in such Mortgaged Property, any sale, transfer or abandonment of such Mortgaged Property of which it has actual knowledge, any material adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property, or any visible material waste committed on applicable Mortgaged Property. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall send such reports to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such reports to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), the related Other 17g-5 Information Provider (if any) and, upon request, to the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers within 20 days of completion and receipt (by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or, if earlier, any sub-servicer on their behalf) of the inspection report, each inspection report.

(b)          With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan, the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) shall exercise the Trustee’s rights, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with respect to the Manager under the related Loan Documents and Management Agreement, if any.

(c)          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 Distribution Account on each 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 holder of the Serviced Companion Loan on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.

(d)          The Master Servicer shall, as to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that is secured by the interest of the related Borrower under a ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest that is a space lease or an air rights lease, such space lease or air rights lease), promptly (and in any event within 60 days) after the Closing Date notify the related ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that any notices of default

-262-

under the related ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest that is a space lease or an air rights lease, the related space lease or air rights lease) should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer.

(e)          The Master Servicer shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard and permitted by the related Loan Documents, not apply any funds with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (whether arising in the form of a holdback, earnout reserve, cash trap or other similar feature) to the prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan prior to an event of default or reasonably foreseeable event of default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. Prior to an event of default or reasonably foreseeable event of default any such amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be held by the Master Servicer as additional collateral for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

Section 3.18         Authenticating Agent. The Certificate Administrator may appoint an Authenticating Agent to execute and to authenticate Certificates. The Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Depositor and must be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state, having a principal office and place of business in a state and city acceptable to the Depositor, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Certificate Administrator shall serve as the initial Authenticating Agent.

Any corporation into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent shall be party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of the Authenticating Agent, shall be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.

The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. The Certificate Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of the Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to the Authenticating Agent, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. 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 3.18, the Certificate Administrator may 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 3.18.

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, as applicable.

-263-

Section 3.19         Appointment of Custodians. The Certificate Administrator shall be the initial Custodian hereunder. The Certificate Administrator may appoint one or more additional Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files on behalf of the Trustee and otherwise perform the duties set forth in Article II, by entering into a Custodial Agreement with any Custodian who is not the Depositor. The Certificate Administrator agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any act or omission of the Custodian under the Custodial Agreement. Each Custodian (other than the initial Custodian) shall be a depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000, shall have a long-term debt rating of at least “BBB” from Fitch and an equivalent rating by KBRA if rated by KBRA. Each Custodial Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 12.08 of this Agreement. Any compensation paid to the Custodian shall be an unreimbursable expense of the Certificate Administrator. If the Custodian is an entity other than the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian shall maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that are customary for securitizations similar to the securitization evidenced by this Agreement. The Custodian shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its 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. All fidelity bonds and policies of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section 3.19 shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer.

Section 3.20         Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and Reserve Accounts. The Master Servicer shall administer each Lock-Box Account, Cash Collateral Account, Escrow Account and Reserve Account in accordance with the related Mortgage or Loan Agreement, Cash Collateral Account Agreement or Lock-Box Agreement, if any relating to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans it is servicing.

Section 3.21         Servicing Advances. (a) The Master Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.21(c) of this Agreement, the Trustee) to the extent specifically provided for in this Agreement, shall make any Servicing Advances as and to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans that it is servicing. For purposes of distributions to Certificateholders and compensation to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, Servicing Advances shall not be considered to increase the Stated Principal Balance of any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loans so provide. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances under this Agreement, but may make a Servicing Advance on an urgent or emergency basis in its discretion.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer not less than five Business Days’ written notice with respect to any Servicing Advance to be made on any Specially Serviced Loan, before the date on which

-264-

the Master Servicer is required to make such Servicing Advance with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Loan; provided that the Special Servicer shall be required to provide the Master Servicer with only two Business Days’ written notice in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis (which may include, without limitation, Servicing Advances required to make tax or insurance payments). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a Servicing Advance with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan then it shall provide written notice to the related Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee of the amount of such Servicing Advance with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan as part of its monthly report following the making of such Servicing Advance.

(c)          The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in writing promptly upon, and in any event within one Business Day after, becoming aware that it will be unable to make any Servicing Advance required to be made pursuant to the terms hereof, and in connection therewith, shall set forth in such notice the amount of such Servicing Advance, the Person to whom it is to be paid, and the circumstances and purpose of such Servicing Advance, and shall set forth therein information and instructions for the payment of such Servicing Advance, and, on the date specified in such notice for the payment of such Servicing Advance, or, if the date for payment has passed or if no such date is specified, then within five Business Days following such notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement, shall pay the amount of such Servicing Advance in accordance with such information and instructions.

(d)          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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Advance is, or would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance, and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, then all such decisions shall remain with the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if the Person otherwise required to make such Servicing Advance determines that such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make any Servicing Advance to the extent that it has received written notice that the Special Servicer has determined that such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to (i) give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the recovery of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan (or the related Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable) 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 Amount which is being or may be deferred or delayed and (ii) consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (or the related Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable) as it may have been modified, (iii) consider (among other things) the

-265-

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) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (iv) estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) (among other things) future expenses, (v) estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (vi) consider any non-recoverability determination of the Other Servicer or Other Trustee under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to a P&I Advance for a Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advances were unreimbursed Servicing Advances. If an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property shall not have been obtained within the prior 9-month period (and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each request any such appraisal from the Special Servicer prior to ordering an Appraisal pursuant to this sentence) or if such an Appraisal shall have been obtained but as a result of unforeseen occurrences, such Appraisal does not, in the good faith determination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reflect current market conditions, and the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and the Special Servicer cannot agree on the appropriate downward adjustment to such Appraisal, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, may, subject to its reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement).

Any determination by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee that the Master Servicer or Trustee, as the case may be, has made a Servicing Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or any determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be evidenced in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the other, to the Trustee, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, any related Companion Loan Noteholder(s) and the Depositor and, in the case of the Trustee, by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, delivered to the Depositor, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, any related Companion Loan holder(s), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, which in each case sets forth such nonrecoverability determination and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (such certificate accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination, together with any existing Appraisal or any Updated Appraisal); 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 nonrecoverable and shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder (but only with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan

-266-

and if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), notice of such determination. Any such determination may be relied upon by and shall be binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Advance is, or would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance, and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, then all such decisions 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.

Any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination or prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) may obtain, at the expense of the Trust (and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement), any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes. Absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders.

The Trustee, in determining whether or not a Servicing Advance previously made is, or a proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would be, a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall use its reasonable judgment.

With respect to the payment of insurance premiums and delinquent tax assessments, in the event that the Master Servicer determines that a Servicing Advance of such amounts would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall deliver notice of such determination to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer. Upon receipt of such notice, the Master Servicer (with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that is a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property) shall determine (with the reasonable assistance of the Master Servicer) whether the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve the related Mortgaged Property and (ii) would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of any Serviced Companion Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)). If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve the related Mortgaged Property and (ii) would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of any Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (and in the case of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion

-267-

Loan), the Special Servicer (in the case of a determination by the Special Servicer) shall direct the Master Servicer in writing to make such payment and the Master Servicer shall make such payment, to the extent of available funds, from amounts in the Collection Account or, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, from amounts in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.21, the Master Servicer may elect (but shall not be required) to make a payment out of the Collection Account to pay for certain expenses specified in this sentence notwithstanding that the Master Servicer 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 Serviced 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; provided that in each instance, the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) that making such expenditure is in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)). The Master Servicer may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances from the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 3.06 of this Agreement.

For so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, if the Directing Holder disapproves such Asset Status Report within such 10 Business Day period and the Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the Special Servicer will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Directing Holder, the Master Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such report to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) and each related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder, 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 in this Section 3.23(e) until the Directing Holder fails to

-278-

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, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval by the Directing Holder (communicated to the Special Servicer within such 10-Business Day period) is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders (taken as a collective whole) (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the best interests of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)). In any event, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, if the Directing Holder does not approve an Asset Status Report within 60 Business Days from the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall follow the Directing Holder’s direction, if such direction is consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if the Directing Holder’s direction would cause the Special Servicer to violate the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report if consistent with the Servicing Standard. The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “Directing Holder Asset Status Report Review Process”. Prior to a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor following the completion of the Directing Holder Asset Status Report Review Process.

The Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor as to whether any Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor is a Final Asset Status Report, which notification may be satisfied by (i) delivery of an Asset Status Report that is either signed by the Directing Holder or that otherwise includes an indication that such Asset Status Report is deemed approved due to the passage of any required consent or consultation time period or (ii) such other method as reasonably agreed to by the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor.

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, and in particular, shall modify and resubmit such Asset Status Report to the Directing Holder (with a copy to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) if (i) the estimated sales proceeds, foreclosure proceeds, workout or restructure terms or anticipated debt forgiveness varies materially from the amount on which the original report was based or (ii) the related Borrower becomes the subject of bankruptcy proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer (i) may, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, take any action set forth in such Asset Status Report before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period if the Special Servicer has reasonably determined that failure to take such action would materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)), and it has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder and, if any Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and (ii) in any case, shall determine whether such affirmative disapproval is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders (taken as a

-279-

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)) and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)) pursuant to the Servicing Standard, and, upon making such determination, shall implement the recommended action outlined in the Asset Status Report. The Asset Status Report is not intended to replace or satisfy any specific consent or approval right which the Directing Holder may have. Any Asset Status Report delivered with respect to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be sent via email (or such other electronic means mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled by the Special Servicer “Excluded Information” followed by the applicable loan number and loan name to cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com.

The Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the Borrower for any Specially Serviced Loan and take such actions consistent with the Servicing Standard and the related Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer shall not take any action inconsistent with the related Asset Status Report, unless such action would be required in order to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, this Agreement, applicable law or the related Loan Documents.

While a Control Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder and only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder). The Operating Advisor shall provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of each 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 and in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable by, the Special Servicer 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), as a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Noteholders, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu and/or subordinate nature of such Companion Loan, as applicable)). The Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action, if any, and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder and only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder) in connection with the Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report that is provided while a Control Termination Event is continuing. 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, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder and only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder), to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or the Directing Holder’s input and/or recommendations are not inconsistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the

-280-

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 subordinate or pari passu 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 Holder, the Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report, if applicable, and deliver to the Operating Advisor and the Directing Holder 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”.

During the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder), the Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.23. During the continuance of a Control Termination Event but only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder (except with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to consult with the Special Servicer (on a non-binding basis) (in person or remotely via electronic, telephonic or other mutually agreeable communication) and may propose alternative courses of action and provide such other feedback as the Operating Advisor determines in respect of any Asset Status Report. During the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), the Directing Holder (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 Holder during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder. The Special Servicer shall implement the Final Asset Status Report.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Serviced AB Whole Loan, other than during the continuance of a related Control Appraisal Period, the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder, rather than the Trust Directing Holder, will have certain approval rights over any related Asset Status Report.

In addition, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, such Asset Status Reports are subject to any non-binding consultation rights, if any, that the holders of the related Pari Passu Companion Loans have pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.

If neither the Operating Advisor nor the Directing Holder proposes alternative courses of action within ten (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.

No direction, advice, consent, approval or disapproval of the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor or a Risk Retention Consultation Party shall (a) require, permit or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan, any related Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 3.09, Section 3.16, Section 3.18 and Section 3.25 and the Special Servicer’s obligation to

-281-

act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC and the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust, or (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, or (c) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability or (d) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Certificate Administrator’s, Trustee’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall not be required to follow any direction of the Directing Holder described in this paragraph.

(f)           Unless a Control Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor only each Final Asset Status Report promptly following the approval or deemed approval of the Directing Holder.

Section 3.24         Special Instructions for the Master Servicer and/or Special Servicer. (a) Prior to taking any action with respect to a Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan secured by Mortgaged Properties located in a “one-action” state, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with legal counsel, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement).

(b)          The Master Servicer shall send written notice to each Borrower (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the related Manager and clearing bank relating to a Serviced Mortgage Loan that it is servicing that, if applicable, it and/or the Trustee has been appointed as the “Designee” of the “Lender” under any related Lock-Box Agreement.

(c)          Without limiting the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder with respect to the enforcement of a Borrower’s obligations under the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer agrees that it shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, enforce the provisions of the Loan Documents relating to the Serviced Mortgage Loan that it is servicing with respect to the collection of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges.

(d)          If a Rating Agency shall charge a fee in connection with providing a Rating Agency Confirmation, the Master Servicer shall require the related Borrower (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to pay such fee to the extent not inconsistent with the applicable Loan Documents. If such fee remains unpaid, such fee shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (allocated as an Additional Trust Fund Expense in the same manner as Realized Losses as set forth in Section 4.01(f) of this Agreement) and, (1) in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan with a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (but not a Subordinate Companion Loan), allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the costs of which may be advanced as a Servicing Advance.

(e)          The Master Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust any right of the Trust to recover any amounts owed by the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders to the Trust Fund pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement (but in the case of any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, subject to Section 1.02). The cost of such enforcement on behalf of the Trust shall be paid and reimbursable as a Servicing Advance.

-282-

(f)           With respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or greater than the lesser of 5% of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans held by the Trust Fund and $35,000,000, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans based on Stated Principal Balance, to the extent not inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall not consent to a change of franchise affiliation with respect to a Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) serviced hereunder or the property manager with respect to a Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) serviced hereunder unless the Master Servicer obtains a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any.

Section 3.25         Certain Rights and Obligations of the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to instructions from the Directing Holder or a Non-Controlling Note Holder, or due to any failure to approve an action by the Directing Holder, or due to any objection by the Directing Holder or a Non-Controlling Note Holder that would (i) cause any one of them to violate applicable law, the terms of any Loan Documents, any Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement, including the Servicing Standard, or the REMIC Provisions of the Code, (ii) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Paying Agent, a Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trust Fund, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (in any of its capacities), or the Custodian or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability, (iii) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities, or (iv) 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.

(b)          Upon request, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall discuss with the Directing Holder (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) and the Operating Advisor, on a monthly basis, the performance of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan, which is delinquent, has been placed on a “Watch List” or has been identified by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as exhibiting deteriorating performance.

Section 3.26         Modification, Waiver, Amendment and Consents. (a) Subject to Section 3.25, Section 3.26(f) and Section 3.27, and, if applicable, each Intercreditor Agreement, (i) with respect to any Performing Loan and actions that do not involve Special Servicer Major Decisions or Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions, the Master Servicer, or (ii) (A) with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or (B) as to Special Servicer Major Decisions or Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions irrespective of whether the related Mortgage Loan is a Performing Loan, the Special Servicer, in each case subject to (x) the rights of the Directing Holder and (y) with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan with a Subordinate Companion Loan, the rights of the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loans, and, after consultation with the Operating Advisor (if a Control Termination Event is continuing and to the extent the Operating Advisor has consultation rights pursuant to Section 3.23(e), Section 3.31 and Section 6.07 of this Agreement) and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties (to the extent the Risk Retention Consultation Parties have consultation rights pursuant to Section 6.07 of this Agreement), may modify, waive, amend,

-283-

consent or take such other action with respect to any term of any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan if such modification, waiver, amendment, consent or other action (A) is consistent with the Servicing Standard and (B) would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer may mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process any of the foregoing matters that are Special Servicer Major Decisions (other than a COVID Modification) or Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan. If the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process any Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision with respect to a Performing Loan, the Master Servicer shall obtain the consent (or deemed consent) of the Special Servicer as provided in Section 3.26(m). Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may conclusively rely on an Opinion of Counsel in meeting this requirement. In order to meet the foregoing requirements, in the case of a release of real property collateral securing a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall observe the REMIC requirements of the Code with respect to a required payment of principal if the loan-to-value ratio immediately after the release exceeds 125% with respect to the related real property collateral. 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 Loan Documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related Borrower of) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, then such calculation shall exclude the value of any personal property and going concern value, if any. 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.

Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision or a Special Servicer Major Decision with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced 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 Special Servicer Non-Major Decision or Special Servicer Major Decision other than providing the Special Servicer with any reasonably requested information or documentation. In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with any notice that it receives relating to a default by the borrower 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.

-284-

Subject to Section 6.07, if a Borrower satisfies the requirements set forth in the definition of “COVID Modification”, the Special Servicer may enter into a COVID Modification with the related Borrower. In exchange for a fee as described below, the Special Servicer shall be responsible for processing any COVID Modification and any related COVID Modification Agreement for any COVID Modified Loan.

The Borrowers may request payment forbearance because of COVID-19 related financial hardship. The Special Servicer shall be allowed to grant a forbearance on a Mortgage Loan related to the global COVID-19 Emergency only if (i) prior to October 1, 2021 (or prior to a later date provided by the IRS in any future guidance), the period of forbearance granted, when added to any prior periods of forbearance granted before or after the Trust acquired such Mortgage Loan (whether or not such prior grants of forbearance were covered by Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended by Revenue Procedure 2021-12)), does not exceed six months (or such longer period of time as may be allowed by future guidance that is binding on federal income tax authorities) or the applicable forbearance program pursuant to which the related forbearance was granted is otherwise identical or similar to those described in Section 2.07 of the Revenue Procedure and such forbearance is covered by Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended by Revenue Procedure 2021-12), (ii) such forbearance is permitted under another provision of this Agreement and the requirements under such provision are satisfied, or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the effect that such forbearance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

Any fees or other charges charged by the Special Servicer in connection with processing any COVID Modification or related COVID Modification Agreement with respect to any COVID Modified Loan (in the aggregate with any other COVID Modification or COVID Modification Agreement with respect to such COVID Modified Loan) shall not exceed an amount equal to $45,000 (plus reasonable and customary attorney’s fees and expenses, out of pocket third party fees and expenses and filing fees) and shall only be borne by the related Borrower, not the Trust. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Borrower default under a COVID Modification Agreement, the fee cap shall only apply to the initial processing of such COVID Modification Agreement, and, in such event, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to all fees that would be payable to it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to further servicing actions with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable.

(b)          Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may extend the Maturity Date of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Specially Serviced Loan beyond the date that is the date occurring later than the earlier of (1) five years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date, and (2) in the case of a Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Specially Serviced Loan secured solely or primarily by the related Borrower’s interest in a ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest where the related Borrower is the lessee and that is a space lease or an air rights lease, such space lease or air rights lease), the date that is 20 years prior to the expiration date of such ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest where the related Borrower is the lessee and that is a space lease or an air rights lease, such space lease or air rights lease) (or 10 years prior to the expiration date of such lease if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable gives due consideration to the remaining term of such ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest where the Borrower is the lessee and that is a space lease or an air rights lease, such space lease or air rights lease) and such extension is in the best interest of the Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion

-285-

Loan Noteholder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan) Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)) and, (A) if no Control Termination Event is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Holder and (B) to the extent such extension constitutes a Major Decision, after consultation with each Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.07).

(c)          Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit any Borrower to add or substitute any collateral for an outstanding Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, which collateral constitutes real property, unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have obtained a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any.

(d)          Any payment of interest, which is deferred pursuant to any modification, waiver or amendment permitted hereunder, shall not, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders or, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or such modification, waiver or amendment so permit.

(e)          Except for waivers of Penalty Charges and waivers of notice periods, all material modifications, waivers and amendments of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with this Section 3.26 or Section 3.27 of this Agreement (with respect to Serviced Whole Loans) shall be in writing.

(f)           The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify each other, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Directing Holder (other than if a Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Operating Advisor (only if a Control Termination Event is continuing), the Depositor, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), in writing, of any modification, waiver, material consent or amendment of any term of any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan processed by such servicer and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Custodian for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver, material consent or amendment, promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) following the execution thereof. With respect to the processing of any modification, waiver or consent related to any Borrower incurring Additional Secured Debt, the Special Servicer (if the Special Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 3.26 or Section 3.09(b)) or the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 3.26 or Section 3.09(b)) shall, on or before the later of (i) 3:00 p.m. on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date and (ii) five (5) Business Days immediately following the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, obtaining actual knowledge of the incurrence of such Additional Secured Debt, deliver notice of the Borrower’s incurrence of such debt, substantially in the form of Exhibit OO, to cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com and an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit CC. The notice contemplated in the preceding sentence shall set forth, to the extent the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as the case

-286-

may be, has the requisite information or can reasonably obtain such information, (1) the amount of Additional Secured Debt that was incurred in the related Collection Period, (2) the total Debt Service Coverage Ratio calculated on the basis of such Mortgage Loan and Additional Secured Debt, and (3) the aggregate loan-to-value ratio calculated on the basis of such Mortgage Loan and Additional Secured Debt. 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 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 OO shall no longer be required hereunder.

(g)          The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may (subject to the Servicing Standard), as a condition to granting any request by a Borrower for consent, modification, 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 Whole Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, require that such Borrower pay to it (i) as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable and customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request (provided that the charging of such fee would not constitute a “significant modification” of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)), and (ii) any related costs and expenses incurred by it. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be entitled to payment for such fees or expenses unless such payment is collected from the related Borrower.

(h)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (or any portion thereof), if any, unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8) and satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 3.09(f) of this Agreement.

(i)           Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Loan Documents to the contrary, the Master Servicer may permit the substitution of direct, non-callable “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) (including U.S. government agency securities if such securities are eligible defeasance collateral under then current guidelines of the Rating Agencies) for any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan (or any portion thereof) in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the related Loan Documents; provided that, the Master Servicer reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause a default or event of default under the related Loan Documents to become reasonably foreseeable and the Master Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Borrower to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents) to the effect that such use would not be and would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise cause an Adverse

-287-

REMIC Event and provided that the requirements set forth in Section 3.09(f) of this Agreement are satisfied.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule X that are subject to defeasance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller 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”). In the event the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan, which such Mortgage Loan 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. Until such time as the related Mortgage Loan Seller 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 shall be delivered to the related Mortgage Loan Seller at its address for notices set forth in Section 12.05. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to defeasance, if the successor borrower is not designated or formed by the related Mortgage Loan Seller 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 Loan Documents or if otherwise consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts, which may be sub-accounts of the Collection Account (the “Defeasance 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 Loan Documents. Each Defeasance Account shall at all times be an Eligible Account. 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 12 months, 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, or any other securities 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 or, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, in advance of its Due Date in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount, and not as a prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account or, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days.

(k)          Any right to take any action, grant or withhold any consent or otherwise exercise any right, election or remedy afforded the Directing Holder under this Agreement may, unless otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, be affirmatively waived by the Directing Holder by written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon delivery of any such notice of waiver given by the Directing Holder, any time period (exclusive or otherwise) afforded the Directing Holder

-288-

to exercise any such right, make any such election or grant or withhold any such consent shall thereupon be deemed to have expired with the same force and effect as if the specific time period set forth in this Agreement applicable thereto had itself expired. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Holder or any advice from the Directing Holder would cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate applicable law, the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, any related Intercreditor Agreements, the REMIC Provisions or the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall disregard such refusal to consent or advice and notify the Directing Holder, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor.

(l)           Any modification, waiver or amendment of, or consents or approvals relating to, a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Loan (i) shall be performed by the Special Servicer and not the Master Servicer, (ii) to the extent provided in this Agreement and/or the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, shall be subject to the consent of the related Directing Holder and (iii) shall be structured so as to be consistent with the allocation and payment priorities in the related Loan Documents and Intercreditor Agreement, if any, such that neither the Trust as holder of the Mortgage Loan nor a holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan gains a priority over the other such holder that is not reflected in the related Loan Documents and Intercreditor Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall enter into, or structure (including, without limitation, by way of the application of credits, discounts, forgiveness or otherwise), any modification, waiver, amendment, work-out, consent or approval with respect to any Mortgage Loan in a manner that would be inconsistent with the allocation and payment priorities set forth in Section 1.02(f) hereof or in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(m)         In addition, with respect to a Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer, prior to taking action with respect to any Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision), shall refer the request to the Special Servicer, which 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 of the Special Servicer) process such request. If the Master Servicer processes such request and is recommending approval of such request, the Master Servicer shall prepare and submit its written recommendation and analysis to the Special Servicer with all information in the Master Servicer’s possession 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 the consultation rights of the Operating Advisor and Risk Retention Consultation Parties or the consent or consultation rights of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.07) to approve or disapprove any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision. When the Special Servicer’s consent is required hereunder, such consent shall be deemed given 15 Business Days, or such longer time period pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement but not less than five (5) Business Days after the time period set forth therein for Directing Holder approval, (or in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, 90 days) after receipt (unless earlier objected

-289-

to) by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such proposed Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision together with such other information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer and reasonably available to the Master Servicer. Other than during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, neither the Master Servicer (with respect to any Major Decision processed by the Master Servicer) nor the Special Servicer (with respect to any Major Decision processed by the Special Servicer) will be permitted to take any action constituting a Major Decision, as to which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within 10 Business Days (or, in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, 30 days) after receipt by the Directing Holder of the Master Servicer’s and/or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, written analysis and recommendation together with such other information reasonably requested by the Directing Holder; provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, within such 10-Business Day (or 30-day) period, the Directing Holder will be deemed to have approved such action.

(n)          The Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with any notice that it receives relating to a default by the borrower under a ground lease where the collateral for the Mortgage Loan includes 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.

(o)          With respect to any Borrower request or other action on a non-Specially Serviced Loan that is not a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain the consent of or consult with the Special Servicer or the Directing Holder.

Section 3.27         Certain Intercreditor Matters Relating to the Whole Loans. (a) With respect to Serviced Whole Loans, except for those duties to be performed by, and notices to be furnished by, the Trustee under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall perform such duties and furnish such notices, reports and information on behalf of the Trust Fund as may be the obligation of the Trust, or the obligation of the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, following securitization, under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(b)          The Master Servicer shall maintain a register (the “Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder Register”) on which the Master Servicer shall record the names and addresses of the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and wire transfer instructions for such Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to the Master Servicer by a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder. Each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder has agreed to inform the Master Servicer of its name, address, taxpayer identification number and wiring instructions (to the extent the foregoing information is not already contained in the related Intercreditor Agreement) and of any transfer thereof (together with any instruments of transfer). The name and address of each initial Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder as of the Closing Date is set forth on Schedule VII hereto. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the information delivered by any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder until it receives notice of transfer or of any change in information.

In no event shall the Master Servicer be obligated to pay any party the amounts payable to a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder hereunder other than the Person listed as the

-290-

applicable Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder on the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder Register. In the event that a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder transfers the related Serviced Companion Loan without notice to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever for any misdirected payment on such Serviced Companion Loan and shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment.

The Master Servicer shall promptly provide the names and addresses of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder to any party hereto, any related Companion Loan Noteholder or any successor thereto upon written request, and any such party or successor may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information. The Master Servicer shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such names and addresses.

(c)          The Directing Holder shall not owe any fiduciary duty to the Trustee, any Master Servicer, any Special Servicer, any Certificateholder (including the Directing Holder, if applicable) or any noteholder of a Serviced Whole Loan. The Directing Holder will not have any liability to the Certificateholders (including the Directing Holder, if applicable) or any other noteholder of a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent, pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment.

(d)          With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise the consent rights, cure rights and purchase rights, as applicable, to the extent set forth in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement.

(e)          The Special Servicer (if any Serviced Companion Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or has become a Serviced REO Loan) or the Master Servicer (otherwise), as applicable, shall take all actions relating to the servicing and/or administration of, and (subject to Section 3.13 and Section 3.17 of this Agreement and the following paragraph) the preparation and delivery of reports and other information with respect to, the Serviced Whole Loan related to any Serviced Companion Loan or any related Serviced REO Property required to be performed by the holder of the related Mortgage Loan or contemplated to be performed by a servicer, in any case pursuant to and as required by each related Intercreditor Agreement and/or any related mezzanine intercreditor agreement existing on the Closing Date and any related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement not existing on the Closing Date that is provided to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. In addition notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the following considerations shall apply with respect to the servicing of a Serviced Companion Loan:

(i)          none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make any P&I Advance with respect to the Serviced Companion Loan; and

(ii)         the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each consult with and obtain the consent of the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder(s) to the extent required by the related Intercreditor Agreement.

The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall timely provide to each related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder any reports or notices required to be delivered to

-291-

such Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Special Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Special Servicer in preparing/delivering any such report or notice with respect to special servicing matters.

If any Serviced Companion Loan or any portion thereof or any particular payments thereon are included in a REMIC or a “grantor trust” (within the meaning of the Grantor Trust Provisions), then neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly take any action that would result in the equivalent of an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to such REMIC or adversely affect the tax status of such grantor trust as a grantor trust.

The parties hereto acknowledge that a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder shall not (1) owe any fiduciary duty to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Certificateholder or (2) have any liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement or the giving of any consent or for errors in judgment. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, shall be deemed to have confirmed its understanding that a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (i) may take or refrain from taking actions that favor its interests or the interests of its affiliates over the Certificateholders, (ii) may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of the Certificateholders and shall be deemed to have agreed to take no action against a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or conflicts and (iii) shall not be liable by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting solely in its interest or in the interest of its affiliates.

The parties hereto recognize and acknowledge the respective rights of each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder under the related Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the rights of a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder under or contemplated by this Section 3.27(e) may be exercisable by a designee thereof on its behalf; provided that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee are provided with written notice by the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder of such designation (upon which such party may conclusively rely) and the contact details of the designee.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, no direction or objection by the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law, this Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Paying Agent, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator (in any of its capacities) or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder.

Any reference to servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with any of the related Loan Documents (including the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage) shall also mean, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.

-292-

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

For purposes of exercising any rights that the Directing Holder of the Mortgage Note for any Mortgage Loan in a Serviced Whole Loan may have under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Directing Holder shall be the designee of the Trust, as such noteholder, and the Trustee shall, upon request, take such actions as may be necessary under the related Intercreditor Agreement to effect such designation. The Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of the identity of the Directing Holder (to the extent the Certificate Administrator has received notice of a change in the identity of the Directing Holder), upon request, to the other parties to the related Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent the identity and contact information of such parties to such Intercreditor Agreement are actually known to the Certificate Administrator.

(f)           With respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver information comparable to the above described information in Section 3.13(c) and Section 3.13(d) hereof to the same Persons as described above in Section 3.13(c) and Section 3.13(d) and according to the same time frames as described above in Section 3.13(c) and Section 3.13(d), to the extent such Master Servicer has timely received such information from the Other Servicer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Promptly following the Closing Date or, as applicable, upon the receipt of notice by the Certificate Administrator of the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Certificate Administrator shall send written notice (which notice may be by email) substantially in the form of Exhibit EE hereto, accompanied by a copy of an executed version of this Agreement, with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan to each applicable Other Depositor, Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer, Other Trustee, Other Operating Advisor and Other Asset Representations Reviewer stating that, as of the Closing Date, or, as applicable, the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Trustee is the holder of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing each such recipient to remit to the Master Servicer no later than one (1) Business Day after each Determination Date all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer no later than one (1) Business Day after each Determination Date all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement and Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Such notice shall also provide contact information for the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder, the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Rating Agencies.

With respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the applicable Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer or Other Trustee shall be replaced in accordance with the terms of the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, promptly upon notice thereof, the applicable party to this Agreement that receives such notice shall, upon request, acknowledge such successor as the successor to the Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer or Other Trustee, as the case may be.

With respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, upon its receipt of written notice of the replacement of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, the Certificate

-293-

Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to each related Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer, Other Trustee and Other Operating Advisor, together with relevant contact information of the successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable.

With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide each Companion Loan Noteholder and, if applicable, related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative), within the same time frame and to the same extent it is required to provide such information and materials to the Certificateholders or the Directing Holder, as applicable (but without regard to whether or not the Directing Holder actually has lost any rights to receive such information as a result of a Consultation Termination Event), hereunder with (1) copies of each financial statement received by the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents, (2) copies of any notice of default sent to the Borrower and (3) subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, copies of any other documents or information relating to the Serviced Whole Loan (including, without limitation, property inspection reports, loan servicing statements, Borrower requests and asset status reports) that the Master Servicer delivers to the related Directing Holder and copies of any other notice, information or report that it is required to provide to the Directing Holder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decision or with respect to any “major decisions” or “major actions” as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to such Serviced Whole Loan. Any copies to be furnished by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may be furnished by hard copy or electronic means.

(g)          With respect to each Whole Loan, if any Serviced Companion Loan becomes the subject of an “asset review” (or such analogous term defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or any other party to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with such asset review by providing the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably requested by the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party (not at its own expense or the expense of the Trust but at the expense of the related mortgage loan seller, such Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), but only to the extent that (i) Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party has not been able to obtain such documents from the related mortgage loan seller or any party to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian (i) shall have any further obligations with respect to any such asset review nor shall any such party be bound by the results of any such asset review, or (ii) shall be obligated to provide such documents if providing such documents, in its reasonable determination, would be a violation of this Agreement or any related Intercreditor Agreement.

(h)          To the extent that the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Intercreditor Agreement relating to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan permits the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan to terminate the related Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer or appoint a sub-servicer or replacement therefor, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the

-294-

Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates (or the Depositor with respect to any such right arising from such Other Servicer’s or Other Special Servicer’s failure to comply with Exchange Act reporting obligations) upon five (5) Business Days’ notice, shall, exercise the right to terminate the related Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer or appoint a sub-servicer or replacement therefor, as applicable.

(i)           To the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and any Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

Section 3.28         Directing Holder Contact with the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, not more frequently than once per month, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer via telephone available during normal business hours to verbally answer questions from the Directing Holder (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) and the Operating Advisor 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 3.29         Controlling Class Certificateholders, the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties; Certain Rights and Powers of the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties. (a) 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 Registrar and to notify the Certificate Registrar of the transfer of any Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership of any Control Eligible Certificate), the selection of a Trust Directing Holder or the resignation or removal thereof. Any such Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner) or its designee at any time appointed Trust Directing Holder 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 Registrar when such Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner) or designee is appointed Trust Directing Holder and when it is removed or resigns. Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder of the identity of the Trust Directing Holder, any resignation or removal thereof and/or any new Holder or Certificate Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate.

On the Closing Date, the initial Trust Directing Holder shall execute a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1G to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Trust Directing Holder, any successor Trust Directing Holder shall also execute and deliver a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1G to this Agreement to the parties to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Trust Directing Holder. Upon the resignation or removal of any existing Risk Retention Consultation Party, any successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall execute and deliver a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1H 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.

In addition, upon the request of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor or, for so long as no Consultation

-295-

Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder, the Certificate Registrar shall promptly (but no later than five (5) Business Days after such request) provide to the requesting party the identity of the then-current Controlling Class and a list of the Holders of Certificates of the Controlling Class. However, if any Certificate of the Controlling Class is a Global Certificate, then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following such request) request from the Depository, with the assistance of the Trustee, the list of Depository Participants for the Controlling Class and make reasonable efforts to obtain a list of Certificate Owners from such Depository Participants, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide such list of Depository Participants and such list of Certificate Owners (to the extent the Certificate Administrator obtains such list of Certificate Owners), to the requesting party promptly upon receipt. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the list of Depository Participants for the Controlling Class provided by the Depository and the list of Certificate Owners provided by any Depository Participant and shall not have any liability for such reliance; provided that, if any Certificate of the Controlling Class is a Global Certificate and the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge of the identity of the related Certificate Owner(s), then the Certificate Administrator shall include such Certificate Owner in the list provided to any requesting party pursuant to first sentence of this paragraph. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Directing Holder shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such information so provided. Any expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such information shall be at the expense of the requesting party, except that if (i) such expenses arise in connection with an event as to which the Directing Holder has review, consent or consultation rights with respect to an action taken by, or report prepared by, the requesting party pursuant to this Agreement or the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or in connection with a request made by the Operating Advisor in connection with its obligation under this Agreement to deliver a copy of the Operating Advisor Annual Report to the Directing Holder and (ii) the requesting party has not been notified of the identity of the Directing Holder or reasonably believes that the identity of the Directing Holder has changed, then such expenses shall be at the expense of the Trust.

To the extent the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any change in the identity of a Holder (or Certificate Owner(s)) of the Controlling Class, then the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Special Servicer thereof, who may rely conclusively on such notice from the Master Servicer.

(b)          The initial Trust Directing Holder on the Closing Date shall be Blackstone Real Estate Services LLC. The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to assume Blackstone Real Estate Services LLC, or any subsequent Trust Directing Holder selected in accordance with this Agreement and notified to the Certificate Registrar thereof in writing, is the Trust Directing Holder appointed by the Holder (or Certificate Owner) of each Class of Control Eligible Certificates, until the Certificate Registrar receives (i) written notice of a replacement Trust Directing Holder from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders by Certificate Balance, (ii) written notice from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, that a Trust Directing Holder is no longer designated, (iii) written notice from a Trust Directing Holder of the resignation of such Trust Directing Holder, or (iv) written notice that the Holder (or Certificate Owner) of a majority of the applicable Class of Control Eligible Certificates is no longer the Holder (or Certificate Owner) of a majority of the applicable Class of Control Eligible Certificates due to

-296-

a transfer of those Certificates (or a beneficial ownership interest in those Certificates). Upon the resignation of a Trust Directing Holder, the Certificate Administrator shall request the Controlling Class Certificateholders to select a new Trust Directing Holder.

In the event either (y) the Certificate Registrar receives notice identified in any of clause (ii) through (iv) of the immediately preceding paragraph and no successor Trust Directing Holder is then identified to the Certificate Registrar or (z) a party to this Agreement requests from the Certificate Administrator the identity of the Trust Directing Holder and such identity is not known to the Certificate Administrator, then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly deliver a notice of such event (the “Initial Notice”) to all the Certificateholders via the Depository (and a copy of such Initial Notice shall be simultaneously sent to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor), which notice shall include a request that the Controlling Class Certificateholder that believes it may own the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class represent in writing to the Certificate Administrator that it owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (with evidence of its ownership) and provide its contact information. Upon receipt of such written representation (and any subsequent written representation), the Certificate Administrator shall deliver a notice (the “Subsequent Notice”) to all the Certificateholders via the Depository of such representation (and a copy of such Subsequent Notice shall be simultaneously sent to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor) and so long as another party holding an equal or larger aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class does not provide a written representation within thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of the latest Subsequent Notice, the party making the original assertion shall become the Controlling Class Certificateholder until replaced by another party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) providing notice that it (or they) are the Holders of a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, shall have the right to select the Directing Holder at any time without regard to such 30-day period, and a Trust Directing Holder selected by the Holders of a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, shall be recognized as such immediately upon being selected in accordance with this Agreement whether or not such 30-day period has expired.

In the event that a Trust Directing Holder is selected pursuant to this Section 3.29(b) or there is deemed to be no Trust Directing Holder pursuant to this Section 3.29(b), the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee of the identity of the new Trust Directing Holder or the absence of a Trust Directing Holder, as applicable.

At any time more than 50% of the Percentage Interest of the Controlling Class Certificateholders direct the Certificate Administrator in writing to hold an election for a Trust Directing Holder, the Certificate Administrator shall hold such election as soon as practicable at the expense of such requesting Certificateholders.

(c)          The Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to request that the Certificate Administrator provide, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but no later than five (5) Business Days after such request) provide (i) for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the identity of the Directing Holder, including names and contact information and, to the extent

-297-

reasonably available, a list of Controlling Class Certificateholders and (ii) confirmation as to whether a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred in the 12 months preceding any such request or any other period specified in such request. In addition to the foregoing, (i) within two (2) Business Days of receiving notice of the selection of a new Directing Holder or the existence of a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or (ii) within ten (10) days of the commencement or cessation of any Consultation Termination Event or Control Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and post notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Any expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such information shall be at the expense of the requesting party, except that if (i) such expenses arise in connection with an event as to which the Directing Holder has review, consent or consultation rights with respect to an action taken by, or report prepared by, the requesting party pursuant to this Agreement or the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or in connection with a request made by the Operating Advisor in connection with its obligation under this Agreement to deliver a copy of the Operating Advisor Annual Report to the Directing Holder and (ii) the requesting party has not been notified of the identity of the Directing Holder or reasonably believes that the identity of the Directing Holder has changed, then such expenses shall be at the expense of the Trust.

The Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee shall be entitled to assume Blackstone Real Estate Services LLC is the Trust Directing Holder appointed by the Holder (or Certificate Owner) of each Class of Control Eligible Certificates until such party receives notice to the contrary. At any time that a party to this Agreement receives notice of the selection of a Trust Directing Holder from the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Administrator or a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, then such party to this Agreement shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Controlling Class Certificateholder and the Trust Directing Holder. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to obtain the consent of or consult with any entity appointed as a successor Directing Holder until the Special Servicer receives written notice of such successor Directing Holder’s identity and contact information.

Additionally, once a successor 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 VRR Interest entitled to appoint the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, 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 VRR Interest, in writing, of the selection of a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(d)          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 such event.

(e)          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 Companion Loan Noteholders;

-298-

(ii) the Directing Holder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class (or, in the case of a Whole Loan, in the interests of one or more Companion Loan Noteholders); (iii) the Directing Holder does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class (in the case of the Trust Directing Holder); (iv) the Directing Holder may take actions that favor the interests of the Directing Holder or one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of the Controlling Class (or, in the case of a Whole Loan, one or more Companion Loan Noteholders) over the interests of the Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates and other Companion Loan Noteholders; and (v) the Directing Holder shall have no liability whatsoever to any Certificateholder (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder (in the case of the Trust Directing Holder)), the Trust, any Companion Loan Noteholder any party hereto or any other Person (including any Borrower under a Mortgage Loan) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph, and no Certificateholder (other than a Controlling Class Certificateholder in the case of the Trust Directing Holder) or Companion Loan Noteholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Holder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

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

(f)           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, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or any Certificateholder and provide such information to the requesting party.

(g)          At any time when the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates is the Controlling Class, the Holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class Certificates (by Certificate Balance) may waive its right to act as, or appoint a representative to act as, the Directing Holder and to exercise any of the rights of the Directing Holder or cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Directing Holder by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Certificate Registrar, Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer. Any such waiver shall remain effective with respect to such Holder and the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates until such time as that Certificateholder has (i) sold a majority of the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates (by Certificate Balance) to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) certified to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Certificate Registrar, Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, that (a) the transferor retains no direct or indirect

-299-

voting rights with respect to the most senior Class of Control Eligible 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 controlling interest in the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates. During such waiver period a Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to exist and the rights of the Controlling Class to appoint a Directing Holder and the rights of the Directing Holder shall not be operative (notwithstanding whether a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event is or would otherwise then be in effect). Following any transfer of more than 50% of the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates, the successor Holder of more than 50% of the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates, if the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates is the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance) shall again have the right to act as, or appoint a representative to act as, the Directing Holder without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Certificateholder. The successor Certificateholder shall also have the right to irrevocably waive its right to act as or appoint a Directing Holder or to exercise any of the rights of the Directing Holder or cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Directing Holder. No successor Certificateholder described above shall have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to its acquisition of a majority of the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates that had not also become a Corrected Mortgage Loan prior to such acquisition until such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan.

(h)          The Directing Holder 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 Holder or, except in the case of any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, or, for so long as no related Control Appraisal Period is continuing, any related Serviced AB Mortgage Loan, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class. Likewise, a Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not have any consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded Loan as to such Risk Retention Consultation Party. In the case of an Excluded Loan relating to the Directing Holder, in respect of the servicing of any such Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Excluded Loan.

(i)           At any time that the Controlling Class Certificateholder is the Holder of a majority of the Class G Certificates and the Class G Certificates are the Controlling Class, it may waive its right (a) to appoint the Directing Holder and (b) to exercise any of the Directing Holder’s rights set forth in this Agreement by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor. During such time, the Special Servicer shall consult with only the Operating Advisor in connection with Asset Status Reports and material special servicing actions to the extent set forth in this Agreement, and no Controlling Class Certificateholder will be recognized or have any right to replace the Special Servicer or approve or be consulted with respect to Asset Status Reports or material special servicer actions. Any such waiver will remain effective until such time as the Controlling Class Certificateholder sells or transfers all or a portion of its interest in the Certificates to an unaffiliated third party if such unaffiliated third party then holds the majority of the Controlling Class after giving effect to such transfer. Following any such sale or transfer of the Class G Certificates, the successor Class G Certificateholder that is the Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be reinstated as, and will again have the rights of, the Controlling Class Certificateholder without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Certificateholder that was the Controlling Class

-300-

Certificateholder. The successor Class G Certificateholder that is the Controlling Class Certificateholder shall also have the right to irrevocably waive its right to appoint the Directing Holder and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder. In the event of any transfer of the Class G Certificates by a Controlling Class Certificateholder that had irrevocably waived its rights as described in this subsection (i), the successor Controlling Class Certificateholder that purchased such Class G Certificates, even if it does not waive its rights as described in the preceding sentence, shall not have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to such successor Controlling Class Certificateholder’s purchase of Class G Certificates and had not become a Corrected Mortgage Loan prior to such purchase until such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan.

Section 3.30         Rating Agency Confirmation. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any related Loan Documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Loan Documents or this Agreement requires Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) attempting and/or 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 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 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 Requesting Party has sent a request for a Rating Agency Confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider, such 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 3.14.

If there is no response to such Rating Agency Confirmation request within 5 Business Days of such second request in a RAC No Response Scenario or if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any 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, (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 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, (ii) it is listed on S&P’s Select Servicer List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Master Servicer or U.S. Commercial

-301-

Mortgage Special Servicer, as applicable, if S&P is the non-responding Rating Agency and (iii) KBRA 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 commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable 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 3.14(d) of this Agreement.

Promptly following the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.30(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 the case may be, shall provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider of the action taken for the particular item at such time, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.30, for purposes of 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, in the event of a RAC No-Response Scenario, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the Loan Documents with respect to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been required to make the determination described in Section 3.30(a) (as a result of such RAC No-Response Scenario) shall be deemed not to apply regardless of any such determination by the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Borrower, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and Serviced REO Loans), as applicable); provided that the Requesting Party (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) shall in any event review the other conditions required under the related 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 not specifically discussed in Section 3.30(a) above, the applicable Requesting Party shall deliver a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

(d)          Notwithstanding the terms of the related Loan Documents, the other provisions of this Agreement or the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan as to which there exists Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any

-302-

action relating to the servicing and administration of the related Whole Loan or any related REO Property (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 shall also require delivery of a Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action from each related Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency. Each Serviced 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 Serviced 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 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 Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, shall forward to one or more of its counterparts (i.e., the Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer, as applicable), the Other 17g-5 Information Provider, 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, at the expense of the Other Securitization to the extent not borne by the related Borrower, and in such format as the sender and recipient may reasonably agree, (i) the request for such Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, (ii) all materials forwarded to the 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 17g-5 Information Provider and (iii) any other materials that the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency may reasonably request in connection with such Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation promptly following receipt of such request from the Other Trustee.

The Certificate Administrator shall, promptly following receipt of written request from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, provide to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the contact information for the Other Servicer, the Other Special Servicer, the Other Trustee and the Other 17g-5 Information Provider for the Other Securitization, solely to the extent in its possession.

Section 3.31         Appointment and Duties of 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 CREFC® Servicer Watch List prepared by the Master Servicer and (ii) each Final Asset Status Report delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor. The Operating Advisor shall perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard.

In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, although the Operating Advisor may have certain consultation duties with the Master Servicer with respect to certain Major Decisions processed by the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor will have no obligations or responsibility at any time to review or assess the actions of the Master Servicer for compliance with the Servicing Standard, and the Operating Advisor will not be required to consider such Master Servicer actions in connection with any Operating Advisor Annual Report.

-303-

(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 3.31(i) 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)       During the continuance of a Control Termination Event, based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance, any attestation report, Asset Status Report and other information (other than any communication between the Directing Holder and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged 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, including each Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall (if any Serviced Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan) deliver to the Depositor, 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 4.02(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 3.14(d)) 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 BB (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), and 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 an Asset-Level Basis with respect to the resolution and/or liquidation of any Specially Serviced Loans that the Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event the Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to the entity that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall prepare a separate Operating Advisor Annual Report relating to the Excluded Special Servicer and any Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s) serviced by such Excluded Special Servicer. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, 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) based on the limited review required in this Agreement and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions). In preparing the Operating Advisor 

-304-

Annual Report, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to (A) 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 accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard, to be immaterial or (B) provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Depositor, 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 4.02(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 3.14(d)); 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 such Operating Advisor Annual Report’s 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be required from the Operating Advisor with respect to the Special Servicer, if during the prior calendar year, no Final Asset Status Report was prepared by the Special Servicer in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property.

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 and prohibitions. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided. If the Operating Advisor is prohibited or materially limited from obtaining Privileged Information and such prohibition or limitation prevents 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 such Privileged Information.

(d)      Other than during continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall 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 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, then the Operating Advisor shall notify the Special Servicer and the Directing Holder of such error).

(e)       During the continuance of a Control Termination Event, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, after the calculation has been finalized 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(i)), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 and 

-305-

in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable at no additional expense by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 five (5) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate and review for accuracy and consistency with this Agreement 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.

(i)        In connection with this Section 3.31(e), in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amount 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with each other in order to resolve any material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. The Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Master Servicer and provide any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is in the Special Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable at no additional cost by the Special Servicer. In the event the Operating Advisor and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and determine which calculation is to apply (and shall provide prompt written notice of such determination to the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable). 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).

(f)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Operating Advisor’s review of Appraisal Reduction Amount or net present value calculations as required above, the Operating Advisor’s recalculation shall not take into account the reasonableness of the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, property and borrower performance assumptions or other similar discretionary portions of the net present value calculation or Appraisal Reduction calculation.

(g)       Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor’s review shall 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 involvement with respect to the determination and execution of Major Decisions and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform 

-306-

under this Agreement and shall have no obligations at any time with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Operating Advisor’s review of the net present value 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.

(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 4.02(c) of this Agreement.

(i)        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 either the Directing Holder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and any applicable Excluded Loan and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) or the Risk Retention Consultation Parties (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and any applicable Excluded Loan), as applicable, disclose such labeled Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders other than the Directing Holder), 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, (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception or (3) where necessary to support specific findings or conclusions concerning allegations of deviations from the Servicing Standard or the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement (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 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 is continuing, the Directing Holder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and any applicable Excluded Loan) 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 borrower involved in this securitization, the knowledge of the employees performing operating advisor functions for such other securitizations shall not be imputed to employees of the Operating Advisor involved in this securitization.

(j)        On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Operating Advisor shall be paid the applicable Operating Advisor Fee from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, as applicable. 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 rights. Each of the Operating Advisor Fee and the 

-307-

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 Borrower. When the Operating Advisor has consultation rights with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing the Major Decision shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Borrower in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Loan Documents. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, each may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Borrower if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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)       The Operating Advisor 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 Agreement. 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.

(l)        In the event there are no Classes of Certificates outstanding other than the Control Eligible 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 will 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 accrued and unpaid compensation) and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination). If the Operating Advisor is terminated pursuant to this Section 3.31(l), then no replacement 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 3.31(l). The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to request that the Certificate Administrator provide, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but no later than five (5) Business Days after such request) provide, confirmation of whether a termination pursuant to this Section 3.31(l) has occurred.

When so posted, 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 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 Loan(s)). 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 notice with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan in the form of Exhibit L-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 on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, 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 obtain such information upon reasonable request in accordance with Section 3.14(c) and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, may require and rely on such certifications prior to releasing any such information.

Section 3.33   Certain Matters with Respect to Joint Mortgage Loans.

(a)       If a Mortgage Loan Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan (a “Repurchasing Seller”) repurchases, or substitutes for, the Note(s) (a “Repurchased Note”) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, but the other Mortgage Loan Seller(s) of such Joint Mortgage Loan does not repurchase, or substitute for, the Note(s) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, the provisions of this Section 3.33 shall apply prior to the adoption, pursuant to Section 12.08, of any amendment to this Agreement that provides otherwise. Each Mortgage Loan Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan has agreed pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that the terms set forth in this Section 3.33 with respect to the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan shall apply if one or more of the Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan has been repurchased or, by way of substitution, otherwise removed from the Trust and at least one other Note related to such Joint Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust until such time as all of the Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan are no longer included in the Trust. For purposes of this Section 3.33 and Section 12.08 only, “Note” shall mean with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each original promissory note and all allonges that collectively represents the Note 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 Loan Documents with respect to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan shall be held exclusively by the Trustee or the Custodian as provided under this Agreement, except that the Repurchasing Seller shall hold and retain title to its original Repurchased Note and any related endorsements thereof.

(i)     All of the Notes with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any other portion

-309-

of the other Notes or security therefor. Payments from the related Borrower (including, without limitation, any late fees) or any other amounts received with respect to each 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 Note based on its respective Repurchased Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.33(b)(ii). Payments or any other amounts received with respect to the related Repurchased Note shall be held for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Seller and remitted (net of its pro rata share of any Master Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Operating Advisor Fees and any other amounts due to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) to the applicable Repurchasing Seller or its designee by the Master Servicer on each Distribution Date pursuant to instructions provided by the applicable Repurchasing Seller and deposited and applied in accordance with this Agreement, subject to (ii). If any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.33 applies becomes REO Loans, payments or any other amounts received with respect to any such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be collected and shall be applied upon receipt by the Master Servicer pro rata to each related Note based on its respective Repurchased Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.33(b)(ii). Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan subject to this Section 3.33 shall be allocated to each related Note pro rata based upon the respective Stated Principal Balances thereof.

(ii)       If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives an aggregate payment of less than the aggregate amount due under any such Joint Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall receive from the Master Servicer an amount equal to such Repurchasing Seller’s Repurchased Percentage Interest of such payment. All expenses, losses and shortfalls relating solely to such Joint Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, losses of principal or interest, Nonrecoverable Advances, interest on Advances, Operating Advisor expenses, Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees (including any such fees related to the applicable Notes), shall be allocated between the holders of the related Notes pro rata based upon the respective Stated Principal Balances thereof. In no event shall any costs, expenses, fees or any other amounts related to any Mortgage Loan or Joint Mortgage Loan other than the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan be deducted from payments or any other amounts received with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and payable to the applicable Repurchasing Seller. For purposes of (i), this (ii) and Section 3.33(g), “Repurchased Percentage Interest” shall mean the percentage interest of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan.

(iii)      A Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.33 applies shall be serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Seller and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance with the Servicing Standard and in accordance with the provisions herein as if (A) such Joint Mortgage Loan were a Serviced Whole Loan, (B) the related Note(s) not repurchased were (1) a Mortgage Loan serviced pursuant to this Agreement and (2) the only Mortgage Loan that is part of such Joint Mortgage Loan, and (C) the related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Companion Loan. No Repurchasing Seller shall be permitted to terminate the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor as servicer, special servicer or operating advisor, respectively, of the related Repurchased Note. All rights of the mortgagee under each such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be exercised by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on

-310-

behalf of the Trust to the extent of its interest therein and the applicable Repurchasing Seller in accordance with this Agreement.

(iv)      The related Repurchasing Seller shall be treated hereunder as if it were a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder on a pari passu basis. Funds collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and applied to the applicable Notes shall be deposited and disbursed in accordance with the provisions hereof relating to Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. 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 Note were a Serviced Companion Loan. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, 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 Note is part of the Trust, an Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note. Except as otherwise specified herein, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no reporting requirement with respect to any Repurchased Note other than to deliver to the related Repurchasing Seller any document as is required to be delivered to a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder hereunder.

(c)       If any non-repurchased Note relating to a Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.33 applies is considered 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 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 payable to the Special Servicer under this Agreement as with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan.

(d)      If (A) the Master Servicer shall pay any amount to any Repurchasing Seller pursuant to the terms hereof in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been made or will be received or collected in connection with either or both of the applicable Notes and (B) such related payment is not received or collected by the Master Servicer, then the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall promptly on demand by the Master Servicer return such amount to the Master Servicer. If the Master Servicer determines at any time that any amount received or collected by the Master Servicer in respect of any Joint Mortgage Loans to which this Section 3.33 applies must be returned to the related Borrower or paid to any other person or entity pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the related Repurchasing Seller, and such Repurchasing Seller shall promptly on demand by the Master Servicer repay (which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement) any portion thereof that the Master Servicer shall have distributed to such Repurchasing Seller, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Master Servicer may pay to the related Borrower 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 Holder 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 Loan Documents as provided hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the

-311-

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 Borrower on or any guarantor of any Joint Mortgage Loan it is required to service and administer as contemplated by this Section 3.33, without the consent of the related Repurchasing Seller, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement as they pertain to a Serviced Companion Loan.

(f)       In taking or refraining from taking any action permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be subject to the same degree of care with respect to the administration and servicing of the Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.33 applies as is consistent with this Agreement; and shall be liable to any Repurchasing Seller only to the same extent as set forth herein with respect to any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan.

(g)       If the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has made an Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note which would otherwise be reimbursable to such advancing party under this Agreement, and such Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall reimburse the Trust in an amount equal to such Repurchasing Seller’s Repurchased Percentage Interest of such Nonrecoverable Advance with interest thereon; provided that, if the Repurchasing Seller does not reimburse the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trustee, itself and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such amounts from the Collection Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (and amounts due to the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall not be offset) for Advances or interest thereon or any amounts related to any Mortgage Loans or any other Joint Mortgage Loan other than such amounts relating to the applicable Repurchased Note. To the extent that the applicable Repurchasing Seller reimburses any such Nonrecoverable Advances and such amounts are subsequently recovered, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall receive a reimbursement from such recovery based on its Repurchased Percentage Interest of such recovery. This reimbursement right shall not limit the Trustee’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s rights to reimbursement under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the total liability of each Repurchasing Seller shall not exceed an amount equal to its Repurchased Percentage Interest of the amount to be reimbursed.

(h)       Each Repurchasing Seller shall have the right to assign the related Repurchased Note; provided that the assignee of the related Repurchased Note shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

(i)        The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, in connection with their servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement, exercise efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to execute and deliver, on behalf of each Repurchasing Seller as a holder of a pari passu interest in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan, any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents and instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage or other security document related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to or with respect to the related Joint Mortgage Loan documents, and any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of full release or discharge, and all other

-312-

comparable instruments with respect to the related Repurchased Note or related Repurchased Notes and the related Mortgaged Property all in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement. Each Repurchasing Seller agrees to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer any powers of attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such Repurchasing Seller shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; and further provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, without the written consent of the applicable Repurchasing Seller, shall not initiate any action in the name of such Repurchasing Seller without indicating its representative capacity or take any action with the intent to cause and that actually causes, such Repurchasing Seller to be registered to do business in any state.

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

(e)       Gain-on-Sale Accounts. 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 Gain-on-Sale Proceeds therein) would be sufficient to pay all interest and principal due and owing to reimburse all previously allocated Realized Losses reimbursable to the Holders of the Non-VRR 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 Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (or sub-account thereof) and shall deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date an amount (to be included in the Aggregate Available Funds for the related Distribution Date for allocation between the VRR Interest and the Non-VRR Certificates) equal to the lesser of (i) the amounts then on deposit in the Gain-on-Sale 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).

Any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions on any Distribution Date that (A) are allocable to the Mortgage Loans shall be held and maintained in such account and applied to offset future Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, and Additional Trust Fund Expenses from time to time; and (B) are allocable to the Serviced Companion Loans, shall be remitted within one Business Day after each such

-319-

Distribution Date by the Certificate Administrator to the Master Servicer (which shall remit to the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders in accordance with Section 3.05(h)).

On each Distribution Date, immediately after giving effect to the operation of the two preceding paragraphs, amounts held in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts allocable to any related Serviced Companion Loan pursuant to the terms of any related Intercreditor Agreement) that exceed amounts reasonably required (as determined by the Certificate Administrator) to offset future Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, and Additional Trust Fund Expenses, shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LTR Interest) and, upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts allocable to any related Serviced Companion Loan pursuant to the terms of any related Intercreditor Agreement) shall be distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LTR Interest). Amounts paid with respect to the Mortgage Loans from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) shall first be deemed to have been distributed to the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in reimbursement of Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously allocated thereto in the same manner as provided in Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement. Amounts paid from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account will not reduce the Certificate Balances of any Class of Non-VRR Certificates, Class S Certificates or the VRR Interest receiving such distributions.

(f)       Realized Losses. On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01(b), the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount, if any, of the Realized Loss and VRR Realized Loss for such Distribution Date. Any allocation of Realized Losses to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates and VRR Realized Losses to the VRR Interest shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. The allocation of Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses shall constitute allocations of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust Fund.

The Certificate Balances of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution on any Distribution Date as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses allocated to such Class of Certificates with respect to such date. Any such write-offs will be applied to the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in the following order, in each case until the Certificate Balance of such Class is reduced to zero: first, to the Class H Certificates; second, to the Class G Certificates; third, to the Class F Certificates; fourth, to the Class E Certificates; fifth, to the Class D Certificates; sixth, to the Class C Certificates, seventh, to the Class B Certificates; eighth, to the Class A-M Certificates; and finally, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Certificate Balances.

Any Realized Losses so allocated to any Class of Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

On each Distribution Date, any VRR Realized Loss for such Distribution Date shall be allocated to the VRR Interest; and, in connection therewith, the Certificate Balance shall be reduced without distribution, as a write-off, to the extent of such VRR Realized Loss.

-320-

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 VRR Interest shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c), as applicable. Additional Trust Fund Expenses and shortfalls in Aggregate Available Funds due to extraordinary expenses of the Trust Fund (including indemnification expenses), a reduction in the Mortgage Rate on a Mortgage Loan by a bankruptcy court pursuant to a plan of reorganization or pursuant to any of its equitable powers, or otherwise, shall be treated as and allocated in the same manner as Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses and VRR 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 or VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interests in respect of which any such reimbursement is made.

If and to the extent that any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (including REO 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-VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in the same sequential order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(b), in each case up to the lesser of (A) the unallocated portion of the Non-VRR 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 Non-VRR 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 Principal Balance Certificates had never been written down; and (ii) the VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interests up to the lesser of (A) the VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery and (B) the amount of the unreimbursed VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interests, and the interest payable on the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interests shall be deemed increased by the VRR Allocation Percentage of any contemporaneous increases in interest payable on the Non-VRR 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 Non-VRR Certificates or the VRR 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 any Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interests (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 VRR 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.

With respect to any Distribution Date, any Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, allocated pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Distribution Date

-321-

shall reduce the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests as a write-off and shall be allocated among the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the same priority as the Class of Corresponding Certificates.

(g)       All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01 on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

(h)       Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 with respect to an Anticipated Termination Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as reasonably practicable within the month preceding the month in which the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made, mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates on such date a notice to the effect that:

(A)      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

(B)      if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after such Distribution Date;

provided that the Class R Certificates shall remain outstanding until no other Class of Certificates or Lower-Tier Regular Interests are outstanding.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of such Classes of Certificates 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 for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Holders 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 Holders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust

-322-

and of contacting such Holders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 Holder on any amount held hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Holder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h). Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

(i)        The Non-VRR Percentage of the Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to the Mortgage Loans, if any, for each Distribution Date shall be allocated (and the Non-VRR Percentage of Compensating Interest Payments shall be deemed distributed) among the various Classes of Non-VRR Certificates, and the VRR Percentage of the Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to the Mortgage Loans, if any, for each Distribution Date shall be deemed allocated (and the VRR Percentage of Compensating Interest Payments shall be deemed distributed) to the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interests and, in each case, correspondingly to the respective Class or Classes of Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests, pro rata, based upon the Interest Accrual Amount distributable to each such Class of Certificates prior to reduction by such Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. Compensating Interest Payments shall be deposited by the Master Servicer into the Collection Account on or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date.

(j)        On the final Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer Remittance Date in accordance with Section 3.06(e)(v) of this Agreement.

(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 with respect to each ARD Loan during the related Collection Period shall be distributed (i) to the Holders of the Class S Certificates in an amount equal to the Non-VRR Percentage of such Excess Interest; (ii) to the Holders of the VRR Interest, pro rata, in an aggregate amount equal to the product of (A) the VRR Percentage, multiplied by (B) the amount of such Excess Interest.

Section 4.02   Statements to Certificateholders; Reports by Certificate Administrator; Other Information Available to the Holders and Others. (a) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare and make available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website to each Certificateholder a statement (substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit K to this Agreement and based on the information set forth in (i) the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package (CREFC^® IRP) prepared by the Master Servicer (other than the CREFC^®

In the event the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder 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 L-1E that such party is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder and identify the Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) and thereafter shall not be entitled to any Excluded Information related to such Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) and made available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. With respect to any Excluded Information, 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 may be segregated on loan-by-loan basis) from information relating to other Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be

-331-

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 or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received such notice 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 Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any communication to the Directing Holder 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 Loan (including, in the case of a summary 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 (i) any written notice from the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder and (ii) any certification delivered by the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, substantially in the form of Exhibit L1-B that such Person 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 information related to the Excluded Controlling Class Loan to the related Borrower or to any Excluded Controlling Class Holder or (A) any employees or personnel of such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder or any Affiliate involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower or the related Mortgaged Property or (B) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower, 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 any of the Risk Retention Consultation Parties or a Holder of the VRR Interest 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), inspection reports related to Specially Serviced Loans conducted by the Special Servicer or any Excluded 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, 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 Holder of the VRR 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 the VRR

-332-

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, for the purposes of this paragraph, 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.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of such information and assumes no responsibility therefor. In addition, the Certificate Administrator may disclaim responsibility for any information distributed or filed by the Certificate Administrator for which it is not the original source. The Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information supplied to it by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that is included in any reports, statements, materials or information prepared or provided by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the Master Servicer’s reports and the Special Servicer’s reports without any duty or obligation to recompute, verify or re-evaluate any of the amounts or other information stated therein. In connection with providing access to the Certificate Administrator’s Internet website, the Certificate Administrator may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any Excluded Information to the extent such information was included in any summary of an Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and not properly identified as Excluded Information.

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 provisions in this Section 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.

(c)       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 Certificate Owners who are Privileged Persons may (A) submit questions to the Certificate Administrator relating to the Distribution Date Statement, (B) submit questions to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, relating to the reports being made available pursuant to this Section 4.02(c), the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Mortgaged Properties and (C) submit questions to the Operating Advisor relating to the Operating Advisor Annual Reports or actions by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as to which the Operating Advisor has consultation rights, whether or not referenced in any Operating

-333-

Advisor Annual Reports or other reports prepared by the Operating Advisor (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 or the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (and in the case of an inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the applicable party under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) in each case within a commercially reasonable period following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer (other than with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans or related Mortgaged Properties) or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless it determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall be sent by email 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 be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Investor Q&A Forum. 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 outlined 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 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 Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering such inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception), (vi) answering such 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 not advisable for any reason, 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, and the Certificate Administrator shall not post such Inquiry on the Investor Q&A Forum. In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose information known to such party to be Privileged Information as part of its response to any Inquiry. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry if the Inquiry will not be answered. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to post to the Investor Q&A Forum 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 between the Certificate Administrator or other Person which are not submitted via the Investor Q&A Forum. In addition, no party is permitted to post or otherwise disclose direct communication with the Directing Holder or any Risk Retention Consultation Party (in its capacity as Risk Retention Consultation Party) as part of its response to any questions. 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.

(d)      The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder and Certificate Owner, the Investor Registry. The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where Certificateholders and Certificate

-334-

Owners can register and thereafter obtain contact information with respect to any other Certificateholder 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 or a Certificate Owner and (b) it grants authorization to the Certificate Administrator to make its name and contact information available on the Investor Registry for at least 45 days from the date of such certification to other registered Certificateholders and registered Certificate Owners. 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 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.

(e)       The Master Servicer may at its sole cost and expense, but is not required to, make any of the reports or files it delivers pursuant to this Agreement available on the Master Servicer’s website only with the use of a password, in which case the Master Servicer shall provide such password to (i) the other parties to this Agreement, who by their acceptance of such password shall be deemed to have agreed not to disclose such password to any other Person and (ii) each Certificateholder and prospective Certificateholder who requests such password, provided that any such Certificateholder or prospective Certificateholder, as the case may be, has delivered an Investor Certification to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer. In connection with providing access to the Master Servicer’s website, the Master Servicer may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer and otherwise (subject to the preceding sentence) adopt reasonable rules and procedures, which may include, to the extent the Master Servicer deems necessary or appropriate, conditioning access on execution of an agreement governing the availability, use and disclosure of such information, and which may provide indemnification to the Master Servicer for any liability or damage that may arise therefrom. The Master Servicer shall not be liable for dissemination of this information in accordance with this Agreement, 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer may, at its sole cost and expense, make available by electronic media, bulletin board service or Internet website any reports or other information the Master Servicer is required or permitted to provide to any Borrower with respect to such Borrower’s Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan to the extent such action does not conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the related Loan Documents or applicable law. If the Master Servicer is required to deliver any statement, report or other information under any provision of this Agreement, then, the Master Servicer 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 its website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery; provided that all reports required to be

-335-

delivered to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered in accordance with clause (x) or (y) or, upon request, clause (z).

(f)       Subject to Section 3.13, the Special Servicer shall from time to time (and, in any event, as may be reasonably requested 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 reasonably 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 allocating Realized Losses to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.01 of this Agreement and preparing the statements to Certificateholders required by Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement.

(g)       As soon as reasonably practicable, upon the written request of and at the expense of any Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall provide the requesting Certificateholder with such information that is in the Certificate Administrator’s possession or can reasonably be obtained by the Certificate Administrator as is requested by such Certificateholder, 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.

(h)       The Certificate Administrator shall make available at its offices, during normal business hours, upon not less than two Business Days prior notice, for review by any Privileged Person and any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder that is a Privileged Person (solely with respect to items (ii) and (iii), to the extent such information relates to the related Serviced Companion Loan), originals or copies of documents relating to the Mortgage Loans and any related REO Properties to the extent in its possession, including, without limitation, the following items (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or under any of the related Loan Documents):

(i)        any and all notices and reports delivered to the Certificate Administrator with respect to any Mortgaged Property as to which the environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.10(f) of this Agreement revealed that neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) thereof was satisfied;

(ii)       the most recent annual (or more frequent, if available) operating statements, rent rolls (to the extent such rent rolls have been made available by the related Borrower) and/or lease summaries and retail sales information, if any, received from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in respect to each Mortgaged Property;

(iii)      the Mortgage File, including any and all modifications, waivers and amendments of the terms of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan entered into by the

-336-

Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer and delivered to the Certificate Administrator; and

(iv)      any other information that may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of subsection (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

The Certificate Administrator may require a Privileged Person to execute an Investor Certification prior to granting access to such information, which may be in the form of a “click-through” confirmation. Copies of any and all of the foregoing items will be available from the Certificate Administrator upon request. The Certificate Administrator will be permitted to require payment by the requesting party (other than a Rating Agency) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of making such information available and providing any copies thereof. The Certificate Administrator’s obligation under this Section 4.02(h) to make available any document is subject to the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such document.

The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for providing or disseminating information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(i)        The Depositor hereby authorizes the Certificate Administrator to make available to any Financial Market Publisher or such other vendor chosen by the Depositor that submits to the Certificate Administrator a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 to this Agreement, all the Distribution Date Statements, CREFC^® reports and supplemental notices delivered or made available pursuant to this Section 4.02 to Privileged Persons.

Section 4.03   Compliance with Withholding Requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders and other payees of interest, original issue discount or other amounts that the Paying Agent reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required for any such withholding. If the Paying Agent or its agent withholds any amount from interest, original issue discount payments or other amounts or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Paying Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder or payee. Any amount so withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to such Certificateholder for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 4.04   REMIC Compliance. (a) The parties intend that the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier 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 at all times any Certificates are outstanding, 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 such REMIC and shall on behalf of each such REMIC:

(i)   make or cause to be made an election, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on Form 1066 for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions;

-337-

(ii)    prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, and cause the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall sign), all required Tax Returns for the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each of such REMIC as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal, state or local income tax laws;

(iii)   prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders 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;

(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 the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or is otherwise required by the Code, prepare 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)    within 30 days of the Closing Date, obtain a taxpayer identification number for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 and (in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC only), furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the person that the Certificateholders may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of the Upper-Tier REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such 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, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing); and

(vi)   maintain such records relating to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information, such records, for federal income tax purposes, to be maintained on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

The Certificate Administrator shall be designated as the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code of each Trust REMIC. Each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, by acceptance hereof, is deemed to have consented to such designation and agrees to execute any documents required to give effect thereto, and any fees and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding shall be paid by the Trust Fund.

The Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally take any action or intentionally omit to take any action if, in taking or omitting to take such action, the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that such action or omission (as the case may be) would cause the termination of the REMIC status of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the imposition of tax on the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than a tax on income expressly

-338-

permitted to be received by the terms of this Agreement). Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph 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, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer which does not enable the Certificate Administrator to comply with any of clauses (i) through (vi) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.04(a) or which results in any action contemplated by clauses (i) or (ii) of the next succeeding sentence. In this regard the Certificate Administrator shall (i) exercise reasonable care not to allow the occurrence of any “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Section 860F(a) of the Code, 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 the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or (C) cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC; and (ii) exercise reasonable care not to allow the Trust Fund to receive any contributions, or any income from the performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by a REMIC (provided that the receipt of any income expressly permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to violate this clause). None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Depositor shall be (i) permitted to take any action that the Certificate Administrator would not be permitted to take pursuant to the preceding two sentences or (ii) responsible or liable (except in connection with taking any act or omission referred to in the two preceding sentences or the following sentence) for any failure by the Certificate Administrator to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.04. The Depositor, the Trustee, 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 Trustee’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.

The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the preparation of IRS Form W-9, if requested. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on any information contained therein and is hereby directed to execute such IRS Form W-9; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be directed to execute such IRS Form W-9 (in lieu of the Trustee) if permitted by applicable Treasury Regulations.

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 REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by any Trust REMIC under Section 6226 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 any Class R Certificate, past or present. A Holder of any Class R Certificate agrees, by acquiring such interest, to any such elections and to the Certificate Administrator’s designation as “partnership representative” of each REMIC under Section 6223 of the Code.

-339-

(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 Certificates: (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 will prepay in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption; (ii) none of the Sole Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interests in the Controlling Class 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 by a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

Section 4.05   Imposition of Tax on the Trust Fund. If any tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates; provided that any taxes imposed on any net income from foreclosure property pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local jurisdiction shall instead be treated as an expense of the related Serviced REO Property in determining Net REO Proceeds with respect to the Serviced REO Property (and until such taxes are paid, the Special Servicer from time to time shall withdraw from amounts in the REO Account (and, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, from amounts in the Serviced Whole Loan REO Account) allocable to the Mortgage Loans and transfer to the Certificate Administrator amounts reasonably determined by the Certificate Administrator to be necessary to pay such taxes, which the Certificate Administrator shall maintain in a separate, non-interest-bearing account, and the Certificate Administrator shall send to the Special Servicer for deposit in the REO Account (or, if applicable, the Serviced Whole Loan REO Account) the excess determined by the Certificate Administrator from time to time of the amount in such account over the amount necessary to pay such taxes) and shall be paid therefrom; 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)(xii) or, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, in Section 3.06(b)(xiii), 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 Aggregate Available Funds sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by the applicable Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund or in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan with a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, on a pro rata basis as between the related Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (based on their respective outstanding principal balances)) 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 allocable to the Mortgage Loans from any “prohibited transaction” under Section 860F(a) of the Code or (ii) the amount of any contribution to the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier 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 tax (and return the balance thereof, if any, to the Collection Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account or the Upper-Tier 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, as the case may be, and

-340-

shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders of Non-VRR Certificates and the VRR Interest, or the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, until they are fully reimbursed and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC except to the extent such tax is attributable to a breach of a representation or warranty or the negligence or willful misconduct 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, provided, further, that such breach, act or omission could result in liability under Section 6.03 of this Agreement, in the case of the Master Servicer, Section 4.04 of this Agreement, in the case of the Trustee or Section 4.04 of this Agreement, in the case of the Certificate Administrator in accordance with the standard of liability set forth in those sections. 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 Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s breaches, acts or omissions, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

Section 4.06   Remittances. On the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing shall:

(i)      remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account an amount equal to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges, and, for deposit in accordance with Section 3.05(i) of this Agreement, Gain-on-Sale Proceeds, in each case received by the Master Servicer in its Collection Period preceding such Distribution Date;

(ii)     remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate of the Aggregate Available Funds for such Distribution Date;

(iii)    remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account an amount equal to the Excess Interest for the benefit of the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates received by the Master Servicer in the Collection Period preceding such Distribution Date; and

(iv)    remit to CREFC^® the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee.

Section 4.07   P&I Advances. (a) On or before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall in the case of all Mortgage Loans either (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances; provided that such amounts in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account

shall only be applied up to the related Mortgage Loan’s pro rata share of the amounts held therein on such date, 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 by the Master Servicer, 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^®. Any amounts held in the Collection Account or any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, 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 or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, on or before the next succeeding P&I Advance Determination Date (to the extent not previously replaced through either (x) the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made or (y) the deposit of Periodic Payments collected prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period that ends after the P&I Advance Determination Date in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and 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 the P&I Advance Determination Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Master Servicer Remittance Date, then the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.06 of this Agreement by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date, in each case unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and shall have provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee) by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date or the Trustee determines that such P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required to make principal or interest advances with respect to any delinquent payment amounts due on any Companion Loan. 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 or Non-Serviced Companion Loan, then it shall provide written notice to the related Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee 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 4.07(c) and 4.07(d) below, the aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date shall equal the aggregate of: (i) the Periodic Payments (other than any Balloon Payment) (net of related Servicing Fees (other than, in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the servicing fee rate pursuant to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement)) that were due on the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to any other Companion Loan) during the related Collection Period and delinquent as of the P&I Advance Determination 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 (including any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to any other 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, with respect to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing, is mandatory, and with respect to any applicable Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, shall continue until (but not including) the Distribution Date on which Liquidation Proceeds or REO Proceeds, if any, are to be distributed. The Periodic Payment or Assumed Scheduled Payment

-342-

shall be reduced, for purposes of P&I Advances, by any modifications pursuant to Section 3.26 of this Agreement or otherwise and by any reductions by a bankruptcy court pursuant to a plan of reorganization or pursuant to any of its equitable powers.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required hereunder if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make any P&I Advance to the extent that it has received written notice that the Special Servicer has determined (if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, in consultation with the Directing Holder) that such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. In making such recoverability determination, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to (i) give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the recovery of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, 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 recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount which is being or may be deferred or delayed, (ii) consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (or the Whole Loan, as applicable) as it may have been modified, (iii) 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 (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (iv) estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) (among other things) future expenses, (v) estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries, and (vi) with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, consider any nonrecoverability determination of the Other Servicer or Other Trustee relating to a principal and interest advance for a Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior P&I Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advances were unreimbursed P&I Advances. None of the Master Servicer or Trustee shall make any P&I Advances with respect to delinquent amounts due on any Companion Loan. If an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property shall not have been obtained within the prior 9-month period (and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each request any such appraisal from the Special Servicer prior to ordering an Appraisal pursuant to this sentence) or if such an Appraisal shall have been obtained but as a result of unforeseen occurrences, such Appraisal does not, in the good faith determination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reflect current market conditions, and the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and the Special Servicer cannot agree on the appropriate downward adjustment to such Appraisal, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, may, subject to its reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the Trust Fund (subject, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, to the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement).

-343-

Any such determination by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee that the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance shall be evidenced by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Noteholder(s), the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) and the Depositor and, in the case of the Trustee, by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, delivered to the Depositor, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, which in each case sets forth such nonrecoverability determination and the considerations of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (such certificate accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and other information used by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination, together with any existing Appraisal or any Updated Appraisal); provided 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 nonrecoverable and shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) (and, with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement into which the related Companion Loan is deposited), the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), notice of such determination, together with a certificate of a Servicing Officer and the supporting information described above. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee.

Any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination or prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a P&I Advance constitutes, or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) and (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) may obtain, at the expense of the Trust Fund (subject, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, to the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement), any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes. Absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders.

Notwithstanding the above, (i) the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on and be bound by any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that a P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance and (ii) the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on and be bound by any determination of the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance (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 an advance constitutes, or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance). The Trustee, in determining whether or not a P&I Advance previously made is, or a proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be, a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance shall use its good faith business judgment. The

-344-

Special Servicer shall promptly furnish the Master Servicer and the Trustee with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as each such party may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations.

(d)          In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement or any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06(b) of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay itself or the Trustee, as the case may be (in reverse of such order with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property) out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account (subject to the provisions of Section 3.06) (to the extent amounts therein relate to the Mortgage Loans, taking into account 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 with respect to the Mortgage Loan that the Master Servicer is servicing; provided, however, that no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance (i) made with respect to a Mortgage Loan until 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 Business Day immediately prior to the related Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account with respect to the Mortgage Loan that the Master Servicer is servicing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.06 of this Agreement, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Yield Maintenance Charges, Excess Interest or Penalty Charges and (ii) if the Master Servicer receives notice of an Appraisal Reduction Event and the related Appraisal Reduction Amount, the interest portion of any P&I Advance with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan as to which there has been an Appraisal Reduction Amount will be an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount required to be advanced without giving effect to the Appraisal Reduction Amount and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the immediately preceding Determination Date less any Appraisal Reduction Amount applicable to such Mortgage Loan and the denominator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of such Determination Date. All P&I Advances for any Mortgage Loans that have been modified shall be calculated on the basis of their terms as modified. With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, does not receive notice of an Appraisal Reduction Event and the related Appraisal Reduction Amount from the related Other Servicer, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no obligation to proportionately reduce the interest portion of any P&I Advance required to be made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. With respect to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan that has already been securitized prior to the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, shall notify each Other Servicer and each Other Trustee of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that (a) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has been included in this Trust and (b) upon (i) the existence of an Appraisal Reduction Event and/or (ii) the related calculation of any Appraisal Reduction Amount (or receipt of notice of any such calculation), such Other Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer (who shall promptly provide to the Special Servicer (who shall promptly forward, so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, to the Directing Holder) and

-345-

the Trustee with prompt notice of the existence of any such Appraisal Reduction Event and/or any such Appraisal Reduction Amount once calculated. With respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall notify the related Other Servicer and Other Trustee of the existence of an Appraisal Reduction Event and any related Appraisal Reduction Amount. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have delivered notice of any such Appraisal Reduction Event and any related Appraisal Reduction Amount if the Master Servicer includes such event and/or amount in its monthly servicer statements provided to the other servicer.

The portion of any Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds in respect of a Mortgage Loan or any REO Loan allocable to principal shall equal the total amount of such proceeds minus (i) any portion thereof payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) a portion thereof equal to the interest component of the Periodic Payment(s), as accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate from the date as to which interest was last paid by the Borrower up to but not including the Due Date in the Collection Period in which such proceeds are received; provided that, if the interest portion(s) of one or more P&I Advances with respect of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, were reduced as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to interest shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such reductions and the portion of such Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal shall be increased by such amount, and if the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal has been applied to pay the principal of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan in full, any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds shall then be applied to pay any remaining accrued and unpaid interest of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan.

(e)          With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee will each be permitted to make its determination that the Master Servicer or the Trustee has made a P&I Advance on such Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4.07(a) independently of any determination made by the Other Servicer (or any master servicer with respect to a commercial mortgage securitization holding another Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any) under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (or any pooling and servicing agreement with respect to a commercial mortgage securitization holding another Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any). If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to any 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 Other Servicer (and any master servicer with respect to a commercial mortgage securitization holding another Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any), the Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee with written notice of such determination, promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days after such determination or such longer time period permitted by the applicable Intercreditor Agreement. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from an Other Servicer (relating to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement that governs the servicing and administration of the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan) that it has determined, with respect to the related Non-Serviced

-346-

Companion Loan, that any proposed advance of principal and/or interest with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan would be, or any outstanding advance of principal and interest is, a nonrecoverable advance of principal and/or interest, such determination shall not be binding on the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Trustee; provided that, with respect to each Non-Serviced Whole Loan, each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such nonrecoverability determination.

If the Master Servicer receives notice from a Rating Agency that it is no longer approved as a master servicer for commercial mortgage securitizations, it shall promptly notify the Trustee, any Other Trustee, any Other Servicer and any other trustee or master servicer with respect to each commercial mortgage securitization that holds a Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any.

(f)           With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan that has a Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee will be permitted to make its determination that the Master Servicer or the Trustee has made a P&I Advance on the related Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4.07(a) independently of any determination made in respect of the related Serviced Companion Loan, by the master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan to the extent that it has received written notice that the Special Servicer has determined that such Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to any such Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance or if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and the Other Trustee under each related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement with written notice of such determination, promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days after such determination or such longer time period permitted by the applicable Intercreditor Agreement. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from any master servicer under any such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement that such master servicer has determined, with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance of principal and/or interest with respect to such Serviced Companion Loan would be, or any outstanding advance of principal and interest is, a nonrecoverable advance of principal and/or interest, such determination shall not be binding on the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Trustee; provided that, with respect to each Non-Serviced Whole Loan, each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such nonrecoverability determination.

(g)          If the Master Servicer receives notice from a Rating Agency that it is no longer approved as a master servicer for commercial mortgage securitizations, it shall promptly notify the Trustee, any Other Trustee, any Other Servicer and any other trustee or master servicer

-347-

with respect to each commercial mortgage securitization that holds a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan related to any Serviced Whole Loan, if any.

(h)          The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of P&I Advances it makes to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such P&I Advances to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such Advances from the related Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan and this Agreement.

Section 4.08   Appraisal Reductions; Collateral Deficiency Amounts. (a) For purposes of (x) determining the Non-Reduced Certificates, 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, the VRR Percentage of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to the Mortgage Loans will be allocated to the VRR Interest to notionally reduce (to not less than zero) the Certificate Balance of the VRR Interest. The Non-VRR Percentage of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to the Mortgage Loans will be allocated to each Class of Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class H Certificates, second, to the Class G Certificates, third, to the Class F Certificates, fourth, to the Class E Certificates, fifth, to the Class D Certificates, sixth, to the Class C Certificates, seventh, to the Class B Certificates, eighth, to the Class A-M Certificates, and ninth, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 Certificates, pro rata, based on their Certificate Balances).

As of the first Determination Date following a Serviced Mortgage Loan becoming an AB Modified Loan, the Master 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 Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information reasonably required by the Master Servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the Master Servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the Master Servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Other 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. The Special Servicer, upon reasonable prior written request, shall provide the Master Servicer with information in its possession (or that is reasonably obtainable at no additional expense) that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount. Upon reasonable prior written

-348-

request, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Master Servicer in obtaining information reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan in the event that the Master Servicer is unsuccessful in obtaining such information from the related Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer or Other Trustee. None of the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

For purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Certificates, the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event is continuing, the VRR Percentage of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to the VRR Interest to notionally reduce (to not less than zero) the Certificate Balance thereof, and the Non-VRR Percentage of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts will be allocated to each class of Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until the related Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero.

For purposes of determining the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event is continuing, Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to an AB Modified Loan will be allocated by applying the Non-VRR Percentage of the Collateral Deficiency Amounts 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 whether a Control Termination Event is continuing, any Class of Control Eligible Certificates shall be allocated the Non-VRR 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 this Section 4.08(a).

With respect to (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Certificates or determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer and (ii) any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or whether a Control Termination Event is continuing, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as is” basis.

The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount (which notification shall be made by delivery of the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.13(a)), any Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Amount allocated to each Mortgage Loan, AB Modified Loan or Serviced Whole Loan if any (which notification shall be satisfied through the delivery of such information included in the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package (or such other form as agreed to by the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer), which shall be delivered simultaneously with the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.13(a)). 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

-349-

information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder (the cost of obtaining such information from the Depository being an expense of the Trust).

(b)          The Holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates whose aggregate Certificate Balance, as notionally reduced by Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated thereto, is less than 25% of the initial Certificate Principal Balance of such Class (such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an allocation 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 a supplemental Appraisal of any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”), and use its reasonable efforts to obtain an Appraisal prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request. Any Appraised-Out Class for which the Requesting Holders are challenging the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount determination shall not exercise any rights of the Controlling Class, until such time, if any, as such Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class and the rights of the Controlling Class will be exercised by the next most senior Control Eligible Certificates, if any, during such period.

In addition, the Requesting Holders 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 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 reasonable efforts to obtain an Appraisal prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request; 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 related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. The right of the holders of an Appraised-Out Class to require the Special Servicer to order an additional appraisal as described in this paragraph shall be limited to no more frequently than once in any 9-month period with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

Upon receipt of any such supplemental Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall send the Appraisal to the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based upon such supplemental Appraisal and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer from the Special Servicer, to the extent such information is in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable at no additional expense by, the Special Servicer, and is reasonably necessary to make such recalculation. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class.

Appraisals that are permitted to be 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.

-350-

(c)          An appraisal for any Mortgage Loan that has not been brought current for at least three consecutive Periodic Payments (or paid in full, liquidated, repurchased or otherwise disposed of) will be updated every 9 months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event or Collateral Deficiency Amount exists.

(d)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 60 days after an Appraisal Reduction Event (i) with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans having a Stated Principal Balance of $2,000,000 or higher, the Special Servicer shall order and use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain an Updated Appraisal or (ii) with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans having a Stated Principal Balance of less than $2,000,000, the Special Servicer, at its option, shall (A) provide a Small Loan Appraisal Estimate within the same time period as an Appraisal would otherwise be required and such Small Loan Appraisal Estimate shall be used in lieu of an Updated Appraisal to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount for such Mortgage Loans or applicable Serviced Whole Loans; or (B) order and use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain an Updated Appraisal.

(e)          The Special Servicer, upon reasonable request, shall deliver to the Master Servicer any information in the Special Servicer’s possession (or that is reasonably obtainable at no additional expense by the Special Servicer) reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount.

On the first Determination Date occurring at least 10 Business Days after the later of (i) date the Master Servicer receives from the Special Servicer the related Updated Appraisal or the Special Servicer’s Small Loan Appraisal Estimate, as applicable, and (ii) the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the Master Servicer shall adjust the Appraisal Reduction Amount to take into account such Updated Appraisal or Small Loan Appraisal Estimate, as applicable and any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer from the Special Servicer, to the extent such information is in the possession of the Special Servicer, necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Each Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be adjusted to take into account any subsequent Small Loan Appraisal Estimate or Updated Appraisal, as applicable, and any letter updates, as of the date of each such subsequent Small Loan Appraisal Estimate, Updated Appraisal or letter update, as applicable, and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer from the Special Servicer, to the extent such information is in the possession of (or reasonably obtainable at no additional expense by) the Special Servicer and is reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Such report shall also be forwarded by the Master Servicer, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the Master Servicer.

Section 4.09   Grantor Trust Reporting. The Certificate Administrator shall maintain adequate books and records to account for the separate entitlements of the Grantor Trust.

(a)          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 Excess Interest

-351-

Certificates, and shall otherwise comply with Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c). Within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall obtain a taxpayer identification number for the Grantor Trust on IRS Form SS-4. The Certificate Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS 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 and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Class S Grantor Trust Assets with the corresponding alphabetic or alphanumeric designation and proceeds thereof, as such amounts are received or accrue, as applicable.

(b)         The Grantor Trust will not be treated as a WHFIT that is a WHMT so long as the Excess Interest Certificates are not treated as held through a “middleman” for federal income tax purposes. If the Grantor Trust is treated as 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. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC, “Embassy & Co.” and “Hare & Co.” are the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the first sentence of this Section 4.09(b), and shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the IRS makes a determination that any such notice is incorrect.

(i)           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.

(ii)          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 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.

(iii)         To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on the Certificate Administrator’s

-352-

Website the CUSIPs for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIPs so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIPs. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIPs have been received. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Certificate Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

Section 4.10   Secure Data Room. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall create the Secure Data Room and the Depositor shall, upon receipt of each Mortgage Loan Seller’s Diligence File Certification, deliver to the Certificate Administrator within 120 days following the Closing Date an electronic copy of the Diligence Files for the Mortgage Loans that have been uploaded by the Mortgage Loan Sellers to the Intralinks Site. 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 (which shall be sent via email to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s website). 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 or information to the Secure Data Room other than the contents of the Diligence Files initially delivered to it by the Depositor.

(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 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. 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 information 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, 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

-353-

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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 pursuant to this Section 4.10, in no event shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to reproduce or retrieve such deleted files.

(1) Or $10,000 in the case of Rule 144A Global Certificates.

Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

The Class S and Class R Certificates will each be issuable in one or more Individual Certificates in minimum denominations of 5% Percentage Interests and integral multiples of a 1% Percentage Interest in excess thereof and together aggregating the entire 100% Percentage Interest in each such Class.

The Global Certificates shall be issued as one or more certificates registered in the name of a nominee designated by the Depository, and Certificate Owners shall hold interests in the Global Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in the minimum Denominations and aggregate Denominations and Classes as set forth above.

The Global Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as Individual Certificates authenticated and delivered hereunder.

The Retained Certificates shall each be issuable in one or more Individual Certificates at all times during the Transfer Restriction Period.

(b)          Except insofar as pertains to any Individual Certificate, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Trustee may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Global Certificates and the giving of notice to Holders thereof) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Global Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder; provided that, for purposes of transmitting communications pursuant to Section 5.05(a) of this Agreement, to the extent that the Depositor has provided the Certificate Administrator with the

-355-

names of Certificate Owners (even if such Certificateholders hold their Certificates through the Depository) the Certificate Administrator shall provide such information to such Certificate Owners directly. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to Global Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificateholders and the Depository and Depository Participants. Except as set forth in Section 5.01(e) below, Certificate Owners of Global Certificates shall not be entitled to physical certificates for the Global Certificates as to which they are the Certificate Owners. Requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Global Certificates shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 5.01 of this Agreement and Applicable Procedures, the holder of a beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate may request that the Certificate Administrator cause the Depository (or any Agent Member) to notify the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Custodian in writing of a request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or Certificates. Upon receipt of such a request and payment by the related Certificate Owner of any attendant expenses, the Certificate Administrator shall cause the issuance and delivery of such Individual Certificates. The Certificate Registrar may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and give notice to the Depository of such record date. Without the written consent of the Certificate Registrar, no Global Certificate may be transferred by the Depository except to a successor Depository that agrees to hold the Global Certificates for the account of the Certificate Owners.

(c)          Any of the Certificates may be issued with appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required to comply with any law or with rules or regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities market in which the Certificates are admitted to trading, or to conform to general usage.

(d)          The Global Certificates (i) shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar to the Depository or, pursuant to the Depository’s instructions on behalf of the Depository to, and deposited with, the Certificate Custodian, and in either case shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and (ii) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

“Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Certificate Registrar for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.”

The Global Certificates may be deposited with such other Depository as the Certificate Registrar may from time to time designate, and shall bear such legend as may be appropriate.

-356-

(e)          If (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able properly to discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the 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, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the affected Certificate Owner or Owners through the Depository of the occurrence of such event and the availability of Individual Certificates to such Certificate Owners requesting them. Upon surrender to the Certificate Administrator of Global Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Certificate Administrator shall issue the Individual Certificates. Neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer nor the Depositor shall be liable for any actions taken by the Depository or its nominee, including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of such instructions. Upon the issuance of Individual Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer shall recognize the Holders of Individual Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

(f)           If the Trustee, its agents, the Certificate Administrator, its agents or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer have instituted or have been directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a court to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders under the Certificates, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer have been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to obtain possession of the Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may in their sole discretion determine that the Certificates represented by the Global Certificates shall no longer be represented by such Global Certificates. In such event, the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent will execute and authenticate and the Certificate Registrar will deliver, in exchange for such Global Certificates, Individual Certificates (and if the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Custodian has in its possession Individual Certificates previously executed, the Authenticating Agent will authenticate and the Certificate Registrar will deliver such Certificates) in a Denomination equal to the aggregate Denomination of such Global Certificates.

(g)          If the Trust Fund ceases to be subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Certificate Administrator shall make available to each Holder and Certificate Owner of a Class of Certificates, upon request of such a Holder, information, to the extent such information is in its possession, substantially equivalent in scope to the information currently filed by the Certificate Administrator with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, plus additional information required to be provided for securities qualifying for resales under Rule 144A under the Act.

For so long as either the Class S or Class R Certificates remain outstanding, none of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall take any action which would cause the Trust Fund to fail to be subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(h)          Each Certificate may be printed or in typewritten or similar form, and each Certificate shall, upon original issue, be executed and authenticated by the Certificate

-357-

Administrator or the Authenticating Agent and delivered to, or at the order of, the Depositor. All Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating Agent by an authorized officer or signatory. Certificates bearing the signature of an individual who was at any time the proper officer or signatory of the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating Agent shall bind the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating Agent, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office or position prior to the delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such office or position at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 through Exhibit A-22 executed by the Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

(i)           If, in connection with any Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall have reported the amount of an anticipated distribution to the Depository based on the expected receipt of any monthly payment based on information set forth in any report of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or any other monthly payment, Balloon Payment or prepayment expected to be or which is paid on the last two Business Days preceding such Distribution Date, and the related Borrower fails to make such payments at such time, the Certificate Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Depository to make the revised distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (in any of its capacities), the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be liable or held responsible for any resulting delay (or claims by the Depository resulting therefrom) in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders. Any out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Certificate Administrator as a consequence of a Borrower failing to make such payments shall be reimbursable to the Certificate Administrator as an expense of the Trust Fund.

(j)           During the Transfer Restriction Period, each Retained Certificate shall only be held as Individual Certificates 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 such Retained Certificates in safekeeping and shall release the same only upon receipt of (i) written instructions from the holder of the Retained Certificates and the Retaining Sponsor, and in accordance with any authentication procedures as may be utilized by the Certificate Administrator and in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) any certifications or other requirements governing transfers of the Retained Certificate required under Section 5.02(m). 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 Retained 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 Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for each Retaining Party. The Retained Certificates to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein. No amounts distributable to the Retained Certificates shall be remitted to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, but shall be remitted directly to each Retaining Party in

-358-

accordance with written instructions provided separately by each Retaining Party to the Certificate Administrator. Under no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping the Retained Certificates shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any person on behalf of the Retaining Parties. During the Transfer Restriction Period and for such longer time as the applicable Retaining Party may request, the Certificate Administrator shall hold the Retained Certificates in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons at the below location, or any other location; provided that the Certificate Administrator has given notice to each of the Retaining Parties of such new location:

Wells Fargo Bank NA

Attn: Security Control and Transfer (SCAT) – MAC N9345-010

425 E. Hennepin Avenue

Minneapolis, MN 55414

The Certificate Administrator shall make available to each VRR Retaining Party its respective account information as mutually agreed upon by the Certificate Administrator and such VRR Retaining Party, and in accordance with the Certificate Administrator’s policies and procedures. Any transfer of a Certificate evidencing the VRR Interest shall be subject to this Article V. During the 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.

Section 5.02   Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept at its offices books (the “Certificate Register”) for the registration, transfer and exchange of Certificates (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being the “Certificate Registrar”). The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate Register. The names and addresses of all Certificateholders and the names and addresses of the transferees of any Certificates shall be registered in the Certificate Register; provided that, in no event shall the Certificate Registrar be required to maintain in the Certificate Register the names of the individual Participants holding beneficial interests in the Trust Fund through the Depository. The Person in whose name any Certificate is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and Holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the Depositor, Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. An Individual Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon the surrender of such Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements of Section 5.01(h) and Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Agreement. Upon request of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar shall provide the Certificate Administrator with the names, addresses and Percentage Interests of the Holders. In its capacity as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for, among other things, holding each Certificate evidencing the VRR Interest as Individual Certificates on behalf of each Holder of such Certificates in accordance with Section 5.01(j).

-359-

(b)          Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Individual Certificate, subject to the requirements of Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination as the Individual Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of this Agreement. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar. Each new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be registered in the name of any Person as the transferring Holder may request, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.01(h) and 5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Agreement.

(c)          In addition to the provisions of Sections 5.01(h) and (j) and 5.02(d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Agreement and the rules of the Depository, the exchange, transfer and registration of transfer of Private Certificates that are Individual Certificates or beneficial interests in the Private Global Certificates shall be subject to the following restrictions:

(i)      Transfers between Holders of Individual Certificates. With respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of an Individual Certificate representing an interest in a Class of Private Certificates to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate (other than transfers of the Class S or Class R Certificates, which may be made only in accordance with Section 5.02(i) of this Agreement, and transfers of any Retained Certificate, which may only be made in accordance with Section 5.02(c)(iv) or Section 5.02(m) of this Agreement and during the Transfer Restriction Period in accordance with Section 5.01(j)):

(A)         Other than the initial transfer from the Initial Purchasers to an initial investor, the Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of such Individual Certificate if the requested transfer is being made by a transferee who has provided the Certificate Registrar with an Investment Representation Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to this Agreement (an “Investment Representation Letter”), to the effect that the transfer is being made to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in accordance with Rule 144A;

(B)        Other than the initial transfer from the Initial Purchasers to an initial investor, the Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of such Individual Certificate pursuant to Regulation S after the expiration of the Restricted Period if (1) the transferor has provided the Certificate Registrar with a Regulation S Transfer Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G to this Agreement (a “Regulation S Transfer Certificate”), and (2) the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Representation Letter; or

(C)         Other than the initial transfer from the Initial Purchasers to an initial investor, the Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of such Individual Certificate if prior to the transfer such transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar (1) an Investment Representation Letter to the effect that the transfer is being made to an Institutional Accredited Investor or to an Affiliated Person in accordance with an applicable exemption under the Act, and (2) in the case of a

-360-

transfer to an Affiliated Person, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such transfer is in compliance with the Act;

and, in each case, the Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of such Individual Certificate only if prior to the transfer the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a written undertaking by the transferor to reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. In addition, the Certificate Registrar may, as a condition of the registration of any such transfer, require the transferor to furnish such other certificates, legal opinions or other information (at the transferor’s expense) as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Act and other applicable laws.

(ii)     Transfers within the Private Global Certificates. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Private Global Certificate remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers within such Global Certificate shall only be made in accordance with this Section 5.02(c)(ii).

(A)         Rule 144A Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate During the Restricted Period. If, during the Restricted Period, a Certificate Owner of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related Regulation S Global Certificate, such Certificate Owner may, in addition to complying with all applicable rules and procedures of the Depository and Clearstream or Euroclear applicable to transfers by their respective participants (the “Applicable Procedures”), transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate only upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.02(c)(ii)(A). Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate in an amount equal to the Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member and the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be, to be credited with, and the account of the Agent Member to be debited for, such beneficial interest, and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit H to this Agreement given by the Certificate Owner of such interest, the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to reduce the Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate by the Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be so transferred and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the Denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate by the Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the

-361-

(B)         Rule 144A Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate After the Restricted Period. If, after the Restricted Period, a Certificate Owner of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related Regulation S Global Certificate, such holder may, in addition to complying with all Applicable Procedures, transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate only upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.02(c)(ii)(B). Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate in an amount equal to the Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member and, in the case of a transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be, to be credited with, and the account of the Agent Member to be debited for, such beneficial interest, and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit I to this Agreement given by the Certificate Owner of such interest, the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to reduce the Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate by the aggregate Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be so transferred and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the Denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate by the aggregate Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be so transferred, and 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 having a Denomination equal to the amount by which the Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate was reduced upon such transfer.

(iii)    Transfers from the Private Global Certificates to Individual Certificates. Any and all transfers from a Private Global Certificate to a transferee wishing to take delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate will require the transferee to take delivery subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Individual Certificate described in a legend set forth on the face of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F to this Agreement (the “Securities Legend”), and such transferee agrees that it will transfer such Individual Certificate only as provided therein and herein. No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer is made in accordance with this Section 5.02(c)(iii).

(A)         Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor will require delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate and the Certificate Registrar shall register such transfer only upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5.02(c)(i)(C) of this Agreement.

(B)         Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate to a Qualified Institutional Buyer or a Regulation S Investor wishing to take delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate will be registered by the Certificate Registrar only upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5.02(c)(i)(A) or (B) of this Agreement, respectively.

-363-

(C)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to an Individual Certificate pursuant to Subparagraph (B) above shall be made prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period.

Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate for an Individual Certificate, as provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Private Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Private 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 Private Global Certificate equal to the Denomination of such Individual Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof. Unless determined otherwise by the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor in accordance with applicable law, an Individual Certificate issued upon transfer of or exchange for a beneficial interest in the Private Global Certificate shall bear the Securities Legend.

(iv)   Transfers of Individual Certificates to the Private Global Certificates. If a Holder of an Individual Certificate wishes at any time to transfer such Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related Regulation S Global Certificate or the related Rule 144A Global Certificate, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and this Section 5.02(c)(iv) (other than with respect to any Retained Certificate during the Transfer Restriction Period, which shall be held as an Individual Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(j)). Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office of (1) the Individual Certificate to be transferred with an assignment and transfer pursuant to Section 5.05(a) of this Agreement, (2) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate or such Rule 144A Global Certificate, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the Denomination of the Individual Certificate to be so transferred, (3) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member and, in the case of any transfer pursuant to Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be, to be credited with such beneficial interest, and (4) (x) an Investment Representation Letter from the transferee and, if delivery is to be taken in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate, a Regulation S Transfer Certificate from the transferor or (y) an Investment Representation Letter from the transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer if delivery is to be taken in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel such Individual Certificate, execute and deliver a new Individual Certificate for the Denomination of the Individual Certificate not so transferred, registered in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s transferee (as instructed by the Holder), and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to increase the Denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate or the Rule 144A Global Certificate, as the case may be, by the Denomination of the Individual Certificate to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions who, in the case of any increase in the Regulation S Global Certificate during the Restricted Period, shall be an

-364-

Agent Member acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be, a corresponding Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate or the Regulation S Global Certificate, as the case may be.

It is the intent of the foregoing that under no circumstances may an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate, other than the initial transfer from the Initial Purchasers to an initial investor.

(v)    All Transfers. An exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for an Individual Certificate or Certificates, an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate and an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates for another Individual Certificate or Certificates (in each case, whether or not such exchange is made in anticipation of subsequent transfer, and, in the case of the Global Certificates, so long as the Global Certificates remain outstanding and are held by or on behalf of the Depository), may be made only in accordance with this Section 5.02 and in accordance with the rules of the Depository and Applicable Procedures (other than with respect to any Retained Certificate during the Transfer Restriction Period, which shall be held as an Individual Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(j)).

(d)          If Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates not bearing the Securities Legend, the Certificates so issued shall not bear the Securities Legend. If Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing the Securities Legend, or if a request is made to remove the Securities Legend on a Certificate, the Certificates so issued shall bear the Securities Legend, or the Securities 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 (at the expense of the party requesting the removal of such legend) familiar with United States securities laws, as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar, that neither the Securities Legend nor the restrictions on transfers set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers of any Certificate comply with the provisions of Rule 144A, Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Act, the Risk Retention Rule or that such Certificate is not a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and deliver a Certificate that does not bear the Securities Legend.

(e)          Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in Section 5.01(i) and in this Section 5.02, the Holder of any Individual Certificate may transfer or exchange the same in whole or in part (with a denomination equal to any authorized denomination) by surrendering such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or at the office of any transfer agent appointed as provided under this Agreement, together with an instrument of assignment or transfer (executed by the Holder or its duly authorized attorney), in the case of transfer, and a written request for exchange, in the case of exchange. Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days of such request if made at such office of the Certificate Administrator or within ten Business Days if made at the office of a transfer agent (other than the Certificate Registrar), execute and deliver at the office of the Certificate Administrator or at the office of such transfer agent, as the case may be, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first-class mail (at the risk of the transferee in the case of transfer or Holder in the case of exchange) to such

-365-

address as the transferee or Holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual Certificate or Certificates, as the case may require, for a like aggregate Denomination and in such Denomination or Denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the office of the Certificate Administrator or at the office of a transfer agent by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact. The Certificate Registrar may decline to accept any request for an exchange or registration of transfer of any Certificate during the period of 15 days preceding any Distribution Date.

(f)           An Individual Certificate (other than an Individual Certificate issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Agreement) or a beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate may only be transferred to Eligible Investors, as described herein. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that such an Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate is being held by or for the benefit of a Person who is not an Eligible Investor, or that such holding is unlawful under the laws of a relevant jurisdiction, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right to void such transfer, if permitted under applicable law, or to require the investor to sell such Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate to an Eligible Investor within fourteen days after notice of such determination and each Certificateholder by its acceptance of a Certificate authorizes the Certificate Registrar to take such action.

(g)          Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.02 regarding transfer and exchange, transfers of the Global Certificates shall be limited to transfers of such Global Certificates in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depository or to a successor of the Depository or such successor’s nominee.

(h)          No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in this Section 5.02 other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors, as provided herein. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund 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 herein) 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.

(i)           Subject to Section 5.02(e) of this Agreement, transfers of the Class S or Class R Certificates may be made only in accordance with this Section 5.02(i). The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Class R Certificate only if (x) the transferor has advised the Certificate Registrar in writing that such Certificate is being transferred to a Qualified Institutional Buyer and (y) prior to such transfer the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Representation Letter. The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Class S Certificate only if (x) the transferor has advised the Certificate Registrar in writing that such Certificate is being transferred to a Qualified Institutional Buyer or an Affiliated Person or an Institutional Accredited Investor and (y) prior to such transfer, the transferee has furnished to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Representation Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1. In addition, the Certificate Registrar may as a condition of the registration of any such transfer require the transferor to furnish such other certifications, legal opinions or other information (at

-366-

the transferor’s expense) as it may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Act and other applicable laws.

(j)           No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class of Private Certificates or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Act and such state securities laws. Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar are obligated to register or qualify the Private Certificates under the Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Private Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, against any loss, liability or expense that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

(k)          No transfer of any Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S or Class R Certificate or the VRR Interest (each, a “Restricted Certificate”) shall be made to (i) an employee benefit plan or other plan or retirement arrangement, including an individual retirement account or Keogh plan, which is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan, as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA, or 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 (ii) any person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan (including any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a Plan’s investment in the entity (within the meaning of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA), other than (except with respect to the VRR Interest, the Class S Certificates or the Class R Certificates), an insurance company using the assets of its general account under circumstances whereby such purchase and the subsequent holding of such Certificate by such insurance company will be exempt from the “prohibited transaction” provisions of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA and Code Section 4975 under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or, in the case of a plan subject to Similar Law, where the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Restricted Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation under Similar Law. Except in connection with the transfer thereof by the Depositor or a Retaining Party (provided that, in the case of a Retaining Party, such exception shall apply only with respect to the transfer thereof on the Closing Date), each prospective transferee of a Restricted Certificate shall either (A) deliver to the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator, a transfer or representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 to this Agreement, stating that the prospective transferee is not and will not become a Person referred to in (i) or (ii) above or (B) if the transferee is such an entity specified in (i) or (ii) above (except in the case of a the VRR Interest, a Class S Certificate or a Class R Certificate, which may not be transferred unless the transferee represents it is not such an entity), such entity, at its own expense, shall provide any opinion of counsel, officers’ certificates or agreements as may be required by, and in form and substance satisfactory to, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar, to the effect that the purchase and holding of the Certificates by or on behalf of a Plan will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of Sections 406 and 407 of

-367-

ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation of any Similar Law, and will not subject the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation or liability. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall register a Class S or Class R Certificate in any Person’s name unless such Person has provided the letter referred to in clause (A) of the preceding sentence. The transferee of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate that is a Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not and will not become a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of any Plan or using the assets of any Plan to acquire such interest other than (with respect to transfers of beneficial interests in Global Certificates which are Restricted Certificates other than the VRR Interest, Class S Certificates or the Class R Certificates) an insurance company using the assets of its general account under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding by such insurance company would be exempt from the “prohibited transaction” provisions of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or, in the case of a plan subject to Similar Law, where the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Restricted Certificate will not constitute a non-exempt violation under Similar Law. Any transfer of a Restricted Certificate that would violate or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio.

Each purchaser of Certificates that is a Plan subject to ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) or is acting on behalf of or using the assets of an ERISA Plan will be deemed to have represented and warranted that (i) none of the Depositor, the Trust, the Trustee, any Initial Purchaser, any Underwriter, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any of their respective affiliated entities, has provided any investment advice within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (and regulations thereunder) to the ERISA Plan, or to any fiduciary or other person making the decision to invest the assets of the ERISA Plan (“Fiduciary”), in connection with its acquisition of Certificates, and (ii) the Fiduciary is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the transaction.

(l)           Each Person who has or acquires any Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i)          Each Person acquiring or holding any Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such 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 Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.02(l) 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 and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Ownership Interest as fully as possible.

-368-

(ii)          No 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 Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require delivery to it in form and substance satisfactory to it, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (i) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (ii) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of an Ownership Interest, it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (iii) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Ownership Interest as they become due, (iv) the proposed transferee will not transfer the 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, (v) the proposed transferee 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 proposed transferee or any other U.S. Person and (vi) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.02(l) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Class R Certificates, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-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 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 that the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee.

Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restriction or transfer imposed under Article V of this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any Certificate (including, without limitation, the Securities Legend), or any interest therein, other than to require delivery of the certification(s) and/or opinions of counsel described in Article V applicable with respect to changes in registration of record ownership of Certificates in the Certificate Register. The Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall have no liability for transfers, including transfers made through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or between or among Depository Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of applicable restrictions.

-369-

Upon written notice to the Certificate Registrar, or upon the Certificate Registrar having actual knowledge, 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 60 days after a request for information from the transferor of such Ownership Interest, or such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator agree to furnish to the IRS and the transferor of such 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 and the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator 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.

(m)         At all times during the Transfer Restriction Period, if a Transfer of any Retained Certificate after the Closing Date is to be made, then, upon receipt of: (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-5, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (ii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-4 or Exhibit C-6, as applicable, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (iii) a W-9 completed by the Transferee and (iv) wire instructions and contact information of the Transferee, the Certificate Administrator (which may conclusively rely upon such certifications) shall instruct the Certificate Registrar to register such Transfer. Upon receipt of the Certificate Administrator’s instruction, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.02(e), register the Transfer of the Retained Certificate and reflect such Retained Certificate in the name of the prospective Transferee and shall deliver written confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit MM to this Agreement. The Certificate Registrar shall not register a Transfer of any Retained Certificate after the Closing Date during the Transfer Restriction Period unless it is so instructed by the Certificate Administrator. After the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of a Retained Certificate is to be made and such Retained Certificate is in Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, then upon receipt of: (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-5, 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 C-6, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, the Certificate Administrator (which may conclusively rely upon such certifications) shall instruct the Certificate Registrar to register such Transfer, and upon receipt of the Certificate Administrator’s instruction, the Certificate Registrar shall register the Transfer of the Retained Certificate and reflect such Retained Certificate in the name of the prospective Transferee.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Retained Certificate be held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the Transfer Restriction Period. After the Transfer Restriction Period, a Retained Certificate may be

-370-

transferred subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Article V. Any transfer of an interest in a Retained Certificate that is not in compliance with this Section 5.02 shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law.

Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of the corresponding interest in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.04     Appointment of Paying Agent. The Certificate Administrator may appoint a paying agent (a “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of making distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement.

The initial Paying Agent shall be the Certificate Administrator. Except for the Certificate Administrator, as the initial Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall at all times be an entity having a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “BBB+” from S&P, “A” from Fitch and an equivalent rating from KBRA (if rated by KBRA), or shall be otherwise acceptable to each Rating Agency, as confirmed by a receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(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 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 Individual 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.

-373-

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.

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 5.08(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, retabulate the votes or conduct a new vote for the same proposition.

(d)          Unless otherwise paid for by any Holder pursuant to Section 8.01 or Section 8.02, or clause (e) below, 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.

Upon written request, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall furnish to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee its most recent publicly available financial statements (or, with respect to the Master Servicer, those of its ultimate parent) and such other non-proprietary information as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion as it possesses, which is relevant to the performance of its duties hereunder and which it is not prohibited by applicable law or contract from disclosing. 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 any rights of such Person 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.

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     The Master Servicer or Special Servicer as Owners 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. 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, but will not be required to, seek the approval of the Certificateholders to such action (or inaction) by delivering to 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

-381-

Servicer and (iii) describes in reasonable detail the action (or inaction) that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take (or refrain from taking). 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 a majority of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders and, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates, as applicable) shall have consented in writing to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, except in the case of unusual circumstances.

Section 6.07     The Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties. (a) For so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans (other than any applicable Excluded Loan), (2) the Special Servicer with respect to Performing Loans (other than any applicable Excluded Loan or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with respect to Special Servicer Major Decisions, and (3) the Master Servicer with respect to Performing Loans (other than any Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with respect to Master Servicer Major Decisions.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to, this Section 6.07, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any applicable Excluded Loan) or any Serviced Whole Loan, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be permitted to take any action that constitutes a Major Decision, and the Special Servicer shall not consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any of the following actions that are Special Servicer Major Decisions, as to which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or, in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, 30 days) after receipt of a written report by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, describing in reasonable detail (i) the background and circumstances requiring action of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (ii) the proposed course of action recommended, and (iii) all information reasonably requested by the Directing Holder, and reasonably available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in order to grant or withhold such consent, which report may, if prepared by the Special Servicer, in its sole discretion, 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, within such 10-Business Day (or 30-day) period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have approved such action). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the matters described in Section 6.07(a) (b) or (c) that requires the consent or consultation of the Directing Holder, the

-382-

Operating Advisor or a Risk Retention Consultation Party, or any other matter requiring consent or consultation of the Directing Holder in this Agreement, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan) and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor or such Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response.

If a Control Termination Event is continuing, but for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be required to obtain the consent of the Directing Holder with respect to any of the Major Decisions or Asset Status Reports, but shall 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 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from the Directing Holder within 10 Business Days following the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s written request for input (which request shall include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required consultation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Holder on the specific matter.

(b)          In addition, (i) for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan (other than any applicable Excluded Loan with respect to the applicable Risk Retention Consultation Party), and (ii) during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than any applicable Excluded Loan with respect to the applicable Risk Retention Consultation Party), upon request of a Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consult with such 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 such Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to this Agreement) and to consider alternative actions recommended by such Risk Retention Consultation Party in respect of such Major Decision (or any other matter requiring consultation with such Risk Retention Consultation Party); provided that in the event the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from a Risk Retention Consultation Party within 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 in the possession of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, reasonably requested by such Risk Retention Consultation Party related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be obligated to

-383-

consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party on the specific matter; provided, however, 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 or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) no Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have any consultation rights with respect to any related Excluded Loan and (y) any consultation with either Risk Retention Consultation Party under this Agreement shall occur only upon request of such 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 6.07.

The Risk Retention Consultation Party acting in its capacity as Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not have liability to the Trust Fund, any party to this Agreement, any Certificateholders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment.

(c)          During the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall 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 (which written request and Major Decision Reporting Package may be delivered in one notice), as set forth below. During the continuance of a Control Termination 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 the 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.

If a Control Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision that it is processing as to which it has delivered to the Operating Advisor a Major Decision Reporting Package (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 on any required consultation (which request is required to include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Special Servicer 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 use reasonable efforts 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 Directing Holder, the Special Servicer or the related Excluded 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 that it is processing or for which it

-384-

must give its consent or for which it must give its consent 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.

(d)          The failure of any of the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor or any Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond to any request for consent or consultation shall not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer from using reasonable efforts to seek the consent of or consult with, as applicable, the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor or the Risk Retention Consultation Parties on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan.

In addition, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder 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 from the Directing Holder and no advice from any Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor, and no objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law, this Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder.

If 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 Risk Retention Consultation Parties or the Operating Advisor, would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, any Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law, the REMIC Provisions or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advice and notify the Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Parties or the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) 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 Holder, any Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor that does not violate any law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreements will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, (i) at all times when no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to the rights of the “Non-Directing Holder” (or similar term) under the related Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) at no time shall the Operating Advisor be entitled to the rights of the “Non-Directing Holder” (or similar term) under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

-385-

The Directing Holder shall have no liability to the Trust Fund, any party to this Agreement, any Certificateholders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided 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 negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties.

(e)          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.07, (a) the Special Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, (b) the Special Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision with respect to any Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer have mutually agreed to have the Master Servicer process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent, (c) the Master Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Master Servicer Major Decision with respect to any Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), (d) the Master Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision with respect to any Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) if the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer have mutually agreed to have the Master Servicer process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent and (e) the Master Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that is not a Major Decision (other than any Special Servicer Non-Major Decision) without any obligation to obtain the consent of or consult with any other person. Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and 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 Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, as applicable.

With respect to any Borrower request or other action on Performing Loans that is not a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain the consent of or consult with the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder or the Operating Advisor or the Risk Retention Consultation Parties.

(f)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) if a Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) if a Control Termination Event is continuing but no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder 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 Holder in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) if a Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall have no consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports

-386-

or information (other than notices, Voting Rights given to all Certificateholders and rights to receive reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Holder.

(g)          The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor, may from time to time request that the Certificate Administrator provide the name of the then-current Trust Directing Holder for any applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. Upon such request, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following such request) provide the name of the then-current Trust Directing Holder to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor, but only to the extent the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge of the identity of the then-current Trust Directing Holder; provided that if the Certificate Administrator does not have actual knowledge of the identity of the then-current Trust Directing Holder then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following such request) (i) determine which Class is the Controlling Class and (ii) request from the Controlling Class Certificateholders the identity of the Trust Directing Holder. Any expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such information shall be at the expense of the requesting party, except that if (i) such expenses arise in connection with an event as to which the Trust Directing Holder, has review, consent or consultation rights with respect to an action taken by, or report prepared by, the requesting party pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with a request made by the Operating Advisor in connection with its obligation under this Agreement to deliver a copy of the Operating Advisor Annual Report to the Trust Directing Holder and (ii) the requesting party has not been notified of the identity of the Trust Directing Holder or reasonably believes that the identity of the Trust Directing Holder has changed, then such expenses shall be at the expense of the Trust. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such information so provided.

To the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has written notice of any change in the identity of a Trust Directing Holder or the list of Holders (or Certificate Owners, if applicable) of the Controlling Class, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer thereof, who may rely conclusively on such notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

(h)          DBNY and CREFI shall be the initial Risk Retention Consultation Parties and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of any of the existing Risk Retention Consultation Parties, any successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1H 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.

(i)          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 DBNY (in the case of the VRR1 Risk Retention Consultation Party) or CREFI (in the case of the VRR2 Risk Retention Consultation Party) shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,

-387-

the Operating Advisor and each other Holder of the VRR Interest, in writing, of the selection of such new Risk Retention Consultation Party (including the new contact information).

(j)           Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that the Risk Retention Consultation Parties: (i) may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates other than the Holder of the VRR Interest related to the Risk Retention Consultation Party; (ii) may act solely in the interests of the applicable Holder of the VRR Interest; (iii) does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Classes of Certificates other than the Holder of the VRR Interest related to the Risk Retention Consultation Party; (iv) may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates (including the VRR Interest) over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) 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 any Risk Retention Consultation Party or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of such Risk Retention Consultation Party for having so acted.

Section 6.08     Rights of Non-Directing Holders. With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall:

(a)          consult with the related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent that such Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) requests consultation with respect to any “major decision” or “major action” set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Serviced Whole Loan, and to consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to the related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the related notice, information or report, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall no longer be obligated to consult with the applicable Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) (unless the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing non-binding consultation rights of the Non-Directing Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take any “major decision” or “major action” set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholder and the related Companion Loan Noteholder. Unless specified otherwise in the related Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the Non-Directing Holder; and

(b)          in addition to the foregoing non-binding consultation rights, if provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Non-Directing Holder shall have the right to annual conference calls with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably

-388-

acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Whole Loan are discussed.

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Master Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of (x) the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates or (y) the Depositor with respect to clause (ii) above (to the extent such Master Servicer Termination Event relates to the obligations regarding Exchange Act reporting contemplated by Article X) or clause (x) above upon five (5) Business Days’ notice, shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer (other than as set forth in Section 7.01(d)). In the case of clause (vii), (viii) or (ix), the Certificate Administrator shall be required to notify Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of such Master Servicer Termination Event and request whether such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders favor such termination.

If the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer is terminated as provided in this Section 7.01(a), then the Master Servicer shall also be terminated as Special Servicer.

If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under this Section 7.01(a) solely due to a Master Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(vii), (viii) or (ix) and if the Master Servicer 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 serve as Master Servicer hereunder until a successor Master Servicer is selected in accordance with this Section 7.01(a). Upon receipt of the “request for proposal” materials, the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the Master Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to service the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.02 and 7.02 of this Agreement (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, at the Trustee’s request, 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 and Serviced Companion 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

-391-

Servicer, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within 45 days after the notice of termination of the Master Servicer. The materials provided to the Trustee shall provide for soliciting bids: (i) on the basis of such successor Master Servicer retaining all Sub-Servicers to continue the primary servicing of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans pursuant to the terms of the respective Sub-Servicing Agreements and entering into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer to service each of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans for which it was the Master Servicer and not subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a cashiering Sub-Servicer at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to, for each Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan serviced, the Primary Servicing Fee Rate (each, a “Servicing Retained Bid”); and (ii) on the basis of terminating each Sub-Servicing Agreement and Sub-Servicer that it is permitted to terminate in accordance with Section 3.01(c) of this Agreement (each, a “Servicing Released Bid”). The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing Released Bid from any Person qualified to act as a Master Servicer) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder; provided that if the Trustee does not receive a Rating Agency Confirmation in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.30 of this Agreement with respect to 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 Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained. The Trustee shall direct 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; provided that the initial Master Servicer may request and obtain, with the prior written consent of the Directing Holder, an additional 20 days for such sale and assumption to be completed so long as the initial Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the sale and assumption of the right to service the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans cannot be completed in the initial 45-day period and specifying the reasons therefor.

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 (i) if the successful bid was a Servicing Retained Bid, to the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(a), 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) and (ii) if the successful bid was a Servicing Released Bid, to the Master Servicer and each terminated Sub-Servicer its respective Bid Allocation.

The Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(a) 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 Serviced Companion Loans, 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(a) of this Agreement shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out of pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under this Section 7.01(a). The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02 of this Agreement.

-395-

and that rating action is not withdrawn within 60 days, then the Trustee, at the direction of the Companion Loan Noteholder, shall terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan only, but no other Mortgage Loan.

(e)          If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Trustee (the “Terminating Party”) 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 the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Terminated Party has to Excess Servicing Fees, any rights it has 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 Reimbursement 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 of this Agreement notwithstanding any such termination), and with respect to the Special Servicer, the right to receive any Workout Fee subsequent to its termination as Special Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement. No successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to such Workout Fee received by the terminated Special Servicer. 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 if and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder), the Mortgage Loans, the Serviced Companion Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Terminating Party pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Terminating Party 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 related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agree 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 Terminating Party with all documents and records requested by the Terminating Party to enable the Terminating Party to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Terminating Party and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer or the Terminating Party, 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, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, any REO Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, Lock-Box Account or Cash Collateral Account or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and shall promptly provide the Terminating Party or such successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer (which may include the Trustee) all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Terminating Party or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall reasonably request (including electronic form), to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s function hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses of the Terminating Party (including the cost of obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation and any applicable indemnity) or the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage Files to the successor Master

-396-

Servicer or Special Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect 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 Terminating Party 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. If and to the extent that the Terminated Party has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the Terminating Party shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust Fund.

In no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have knowledge of, or be aware of, any Master Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.

No removal or replacement of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as contemplated by this Agreement shall become effective until (i) the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall have assumed the resigning or terminated Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 10.09, (iii) any other information required under Section 10.03 or Section 10.09 has been delivered to any applicable Other Depositor with respect to any related Companion Loan, and (iv) as to any resignation, removal, succession, merger or consolidation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that would constitute a Reportable Event, upon at least 4 Business Days prior notice of the anticipated effective date of such event, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other Person pursuing such resignation, removal, succession, merger or consolidation, as applicable, in connection with the Depositor’s or the Certificate Administrator’s obligation to file any related required Form 8-K relating to this Trust on the anticipated effective date of such event.

Section 7.02     Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor Upon the receipt of a notice of termination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement, the Terminating Party (subject to Section 7.01(a) and Section 7.01(c)) shall be its successor, until a successor is appointed by the Directing Holder as provided in this Section 7.02 or Section 3.22(b), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as the Master Servicer or the 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 that (i) the Terminating Party 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 monies shall not be considered a termination event for such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,

-397-

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 the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. The Terminating Party shall not be liable for any of the representations and 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 hereunder nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan or any Serviced Companion Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Terminating Party as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Compensation or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans that accrue after the date of the Terminating Party’s succession to which such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled if such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, had continued to act hereunder. If any Advances made by the Master Servicer or 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, 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 (i) in the case of the Master Servicer, at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights (or, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder), or (ii) in the case of the Special Servicer, at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights (or, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder), so request in writing to the Trustee, or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, if an affected Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder so requests in writing to the Trustee, or if the Trustee is not an “approved” servicer by any of the Rating Agencies for mortgage pools similar to the Trust Fund, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution that, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, has been approved by the Directing Holder (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld in the case of the appointment of a successor Master Servicer) to act as the successor to the Master Servicer or 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 Trustee shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the Certificates and any Serviced Companion Loan Securities. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder, which appointment has been approved, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, by the Directing Holder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. 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 hereinabove provided. Pending the appointment of a successor to the Special Servicer, the Trustee 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, Serviced Companion Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Terminated Party hereunder, unless no successor to the Terminated Party can be

-398-

obtained to perform the obligations of such Terminated Party hereunder, in which case 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. Any successor Special Servicer shall be subject to the rights of the Directing Holder under Section 3.22(b) of this Agreement. 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 resigning or terminated Master Servicer, it may reduce the Master Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that it’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02, it may reduce the Master Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.02.

Section 7.03    Notification to Certificateholders and Other Persons. (a) Upon its receipt of written notice of 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, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and to each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder at its address appearing in the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder Register.

(b)          Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event (or any analogous servicer termination event under any Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan), Operating Advisor Termination Event or Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (who shall then notify all Holders of Certificates), the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder, notice of such Servicer Termination Event, Operating Advisor Termination Event or Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, unless such Servicer Termination Event, Operating Advisor Termination Event or Asset Representations Reviewer 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 the Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01 of this Agreement, 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, in the case of any Serviced Companion Loan, of the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (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 Trust Fund (and,

-399-

in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such amounts shall be allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the related Intercreditor Agreement). 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.

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 may, together with each affected Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (to the extent they are adversely affected by such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event, as applicable), on behalf of all Holders of Certificates waive any termination event with respect to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a termination event with respect to making any required deposits (including, with respect to the Master Servicer, P&I Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account or the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past termination event, such termination event 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 termination event or impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Master Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(ii) (to the extent such Master Servicer Termination Event relates to the obligations regarding Exchange Act reporting contemplated by Article X) or Section 7.01(a)(x) or a Special Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(b)(ii) (to the extent such Special Servicer Termination Event relates to the obligations regarding Exchange Act reporting contemplated by Article X) or Section 7.01(b)(x) of this Agreement may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor and each affected Other Depositor.

Section 7.06    Trustee as Maker of Advances. If 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 Business Days of the Master Servicer Termination Event resulting from such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Servicing Advances to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Servicing Advances and (y) by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I Advances pursuant to the Trustee’s receipt of notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.07(a) of this Agreement unless the Trustee has received notice that such failure has been cured by 11:00 a.m. on such Distribution Date. 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 Advance (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to perform 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

-400-

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 or any determination of nonrecoverability in connection therewith by the Master Servicer hereunder.

Section 7.07     Termination of the Operating Advisor. (a) An “Operating Advisor Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether any such event 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:

(ii)     any failure by the Operating Advisor to perform in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given in writing to the Operating Advisor by any party to 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 after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given in writing to the Operating Advisor by any party to 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 Operating Advisor, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

-416-

If the Certificate Administrator is terminated or removed pursuant to this Section 8.07, (i) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination or removal (including the right to receive all fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination or removal) and (ii) such resignation, termination, or removal shall be effective with respect to each of its other capacities hereunder except its capacity as Custodian (but including, without limitation, its capacities as Certificate Registrar, 17g-5 Information Provider, Paying Agent and Authenticating Agent).

Upon the resignation, assignment, or transfer of the Trustee or its business to a successor, or upon the termination of the Trustee, (a) the outgoing Trustee, at its own expense without right to reimbursement therefor, shall (A) endorse the original executed Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan (to the extent that the original executed Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan was endorsed to the outgoing Trustee), without recourse, representation or warranty, express or implied, to the order of the successor, as trustee for the registered Holders of Benchmark 2021-B30 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B30 or in blank, and (B) in the case of the other assignable Loan Documents (to the extent such other Loan Documents were assigned to the outgoing Trustee), assign and record such Loan Documents to such successor, and such successor shall review the documents delivered to it or to the Custodian with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and certify in writing that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement, such endorsement and assignment has been made; (b) if any original executed Mortgage Note for a Mortgage Loan was not endorsed to the outgoing Trustee, the Custodian shall deliver such Mortgage Note to the successor trustee and the Custodian shall cooperate with any successor trustee to ensure that such Mortgage Note is endorsed (without recourse, representation or warranty, express or implied) to the order of the successor trustee, as trustee for the registered Holders of Benchmark 2021-B30 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B30 or in blank. If any assignable Loan Document (other than the Mortgage Note) was not assigned to the outgoing Trustee or if the Trustee is removed pursuant to Section 8.07 without cause, with respect to the Loan Documents identified in clause (B) of the preceding sentence, the Custodian shall deliver such Loan Document to the successor trustee and, if appropriate, such Loan Documents shall be recorded at the expense of the Trust (i) other than during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Holder, (ii) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but other than during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, after consultation with the Directing Holder and the Operating Advisor and (iii) during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, after consultation with the Operating Advisor and the reasonable cooperation (as determined by the Depositor) of the Depositor.

Section 8.08         Successor Trustee and Certificate Administrator. (a) Any successor trustee or certificate administrator shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (or in the case of a successor certificate administrator, to the predecessor Certificate Administrator) and the Trustee, as the case may be, instruments accepting their appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall become effective and such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations

-417-

of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, herein; provided that such successor shall satisfy the requirements contained in Section 8.06 of this Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 10.09. The predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall deliver to its successor all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder, and the Depositor 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 all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. No successor trustee or certificate administrator, as the case may be, shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 of this Agreement.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be so mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

(b)          Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Agreement shall satisfy the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.06 hereof.

(c)          Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates may be appointed as successor trustee or certificate administrator.

Section 8.09         Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Certificate Administrator. Any Person into which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, hereunder; provided that such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 of this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall notify the other parties hereto of any such event, and the Certificate Administrator shall post notice of such merger or consolidation to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement and provide notice of such event to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement).

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 or property securing the same may at the time be located, or for enforcement actions, or where a conflict of interest exists, the Depositor 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 (at the expense of the Trust) 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,

-418-

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 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 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.

No Trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement. 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 by 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.

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,

-419-

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)          The Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall be terminated and the assets of the Trust Fund shall be sold or otherwise disposed of in connection therewith, only pursuant to a “plan of complete liquidation” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(4)(A) of the Code providing for the actions contemplated by the provisions hereof and pursuant to which the applicable Notice of Termination is given, and requiring that the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall terminate on a Distribution Date occurring not more than 90 days following the date of adoption of the plan of complete liquidation.

If the Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interests in the Controlling Class, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases all of the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with this Section 9.01(c), the Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interests in the Controlling Class, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, as applicable, not later than the Master Servicer Remittance Date relating to the Anticipated Termination 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) of this Agreement, which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account). In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, as applicable, all amounts required to be transferred thereto on the Master Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account, together with any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution.

it has transferred all such amounts to the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interests in the Controlling Class, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by such purchasing party as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund shall be liquidated in accordance with this Article IX.

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 Fund and terminating the Trust.

As a condition to the purchase of the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01(c), the purchaser shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, which shall be at the expense of such purchaser, stating that such termination will be a “qualified liquidation” under Section 860F(a)(4)(A) of the Code. 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 Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to this subsection (c).

(d)          If the Trust Fund has not been previously terminated pursuant to subsection (c) 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 to the Holders of outstanding Certificates and the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interests, notwithstanding that such distribution may be insufficient to distribute in full the Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates, together with amounts required to be distributed on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement; provided that, if no such Classes of Certificates are then outstanding, the final distribution shall be made (i) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LTR Interest) of any amount remaining in the Collection Accounts, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, and (ii) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class UTR Interest) of any amount remaining in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account.

(e)          Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be mailed by the Certificate Administrator to Certificateholders (with a copy to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement)), at their addresses shown in the Certificate Registrar not more than 30 days, and not less than ten days, prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. The notice mailed by the Certificate Administrator to 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;

-422-

(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 Certificateholder.

(f)           Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the 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 as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01. Any amounts remaining in the Excess Interest Distribution Account representing Excess Interest shall be distributed to the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates.

(g)          Following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount and the Class X-D Notional Amount, and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange; provided that such Sole Certificateholder pays to the Certificate Administrator as additional compensation an amount equal to one day of interest calculated at the Prime Rate on the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates as of the first day of the current calendar month and such Sole Certificateholder pays to the Master Servicer as additional compensation an amount equal to (i) the product of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then outstanding Certificates (other than any Class of Class X Certificates, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (c) three, divided by (ii) 360, for the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund and such payments shall be treated as made by the Sole

-423-

Certificateholder directly to the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer and not through or by either of the Trust REMICs. If the Sole Certificateholder elects to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder, not later than the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust Fund that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, or an escrow account acceptable to the respective parties hereto, pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Accounts pursuant to Section 3.06(g) of this Agreement, but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on such Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement. Upon confirmation from the Certificate Administrator that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) on the final Distribution Date to the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian shall upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release to the Sole Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and the Trustee 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 Fund shall be liquidated in accordance with this Article IX. The remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties are deemed distributed to the Sole Certificateholder in liquidation of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Article IX. 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 its Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates), plus accrued, unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributable in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and such Certificates.

(h)          [Reserved.]

(i)           The duties of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement will terminate, without cost or expense to the Operating Advisor, upon termination of the Trust Fund.

Upon receipt of such comments, such Affected Reporting Party shall be responsible for timely preparing a written response to the Commission for inclusion in the Depositor’s or such Other Depositor’s, as applicable, response to the Commission, unless such Affected Reporting Party elects, with the consent of the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably denied, withheld or delayed), to directly communicate with the Commission and negotiate a response and/or resolution with the Commission; provided, however, if an Affected Reporting Party is a Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall receive copies of all material communications pursuant to this Section 10.14. If such election is made, the applicable Affected Reporting Party shall be responsible for directly negotiating such

-447-

All respective reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel to the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable), in connection with the foregoing (other than those costs and expenses required to be at the Depositor’s or such Other Depositor’s expense, as applicable and as set forth above) and any amendments to any reports filed with the Commission related thereto shall be promptly paid by the applicable Affected Reporting Party upon receipt of an itemized invoice from the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable.

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

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Certification Party, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, each Additional Servicer or other Servicing Function Participant (the “Performing Party”) shall, and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship (other than a party to this Agreement) with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans to contribute to the amount paid or payable to the Certification Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Certification Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Certification Party on the one hand and the Performing Party on the other in connection with

-448-

a breach of the Performing Party’s obligations pursuant to this Article X. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans to agree to the foregoing indemnification and contribution obligations. 

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

Article XI

THE ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER

Section 11.01      Asset Review.

(a)        On or prior to each Distribution Date, based either on the CREFC^® Delinquent Loan Status Report or the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File, 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 the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Directing Holder, all Certificateholders and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Article XI shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, by mailing such notice to their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register in the case of Individual 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 date a 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 after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator, based on information provided to it by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, 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) 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) or (3), deliver such information in a written notice (which may be via email) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit LL within 2 Business Days to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trust Directing Holder.

If Certificateholders evidencing not less than 5% of the Voting Rights deliver to the Certificate Administrator, within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence an Asset Review (such written direction, the “Asset Review Vote Election”), then upon receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders and to conduct a solicitation of votes of the Certificateholders to authorize an Asset Review. Upon the 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 to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, each Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Trust Directing Holder and the Certificateholders. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) an additional Asset Review Trigger has

-452-

occurred as a result or otherwise is 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 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 such notice of an Affirmative Asset Review Vote (the “Asset Review Notice”), the Custodian (with respect to clauses (1) – (5) for all Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to clauses (6) and (7) for Performing Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to clauses (6) and (7) for Specially Serviced Loans), in each case to the extent in such party’s possession, will be required to promptly, but in no event later than 10 Business Days (except with respect to clause (7)) after receipt of such notice from the Certificate Administrator, provide the following materials 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 (or the related Other Trustee, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), 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 (or the related Other Trustee, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), 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 (or the related Other Trustee, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) of any financing statement executed and filed in the relevant jurisdiction related to each Delinquent 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 Loan; and

-453-

(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 frames and as otherwise described below.

(ii)     If, as part of an Asset Review of any Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that it is missing any documents that are required to be a 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, in each case that are necessary to review and assess one or more documents comprising the Diligence File in connection with its completion of any Test, then the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly, but in no event later than 10 Business Days after receipt of the Review Materials identified in clauses (1) through (6) above, notify (in writing) that the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing documents, and provide a written request (in accordance with this Agreement) that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, promptly, but in no event later than 10 Business Days after receipt of such notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer, to 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 identify the documents being requested and sent to the notice address for the related party set forth in Section 12.05 of this Agreement. In the event any such missing documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, within such 10 Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller. The Mortgage Loan Seller will 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; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver 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 related 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 each case in accordance with its good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review conducted pursuant to this Section 11.01 hereof (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 in accordance with the Asset Review Standard and the procedures set forth on Exhibit JJ hereto (such review, the “Asset Review”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect

-454-

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 JJ (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 JJ, 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)    The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be permitted to review any information other than (x) the Review Materials, and (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)   If 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 applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) within 10 days of the written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer, then 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. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide such preliminary report to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and to the related 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. 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 90 days (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. Any documents provided or explanations given to support a conclusion 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 related Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will 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 Delinquent Loan.

-455-

(viii)     The Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within the later of (x) 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 or (y) 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 and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller for each Delinquent Loan and the Trust Directing Holder 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 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 Breach or 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 Enforcing Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(g) 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 (as such date may have been extended pursuant to this Agreement), 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.

(x)    Within 45 days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (with respect to any Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall determine whether at that time, based on the Servicing Standard, whether there exists a Material Breach or Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Master Servicer (with respect to any Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan) determines that a Material Breach or Material Defect exists, the Enforcing Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Material Breach or Material Defect in accordance with Section 2.03(d).

(c)      The Asset Representations Reviewer 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 (1) to the

-456-

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 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 under 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 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 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 11.01; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (1) be affiliated with any Mortgage Loan Seller, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Holder or any of their respective Affiliates or (2) 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 Holder 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 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 11.02      Payment of Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fees and Expenses; Limitation of Liability.

(a)          As compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder, upon the completion of any Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to a fee that is a reasonable and customary hourly fee charged by the Asset Representations Reviewer for similar consulting

-457-

assignments at the time of such review and any related costs and expenses; provided that the total payment to the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be greater than the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Cap (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”). With respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger and the Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent Loans and are subject to an Asset Review (the “Subject Loans”), the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Cap” shall equal the sum of: (i) $17,750 multiplied by the number of Subject Loans, plus (ii) $1,775 per Mortgaged Property relating to the Subject Loans in excess of one Mortgaged Property per Subject Loan, plus (iii) $2,300 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Subject Loan subject to a ground lease, plus (iv) $1,275 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 other similar index if the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers is no longer calculated, for the year of the Closing Date and for the year of the occurrence of the Asset Review.

(b)          [Reserved.]

(c)          The related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review shall pay the portion of the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee attributable to the Delinquent Loan(s) contributed by it, as allocated on the basis of the hourly charges and costs and expenses incurred with respect to its related Delinquent Loans; provided that if the total charge for the Asset Representations Reviewer on an hourly fee plus costs and expenses basis would exceed the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Cap, each Mortgage Loan Seller’s required payment shall be reduced pro rata according to its proportion of the total charges until the aggregate amount owed by all Mortgage Loan Sellers is equal to the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Cap; provided, however, that if the related Mortgage Loan Seller (i) is insolvent or (ii) at any time after the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to such Certificates, fails to pay such amount within 90 days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer following its completion of the applicable Asset Review, such fee shall be paid by the Trust following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount; 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 related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, pursue remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller in order to seek recovery of such amounts from such Mortgage Loan Seller or its insolvency estate. The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan shall be included in the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review and that is repurchased by the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

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

(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

-458-

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 shall 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 the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect and (iv) the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each other party to this Agreement and the Rating Agencies in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall provide notice to each party to this Agreement and then will be the successor asset representations reviewer hereunder.

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 the 17g-5 Information Provider. Upon such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and give written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement. 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 reasonable costs and expenses of each other party hereto and each Rating Agency in connection with its resignation.

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:

-459-

(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 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 evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided that if such failure is capable of being cured and the Asset Representations Reviewer is diligently pursuing such cure, such 30 day period shall be extended by an additional 30 days;

(ii)      any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform its obligations set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the Asset Review Standard in any material respect, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to 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 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;

(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 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 (which shall be simultaneously delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer) of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders 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 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

-460-

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 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 shall 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 Sponsor 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 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, 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 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 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 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

-461-

Administrator, 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 11.03 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Asset Representations Reviewer subject to and in accordance with this Section 11.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor Asset Representations Reviewer within 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 Sponsors, the Depositor and, other than during 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).

Article XII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 12.01      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and the words “executed,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import as used above and elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this transaction shall include, in addition to manually executed signatures, images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, any electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law,

-462-

including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

Section 12.02      Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, or 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 Fund, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

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 Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, and nothing herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, shall be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; and no Certificateholder shall be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

Other than with respect to any rights to deliver a Certificateholder Repurchase Request and exercise the rights described under Section 2.03(k)(i), 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 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 12.02, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

-463-

No Certificateholder shall be a “Party in Interest” as described under 11 U.S.C. Section 1109(b) solely by virtue of its ownership of a Certificate.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement unless the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of any Whole Loan, any such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the related Intercreditor Agreement) confirming that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent with respect thereto have been satisfied, respectively, hereunder and such amendment will not cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust, or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund or any such Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust.

Section 12.09 Confirmation of Intent. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund (including the Mortgage Loans) by the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders as contemplated by this Agreement be treated for all purposes as a sale by the Depositor of the Trust Fund to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, if, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Trust Fund is held to continue to be property of the Depositor then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement under applicable law; (b) the transfer of the Trust Fund provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders of a first priority security interest in, and the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in, all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, the property identified in clauses (i) through (xiv) of the definition of “Trust Fund” and all proceeds thereof; (c) the possession by the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Depositor shall, and upon the request and direction of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement (and at the expense of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of any Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the related Intercreditor Agreement)), take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that such security interest is a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. It is the intent of the parties that such a security interest would be effective whether any of the Certificates are sold, pledged or assigned.

Section 12.10 No Intended Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as specified in Section 12.12 of this Agreement, no Person other than a party to this Agreement, any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Initial Purchaser, any Underwriter or any Certificateholder shall have any rights with respect to the enforcement of any of the rights or obligations hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 12.12 of this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement specifically state that no Borrower, Manager or other party to a Mortgage Loan is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Section 12.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (and, with respect to each Whole Loan, together with the related Intercreditor Agreement) contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understanding, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof.

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

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. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 A-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-1 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

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” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each

A-1-3

Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

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 (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (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

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

Assumed Final Distribution Date: October 2026	No.: A-2-[_]

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

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate

A-2-2

is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 A-2 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-2 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

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” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available

A-2-3

funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.

Assumed Final Distribution Date: August 2031	No.: A-SB-[_]

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-SB Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate

A-3-2

is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 A-SB Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-SB Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

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” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available

A-3-3

funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

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 (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (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; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and

A-3-4

Profits and any security agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interest; and (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower). As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

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

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-4-2

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. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 A-4 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-4 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

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” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having

A-4-3

appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

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 (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (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; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or

A-4-4

guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interest; and (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower). As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

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.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate denomination as the Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent 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 none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in Section 5.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any

A-4-5

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-5 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and

A-5-2

Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 A-5 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-5 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

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” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each

A-5-3

Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

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 (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (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; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all

A-5-4

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

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.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V 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.

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-M Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and

A-6-2

Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 A-M Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-M Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

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” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each

A-6-3

Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

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 (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (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; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

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.

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 B Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and

A-7-2

Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class B Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

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” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each

A-7-3

Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

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 (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (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; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

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.

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 C Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and

A-8-2

Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class C Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

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” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each

A-8-3

Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

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 (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (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; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

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.

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.

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class D Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

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

A-9-5

related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

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.

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. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class E Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

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

A-10-5

related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 G Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. 

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class G Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

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

A-12-5

“Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 H Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class H Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

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

A-13-5

“Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

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-A Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and

A-14-3

Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 X-A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X-A Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.

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” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each

A-14-4

Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

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 (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (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; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 X-B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X-B Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.

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

A-15-5

related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 X-D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X-D Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.

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

A-16-5

related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 X-F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X-F Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.

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” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month

A-17-5

immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 X-G Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X-G Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.

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” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month

A-18-5

immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 X-H Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X-H Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.

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” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month

A-19-5

immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

A-19-6

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, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

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.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V 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.

(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees, the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.

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

Distribution Account. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 S Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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

A-20-5

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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 S Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

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.

(C) all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and

(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees, the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.

BENCHMARK 2021-B30 MORTGAGE TRUST COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE
PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES, CLASS R

No.: R-1	Percentage Interest: [100]%
	CUSIP: 08163KAY71 ISIN: US08163KAY732

This certifies that [              ] is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class R Certificates issued by the Trust Fund. The Class R Certificateholder is not entitled to interest or principal distributions. The Class R Certificateholder will be entitled to receive the proceeds of the remaining assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC, if any, on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Certificates, after distributions in respect of any accrued but unpaid interest on the Certificates and after distributions in reduction of principal balance have reduced the principal balances of the Certificates to zero. It is not anticipated that there will be any assets remaining in the Upper-Tier REMIC or Trust Fund on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date following the distributions on the Regular Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Class R Certificate represents the sole “residual interests” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2)

¹ For Rule 144A Certificates

² For Rule 144A Certificates

A-21-4

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 Certificate Administrator shall be designated as the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code) for each Trust REMIC.

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. 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.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the

A-21-5

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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

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 (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (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; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interest; and (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower). As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

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.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and 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.

Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and 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”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents (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 (ii) a beneficial interest in the Excess Interest and proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 VRR Interest for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in December 2021. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the VRR Interest will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

A-22-4

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” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to 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 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 escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in

A-22-5

Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), entered into between Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, as certificate administrator, as paying agent and as custodian, on behalf of the holders of Benchmark 2021-B30 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”) with respect to the transfer by [__________] (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of [$_____ aggregate Certificate Balance][_____% Percentage Interest] of Class [_____] Certificates, in certificated fully registered form (such registered interest, the “Certificate”). 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:

[For Institutional Accredited Investors only] 1. The Purchaser is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an entity in which all of the equity owners are such accredited investors (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”), and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of

D-1-1

evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Certificate, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which the Purchaser is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of the investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the 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. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

[For Qualified Institutional Buyers only] 1. The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 to (i) “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of, and in transactions complying with, Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) entities qualifying as “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or any entity in which all of the equity owners are such accredited investors, or (iii) pursuant to any other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in the case of this clause (iii) 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 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 resell to only certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.

3. 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.

- 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;

Z-3

- is independently developed by the NRSRO without reference to any Confidential Information.

2. Information to Be Held in Confidence.

(a) 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”).

(b) 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.

(c) 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:

(i) 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;

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.

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.

ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES

Subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Exhibit sets forth Asset Representations Reviewer’s review procedures for each Delinquent Mortgage 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 JJ and the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall control and govern the Asset Representation 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 11.01 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 Mortgage Loans subject to the Asset Review

■ Review Materials for each Delinquent Mortgage Loan via Secure Data Room access, including the Diligence File

■ Any Unsolicited Information (if applicable)

Step 2 For each Delinquent Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan are missing, using the list of documents in Section 2.01(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any comparable lists included in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and any closing checklist from the origination of such Delinquent Mortgage Loan, to guide its review and determination

Exhibit JJ-1

Step 3 If ARR determines that the information made available to it in the Secure Data Room with respect to any Delinquent Mortgage Loan is missing any documents required to complete an Asset Review of such Delinquent Mortgage 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) or applicable Mortgage Loan Seller 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

Analysis and Testing of Representations and Warranties

Step 4 For each Delinquent Mortgage Loan for which ARR has received all Review Materials required to complete an Asset Review of such Delinquent Mortgage Loan, ARR tests such Delinquent Mortgage Loan for compliance with each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Mortgage 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

o 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

o completing the Asset Review Report by setting forth, for each Delinquent Mortgage 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 TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is dated as of February 1, 2020, among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Servicer, Pacific Life Insurance Company, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Custodian, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

Terms not defined in this Introductory Statement shall have the meanings specified in Article 1 hereof.

Reference is made to that certain ten year, interest-only, fixed-rate mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”), evidenced by three promissory notes (the “Notes”).

The Mortgage Loan was originated by Column Financial, Inc. (the “Sponsor”) pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2020 (the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Sponsor and Westchester Mall, LLC (the “Loan Borrower”). As of the Cut-off Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan was $400,000,000.

The Mortgage Loan consists of (a) a portion that has an unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $193,000,000, and is evidenced by Promissory Note A-1 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified, “Note A-1”), (b) a portion that has an unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $57,000,000, and is evidenced by Promissory Note B (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified, “Note B” and together with Note A-1, the “Trust Loan Notes”), (c) a portion that has an aggregate unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $75,000,000, and is evidenced by Promissory Note A-2 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, severed, split or otherwise modified, “Note A-2”) and (d) a portion that has an aggregate unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $75,000,000, and is evidenced by Promissory Note A-3 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, severed, split or otherwise modified, “Note A-3”, and together with Note A-2, the “Companion Loan Notes”). Note A-1, Note A-2 and Note A-3 are collectively referred to herein as the “A-Notes” and, each, as an “A-Note”. Note B is referred to herein as the “B-Note”. The Trust Loan Notes and the Companion Loan Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes” and, each, as a “Note”.

As of the Cut-off Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Note A-1 and Note B is $250,000,000 (the “Trust Loan”). As of the Cut-off Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Note A-2 and Note A-3 is $150,000,000 (the “Companion Loan”).

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Sponsor sold the Trust Loan to the Depositor pursuant to a Trust Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2020, by and between the Sponsor and the Depositor (the “Loan Purchase Agreement”).

As of the Closing Date, Note A-1 and the B-Note shall be held by the Trust, and Note A-2 and Note A-3 were held by the Sponsor. The relative rights of the respective lenders in respect of the Mortgage Loan are set forth in a co-lender agreement dated as of February 1, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Co-Lender Agreement”), by and between the initial holders of the A-Notes and the initial holder of the B-Note. From and after the Closing Date, the entire Mortgage Loan is to be serviced and administered in accordance with this Agreement.

As provided for herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause elections to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust Fund 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”). Each Class of Regular Certificates will represent a single Class of “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as further described herein. Each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests will represent a single class of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC as further described herein. The Class R Certificates will evidence the sole Class of “residual interests” in each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.

In exchange for the Trust Loan and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests, the Trust shall issue to the Depositor all the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class HRR and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), which Certificates in the aggregate shall evidence the entire beneficial interest in the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund consists principally of the Trust Loan Notes, the Mortgage and related Loan Documents (exclusive of the rights of the Companion Loan Holders thereunder) and all payments under, and proceeds of, the Trust Loan on and after the Cut-off Date.

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates to the Initial Purchaser in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws.

UPPER-TIER REMIC

As further described in Section 2.11, the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class HRR Certificates will evidence “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Class UT-R Interest will constitute the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder, and will be evidenced by the Class R Certificates. The following table sets forth the class designation, the Pass-Through Rate and the aggregate initial Certificate Balance (the “Initial Certificate Balance”) or Notional Amount (“Initial Notional Amount”), as applicable, for each Class of Certificates and the Class UT-R Interest comprising the interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder:

2 

Class Designation	Approximate Initial Pass-Through Rate (per annum)	Initial Certificate Balance or Initial Notional Amount
Class A	3.04030%	$160,200,000
Class X	0.19174%(1)	$160,200,000
Class B	3.23204%(2)	$23,500,000
Class C	3.23204%(2)	$27,000,000
Class D	3.23204%(2)	$19,600,000
Class HRR	3.23204%(2)	$19,700,000
Class UT-R	None(3)	None(3)

⁽¹⁾ The Class X Certificates will not have a Certificate Balance and will not be entitled to receive distributions of principal. Interest will accrue on such Class at the Pass-Through Rate thereof on the Notional Amount thereof. The Notional Amount of the Class X Certificates will be equal to the Certificate Balance of the Class A Certificates. The Class X Pass-Through Rate for any Certificate Interest Accrual Period is a variable per annum rate and will equal the Class X Strip Rate for the Class A Certificates for such Distribution Date.

⁽²⁾ For any Distribution Date, the Pass-Through Rates of the Class B, Class C, Class D and Class HRR Certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the Net Trust Loan Rate for the related Certificate Interest Accrual Period (adjusted, if necessary, to accrue on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months).

⁽³⁾ The Class UT-R 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 Charges. Any Available Funds remaining in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, after all required distributions under this Agreement have been made to each other Class of Certificates and the Class LT-R Interest, will be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the UT-R Interest.

LOWER-TIER REMIC

The Class LA, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD and Class LHRR Uncertificated Interests will evidence “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Class LT-R Interest will constitute the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder and will be evidenced by the Class R Certificates. The following table sets forth the initial Lower-Tier Principal Amounts and Pass-Through Rates for the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests and the Class LT-R Interest comprising the interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder:

Class Designation	Pass-Through Rate	Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount
Class LA	(1)	$160,200,000
Class LB	(1)	$23,500,000
Class LC	(1)	$27,000,000
Class LD	(1)	$19,600,000
Class LHRR	(1)	$19,700,000
Class LT-R	None(2)	None(2)

⁽¹⁾ For any Distribution Date, the Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests shall be the Net Trust Loan Rate for such Distribution Date.

3 

⁽²⁾ The Class LT-R 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 Charges. Any Available Funds constituting assets remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account after distributing the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LT-R Interest (but only to the extent of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date, if any, remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account).

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the trusts created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

(b)Collections by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of the Foreclosed Property (exclusive of amounts to be applied to the payment of the costs of operating, managing, leasing, maintaining and disposing of such Foreclosed Property) shall be applied in the following order of priority: first, as a recovery of any related and unreimbursed Advances plus interest accrued on such advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Trust Loan, as applicable, and, without duplication, unreimbursed Loan Borrower Reimbursable Trust Fund Expenses; second, as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances or interest on Nonrecoverable Advances to the extent previously reimbursed from principal collections with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Trust Loan, as applicable (which amount in respect of the Trust Loan is required to be treated as a collection on the Trust Loan in respect of principal in calculating the Regular Principal Distribution Amount); third, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on each Trust Loan Note that has not been the subject of a Monthly Payment Advance, to the extent of the excess of (i) accrued and unpaid interest on such outstanding Note at the applicable Note Rate (without giving effect to any increase in the Note Rate required under the Loan Agreement as a result of a Loan Event of Default) through and including the end of the Loan Interest Accrual Period in which such collections were received by or on behalf of the Trust (or, in the case of a full Monthly Payment from the Loan Borrower, through the related Distribution Date), over (ii) (x) the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of the interest portion of the related Monthly Payment Advances for such Trust Loan Note that have occurred in connection with Appraisal Reduction Amounts and (y) with respect to any accrued and unpaid interest that was not advanced due to a determination that the related Monthly Payment Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the amount of interest that (absent such determination of nonrecoverability preventing such Monthly Payment Advance from being made) would not have been advanced because of the reductions in the amount of the interest portion of the related Monthly Payment Advances that

60 

would have occurred in connection with the application of the related Appraisal Reduction Amounts (to the extent that collections have not been applied as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to clause fifth in Section 1.3(a) or clause fifth below on earlier dates) (such accrued and unpaid interest to be applied pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement); fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan, to the extent of its entire unpaid principal balance (such principal to be applied pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement); fifth, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on each Trust Loan Note to the extent of the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of the interest portion of the related Monthly Payment Advances for such Note that have occurred in connection with Appraisal Reduction Amounts or would have occurred in connection with the application of related Appraisal Reduction Amounts but for such Monthly Payment Advances not having been made as a result of a determination by the Servicer that such Monthly Payment Advance would have been a Nonrecoverable Advance (to the extent that collections have not been applied as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to clause fifth above or this clause fifth on earlier dates) (such accrued and unpaid interest to be applied pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement); sixth, as a recovery of any Prepayment Charge then due and owing under the Loan Documents (such Prepayment Charge to be applied pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement); seventh, as a recovery of any Default Interest or late charges then deemed to be due and owing under the Loan Documents; eighth, as a recovery of any assumption fees, assumption application fees, consent fees, defeasance fees (if applicable), release fees, substitution fees, Modification Fees and similar fees then due and owing under the Loan Documents; and ninth, as a recovery of any other amounts deemed to be due and owing in respect of the Loan Documents.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Co-Lender Agreement, but without changing any allocations under the Co-Lender Agreement between the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan, upon liquidation of the Trust Loan, a Note related to the Trust Loan or a Foreclosed Property, all Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the Trust Loan or Note will be applied so that amounts allocated as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable, will not, for purposes of making distributions on the Certificates, include accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan that has not been advanced by the Servicer as a result of Appraisal Reductions Amounts with respect to the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable (“Appraised Out Interest”). After the adjusted interest amount is so allocated, any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable, will be allocated to pay principal on the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable, until the unpaid principal amount thereof has been reduced to zero. Any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable, would then be allocated to pay Appraised Out Interest.

(d)All net present value calculations and determinations made under this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Trust Loan, the Companion Loan or the Property or the Foreclosed Property (including for purposes of the definition of “Accepted Servicing Practices”) shall be made using a discount rate appropriate for the type of cash flows being discounted; namely (i) for principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan, the Trust Loan or such Companion Loan or sale of the Mortgage Loan or any portion thereof if it is a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the highest of (1) the rate determined by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, that approximates the market rate that would be obtainable by the Loan Borrower on similar debt of the Loan Borrower as of such date of determination, (2) the Weighted

61 

Average Note Rate on the Mortgage Loan, Trust Loan or such Companion Loan, as the case may be based on their respective outstanding principal balances and (3) the yield on the most recently issued 10-year U.S. treasuries and (ii) for all other cash flows, including property cash flow, the “discount rate” set forth in the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provisions hereunder shall be construed to impose liability on the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor solely for the reason that any recovery to the Certificateholders in respect of the Trust Loan at any time after a determination of net present value is less than the amount reflected in such determination.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s prior written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the representative capacity of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or (ii) take any action with the intent to, and which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.

79 

The liability of each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, for actions and omissions in its capacity as Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, hereunder is limited as provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6.3). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectibility of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan.

The parties hereto acknowledge that the Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the Co-Lender Agreement and recognize the respective rights and obligations of the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and of the Companion Loan Holders under the Co-Lender Agreement, including: (i) with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and the making of remittances, to the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and to the Companion Loan Holders; (ii) with respect to the allocation of expenses and losses relating to the Mortgage Loan to the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and to the Companion Loan Holders and (iii) to the extent provided for under the Co-Lender Agreement, the consultation rights of the Companion Loan Holders. With respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer (if the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the Mortgage Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan or any Property has been converted to a Foreclosed Property) shall prepare and provide to each Companion Loan Holder all notices, reports, statements and communications to be delivered by the holder of the Trust Loan under the Co-Lender Agreement, and shall perform all duties and obligations to be performed by a servicer and perform all servicing related duties and obligations to be performed by the holder of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Co-Lender Agreement, the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement shall control with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at no time shall the Servicer or the Trustee be required to make any advance of delinquent scheduled monthly payments of principal or interest with respect to the Companion Loan.

To the extent required under the Loan Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement, the Servicer shall, on behalf of the Loan Lender, maintain a note register for the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Loan Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement. The Sponsor is the initial and sole holder of the Companion Loan as of the Closing Date, and notices regarding such ownership shall be addressed to the Sponsor at the address set forth in Section 10.4.

Section 3.2.         Sub-Servicing Agreements. (a)  The Special Servicer shall not engage any sub-servicer or enter into any sub-servicing agreement. The Servicer, at its own expense without a right of reimbursement under this Agreement or otherwise, may enter into sub-servicing agreements with sub-servicers for the servicing and administration of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan, provided that (i) any such sub-servicing agreement shall be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Servicer and the sub-servicer have agreed, and (ii) no sub-servicer retained by the Servicer shall grant any modification, waiver, or amendment to the Loan Documents without the approval of the Servicer. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken, and limitations on actions permitted to be taken, by the Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loan include actions taken or to be taken by a sub-servicer on behalf of the Servicer. Each sub-servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business and licensed in the applicable state(s), if, and to the extent, required by applicable law to enable the sub-servicer

80 

to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement, and (ii) qualified to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any amount when the sub-servicer receives such amount, irrespective of whether such amount is remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, any Cash Management Account, any Reserve Account or the Distribution Account, and actions taken by the sub-servicer shall be deemed to be actions of the Servicer. The Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Loan Borrower and the Depositor in writing promptly upon the appointment of any sub-servicer and promptly furnish the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon its request, with a copy of the sub-servicing agreement. No sub-servicer shall be permitted to enter into any sub-servicing agreement with other sub-servicers without the prior written consent of the Servicer.

(b)             Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreement, or by virtue of indemnification from a sub-servicer, and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan.

(c)             Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by (i) the Trustee if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Servicer or if the Servicer is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) a successor Servicer if such successor Servicer has assumed the duties of the Servicer, without cost or obligation to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the successor Servicer, the Trust or the Trust Fund.

(d)             Any sub-servicing agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loan involving a sub-servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Servicer and such sub-servicer alone, and the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the sub-servicer, and no provision herein shall be construed so as to require the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor to indemnify any such sub-servicer. The Servicer is permitted, at its own expense, or to the extent that a particular expense is provided herein to be an Advance or an expense of the Trust, at the expense of the Trust, to utilize other agents or attorneys typically used by servicers of mortgage loans underlying commercial mortgage backed securities in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(e)             Notwithstanding anything herein, each of the initial Servicer and the initial Special Servicer may delegate certain of its duties and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Such delegation shall not be considered a sub-servicing agreement hereunder, and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to sub-servicing agreements, sub-servicers or Servicing Function Participants shall not be applicable to such arrangement. Notwithstanding any such delegation, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same

81 

extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan as required hereby.

Section 3.3.         Cash Management Account. A Lockbox Account and a Cash Management Account have been or shall be established pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement and the Lockbox Account Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall withdraw from the related Collection Account and remit to the Companion Loan Holders (or, if the Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization Trust, to the master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds, any amounts that represent late collections on the related Companion Loan (exclusive of any portion of such amount payable or reimbursable to any other party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, unless such amount would otherwise be included in the remittances set forth in clauses (vii) and (viii) ; provided, however, to the extent any such amounts are received after 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on any given Business Day, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such late collections to the Companion Loan Holders (or, if the Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization Trust, to the master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds but, in any event, the Servicer shall remit such amounts within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Remittance Date, in no event will the Servicer be permitted to make a withdrawal pursuant to clauses (iii), (v)(b), (vi), (ix) or (xi) to the extent that, as a result of such withdrawal, the amount on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to the withdrawal would be less than the amount of the Required Advance Amount; provided that the Servicer shall be permitted to make withdrawals up to the amount on deposit in the Collection Account up to an amount that would result in funds equaling or exceeding the Required Advance Amount remaining in the Collection Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such withdrawal limitations shall not apply (and accrued amounts

85 

previously eligible for withdrawal pursuant to clauses (iii), (v)(b), (vi), (ix) or (xi) but which remain unpaid due to the operation of this paragraph may then be withdrawn and paid) upon (1) the final liquidation of the Trust Loan or the Property, (2) the final payment of the Trust Loan and release of the Mortgages or (3) the determination that any Advance that would increase the currently unreimbursed Advances in the aggregate would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Servicer shall advance, to the extent it determines that such amounts are recoverable, all amounts owed to itself (other than Servicing Fees), CREFC^®, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and Trustee pursuant to such clauses (iii), (v)(b), (vi) (to the extent reimbursements of such amounts are owed to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator), (ix) or (xi) (other than unreimbursed Property Protection Advances and Monthly Payment Advances made by the Servicer, which shall continue to remain outstanding) (such advances, “Administrative Advances”). All Administrative Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.21. Notwithstanding any provision herein, the Servicer shall not be obligated to make any Administrative Advance that it determines, together with interest thereon, will constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance if made.

The Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator (on behalf of itself and the Trustee), the Operating Advisor and advance or pay to the Special Servicer, if applicable, from the Collection Account as provided above amounts permitted to be paid to the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, therefrom, promptly upon receipt of certificates of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer and a Responsible Officer of the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee, respectively, are entitled; provided, however, that the Servicer shall pay the Certificate Administrator Fee to the Certificate Administrator without requiring the delivery of such certificate. The Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate, shall have no duty to recalculate the amounts stated therein and shall have no liability if the amount paid in reliance thereon is an amount to which the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is not entitled.

(d)             The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain in the name of the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a segregated non-interest bearing reserve account (which may be a subaccount of the Distribution Account) (the “Interest Reserve Account”). The Interest Reserve Account must be an Eligible Account or a subaccount of an Eligible Account. Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account shall be uninvested. On each Distribution Date occurring in any February and on any Distribution Date occurring in any January that occurs in a year that is not a leap year (unless, in either case, such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall deposit into the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to one day’s net interest collected on the principal balance of each Trust Loan Note as of the Loan Payment Date occurring in the calendar month preceding the calendar month in which such Distribution Date occurs at the applicable Net Trust Loan Rate (net of the Servicing Fee, the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee, the Operating Advisor Fee and the Certificate Administrator Fee payable therefrom and exclusive of Default Interest) to the extent a full Monthly Payment or Monthly Payment Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January and February, “Withheld Amounts”). On each 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

86 

Reserve Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January and February, if any, and transfer such amounts into the Distribution Account.

On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the aggregate Interest Deposit Amount. On or prior to the Remittance Date in March 2020, the Certificate Administrator shall transfer to the Lower-Tier Distribution Account the Interest Deposit Amount on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account.

Section 3.5.         Distribution Account. (a)  The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders a segregated non-interest bearing trust account (the “Distribution Account”), which shall be deemed to include the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, which shall be subaccounts of the Distribution Account for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests. The Distribution Account must be an Eligible Account. On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall transfer from the Collection Account to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account all Available Funds remaining on deposit therein, after giving effect to the withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.4(c). The Certificate Administrator shall credit the funds remitted by the Servicer from the Collection Account to the Distribution Account. Amounts held in the Distribution Account shall be uninvested.

The Certificate Administrator shall make withdrawals from the Distribution Account to make distributions to the Holders of the Certificates pursuant to Section 4.1.

(b)             The Certificate Administrator shall make or be deemed to have made withdrawals from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in the following order of priority and only for the following purposes:

(i)             to make deposits of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and Section 4.3(b) into the Upper-Tier Distribution Account and to make distributions to the Holder of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest) pursuant to Section 4.1(b);

(ii)             to withdraw amounts deposited into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in error and pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto; and

(iii)             to clear and terminate the Lower-Tier Distribution Account pursuant to Section 10.1.

(c)             The Certificate Administrator shall make withdrawals from the Upper-Tier Distribution Account in the following order of priority and only for the following purposes:

(i)             to withdraw amounts deposited in error and to withdraw amounts due to it under Section 3.4(c), to the extent such amounts were not withdrawn and paid to it by the Servicer under Section 3.4(c);

87 

(ii)             to make distributions to Holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest) on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 9.1 as applicable; and

(iii)             to clear and terminate the Upper-Tier Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1.

Section 3.6.         Foreclosed Property Account. The Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more deposit accounts (the “Foreclosed Property Account”) in the name of either (a) “Pacific Life Insurance Company, as Special Servicer on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders of CSMC 2020-WEST, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-WEST” related to the Foreclosed Property, if any, held in the name of the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders or (b) in the name of the limited liability company formed under Section 3.14. The Foreclosed Property Account must be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt all funds collected and received in connection with the operation or ownership of such Foreclosed Property. On or before the last day of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall withdraw the funds in the Foreclosed Property Account, net of certain expenses and/or reserves, and deposit them into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(a). The Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in writing of the location and account number of the Foreclosed Property Account and shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in writing prior to any subsequent change thereof.

Section 3.7.         Appraisal Reductions. (a)  Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event of which the Special Servicer has knowledge, the Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (and so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative) (i) of the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, (ii) (A) order and (B) use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to obtain an independent Appraisal of the Property (unless an appraisal of the Property was performed within nine (9) months prior to the Appraisal Reduction Event and the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change in the market or condition or value of the Property since the date of such Appraisal (in which case, such appraisal shall be used by the Special Servicer)) and (iii) determine (no later than the first Distribution Date on or following the receipt of such appraisal or determination to use an existing Appraisal) (so long as such Appraisal was received at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date (in which case it shall determine no later than the second Distribution Date following the receipt of such Appraisal)) on the basis of the applicable Appraisal, and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Servicer in the Servicer’s possession necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount (which information shall be delivered within two (2) Business Days after receipt of any such request) whether there exists any Appraisal Reduction Amount and, if so, give reasonably prompt notice thereof to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders (or, in the case of the Companion Loan that is part of an Other Securitization Trust, the master servicer, special servicer and trustee with respect to such Other Securitization Trust) and the Certificate Administrator. The cost of obtaining such appraisal shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance unless it would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and in such case, as an expense of the Trust. Updates

88 

of appraisals shall be obtained by the Special Servicer and paid for by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance (or paid for by the Trust if the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) every nine (9) months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists, and the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be adjusted accordingly, and, if required in accordance with any such adjustment, each Class of Certificates that has been notionally reduced as a result of Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored (or reduced if applicable) to the extent required by such adjustment of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, and there shall be a redetermination of whether a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event is then in effect. Any such appraisal obtained shall be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer and, so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative, in electronic format (which format is reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator), and the Certificate Administrator shall make such Appraisal available to Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b).

The Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates that is or would be determined to no longer be the Controlling Class (such Class, an “Appraised Out Class” and such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”) as a result of an allocation of an Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination and, at their sole expense, obtain a second Appraisal of any Property an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred. The Requesting Holders shall cause the Appraisal to be prepared on an “as is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards, and the Appraisal shall be reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Requesting Holders shall provide the Special Servicer with notice of their intent to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination within 10 days of the Requesting Holders’ receipt of written notice of the determination of such Appraisal Reduction Amount.

An Appraised-Out Class for which the Requesting Holders are challenging the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination may not exercise any rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as such Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class. After the Appraised Out Class is no longer entitled to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class, the rights of the Controlling Class will not be exercised by any the Class of Certificates, 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 the Property if an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and if an event has occurred at or with regard to the Property that would have a material effect on its Appraised Value, and the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within 30 days from receipt of such Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Appraisal if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that no events at or with regard to the Property have occurred that would have a material effect on such Appraised Value of the Property.

89 

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 Servicer reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether, based on its assessment of such additional Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver notice to the Certificate Administrator of any such determination and recalculation in its monthly report, 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 Accepted Servicing Practices or this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Holder of an Appraised Out Class.

(b)             While an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, (i) the amount of any Monthly Payment Advances shall be reduced as provided in Section 3.21(a), and (ii) the existence thereof will be taken into account for purposes of determining (a) the Voting Rights of certain Classes of Certificates as provided in Section 3.7(c) or (b) if a Control Termination Event is continuing.

(c)             The Certificate Balance of each class of the Sequential Pay Certificates shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining (x) the Voting Rights of the related Classes and the Controlling Class and (y) whether a Control Termination Event is continuing on any Distribution Date) on any Distribution Date, to the extent of the Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date. The Mortgage Loan shall be treated as a single loan for purposes of calculating the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall be allocated, first, to Note B, up to its respective outstanding principal balance, and then to Note A-1 and the Companion Loan on a pro rata and pari passu basis (based on their relative outstanding principal balances). The Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the Trust Loan Notes for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Sequential Pay Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class HRR Certificates; second, to the Class D Certificates, third, to the Class C Certificates; and fourth, to the Class B Certificates; (provided that in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of any Class A Certificate.

(d)             In the event that a portion(s) of one or more Monthly Payment Advances with respect to the Trust Loan was reduced as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to interest shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such reductions and the portion of such Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal shall be increased by such amount, and if the amounts of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal have been applied to pay the principal of the Trust Loan in full, any remaining Net

90 

Liquidation Proceeds shall then be applied to pay any remaining accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan in accordance with Section 1.3.

(e)             If (i) an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, (ii) with respect to the Property, either (A) no Appraisal or update of the Appraisal has been obtained or conducted with respect to the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, during the nine (9) month period prior to the date of such Appraisal Reduction Event or (B) a material change in the circumstances surrounding the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, has occurred since the date of the most recent Appraisal that would materially adversely affect the value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, and (iii) no new Appraisal has been obtained or conducted for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, then (x) until the new Appraisal is obtained for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, the appraised value of the Property for purposes of determining the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be equal to 75% of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (the “Assumed Appraised Value”), and (y) upon receipt or performance of the new Appraisal by the Special Servicer, the appraised value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, shall be based on such new Appraisal and the Appraisal Reduction Amount will be recalculated in accordance with the definition of Appraisal Reduction Amount.

Section 3.8.         Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, Any Foreclosed Property Account, the Cash Management Account and Any Reserve Account. (a)  The Servicer (and, with respect to the Foreclosed Property Account, the Special Servicer) may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Cash Management Account, any Reserve Account (to the extent interest is not payable to the Borrower) or the Foreclosed Property Account, respectively (each, for purposes of this Section 3.8, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments that bear interest or are sold at a discount, and that mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement. Any direction by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing and shall certify that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall have sole control (except with respect to investment direction, which shall be in the control of the Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to the Foreclosed Property Account) 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 agent (which shall initially be the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or its nominee. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall:

91 

(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 (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

(ii)             demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment Account.

(b)             All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account, the Cash Management Account and any Reserve Account, but only to the extent that the Loan Documents do not require such funds to be remitted to the Loan Borrower, shall be for the benefit of the Servicer in accordance with the terms and priorities of this Agreement. All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer. Any net losses on funds in the Collection Account, the Cash Management Account any Reserve Account or the Foreclosed Property Account shall be reimbursed by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from its own funds promptly, but in any event on or prior to the Remittance Date following the realization of such loss.

(c)             Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Servicer 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 Servicer takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.4(c), for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Servicer in connection therewith.

(d)             For the avoidance of doubt, the Collection Account (other than the portion of the Collection Account relating to amounts held on behalf of the Companion Loan Holders describe in clause (ii) of the definition thereof), the Foreclosed Property Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Lower-Tier Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by the Lower-Tier REMIC, and the Upper-Tier 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.

(e)             Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer, nor the Special Servicer shall cover any losses from the bankruptcy or insolvency of a depository institution holding an account described in this Section 3.8, so long as (i) such depositary institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Institution at the time such deposit was made and such institution was not an Affiliate of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable and (ii) such loss was incurred within 30 days after the earlier of (a) the date of such bankruptcy or insolvency or (b) the date on which the depositary institution or trust company failed to satisfy the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Institution.

        

92 

Section 3.9. Payment of Taxes, Assessments, etc. The Servicer (other than with respect to the Foreclosed Property) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Foreclosed Property) shall maintain accurate records with respect to the Property (or the Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) reflecting the status of taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the Property (or the Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) and the status of insurance premiums payable in respect of insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof. The Servicer shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums). The Servicer shall pay (or cause to be paid) real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other similar items from funds in the applicable Reserve Account in accordance with the Loan Agreement at such time as may be required by the Loan Documents. If the Loan Borrower does not make the necessary payments and/or a Loan Event of Default has occurred and amounts in the applicable Reserve Account are insufficient to make such payments, the Servicer shall make a Property Protection Advance, subject to the determination of non-recoverability provided in Section 3.21, from its own funds for amounts payable with respect to all such items related to the Property when and as the same shall become due and payable. The Servicer shall ensure that the amount of funds in the applicable Reserve Account is increased when and if applicable taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items, ground rents or insurance premiums are increased, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.

Section 3.10.     Appointment of Special Servicer. (a)  Pacific Life Insurance Company is hereby appointed as the initial Special Servicer to service the Mortgage Loan while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing and perform the other obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder.

The Trustee shall, promptly after receiving notice of any such removal, so notify the Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders and, subject to Section 10.17, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, pursuant to Section 10.16). The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, the initial Special Servicer specified above shall not be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer. No termination fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer. No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until the successor Special Servicer has assumed all of its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder in writing, a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee and Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee. Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.5(a) mutatis mutandis as of the date of its succession. The terminated Special Servicer shall retain all rights accruing to it under this Agreement, including the right to receive fees accrued prior to its termination and other amounts payable to it (including indemnification payments).

(c)             Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, and the Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents

93 

(but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to the Mortgage Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto (and concurrently provide a copy of such Mortgage File, exclusive of all Privileged Information, to the Operating Advisor). The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the date that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred. The Servicer in any event shall continue to act as Servicer and administrator of the Mortgage Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of the Mortgage Loan, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, which shall occur, in the case of a Special Servicing Loan Event, upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the information, documents and records referred to in the preceding sentence. The Special Servicer shall instruct the Loan Borrower to continue to remit all payments in respect of the Mortgage Loan to the Servicer. The Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Loan Borrower under the Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the Loan Borrower while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing.

(d)             Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event is no longer continuing, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Companion Loan Holders, and upon giving such notice such Special Servicing Loan Event shall cease, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service the Mortgage Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan shall resume and the Special Servicer shall return all of the information and materials furnished to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10(c) to the Servicer.

(e)             In making a Major Decision or in servicing the Mortgage Loan during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the Certificate Administrator originals of documents entered into in connection therewith that are required to be included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the Mortgage File (to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence with the Loan Borrower, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Servicer as well as copies of any related analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer.

(f)              During any period in which a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing, no later than the Business Day preceding each date on which the Servicer is required to furnish a report under Section 3.18(a) to the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer a written statement (or, if applicable, one or more CREFC^® reports that contain the information in clause (i) below) describing (i) the amount of all payments on account of interest received on each Note, the amount of all payments on account of principal received on each Note, the amount of Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds received, the amount of any Foreclosure Proceeds received with respect to the Property, and the amount of net income or net loss, as determined from management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any rental income that does not constitute rents from real property with respect to, the Foreclosed Property, in each case in accordance with

94 

Section 3.15 and (ii) such additional information relating to the Mortgage Loan as the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator reasonably requests to enable it to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(g)             Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsection (c), the Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to the Mortgage Loan and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(h)             The Special Servicer, at the earlier of (x) within 60 days after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event and (y) prior to taking action with respect to any Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Major Decision) if a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs, shall prepare a report (the “Asset Status Report”) for the Mortgage Loan. Each Asset Status Report will be delivered in electronic format to the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in effect), the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders (as and to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement) and, subject to Section 10.17, the Rating Agency; provided, however, that (1) the Special Servicer shall not be required to deliver an Asset Status Report to the Controlling Class Representative if they are the same entity or affiliates of each other and (2) the Special Servicer shall not deliver any Asset Status Report to the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is a Borrower Related Party. Such Asset Status Report shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:

(i)                summary of the status of the Mortgage Loan and any negotiations with the Loan Borrower;

(ii)               a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known at such time to the Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the Mortgage Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

(iii)              the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the Property;

(iv)             the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how the Mortgage Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise realized upon;

(v)              the appraised value of the Property together with the appraisal or the assumptions used in the calculation thereof;

(vi)             the status of any foreclosure actions or other proceedings undertaken with respect thereto, any proposed workouts with respect thereto and the status of any negotiations with respect to such workouts, and an assessment of the likelihood of additional Loan Events of Default;

95 

(vii)             a description of any proposed actions;

(viii)            a description of any proposed amendment, modification or waiver of a material term of a ground lease;

(ix)              the alternative courses of action considered by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed actions;

(x)              the decision that the Special Servicer made or intends or proposes to make, including a narrative analysis setting forth the Special Servicer’s rationale for its proposed decision, including its rejection of the alternatives; and an analysis of whether or not taking such action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination and (y) the net present value calculation (including the applicable discount rate used) and all related assumptions. In connection with the foregoing analysis, if the Loan Borrower has indicated its refusal to pay any Work-out Fees, Special Servicing Fees or Liquidation Fees due to the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer must consider the costs to the Trust and analyze the exercise of alternative remedies;

(xi)              a summary of the status of any action that was described in the most recent prior Asset Status Report and subsequently effected by the Special Servicer; and

(xii)             such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the proposed action and Accepted Servicing Practices.

For so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Controlling Class Representative will have the right to disapprove the Asset Status Report prepared by the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Asset Status Report. For so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, if within 10 Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Controlling Class Representative does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing or if the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that the disapproval by the Controlling Class Representative (communicated to the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders, then the Controlling Class Representative shall be deemed to have approved such Asset Status Report and 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, Accepted Servicing Practices or the terms of the applicable Loan Documents. In addition, so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative may object to any asset status report within ten (10) business days of receipt; provided, however, that if the Special Servicer determines that action recommended in an Asset Status Report 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 ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such actions before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period would materially

96 

adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders, and (so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Class Representative. If, so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative disapproves such Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt and the Special Servicer has not made an affirmative determination pursuant to the proviso in the preceding sentence, the Special Servicer will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in effect), the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the related Companion Loan Holders and, subject to Section 10.17 of this Agreement, the Rating Agency a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after such disapproval. So long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above until the Controlling Class Representative 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, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constitute a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note) provided that, if the Controlling Class Representative 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 Accepted Servicing Practices. The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “Controlling Class Representative Approval Process”. For so long as no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall provide each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor promptly after the completion of the Controlling Class Representative Approval Process.

The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with the Specially Serviced Loan to (i) the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and (ii) the Controlling Class Representative (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred). After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to consult with, and provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of each 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 extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are holders of the Controlling Class Certificates), as a collective whole. The Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action, if any, and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative) in connection with the Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report that is provided while an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing. The Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor (and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative), to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or Controlling Class Representative’s input and/or recommendations are consistent

97 

with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Co-Lender Agreement or the terms of the applicable Loan Documents and in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole. Promptly upon determining to revise any Asset Status Report to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor (and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative), the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor (and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative) the revised Asset Status Report until a Final Asset Status Report is issued.

In connection with the approval or consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative and/or Operating Advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report, if the Special Servicer determines that action recommended in an Asset Status Report 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 ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such actions before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders, and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Class Representative or the Operating Advisor, as applicable.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.10(h). 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 Event, the Operating Advisor, shall consult with the Special Servicer (telephonically or electronically) and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. After the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative (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 (provided that an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing) 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 Accepted Servicing Practices to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative.

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 3.10(h). In any event, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, if the Controlling Class Representative does not approve an Asset Status Report within sixty (60) Business Days from the first submission thereof, the Special Servicer shall take such action as directed by the Controlling Class Representative, provided that such action does not violate Accepted Servicing Practices.

98 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any matter set forth therein. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.10(h). The Special Servicer will be required to (x) deliver to the Certificate Administrator a proposed notice to the Certificateholders that will include a summary of the Final Asset Status Report in an electronic format which format is reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator (which must be a brief summary of the current status of the Property and current strategy with respect to the Mortgage Loan), and the Certificate Administrator will be required to post such notice and summary (but not such Final Asset Status Report) on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (y) implement the Asset Status Report in the form delivered to the Depositor. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and, following delivery of such modified Asset Status Report to the 17g-5 Information Provider and a summary of the same to the Certificate Administrator, which the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Certificate Administrator, respectively shall post on their respective Websites pursuant to Section 8.14(c) or Section 10.16, as applicable.

(i)              During the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the Loan Borrower and take any actions consistent with Section 3.22, Accepted Servicing Practices and the most recent Asset Status Report.

(j)              In addition, during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, on the last day of each Collection Period the Special Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Servicer the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

(k)             Beginning in 2021, the Special Servicer shall prepare and file on a timely basis the reports of foreclosure and abandonment of the Property required by Section 6050J of the Code and the reports of discharges of indebtedness income in respect of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan required by Section 6050P of the Code.

(l)              Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Controlling Class Representative or the Operating Advisor that would require or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law or provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse REMIC Event (other than the imposition of a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”), be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, require or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, require or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement.

Section 3.11.     Maintenance of Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a)  The Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Loan

99 

Documents, shall use efforts consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices to cause to be maintained by the Loan Borrower (or if the Loan Borrower fail to maintain such insurance in accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee of record, has an insurable interest) insurance with respect to the Property of the types and in the amounts required to be maintained (to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, provided that the commercially reasonable requirement shall not apply with respect to terrorism insurance which will be governed by the Loan Documents) by the Loan Borrower under the Loan Documents. The cost of any such insurance maintained by the Servicer shall be advanced by the Servicer, as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance in which case it shall be paid by the Trust, and as applicable, by the Companion Loan Holders pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to maintain, and shall not cause the Loan Borrower to be in default with respect to the failure of the Loan Borrower 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, on an annual basis, that such failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default. In making any determination related to an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, is entitled to rely on the opinion of an insurance consultant. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain terrorism insurance pursuant to this Agreement to the extent the Loan Borrower would not be obligated to maintain terrorism insurance under the Loan Documents as in effect on the date thereof.

(b)             The Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Loan Documents, shall cause to be maintained such insurance (including environmental insurance) with respect to the Foreclosed Property the Loan Borrower is required to maintain with respect to the Property referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 3.11 or, at the Special Servicer’s election, coverage satisfying insurance requirements consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of any such insurance with respect to the Foreclosed Property shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account or shall be advanced by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such insurance (other than terrorism insurance, which shall be maintained to the extent required under subsection (a) of this Section 3.11) that is required to be maintained with respect to the Foreclosed Property shall only be so required to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. If the Special Servicer requests the Servicer to make a Property Protection Advance in respect of the premiums due in respect of such insurance, the Servicer shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of such request, make such Property Protection Advance unless such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if the Servicer does not make such Advance, the Trustee (within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of notice of the Servicer’s failure to make such Advance) shall make an Advance of the premiums to maintain such insurance, provided that, in each such case, such obligations shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances, the Trustee as mortgagee of record having an insurable interest and the availability of such insurance at commercially reasonable rates.

(c)             The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may satisfy its obligations to cause insurance policies to be maintained by maintaining a master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring against losses on the Property or the Foreclosed Property, as the case may be for which coverage is otherwise required to be maintained as set forth in the preceding

100 

subsections of this Section 3.11. The incremental cost of such insurance allocable to the Property or the Foreclosed Property, if not borne by the Loan Borrower, shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If such master force placed or blanket insurance policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be obligated to deposit in the Collection Account out of its own funds all sums that would have been deposited therein but for such clause to the extent any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the Mortgage Loan, or in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(d)             Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense, and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, the issuer of which is rated no lower than the applicable Qualified Insurer Ratings, covering its directors, officers and employees, as applicable, in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Each such insurance policy shall protect the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, against losses resulting directly from forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions of such covered persons. Coverage of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate thereof and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.11(d) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.11(d). The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that is required by applicable governmental authorities having regulatory power over the Servicer and the Special Servicer. If no such coverage amounts are imposed by such regulatory authorities, the amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required by FNMA or FHLMC with respect to the Servicer and the Special Servicer if each were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan for FNMA or FHLMC or as otherwise approved by FNMA or FHLMC. In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy. Each shall use reasonable effort to cause each and every sub-servicer, if any, to maintain a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy meeting the requirements as described above. In lieu of the foregoing, but subject to this Section 3.11, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to self-insure with respect to such risks so long as its (or its immediate or ultimate parent’s) long term unsecured debt rating is rated no lower than “A-” by S&P, “A-” by Fitch, “A3” by Moody’s, “A-VIII” by A.M. Best, “A(low)” by DBRS, Inc., or “A-” or its equivalent by Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc. (if rated by Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc.) (or such other rating as to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained).

(e)             No provision of this Section 3.11 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer or the Special Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to request, upon receipt of a written request from any Certificateholder, and the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, a certificate of insurance from the surety and insurer certifying that such insurance is in full force and effect. The Certificate Administrator will make any such certificate of insurance available to the requesting Certificateholder on a confidential basis.

(f)              The Operating Advisor shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement an “errors and omissions”

101 

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 3.12.     Procedures with Respect to the Mortgage Loan; Realization upon the Property. (a)  Upon the occurrence of a Loan Event of Default, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall promptly pursue the remedies set forth therein, including foreclosure or other realization on the Property and the other collateral for the Mortgage Loan. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the applicable Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(b)             Such proposed acceleration of the Mortgage Loan and/or foreclosure on the Property shall be taken unless the Special Servicer waives such Loan Event of Default (or modifies or amends the Mortgage Loan to cure the Loan Event of Default), which the Special Servicer may do if such modification, waiver or amendment is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and does not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (other than the imposition of a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Section 860G(c) of the Code).

(c)             In connection with such foreclosure as described in Section 3.12(a) or other realization on the Property, the Special Servicer shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to direct the Servicer, and neither the Special Servicer nor the Servicer shall be required, to expend its own funds to restore any Property damaged by an Uninsured Cause unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, permitted the related insurance policy to lapse in violation of its respective obligations hereunder. If the Servicer does expend its own funds to restore the Property damaged by an Uninsured Cause (which insurance policy did not lapse in violation of the Servicer’s obligations), such expense shall be a Property Protection Advance. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d)             Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer may not foreclose on the Property on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders and thereby cause the Trust to be the beneficial owner of the Property, or take any other action with respect to the Property that would cause the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders, to be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of the Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined, based on a report prepared at the expense of the Trust by an independent person who regularly conducts site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties (a copy of such report to be provided by the Special Servicer to the Companion Loan Holders, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website), that (i) the Property is in compliance with applicable

102 

environmental laws or that taking the remedial actions necessary to comply with such laws is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions and (ii) there are no circumstances known to the Special Servicer relating to the use of hazardous substances or petroleum-based materials which require investigation or remediation, or that if such circumstances exist taking such remedial actions is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions. The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, subject to Section 10.17.

If the Special Servicer has so determined based on satisfaction of the criteria in this Section 3.12(d) that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note) (as determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) to institute a foreclosure or take any other actions described in the immediately preceding paragraph, then subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative to consent to, and the Controlling Class Representative and the Operating Advisor to consult in respect of, such action, as applicable, the Special Servicer shall take such proposed action. The Special Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise cause the Trust to acquire ownership of any Collateral other than the Property unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) to the effect that such acquisition will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (other than the imposition of a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Section 860G(c) of the Code).

The Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean up or remediation as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(e)             The environmental site assessments contemplated by Section 3.12(d) shall be prepared by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties, as determined by the Servicer in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of each such environmental site assessment shall qualify as a Property Protection Advance and shall be advanced by the Servicer unless the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(f)              Notwithstanding any acquisition of title to the Property following a Loan Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan and cancellation of the Mortgage Loan, the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan, the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding and, in the case of the Trust Loan, held in the Trust Fund for purposes of the application of collections and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. For purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding, (i) it shall be assumed that the unpaid principal balance of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan immediately after any discharge is equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Trust Loan or the Companion Loan immediately prior to such discharge and (ii) Foreclosure Proceeds shall be applied as provided in Section 1.3(b) and the Co-Lender Agreement.

103 

(g)             Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire and hold for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property (including any non-real property Collateral) pursuant to this Section 3.12 unless:

(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 Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance in which case it shall be treated as a trust fund expense) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event at any time that any Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest or Certificate is outstanding (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).

Section 3.13.     Trustee, Certificate Administrator and Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Items in the Mortgage File. From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing of the Mortgage Loan or Foreclosure of or realization on any Property, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of written request of a Servicing Officer of the Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a request for release in the form of Exhibit B hereto, release or cause to be released any items from the Mortgage File to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, within the lesser of (i) seven (7) calendar days and (ii) five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the related receipt for release. The Special Servicer shall institute all Foreclosures as an authorized delegate of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders, pursuant to a limited power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit N-2 hereto from the Trustee to the Special Servicer. In the event that the Special Servicer cannot institute a Foreclosure in its own name, the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall, at the written request of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer, execute such documents furnished to it as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such Foreclosure. Such receipt for release shall obligate the Servicer or the Special Servicer to (and the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall) return such items to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Special Servicer no longer exists.

Section 3.14.     Title and Management of Foreclosed Property. (a)  In the event that title to any Property is acquired for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the deed, certificate of sale or other comparable document shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer), on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders or as otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 8.10. Title may be taken in the name of a limited liability company wholly-owned by the Trust (such limited liability company, the “Foreclosure LLC”) and which is managed by the Special Servicer (the costs of which shall be advanced by the Servicer, provided that such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance). Promptly after such acquisition of title, the Special Servicer shall consult with counsel to determine when an Acquisition Date shall be deemed to occur under the REMIC Provisions with respect to such

104 

Property, the expense of such consultation being treated as a reimbursable expense of the Special Servicer related to the foreclosure. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders, shall dispose of the Foreclosed Property held by the Trust as expeditiously as appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but in any event within the time period, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Section 3.15 and Section 12.2. Subject to Section 12.2 and Section 3.14(e), the Special Servicer shall hire on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders a Successor Manager to manage, conserve, protect and operate such Foreclosed Property for the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such Foreclosed Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) and such that income from the operation or sale of such property does not result in receipt by the Trust of any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code with respect to such property. In connection with such management, the Successor Manager shall be entitled to the REO Management Fee solely from the Foreclosed Property Account or the Collection Account.

(b)             The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the Foreclosed Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to the Foreclosed Property a Foreclosed Property Account in (A) the name of the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.6 or (B) the name of the Foreclosure LLC.

(c)             The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject to Accepted Servicing Practices and the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with the Foreclosed Property for the benefit of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note) on such terms as are appropriate and necessary for the efficient operation or liquidation, as applicable, of the Foreclosed Property, so long as the Special Servicer deems such actions to be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer may retain an independent contractor to operate and manage the Foreclosed Property; provided, however, the retention of an independent contractor will not relieve the Special Servicer of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Foreclosed Property.

The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the Foreclosed Property Account all revenues received with respect to the Foreclosed Property, and the Special Servicer shall cause to be withdrawn therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the Foreclosed Property and for other expenses related to the preservation and protection of the Foreclosed Property, including, but not limited to:

(i)             all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of the Foreclosed Property;

(ii)            all taxes, assessments, charges or other similar items in respect of the Foreclosed Property that could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

105 

(iii)           all costs and expenses necessary to preserve the Foreclosed Property, including the payment of ground rent, if any.

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, make a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d)             On or before the last day of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the Foreclosed Property Account and deposit into the Collection Account the properly identified proceeds and collections received or collected since the preceding Remittance Date through the Business Day prior to the Remittance Date on or with respect to the Foreclosed Property (including any funds no longer needed in any reserves established as provided below), net of expenses paid therefrom and amounts reasonably expected to be needed to fund any reserves deemed necessary for the operation, preservation and protection of the Foreclosed Property, including without limitation, the creation of reasonable reserves for working capital, repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses.

(e)             The Special Servicer, in the name of the Trust, shall (subject to Section 3.14(a)) contract with any Successor Manager for the operation and management of the Foreclosed Property; provided that no such contract shall impose individual liability on the Trustee or the Trust; provided, further, that:

(i)             the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;

(ii)            any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Successor Manager (A) request that the Special Servicer pay from the Foreclosed Property Account all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such Foreclosed Property, and (B) remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Business Day immediately following receipt, for deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account;

(iii)           none of the provisions of this Section 3.14 relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Successor Manager shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its ordinary and regularly recurring duties and obligations to the Trust on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders with respect to the operation and management of such Foreclosed Property; and

(iv)           the Successor Manager shall be permitted to perform construction (including renovations) on such Foreclosed Property only if the construction was more than 10% complete at the time default on the Trust Loan became imminent.

The Special Servicer shall be entitled, and to the extent required by the REMIC Provisions, shall be required, to enter into an agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the

106 

Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. All REO Management Fees shall be Trust Fund Expenses payable from the Foreclosed Property Account or subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(xi). The Special Servicer agrees to monitor the performance of the Successor Manager and to enforce the obligations of the Successor Manager on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders. Expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection herewith shall qualify as Property Protection Advances.

Section 3.15.     Sale of Foreclosed Property. (a)  The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders, shall sell the Foreclosed Property on a servicing released basis in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, in no event later than the Rated Final Distribution Date in a manner provided under this Section 3.15 and Section 12.2(b) and subject to Section 12.2(c).

(b)             Subject to the consent or consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in Section 6.5 and the consultation rights of the Operating Advisor to the extent set forth in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid for the Foreclosed Property received from any person that is at least equal to the Repurchase Price attributable to the Foreclosed Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of any such bid, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, that the Special Servicer (or the Trustee as provided in the next sentence) determines is a fair price based on Appraisals obtained within the last nine (9) months. If the highest bidder is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine the fairness of the highest bid based upon an Appraisal (which may be an Appraisal obtained in the last nine (9) months by the Special Servicer) obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund, and the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of such Appraisal and such determination shall be binding upon all parties. The requirements of this Agreement may result in lower sales proceeds than would otherwise be the case. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative and the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the higher cash offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any person other than an Interested Person) if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note). Any Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate, the Controlling Class Representative or any affiliate of the foregoing shall be entitled to participate in, and submit a bid in connection with, any sale of Foreclosed Property, to the same extent as any other Certificateholder; provided that any such Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate and the Controlling Class Representative shall for all purposes be considered an Interested Person.

(c)             Subject to the provisions of Section 3.14, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of the Foreclosed Property, including the

107 

collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of a Foreclosed Property shall be without recourse to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust, the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust Fund) and if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Special Servicer shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price thereof accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(d)             The proceeds of any sale effected pursuant to this Section 3.15, after deduction of the expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall be deposited in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(a).

(e)             Within 30 days of the sale of a Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders and the Certificate Administrator a statement of accounting for the Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date the Foreclosed Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, (ii) the date of disposition of such Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest with respect to the Repurchase Price of the Foreclosed Property, calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may reasonably request.

(f)              The Special Servicer shall be required to deliver to the Servicer such reports and other information as the Servicer needs in its sole discretion to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 3.16.     Sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Trust Loan. (a) (i)  Promptly upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) Appraisals. The Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to promptly notify in writing the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, and the Companion Loan Holders, the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in effect) and the Trustee of the occurrence of such Special Servicing Loan Event. Upon delivery by the Servicer of the notice described in the preceding sentence, and subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative and the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer may offer to sell to any Person, the Mortgage Loan or may offer to purchase the Mortgage Loan, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note) on a net present value basis. The Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Consultation Termination Event is in effect) not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Mortgage Loan, in which case the Special Servicer shall be required to accept the highest offer received from any Person (other than any Interested Person) for the Mortgage Loan in an amount at least equal to the Par Price or, at its option, if it has received

108 

no offer at least equal to the Par Price therefor, the Special Servicer may purchase the Mortgage Loan at the Par Price. The Companion Loan is to be sold together with the Trust Loan, subject to this Section 3.16 and any additional requirements set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement.

(ii)             In the absence of any offer at least equal to the Par Price (or purchase by the Special Servicer for the Repurchase Price), the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received that is determined by the Special Servicer (or the Trustee as provided in the next sentence) to be a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. If the highest bidder is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine the fairness of the highest bid based upon an Appraisal (which may be an Appraisal obtained in the last nine (9) months by the Special Servicer) obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund, and the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of such Appraisal and such determination shall be binding upon all parties. All reasonable costs and fees of the Trustee in making such determination will be reimbursable to it first, by the Servicer as an Advance, subject to the Servicer’s determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, and then as an expense of the Trust. The Trustee, in its individual capacity, may not make an offer for or purchase the Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the Mortgage Loan that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph will be covered by, and will be paid in advance by the Interested Person as a condition to the Trustee’s determination; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. Any Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate, the Controlling Class Representative or any Affiliate of the foregoing will be entitled to participate in, and submit a bid in connection with, any sale of the Mortgage Loan to the same extent as any other Certificateholder; provided that any such Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate and the Controlling Class Representative shall for all purposes be considered an Interested Person.

(iii)             The Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Applicable Servicing Practices, that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of the Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with Applicable Servicing Practices, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of the Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note), provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate

109 

of any of them. So long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the foregoing rights of the Special Servicer shall be subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative. The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to sell the Mortgage Loan prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.

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

(b)             The right of the Special Servicer to purchase or sell the Mortgage Loan after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event shall terminate, and shall not be exercisable as set forth in clause (a) above (or if exercised but the purchase of the Mortgage Loan has not yet occurred, the Special Servicer’s right shall terminate and such exercise shall be of no further force or effect) if the Mortgage Loan is no longer delinquent as a result of any of the following: (i) the Special Servicing Loan Event has ceased pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Defaulted Mortgage Loan has become subject to a fully executed agreement reflecting the terms of the workout arrangement or (iii) the Mortgage Loan has otherwise been resolved (including by a full or discounted pay-off).

(c)             Any sale of the Mortgage Loan shall be for cash only, and shall be in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement.

(d)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special Servicer shall not sell the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(a) without the written consent of the Companion Loan Holders (provided that such consent is not required from a Companion Loan Holder if such Companion Loan Holder is the Loan Borrower or an Affiliate of the Loan Borrower) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the Companion Loan Holders: (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 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 appraisals for the Property, and any documents in the Loan File reasonably requested by such Companion Loan 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) 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 Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided that such Companion Loan Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Any Companion Loan Holder will be permitted to make offers to purchase, and either such party is permitted to be the purchaser at any sale of, the Mortgage Loan.

Section 3.17.     Servicing Compensation.(a) The Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to the Mortgage Loan (including any Foreclosed Property) payable monthly from the Collection Account or otherwise in accordance with and subject to Section 3.4(c). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain as compensation any late payment charges

110 

and certain other customary charges and fees to the extent described below, as well as reimbursement for all other costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder, in each case, to the extent actually received from the Loan Borrower and permitted by, or not prohibited by, and to be allocated to such amounts by the terms of the Loan Documents and this Agreement, other than: (i) fees of any sub-servicer and the expenses of any sub-servicer that would not be reimbursable to Servicer if such expenses were incurred by the Servicer; (ii) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (iii) overhead expenses of the Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Servicer’s accounting system or otherwise to the Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Servicer associated with employees of the Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Servicer hereunder; and (iv) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in performing its obligations hereunder (the “Servicer Customary Expenses”). So long as no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any late payment fees and Default Interest (including any late payment fees and Default Interest collected after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event but accrued prior to such Special Servicing Loan Event) (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), assumption fees, assumption application fees, substitution fees, release fees, Modification Fees, defeasance fees, consent fees, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, charges for beneficiary statements or demands and other processing fees and similar fees and expenses to the extent, with respect to any such amounts, collected and allocated to such amounts as permitted by (or not otherwise prohibited by) the terms of the Loan Documents and this Agreement (and with respect to any period prior to the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event, assumption fees, substitution fees, release fees, Modification Fees and consent fees, to the extent set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 3.17); provided, however, that the Servicer or Special Servicer shall not be entitled to apply or retain any Default Interest or any late payment charges, with respect to the Mortgage Loan, with respect to which a default thereunder or Loan Event of Default is continuing unless and until such default or Loan Event of Default has been cured and all delinquent amounts (including any Default Interest) due with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been paid in full and all interest on Advances has been paid in full. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation release fees and any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account and any Reserve Account (to the extent not payable to the Loan Borrower).

If a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Special Servicing Fee (including any Foreclosed Property) with respect to the Mortgage Loan for so long as such Special Servicing Loan Event continues as well as reimbursement for all other costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder other than: (i) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (ii) overhead expenses of the Special Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Special Servicer’s accounting system or otherwise to the Special Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Special Servicer associated with employees of the Special Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder; and (iii) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Special Servicer in performing its obligations hereunder (the “Special Servicer Customary Expenses”). If

111 

a Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated following resolution of such Special Servicing Loan Event by a written agreement with the Loan Borrower negotiated by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Work-out Fee. If at any time the Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to collect the amount of any Special Servicing Fee, Liquidation Fee and/or Work-out Fee from the Loan Borrower pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Loan Agreement, including exercising all remedies available under the Loan Agreement that would be in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, specifically taking into account the costs or likelihood of success of any such collection efforts and the Realized Loss that would be incurred by Certificateholders in connection therewith as opposed to the Realized Loss that would be incurred as a result of not collecting such amounts from the Loan Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Work-out Fee or a Liquidation Fee, but not both.

If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns after such written agreement is entered into and before or after the Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Work-out Fees on all payments of principal and interest made on the Mortgage Loan following such written agreement (negotiated by such Special Servicer prior to its termination or resignation) for so long as another Special Servicing Loan Event does not occur and the successor Special Servicer shall have no rights with respect to such Work-out Fee. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to any Liquidated Property or the liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or any portion thereof or the Notes (whether through judicial foreclosure, sale, discounted payoff or other liquidation) as to which the Special Servicer receives Liquidation Proceeds. However, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee in connection with (i) a repurchase of the Trust Loan by the Sponsor pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement, (ii) a sale of the Mortgage Loan or any portion thereof by the Special Servicer to an Interested Person in accordance with Section 3.16 or (iii) a purchase of the Trust Loan or a Foreclosed Property by the Controlling Class Representative or any Affiliate thereof, if such purchase occurs within 90 days after the date on which the Special Servicer first delivers to the Controlling Class Representative notice of a Loan Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of Section 13.2 of the Loan Agreement requires the Loan Borrower to be responsible for the payment of Liquidation Fees and the Special Servicer will be entitled to, and may collect, any Liquidation Fees payable to it from the Loan Borrower pursuant to such Section 13.2 of the Loan Agreement as would be calculated hereunder. The Liquidation Fee with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan or Foreclosed Property shall be reduced by the amount of any Modification Fees paid by or on behalf of the Loan Borrower with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan or Foreclosed Property and received by the Special Servicer as compensation, but only to the extent those fees have not previously been deducted from a Work-out Fee or Liquidation Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Mortgage Loan becomes subject to a Special Servicing Event solely due to an event described in clause (iii) of the definition of “Special Servicing Loan Event” and the related Liquidation Proceeds are received within 90 days following the Stated Maturity Date as a result of the Mortgage Loan being refinanced or receipt of other final payment (other than a discounted pay-off), the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to deduct a Liquidation Fee from amounts due to the Certificateholders but may collect and retain appropriate fees from the Loan Borrower in connection with such liquidation.

112 

The Special Servicing Fee and any Liquidation Fee payable from Liquidation Proceeds (and not the Loan Borrower) shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.4(c). The Special Servicer during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any late payment fees (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), Default Interest (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), assumption fees, assumption application fees, Modification Fees, defeasance fees, consent fees and similar fees and expenses and any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account (and with respect to any period prior to the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event, assumption fees, substitution fees, release fees, Modification Fees and consent fees, to the extent set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 3.17(a)).

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for an expense incurred under this Agreement or in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder unless (i) the amount of such payment to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is reimbursed to the Trust Fund by the Loan Borrower (to the extent the Loan Borrower is required to do so under the Loan Agreement); (ii) failure of the Loan Borrower to reimburse for such payment constitutes a Loan Event of Default; (iii) such expense is an “unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) or is otherwise an unanticipated expense (it being understood that the Servicer Customary Expenses and the Special Servicer Customary Expenses are not unanticipated); or (iv) such reimbursement is expressly provided for herein or such expense is expressly described herein as an expense of the Trust Fund or as an Advance.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Servicing Fee (or the Special Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Special Servicing Fee) or other servicing compensation provided for herein shall be made, and any such attempted transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall be void, unless such transfer is made to a successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with the assumption by such successor of the duties hereunder pursuant to Section 7.2.

Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC 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), to any QIB or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Benefit 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 DD-1 hereto, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit DD-2 hereto. None of the Depositor, the Trustee 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

113 

permit the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right without registration or qualification. Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC 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 Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC 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 Initial Purchaser, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer 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. Following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right or the termination of Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as the Servicer, the Person then acting as the Servicer, shall pay, out of each amount paid to such Servicer as Servicing Fees, the related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fees to such Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to such 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 Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator 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 Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer on the Determination Date, and the Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received, or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, without charge on the Remittance 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 report regarding Disclosable Special Servicing Fees shall be required to be delivered if there are no Disclosable Special Servicing Fees for the related Collection Period.

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 and appraisal fees or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, the Loan Borrower, the Property Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of the Mortgage Loan and any purchaser of the Mortgage Loan or the Foreclosed Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, the management or disposition of the Foreclosed Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.17; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.

Default Interest and late payment charges remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Servicer, if and to the extent accrued on the Mortgage Loan for so long as no Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing, and to the Special Servicer, if and to the extent accrued on the Mortgage Loan during a Special Servicing Loan Event. Any Default Interest or late payment charges paid or payable as additional servicing compensation to the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be distributed between the Servicer and the Special Servicer, on a pro rata basis, based on the Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s respective entitlements to such compensation described in the previous sentence.

(c)             The Servicer shall produce the reports described in this Section 3.18 solely from information provided to the Servicer by the Loan Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement (without modification, interpretation or analysis) or by the Special Servicer, Sponsor or Depositor pursuant to this Agreement. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for the completeness or accuracy of such information (except that the Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to correct patent errors).

The Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Property as applicable and as soon as practicable following the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event and annually for so long as a Specially Serviced Loan Event is continuing. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall further inspect, or cause to be inspected, the Property whenever it receives information that the Property has been materially damaged, left vacant, or abandoned, or if waste is being committed thereto. All such inspections shall be performed in such manner as shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of the annual inspections referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be an expense of the Servicer; the cost of all additional inspections referred to in this paragraph shall be a Trust Fund Expense and if paid by the Servicer shall constitute a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance.

The Certificate Administrator shall post such report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b).

117 

Section 3.21.     Advances. (a)  In the event that a Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) (other than the Balloon Payment) or any portion of a Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) (other than any Balloon Payment) on the Trust Loan has not been received by the close of the Business Day immediately prior to the Remittance Date, the Servicer, subject to its determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, shall make an advance on such Remittance Date to the Distribution Account, in an amount equal to the Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable), or any such portion of the Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) on the Trust Loan that was delinquent as of the close of the Business Day immediately prior to such Remittance Date, in each case, net of the Servicing Fee (which will not be paid to the Servicer until the funds in the Collection Account are available for payment of such fee); provided that neither the Servicer nor any other party shall be entitled to interest accrued on the amount of any Monthly Payment Advance with respect to any the Trust Loan if the related Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) in respect of the Trust Loan is received by the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by 2:00 p.m., New York time, on such Remittance Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the amount of interest on the Trust Loan is reduced as a result of any modification to the Trust Loan, any future Monthly Payment Advance made with respect to such modified Trust Loan shall be in such amounts as may be required as a result of such reduction. The Servicer shall maintain a record of each Monthly Payment Advance it has made pursuant to this Section 3.21(a) on the Trust Loan and the amount allocated to the related Trust Note on a Note-by-Note Basis and shall notify the Certificate Administrator thereof in the appropriate CREFC^® Reports in order to permit allocation thereof pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5. In the event that the Servicer does not remit any amounts required to be remitted to the Certificate Administrator on each Remittance Date (including any amounts required to be remitted pursuant to Section 3.5 and any required Monthly Payment Advance) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator interest on such amounts at the federal funds rate for the period from and including the Remittance Date to but excluding the Distribution Date or, if earlier, the actual remittance date. The Servicer and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.21(c), the Trustee, shall notify each of the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee under any Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the amount of any Monthly Payment Advance on the Trust Loan it has made within two (2) Business Days of making any such Monthly Payment Advance.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Monthly Payment Advances (other than any Nonrecoverable Advance) with respect to the Trust Loan shall be reimbursed solely out of amounts allocated to the Trust Loan pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement and will not be reimbursed out of amounts allocated to the Companion Loan, and Companion Loan Advances (other than any Nonrecoverable Advance) with respect to the Companion Loan shall be reimbursed solely out of amounts allocated to such Companion Loan pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement and will not be reimbursed out of amounts allocated to the Trust Loan or the other Companion Loan.

At any time that an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, the amount that would otherwise be required to be advanced by the Servicer in respect of delinquent payments of principal and interest on the Trust Loan shall be reduced by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan minus the

118 

applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount and the denominator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan.

(b)             Subject to Section 3.21(e), the Servicer shall advance for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, to the extent it determines that such amount is not a Nonrecoverable Advance, all customary and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its servicing obligations, including, but not limited, to the costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) the preservation, restoration, operation and protection of the Property which, in the Servicer’s sole discretion, exercised in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, are necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust Fund’s interest in the Property, (ii) the payment of (A) real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges that may be levied or assessed against the Loan Borrower or any of its affiliates or the Property or revenues from the Property or which become liens on such Property, (B) insurance premiums, (C) ground lease rents or other amounts required to be paid under any ground leases and (D) the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the extent not paid by the Loan Borrower that are incurred in connection with assumption of the Mortgage Loan or a release of the Property from the lien of the Mortgage, (iii) any enforcement or judicial proceedings, including foreclosures and including, but not limited to, court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs for third-party experts, including appraisers and environmental and engineering consultants, and (iv) the management, operation and liquidation of the Property if such Property is acquired by the Special Servicer or its affiliate in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust (collectively, “Property Protection Advances”). During the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall give the Servicer and the Trustee not less than five (5) Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Servicer is requested to make any Property Protection Advance with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Foreclosed Property; provided, however, that only three (3) Business Days’ written notice shall be required in respect of Property Protection Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis (which may include, without limitation, Property Protection Advances required to make tax or insurance payments). In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer with such information in its possession as the Servicer may reasonably request to enable the Servicer to determine whether a requested Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Servicer make an Advance, the Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.21(c), the Trustee shall notify each of the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee under any Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the amount of any Property Protection Advance it has made within two (2) Business Days of making any such Property Protection Advance.

(c)             To the extent the Servicer fails to make an Advance that it is required to make under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be required to make such Advance pursuant to Section 7.6. It is understood that the obligation of the Servicer and the Trustee (pursuant to Section 7.6) to make such Advances is mandatory, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, and shall continue to apply after any modification or amendment of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.22 hereof, beyond the Stated Maturity Date of the Mortgage Loan if a payment default shall have occurred on such date and through any court appointed stay period or

119 

similar payment delay resulting from any insolvency of the Loan Borrower or related bankruptcy, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the requirement of recoverability, and shall continue, subject to the requirement of recoverability, until the earlier of (i) the payment in full of the Trust Loan and (ii) the date on which the Property becomes liquidated.

(d)             Interest on each Advance made by the Servicer or the Trustee shall accrue for each day that such Advance is outstanding at a rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate (the “Advance Rate”) for each such day (or the most recent day on which the Prime Rate was reported, if not reported on such day) on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed in a month. Interest on the Advances shall compound annually.

(e)             Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be obligated to make an Advance only to the extent that the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has determined that such Advance, together with any previous unreimbursed Advances and interest on all those Advances at the Advance Rate, would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance if made. The Trustee and the Servicer, in that order, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any such Advances from the Collection Account and shall obtain such reimbursement in accordance with Section 3.4(c). If the context requires, each reference to the reimbursement or payment of an Advance shall be deemed to include, whether or not specifically referred to, payment or reimbursement of interest thereon at the Advance Rate through the date of payment or reimbursement.

(f)              The determination by the Servicer or the Trustee that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Certificate Administrator, the Companion Loan Holders, the Operating Advisor, the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Servicer and the Trustee (if such determination is made by the Servicer), detailing the reasons for such determination with supporting documents attached. Such Officer’s Certificate shall be made available to any Privileged Person by the Certificate Administrator posting such Officer’s Certificate to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b). The costs of any appraisals, reports or surveys and other information requested by the Servicer or the Trustee establishing an Advance as a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be treated as Trust Fund Expenses, payable from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c), and shall constitute a Property Protection Advance, if paid by the Servicer or the Trustee from its funds. The Servicer’s determination of nonrecoverability in accordance with the above provisions shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively thereupon. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall make such determination in its reasonable business judgment.

(g)             The Servicer and the Trustee are not obligated to advance or pay (i) the delinquent scheduled payments with respect to the Companion Loan, (ii) the Balloon Payment with respect to the Trust Loan or the Companion Loan (but are required to advance the Assumed Monthly Payment with respect to the Trust Loan), (iii) any Default Interest, (iv) amounts required to cure any damages resulting from Uninsured Causes (except as required pursuant to Section 3.12(c)), any failure of the Property to comply with any applicable law, including any environmental law, or (except in connection with the foreclosure or other acquisition of the

120 

Property in accordance with Section 3.12 upon the occurrence of a Loan Event of Default) to investigate, test, monitor, contain, clean up, or remedy an environmental condition present at the Property, (v) any losses arising with respect to defects in the title to the Property, (vi) any costs of capital improvements to the Property other than those necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust Fund’s and Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder’s interest in the Property or (vii) any Prepayment Charges.

(h)               The Servicer or the Trustee may consider (among other things) the following when making a non-recoverability determination: (a) the obligations of the Loan Borrower under the terms of the Mortgage Loan as it may have been modified, (b) the Property in its “as is” or then-current condition and occupancy, (c) future expenses, (d) the subordinate nature of Note B to Note A-1 and the Companion Loan Notes and recoveries of Monthly Payment Advances thereon and (e) the timing of recoveries, in the case of clauses (b) through (e), each as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices in the case of the Servicer or in its commercially reasonable 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 the Property.

Section 3.22.      Modifications of Loan Documents. (a)  (i) The Servicer (if no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred or is continuing) or the Special Servicer (if a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs and is continuing), subject to (x) the consent of the Controlling Class Representative prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event with respect to Major Decisions, (y) the consultation and review rights of 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 with respect to Major Decisions and (z) the consultation and review rights of the Operating Advisor provided for in this Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event with respect to Major Decisions, may modify, waive or amend any term of the Mortgage Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (a) is consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices and (b) does not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may obtain and be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel in connection with such determination) or cause any REMIC related to any Other Securitization Trust securities to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code. In connection with (i) the release of the Property or a portion of the Property from the lien of the Mortgage or (ii) the taking of the Property or portion of the Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the Loan Documents require the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining portion of such Property, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the Trust Loan, then, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any.

(b)                All modifications, waivers or amendments of the Mortgage Loan shall be in writing and shall be effected in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Companion Loan Holders, the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) and the Depositor, in writing, of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of the Mortgage Loan and the date thereof, and

121 

shall deliver to the Custodian an original and, if applicable, recorded counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment within ten (10) Business Days following the execution and, if applicable, recordation thereof with a copy to the Operating Advisor and, so long as no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in effect, the Controlling Class Representative. In the event the Servicer or Special Servicer modifies the interest rate applicable to any Note, any aggregate adverse economic effect of the modification shall be applied to the Certificates, in reverse order of seniority. If the Mortgage Loan is modified, the Note Rate on each Note shall not change for purposes of distributions on the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall modify the Note Rates unless the Trust Loan is in default or default is reasonably foreseeable.

(c)               Subject to Section 3.24, any modification of the Loan Documents that requires a Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to the Loan Documents, or any modification that would eliminate, modify or alter the requirement of obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation in the Loan Documents, shall not be made without the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, first receipt of such Rating Agency Confirmation. Such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the Loan Borrower’s expense in accordance with the Loan Agreement or, if not so provided in the Loan Agreement or if the Loan Borrower does not pay, at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(d)               Promptly after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator the name of the current Controlling Class Representative. Upon receipt of the name of such current Controlling Class Representative from the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for providing the name of the current Controlling Class Representative only to the extent the Controlling Class Representative has identified itself as such to the Certificate Administrator; provided that if the Controlling Class Representative is determined pursuant to the proviso in the definition of “Controlling Class Representative”, then (i) the Certificate Administrator shall determine which Class is the Controlling Class and (ii) the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall request from the Depository at the expense of the Trust, the list of Beneficial Holders of the Controlling Class, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide (on a reasonably prompt basis) such list to the Special Servicer and the Servicer at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(e)               Subject to Section 3.24, prior to implementing any of the following actions, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action:

(i)                approval of the termination or replacement of the Property Manager, to the extent the Loan Lender’s approval is required by the Loan Documents; and

(ii)               any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (xi) or (xiii) of the definition of “Major Decision”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer and Special Servicer may, subject to certain conditions (but without any Rating Agency Confirmation) grant a Loan Borrower’s request

122 

for consent to subject the Property to an easement, right-of-way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another similar purpose and may consent to subordination of the Mortgage Loan to such easement, right-of-way or similar agreement.

(f)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit the substitution of the Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of the Loan Agreement unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral consisting of government securities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the Loan Documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments required under the terms of the Mortgage Loan 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 the Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the Loan Documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the Loan Borrower) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted property; provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents, the Loan Borrower shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents, the Loan Borrower shall establish a single purpose entity to act as a successor mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agency, (v) to the extent permissible under the Loan Documents, the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the Loan Borrower 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 Loan Documents, the Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the Loan Borrower, Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency.

(g)                The Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for the Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan in advance of its Payment Date, and not as a prepayment of the Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).

Section 3.23.      Servicer and Special Servicer May Own Certificates. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and any agent thereof in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Servicer, the Special Servicer or such agent except as otherwise provided herein subject to the restrictions on voting set forth in the definition of Certificateholder.

Section 3.24.      Rating Agency Confirmations.  (a)  Notwithstanding the terms of any Loan Documents, the Co-Lender Agreement or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Loan Documents or this Agreement requires a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) attempting to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency has made a request to the 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, the Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that the Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for a Rating Agency

Confirmation, then such Requesting Party shall be required (without providing notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider) to (i) confirm that the Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again and (ii) if there is no response to the Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such confirmation or such second request (after seeking to confirm that the Rating Agency received such second Rating Agency Confirmation request), as applicable, then (x) with respect to any condition in the Loan Documents requiring a Rating Agency Confirmation or any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is a Loan Borrower, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) will be required to determine, in accordance with its duties under this Agreement and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether or not such action would be in the best interest of Certificateholders, and if the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is a Loan Borrower, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that such action would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders, then the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation will not apply (provided, however, that with respect to the release of any collateral relating to the Trust Loan, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement that the Servicer or Special Servicer would have been permitted to waive pursuant to this Agreement will not apply without any such determination by the Requesting Party (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) (it being understood that the Requesting Party (or the Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as applicable) will in any event review the conditions required under the Loan Documents with respect to such release and confirm to its satisfaction in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices that such conditions (other than the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation) have been satisfied)), and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition will not apply if such Servicer or Special Servicer is a Qualified Servicer. For all other matters or actions (a) not specifically discussed above in clauses (x) or (y) or (b) that are not the subject of a Rating Agency Declination, the applicable Requesting Party shall be required to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency.

(b)               Any Rating Agency Confirmation requests made by the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing (an email shall be sufficient as a writing), which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, reasonably deems necessary for the Rating Agency (including those for Companion Loan Securities) to process such request. Subject to Section 10.17, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, shall furnish such written Rating Agency Confirmation request to the 17g-5 Information Provider in electronic format, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 10.16.

(c)               Promptly following the Special Servicer’s determination to take any action described in Section 3.24(a) without receiving Rating Agency Confirmation, the Special Servicer shall, subject to Section 10.17, provide written notice of such determination 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 10.16.

124 

(d)               Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of the Certificates, acknowledges and agrees to the foregoing with respect to Rating Agency Confirmations.

Section 3.25.      Miscellaneous Provisions. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of the related Loan Documents, the other provisions of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, with respect to the Companion Loan as to which there exists Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan or a Foreclosed Property (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 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 Companion Loan Securities will be subject to, will be permitted to be waived by the Servicer and the Special Servicer on, and will be deemed not to apply on, the same terms and conditions applicable to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations, as set forth in this Agreement; provided that the 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 counterpart (i.e., the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable), the counterpart providing or posting Rule 17g-5 information, or such other party or parties (as are agreed to by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, 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 Loan Borrower, 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 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 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.

(b)               [Reserved].

(c)               So long as no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall provide notice to the Controlling Class Representative of any proposed sale of the Property by the Loan Borrower, and shall provide the Controlling Class Representative upon request copies of any offering documentation related thereto received pursuant to the Loan Documents.

Section 3.26.      Companion Loan Intercreditor Matters.  (a)  If, pursuant to Section 2.9, or Section 3.16 of this Agreement, the Trust Loan is, in its entirety, purchased or repurchased from the Trust, the subsequent holder thereof shall be bound by the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the holder of the Notes related to the Trust Loan under the Co-Lender Agreement. All portions of the Mortgage File and (to the extent provided under the Loan Purchase Agreement) other documents pertaining to the Trust Loan

125 

shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the purchaser of the Trust Loan in its capacity as the holder of the Notes related to the Trust Loan (as a result of such purchase, repurchase or substitution) and (except for the actual Notes) on behalf of the holders of the Notes that represent the Companion Loan. Thereafter, such Mortgage File shall be held by the holder of the Trust Loan or a custodian appointed thereby for the benefit thereof, on behalf of itself and the Companion Loan Holders as their interests appear under the 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 Mortgage Loan.

(b)               Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices to each Companion Loan Holder to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement.

(c)               [Reserved].

(d)               At any time after the Companion Loan has become part of an Other Securitization Trust and provided that the applicable parties hereto have received written notice (which may be by email) thereof including contact information for the master servicer and special servicer with respect to such Other Securitization Trust, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the related Companion Loan Holders pursuant to this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement shall be delivered to the master servicer and special servicer with respect to such Other Securitization Trust (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to such master servicer and special servicer, the party hereto that is obligated under this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement to deliver such notices, reports, information or other deliverables shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Co-Lender Agreement.

Section 3.27.      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 3.10(h), this Section 3.27 and Section 6.5) and the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to Major Decisions relating to the Mortgage Loan when it is not a Specially Serviced Loan (as provided in Section 6.5) and with respect to which a Major Decision Reporting Package has been delivered to the Operating Advisor, (ii) all reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (iii) each Asset Status Report (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer.

(b)               Subject to the Privileged Information Exception, the Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” received from the Special Servicer or Controlling Class Representative in connection with the Controlling Class Representative’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 3.27(f) and subject to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the

126 

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.

With respect to the determination of whether a Control Termination Event, Operating Advisor Consultation Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, or has terminated, the Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor are each entitled to rely solely on its receipt from the Certificate Administrator of notice thereof or any notice posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to this Agreement, and, with respect to any obligations of the Operating Advisor, Servicer or Special Servicer that are performed only after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, Operating Advisor Consultation Event and/or Consultation Termination Event, the Operating Advisor, Servicer or Special Servicer 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, Operating Advisor Consultation Event or Consultation Termination Event, as applicable. The Operating Advisor may at any time request from the Certificate Administrator confirmation of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event occurred during the previous year and upon such request, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver such confirmation to the Operating Advisor within fifteen (15) days of such request.

(c)               (i)  Based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance, attestation report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), Final Asset Status Report and other reports required to be delivered by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall (if, at any time during the prior calendar year, (i) the Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan or (ii) there existed an Operating Advisor Consultation Event during which the Operating Advisor had consultation obligations hereunder with respect to a Major Decision) prepare an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit S (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 whether the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer is operating in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices with respect to its performance of its duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year and identifying which, if any, standards the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the Special Servicer has failed to comply; provided, however, that in the event the Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to such 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. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.27(d) hereof, each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations from (i) Accepted Servicing Practices and (ii) the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of the Mortgage Loan when it is a

127 

Specially Serviced Loan or Foreclosed Property and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to a Privileged Information Exception). In preparing such Operating Advisor Annual Report, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to (i) report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the Special Servicer’s obligation under this Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial and (ii) provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion. 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 8.14(b)), the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 10.17) and the Depositor; 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. 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.

(d)               (i)  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 1.3(d) used in the Special Servicer’s determination of the course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of the Mortgage Loan when it is a 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 review for accuracy 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 3.27(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 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

128 

disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Special Servicer and provide any information reasonably requested by such Special Servicer necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is in the Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the 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).

(e)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall have no specific involvement with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, workouts, modifications, consents, waivers, lockbox management, insurance policies, borrower substitutions, lease changes, additional borrower debt, defeasances, property management changes, releases from escrow, assumptions and 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 Controlling Class Representative, disclose such information to any other Person (including any Certificateholders 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 Accepted Servicing Practices (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 4.5.

(h)               As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee on each Distribution Date with respect to the Trust Loan. As to the Trust 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 same principal amount, in

129 

the same manner and for the same period respecting which any related interest payment on the Trust Loan is computed.

The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.4. 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 Asset Status Report or 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 3.4 of this Agreement, but only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the Loan Borrower. When the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to an Asset Status Report or Major Decision under this Agreement, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use efforts to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the Loan Borrower in connection with such Asset Status Report or Major Decision that are consistent with the efforts that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, would use to collect the Loan Borrower-paid fees owed to it in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Loan Documents. The 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 Loan Borrower if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Servicer or such 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 Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.

(i)                 Upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Non-Reduced 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 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 Operating Advisor of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b), and concurrently by mail at their addresses appearing on the Certificate Register. Upon the written direction of holders of more than 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates that exercise their right to vote (provided that holders of at least 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates exercise their right to vote), the Trustee 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.

130 

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of Certificates may access notices under the “U.S. Risk Retention Special Notices” tab of a request of a vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of Certificates may register to receive email notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Certificate Administrator will be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders 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 Certificateholders representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Classes of Certificates) the Trustee 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. The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Operating Advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. If the Trustee is unable to find a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor within 30 days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor 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 shall, as soon as possible, give written notice of the termination and appointment to the Special Servicer, the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Controlling Class Representative (only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Certificateholders and the 17g-5 Information Provider, who shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 10.16.

(k)               The Holders of Certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights 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 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 Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust.

(l)                 [Reserved].

(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 Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Controlling Class Representative, 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 the Rating Agency. No such resignation by the Operating

131 

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. 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 3.27.

(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 3.27(h) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification provided hereunder.

(o)               The parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed, that (i) subject to Section 6.3, 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.

(p)               The Operating Advisor shall not make any investment in any Class of Certificates.

(q)               The Operating Advisor may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors to the extent such agents or subcontractors satisfy clause (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 3.27. However, the Operating Advisor shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any actions required to be performed by it hereunder without diminution of any such 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 hereunder.

(r)                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 Loan Borrower 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 for this transaction; provided, however, the Operating Advisor may consider such experience or knowledge as pertinent information for discussion with the Special Servicer during its periodic meetings.      

132 

Section 3.28           Credit Risk Retention.  (a)  The Third Party Purchaser, prior to its acquisition of Certificates that constitute the Required Third Party Purchaser Retention Amount, will be required to enter into an agreement with the Retaining Sponsor (the “Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreement”). Such agreement shall be deemed to refer initially to that certain TPP Risk Retention Agreement, dated as of February 5, 2020, by and among the Depositor, the Retaining Sponsor and the Third Party Purchaser.

(b)               None of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (other than as set forth in clause (c) below) or the Custodian shall be obligated to monitor, supervise or enforce the performance of any party under the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreement.

(c)               The Operating Advisor, on behalf of the Retaining Sponsor, shall provide notice to the Third Party Purchaser to prompt the timely delivery of the quarterly certification required to be provided by the Third Party Purchaser pursuant to Section 3(g) of the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreement and notify the Retaining Sponsor of any noncompliance by the Third Party Purchaser with such delivery requirement of which the Operating Advisor has actual knowledge. In connection with the foregoing, the Depositor shall cause the Retaining Sponsor to provide the Operating Advisor via email on the Closing Date with a fully executed version of the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreement referred to in Section 3.28(a) above.

sixteenth, when the Certificate Balances of all Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates have been reduced to zero and after payment in full of all unpaid expenses of the Trust, to the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest), any remaining amounts.

In no event will any Class of Certificates receive distributions in reduction of its Certificate Balance that in the aggregate exceed the original Certificate Balance of such Class.

134 

(b)               On each Distribution Date, each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests shall be deemed to receive (A) distributions in respect of principal in an amount equal to the amount of principal actually distributable to its respective Related Certificates as provided in Section 4.1(a), and (B) distributions with respect of reimbursement of Realized Losses in an amount equal to the reimbursement of Realized Losses actually distributable to its respective Related Certificates as provided in Section 4.1(g). On each Distribution Date, each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the sum of the Interest Distribution Amount and Interest Shortfall in respect of its Related Certificates and, in the case of the Class LA Uncertificated Interest, the Interest Distribution Amount and Interest Shortfall in respect of the Class X Certificates (in each case computed based on an interest rate equal to the Class X Strip Rate for the related Regular 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 4.1(a). 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.

Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date after both the distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and any Prepayment Charge distributed pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest, but only to the extent of the amount remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, if any).

Distributions to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest) from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest) and to other Certificateholders from the Upper-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date shall be made by the Certificate Administrator (after withdrawing any amounts deposited in the Distribution Account in error to the extent funds are available for such purpose) to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 9.1 in respect of the final distribution), by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor; provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date.

(c)               All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.1(a) on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date 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 therefor provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like

135 

manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

(d)               The Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as reasonably possible after notice thereof by the Servicer to the Certificate Administrator that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made, 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 shall 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 Certificate from and after the Certificate Interest Accrual Period related to such Distribution Date.

(e)               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 4.1 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 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. All such amounts shall be held by the Certificate Administrator in trust in accordance herewith until the expiration of a two-year period following such second notice, notwithstanding any termination of the Trust Fund. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall hold all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof for the benefit of such Holders, subject to Applicable Law, 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, at which time such amounts shall be distributed, subject to applicable law, to the Depositor. 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 4.1(e). Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator will remain uninvested. In the event the Certificate Administrator is permitted or required to invest any amounts in Permitted Investments under this Agreement in the event of its assumption of the duties of, or becoming the successor to, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it shall invest such amounts in Permitted Investments under clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Investments.

136 

(f)                Subject to the following sentence, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the calculations with respect to distributions from the Trust so long as the Trust Fund has not been terminated in accordance with this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall have no duty to recompile, recalculate or verify the accuracy of information provided to it by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.18(a) and, in the absence of manifest error in such information, may conclusively rely upon it.

(g)               On each Distribution Date, Realized Losses with respect to the Trust Loan shall be allocated to and applied as a reduction of the Certificate Balance of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates in the following order:

first, to the Class HRR Certificates;

second, to the Class D Certificates;

third, to the Class C Certificates;

fourth, to the Class B Certificates; and

fifth, to the Class A Certificates.

in each case, until the Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

The Notional Amount of the Class X Certificates shall be reduced by the amount of Realized Losses allocated to the Class A Certificates.

Section 4.2.          Withholding Tax.  (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders or payees that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required for any such withholding and each Certificateholder or payee is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such Certificate (or beneficial ownership interest in such Certificate) to provide all information required by the Certificate Administrator. In the event the Certificate Administrator withholds any amount from interest payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been entirely distributed to such Certificateholder or payee, and the Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder or payee through a report.

Section 4.3.          Allocation and Distribution of Prepayment Charges. On any Distribution Date, Prepayment Charges, if any, collected in respect of the Trust Loan during the related Collection Period shall be distributed to the Holders of the Sequential Pay Certificates and the Class X Certificates, in the following manner: (A) pro rata, (i) the group (“YM Group A”) of Class A and Class X Certificates, and (ii) the group (“YM Group B” and, collectively with YM Group A, the “YM Groups”) of Class B, Class C, Class D and Class HRR Certificates, based upon the aggregate amount of principal distributed to the Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates in each YM Group on such Distribution Date; (B) as among the Classes of Certificates in YM Group A, in the following manner: (x) on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective entitlements

137 

in those Prepayment Charges, to each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates in YM Group A in an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction whose numerator is the amount of principal distributed to such Class on such Distribution Date and whose denominator is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Sequential Pay Certificates in YM Group A representing principal payments in respect of the Trust Loan on such Distribution Date, (ii) the Base Interest Fraction for the related principal prepayment and such Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, and (iii) the aggregate amount of Prepayment Charges collected in respect of the Trust Loan during the related Collection Period and allocated to YM Group A, and (y) the portion of such Prepayment Charges allocated to YM Group A remaining after such distributions to the applicable class(es) of Sequential Pay Certificates in YM Group A, to the Class X Certificates; and (C) as among the Classes of Certificates in YM Group B, on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective entitlements in those Prepayment Charges, to each Class of Certificates in YM Group B in an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction whose numerator is the amount of principal distributed to such Class on such Distribution Date and whose denominator is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Class of Certificates in YM Group B representing principal payments in respect of the Trust Loan on such Distribution Date, and (ii) the aggregate amount of Prepayment Charges collected during the related Collection Period and allocated to YM Group B.

No Prepayment Charges will be distributed to holders of the Class R Certificates.

On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall apply amounts related to Prepayment Charges then on deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and received during or prior to the related Collection Period to the Class LA Uncertificated Interest pursuant to this Section 4.3.

Section 4.4.          Statements to Certificateholders.  (a)  On each Distribution Date, based in part on information provided by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare and make available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b) to any Privileged Person and any Borrower Related Party that certifies to the Certificate Administrator in the form of Exhibit BB-2 that it is a Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner of a Certificate, a statement, based in part upon the information provided to it by the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of the distributions made on such Distribution Date (a “Distribution Date Statement”) setting forth, among other things:

Assistance in using the Certificate Administrator’s Website can be obtained by calling the Certificate Administrator’s investor relations desk at (866) 846-4526. The Certificate Administrator has not obtained and shall not be deemed to have obtained actual knowledge of any information posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website only by virtue of its receipt and posting such information to the Certificate Administrator’s Website or its filing of such information, to the extent such information was not produced by the Certificate Administrator.

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 Certificateholder, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (viii) and (xx) above as to the applicable Class, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion of such year during which such Person was a Certificateholder, together with such other information as the Certificate Administrator deems necessary or desirable, or that a Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner of a Certificate reasonably requests, to enable Certificateholders 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.

The Certificate Administrator will be entitled to rely on all information provided to it by the Servicer or the Special Servicer without independent verification. The Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator will be entitled to rely on information supplied by the Loan Borrower without independent verification.

140 

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of Certificates may access notice of a request of a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of Certificates may register to receive email notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Certificate Administrator will be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting notices of such requests.

(b)               The Certificate Administrator shall, on each Distribution Date make the Distribution Date Statement available to Privileged Persons and any Borrower Related Party that certifies to the Certificate Administrator in the form of Exhibit BB-2 that it is a Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner of a Certificate, pursuant to Section 8.14(b). The Certificate Administrator’s obligation to provide such information to Certificateholders and others shall be contingent on the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such information from the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such information provided to it by the Servicer or the Special Servicer without independent verification. To the extent that the information required to be furnished by the Servicer is based on information required to be provided by the Loan Borrower or the Special Servicer, the Servicer’s obligation to furnish such information to the Certificate Administrator shall be contingent on its receipt of such information from the Loan Borrower or the Special Servicer, as applicable. To the extent that information required to be furnished by the Special Servicer is based on information required to be provided by the Loan Borrower, the Special Servicer’s obligation to furnish such information shall be contingent upon its receipt of such information from the Loan Borrower. The Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on information supplied by the Loan Borrower without independent verification.

The Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent provided to it by the Servicer in electronic format, make available to Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b) reports or analyses of net operating income from the Property. Such net operating income reports or analyses shall be prepared pursuant to Section 3.18 hereof by the Servicer in CREFC^® format based on the quarterly, annual and periodic statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property obtained by the Servicer from the Loan Borrower.

If so authorized by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator may make available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website to any Privileged Person certain other information with respect to the Mortgage Loan (subject to the limitations of Section 3.4(c)).

141 

the Property, and (c) the Operating Advisor relating to annual 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 Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, in each case via email within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless it determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Servicer, the Special Servicer or Operating Advisor shall be by email to the Certificate Administrator. 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, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is not of a type 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 Loan Documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would, or is, reasonably expected to result in a waiver of attorney client privilege or the disclosure of attorney client work-product; (v) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (vi) answering any Inquiry would violate the applicable confidentiality provisions or (vii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable to answer, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator. 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor shall not answer an Inquiry if it determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is not of a type described in the Trust 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, the Loan Documents or the Trust and Servicing Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would, or is, reasonably expected to result in a waiver of attorney client privilege or the disclosure of attorney client work-product, (v) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (vi) answering any Inquiry would violate the applicable confidentiality provisions or (vii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable to answer, no inference should be drawn from the fact that the Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor has declined to answer the Inquiry.” No party may post or otherwise disclose information known to such party to be Privileged Information; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation to review any inquiry or answer received by it for posting to the Investor Q&A Forum to determine if such inquiry or answer contains any such direct communication with the Controlling Class Representative, or otherwise to consult with the party from whom such inquiry or answer is received to confirm the same, and the Certificate

142 

Administrator shall have no liability in connection with its posting to the Investor Q&A Forum of any inquiry or answer containing such direct communication. 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 Initial Purchaser or the Certificate Administrator (as applicable) or any of their respective affiliates. None of the Initial Purchaser, Depositor, 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. In addition to the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of the Investor Certification to confirm that such Person is a Privileged Person, the Certificate Administrator may require acceptance of an additional waiver and disclaimer for access to the Investor Q&A Forum. No party to this Agreement shall be permitted to disclose Privileged Information in the Investor Q&A Forum.

(b)               The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder and any Beneficial Owner, the Investor Registry. The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service via the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where Certificateholders and Beneficial Owners can register and thereafter obtain information with respect to any other Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner that has so registered. Any person registering to use the Investor Registry shall certify that (a) it is a Certificateholder or a Beneficial Owner 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 other registered Certificateholders and registered Beneficial Owners and such other certifications as the Certificate Administrator may require. Such Person shall then be asked to provide 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 Beneficial Owner notifies the Certificate Administrator in writing 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 Class HRR Certificates to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein. Unless otherwise directed by the Retaining Sponsor, no amounts distributable to the Class HRR Certificates shall be remitted to the Third Party Purchaser Custodial Account, but shall be remitted directly to the Holder of the Class HRR Certificates in accordance with written instructions (which shall be in the form of Exhibit J-1 to this Agreement) provided separately by the Holder of the Class HRR Certificates to the Certificate Administrator.

(e)               If any Beneficial Owner wishes to transfer its interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a QIB, 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) of Regulation S) that is an Institutional Accredited Investor but not a QIB, 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 5.3(h) of this Agreement.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.7 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 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 D 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 Global 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 Global Certificate, without any registration of such Certificates under the Securities 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 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.

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

149 

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 5.7 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 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 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, a certificate in the form of Exhibit E hereto 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 QIB 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.

(f)                Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate. Interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global 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 F hereto from the holder of a beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate, shall be exchanged after the Restricted Period, for interests in the Regulation S Global 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 Global Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Balance of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Global 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 Global Certificate. Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the

150 

Regulation S Global 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 Global Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Global Certificate and Rule 144A Global Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.

(g)               Non-Book Entry Certificate to Global Certificate. If a Holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than a Class HRR Certificate (unless otherwise consented to by the Retaining Sponsor pursuant to Section 5.1(d)) or a Class R Certificate) wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Global 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 Global 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 Global Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.7 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 Global 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 G hereto (in the event that the applicable Global Certificate is the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate), in the form of Exhibit H hereto (in the event that the applicable Global Certificate is the Regulation S Global Certificate) or in the form of Exhibit I hereto (in the event that the applicable Global Certificate is the Rule 144A Global 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 Global 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 Global Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate so canceled.

(h)               Exchanges of Non-Book Entry Certificates. If a holder of a Rule 144A Global Certificate, Regulation S Global Certificate or Non-Book Entry Certificate wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate, Regulation S Global Certificate or Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of a Non-Book Entry Certificate, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon): (i) an investment representation letter from the proposed transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit J-1 to this Agreement and (ii) if required by the Certificate Registrar, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such transfer shall be made without registration under the Securities Act, together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or the proposed transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (such opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust or

151 

of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such).

(i)                 Other Exchanges. In the event that a Global 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 clauses (c) through (f) and (h) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities 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 Global Certificate to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the provisions of clause (e) above.

(k)               If Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing a restrictive legend relating to compliance with the Securities Act, or if a request is made to remove such legend on Certificates, the 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, Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act or, with respect to Non-Book Entry Certificates, that such Certificates are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities 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)             No Class R Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be an employee benefit plan or plan that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or other plan that is subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law that is, to a material extent similar to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) (each, a “Benefit Plan” ), or any person acting on behalf of any such Benefit Plan or using the assets of a Benefit Plan to purchase such Class R Certificate.  Each prospective transferee of a Class R Certificate in definitive form (other than the Initial Purchaser) shall deliver to the transferor, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit O, stating that the prospective transferee meets the requirements of the preceding sentence. No Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D or Class HRR Certificates may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Benefit Plan, or any person acting on behalf of a Benefit Plan or using the assets of a Benefit Plan to purchase such Certificate, unless (A) the purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of the Securities Act and (B) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Certificate

152 

by the purchaser will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or a similar non-exempt violation of Similar Law). Any purported transfer in violation of this Section 5.3(m) shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any such purported purchaser or transferee.

(n)               In addition, each purchaser of Certificates that is a Benefit Plan subject to ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) or that or is acting on behalf of or using the assets of an ERISA Plan will be deemed to have represented and warranted that (i) none of the Depositor, the Initial Purchaser, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliated entities, has provided any investment advice within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (and the applicable regulations) to the ERISA Plan or the fiduciary making the investment decision for the ERISA Plan in connection with the ERISA Plan’s acquisition of Certificates, and (ii) the ERISA Plan fiduciary making the decision to acquire the Certificates is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the investment in the 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:

(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 of a Residual Ownership Interest 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 J-2 (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 Ownership Interest as

153 

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. 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 5.3(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 J-3 (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 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, 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 60 days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator agree to furnish to the IRS 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, such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

(iv)                The Class R Certificates may only be issued as Definitive Certificates and transferred to and owned by QIBs.

(p)               During the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of the Class HRR Certificates is to be made, then the following documents shall be submitted to the Certificate Administrator at Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, 9062 Old Annapolis Road, Columbia, Maryland 21045, Attention: Risk Retention Custody (CMBS)—CSMC 2020-WEST, who shall facilitate such transfer with the Certificate Registrar who shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) each of the following: (i) an executed written request for the Retaining Sponsor’s consent to such release for the purposes of transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-6, (ii) a certification from such

(q)               After the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of the Class HRR Certificates is to be made, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless such transfer is made in accordance with the transfer restrictions of this Article 5 and the Certificate Registrar receives (and upon receipt may conclusively rely upon) each of the following: (A) the original Class HRR Certificate released to the Certificate Registrar, (B) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-4 and (C) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-5.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Class HRR Certificates be held as a Global Certificate with a balance in excess of $0 at any time prior to termination of the HRR Transfer Restriction Period.

Section 5.4.          Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) 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 Fund. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.4, 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 5.4 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.

Section 5.5.          Persons Deemed Owners. The 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 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, 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

155 

distribute such report, statement or other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee).

Section 5.6.          Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses; Special Notices. 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. If any Certificateholder that has provided an Investor Certification (a) requests in writing from the Certificate Registrar a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders, (b) states that such Certificateholder desires to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to its rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and (c) provides a copy of the communication which such Certificateholder proposes to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such request, afford such Certificateholder access during normal business hours to a current list of the Certificateholders. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, 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 hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor shall be entitled to a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders from time to time upon request therefor.

Upon the written request of any Certificateholder that (a) has provided an Investor Certification, (b) states that such Certificateholder desires the Certificate Administrator to transmit a notice to all Certificateholders stating that such Certificateholder wishes to be contacted by other Certificateholders, setting forth the relevant contact information and briefly stating the reason for the requested contact (a “Special Notice”) and (c) provides a copy of the Special Notice which such Certificateholder proposes to transmit, the Certificate Administrator shall post such Special Notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b) and shall mail such Special Notice to all Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate Register. The costs and expenses of the Certificate Administrator associated with delivering any such Special Notice shall be borne by the party requesting such Special Notice. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such Special Notice to Certificateholders, regardless of the information set forth in such Special Notice.

Section 5.7.          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 Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, 600 South 4^th Street, 7^th Floor, MAC N9300-070, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Certificate Transfer Services CSMC 2020-WEST as its office for such purposes.

ARTICLE 6

THE DEPOSITOR, THE SERVICER, THE SPECIAL SERVICER, THE OPERATING ADVISOR AND THE CONTROLLING CLASS REPRESENTATIVE

Section 6.1.          Respective Liabilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement.

Section 6.2.          Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor. Each of the Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor shall keep in full effect its existence and rights as an entity under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and shall be in compliance with the laws of all jurisdictions to the extent necessary to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Servicer, Special Servicer, Depositor or Operating Advisor may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer, Special Servicer, Depositor or Operating Advisor shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer, Special Servicer, Depositor or Operating Advisor (which, in the case of the Operating Advisor, may be limited to succeeding to all or substantially all of its assets relating to acting as a trust advisor or operating advisor for commercial mortgage securitizations), shall be the successor of the Servicer, Special Servicer, Depositor or Operating Advisor as the case may be, hereunder, and shall be deemed to have assumed all of the liabilities and obligations of such Servicer, Special Servicer, Depositor or Operating Advisor hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee has received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such successor or surviving Person (except that if the successor or surviving Person is the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, the obligation to provide a Rating Agency Confirmation shall not apply).

Section 6.3.          Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and Others.  (a)  Neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor nor any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees, Affiliates or agents shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or any Companion Loan Holder for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, actions taken or not taken at the direction of Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders in accordance with this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or any such other person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, members, managers, partners, Affiliates or agents may reasonably rely on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special

157 

Servicer, the Operating Advisor and any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees, agents, Affiliates or other “controlling persons” within the meaning of the Securities Act (“Controlling Persons”), shall be indemnified by the Trust (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.4(c)) and held harmless against any loss, liability, claim, demand or expense incurred in connection with any legal action or other claims, losses, penalties, fines, foreclosures, judgments or liabilities relating to this Agreement (including attorneys’ fees and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity), the Co-Lender Agreement, the Mortgage Loan, the Property, or the Certificates (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable and reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement), other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence by it in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its negligent disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer may, in its discretion, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

(b)               The Depositor shall not be obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor may, but shall not be obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee under this Agreement.

Section 6.4.          Termination of the Special Servicer Without Cause.  (a)  At any time after 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 requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer with a proposed successor Special Servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer), (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the termination of the existing Special Servicer and the replacement thereof with the proposed successor (with the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation to be an expense of such Holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website and by mailing at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. Upon the written direction of (a) Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights that vote so long as they constitute a Certificateholder Quorum of the Certificates or (b) Holders of those Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights (subject to Section 6.3 of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer

158 

under this Agreement, and the proposed successor Special Servicer (if such successor is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) shall succeed to the duties of the Special Servicer all as if a removal and replacement were occurring pursuant to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 of this Agreement; provided that if such written direction is not provided within 180 days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 6.4(a) 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.

So long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to terminate the rights (subject to Section 6.3 of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or without cause, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee. Upon a termination (pursuant to the prior sentence) or a resignation of the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative shall appoint a successor Special Servicer; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.2 of this Agreement and (ii) the Controlling Class Representative 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.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner that are Privileged Persons or Borrower Related Parties that submit Exhibit BB-2 may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner that are Privileged Persons or Borrower Related Parties that submit Exhibit BB-2 may register to receive email 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.

(b)               The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, that none of the Trustee, the Servicer (solely in its capacity as Servicer), or the initial Special Servicer specified in Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement shall 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 or Certificateholders so terminating the Special Servicer and shall not in any event be an expense of the Trust Fund.

(c)               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

159 

after the date of such agreement and (ii) subject to Section 10.17 of this Agreement, the Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such termination and appointment of a successor.

(d)               Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.5 of this Agreement mutatis mutandis as of the date of its succession.

(e)               In the event that the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.4, 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 Mortgage Loan 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 prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.3 of this Agreement and the right to receive ongoing Work-out Fees or Liquidation Fee in accordance with the terms hereof and any indemnification that the Special Servicer is entitled to pursuant to the terms hereof).

Section 6.5.          The Controlling Class Representative.

(a)               So long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to (1) if a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs, advise the Special Servicer and (2) if a Special Servicing Loan Event has not occurred, advise the Special Servicer as to all matters for which the Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer for a Major Decision. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to Section 6.5(b) and the second and third paragraphs of this Section 6.5(a), both (a) the Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer, who shall have ten (10) Business Days (from the date that the Special Servicer receives the information from the Servicer) to analyze and make a recommendation regarding such Major Decision (provided that if the Special Servicer does not consent, or notify the Servicer that it will not consent, to such Major Decision within the required ten (10) Business Days the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have consented to such Major Decision) and (b) so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Servicer's taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision as to which the Controlling Class Representative has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and other information reasonably requested by the Controlling Class Representative from the Special Servicer unless such actions are part of an asset status report approved by the Controlling Class Representative (the “Major Decision Reporting Package”), which the Special Servicer will be required to deliver to the Controlling Class Representative within five (5) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s receipt of notice of the proposed action; provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Controlling Class Representative will be deemed to have approved such action; provided, further, that, in the event

160 

that the Special Servicer or Servicer (in the event the Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Class Representative so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing in this Agreement, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders, the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Class Representative’s (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer's) response. The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative for any Major Decision following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event.

In addition, unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Controlling Class Representative may reasonably deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction, and no objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of the Loan Documents, the Co-Lender Agreement (including the provisions regarding certain consultation rights with the Companion Loan Holders), applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation each of the Servicer's and the Special Servicer's obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or expose the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Servicer's or the Special Servicer's responsibilities hereunder or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer or the Special Servicer is not in the best interest of the Certificateholders. With respect to any action requiring the consent of the Controlling Class Representative hereunder, such consent will be deemed given if the Controlling Class Representative does not object within ten (10) Business Days.

In the event the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Controlling Class Representative or any advice from the Controlling Class Representative would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the Loan Documents, the provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse REMIC Event, applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation, Accepted Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee and, subject to Section 10.17 of this Agreement, the Rating Agency of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Controlling Class Representative that does not violate any law or Accepted Servicing Practices or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Servicer or the Special Servicer.

The Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability to the Trust or the 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

161 

that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties.

Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Controlling Class Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Controlling Class Representative may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Controlling Class Representative does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class; (iv) the Controlling Class Representative may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) of this paragraph, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Class Representative or any affiliate, director, officer, employee, shareholder, member, partner, 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 any 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, and the Special Servicer shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative 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, 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 Controlling Class Representative. In the event that no Controlling Class Representative has been appointed or identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator, then, until such time as the new Controlling Class Representative is identified, the 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 Controlling Class Representative, as the case may be.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but, with respect to the Controlling Class Representative only, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative in connection with any Major Decision (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Controlling Class Representative prior to a Consultation Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by Controlling Class Representative in respect thereof. Such consultation will not be binding on the Special Servicer. In the event the Special Servicer receives no response from the Controlling Class Representative within 10 days following its written request for input on any required consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Controlling Class Representative on the specific

162 

matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Controlling Class Representative to respond shall not relieve the Special Servicer from consulting with the Controlling Class Representative on any future matters with respect to the Mortgage Loan. For so long as no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor promptly after the Special Servicer receives the Controlling Class Representative’s approval or deemed approval of such Major Decision Reporting Package. For so long as an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor simultaneously upon providing such Major Decision Reporting Package to the Controlling Class Representative. 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, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor (telephonically or electronically) in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and such other matters that are subject to consultation rights of the Operating Advisor 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 ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) its written request for input (which initial request will be required to include a 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 Mortgage Loan.

In connection with the Controlling Class Representative’s right to consent or consult or the Operating Advisor’s right to 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.

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

163 

Class Representative. However, the Controlling Class Representative shall maintain the right to exercise its Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder.

(c)               Each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of a Class HRR 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 Registrar and to notify the Certificate Registrar of the transfer of any Class HRR Certificate (or the beneficial ownership of any Class HRR Certificate), the selection of a Controlling Class Representative or the resignation or removal thereof. Any such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or its designee at any time appointed Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Class HRR Certificate (or the beneficial ownership interest in a Class HRR Certificate) to notify in writing the Certificate Registrar when such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or designee is appointed Controlling Class Representative and when it is removed or resigns. The initial Controlling Class Representative and any subsequent Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed and acknowledged by virtue of its purchase of the Class HRR Certificates (or beneficial ownership interest in such Certificates) that its identity will be reported monthly by the Certificate Registrar in the Distribution Date Statement. Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Special Servicer, the Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee of the identity of the Controlling Class Representative, any resignation or removal thereof and/or any new Holder or Beneficial Owner of a Class HRR Certificate. In addition, upon the request of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee, as applicable, the Certificate Registrar shall provide (on a reasonably prompt basis) the identity of the then current Controlling Class, a list of the Certificateholders (or Beneficial Owners, if applicable, at the expense of the Trust if such expense arises in connection with an event as to which the Controlling Class Representative or the Controlling Class has consent or consultation rights pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise at the expense of the requesting party) and confirmation as to whether a Control Termination Event or Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred in the previous calendar year preceding any such request. Each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such information so provided by the Certificate Registrar and shall be entitled to assume that the identity of the Controlling Class Representative has not changed absent notice of a replacement of the Controlling Class Representative by a majority of the Controlling Class, or the resignation of the then-current Controlling Class Representative. In the event that no Controlling Class Representative has been appointed or identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator and no such entity has been identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Controlling Class Representative is identified, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Controlling Class Representative as the case may be.

If at any time that Pacific Life Insurance Company or any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) is no longer the Holder (or Beneficial Owner) or the designee of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Balance and the Certificate Registrar 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,

164 

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 Registrar receives either such notice. The Certificate Registrar and the other parties hereto will be entitled to assume that the entity identified in this Agreement as the initial Controlling Class Representative or any successor Controlling Class Representative selected thereby and identified to the Certificate Registrar in writing is the Controlling Class Representative, until the Certificate Registrar and other parties to the TSA receive (i) notice of the then-current Controlling Class Certificateholders of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Balance or (ii) notice of a replacement Controlling Class Representative pursuant to this Agreement.

Upon receipt of notice of a change in Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Registrar shall promptly forward notice thereof to each other party to this Agreement.

(d)               Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the 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.

Section 6.6.          Servicer and Special Servicer Not to Resign.  (a)  Each of the Servicer and Special Servicer may resign and assign its respective rights and delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement to any Person or to an entity, provided that:

(i)                the Person accepting such assignment and delegation (A) shall be an established mortgage finance institution, bank or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to perform the duties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, (B) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement; provided, however that to the extent such agreement modifies in any respect any of the covenants, terms or conditions in this Agreement to be performed by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, such agreement shall be subject to the approval of the Trustee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and (C) shall make such representations and warranties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as provided in Section 2.4 and Section 2.5;

(ii)               Rating Agency Confirmation has been received;

(iii)              the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation under this Section 6.6(a);

(iv)               the rate at which the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Fee, as applicable (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect; and

165 

(v)               the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust and the Rating Agency for any expenses of such assignment, sale or transfer.

Any attempted resignation and assignment shall be void, unless such resignation and assignment satisfies the conditions set forth above. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing requirements and acceptance of such assignment, such Person shall be the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder.

(b)               Other than as set forth in Section 6.2 and Section 6.6(a), none of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except upon determination that performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor. No resignation by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement shall become effective until a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, each of the Servicer or Special Servicer may assign its duties and obligations under this Agreement under certain limited circumstances as described herein.

(c)               In the event the Special Servicer becomes a Borrower Related Party, the Special Servicer shall provide notice to each of the other parties to this Agreement of such event and resign as Special Servicer and use reasonable efforts to replace itself with a special servicer that is a Qualified Servicer, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the proviso to Section 6.6(a) and the agreement of a proposed successor to accept the same or lower compensation; provided that if no such appointment is made within thirty (30) days of the Special Servicer becoming a Borrower Related Party, such failure shall be deemed a Special Servicer Termination Event and the Trustee shall promptly deliver written notice to the Special Servicer of the Special Servicer’s failure to perform the foregoing obligation. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative will be entitled to appoint (and replace with or without cause) a successor special servicer that is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and not a Borrower Related Party in accordance with the terms herein, unless the Controlling Class Representative is a Borrower Related Party. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event or if the Controlling Class Representative is a Borrower Related Party, the resigning Special Servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor special servicer that is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and not a Borrower Related Party in accordance with the terms herein and shall, at the expense of the Trust, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor special servicer if one is not appointed within 60 days.

Section 6.7.          Indemnification by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Depositor. Each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Depositor, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, the Companion Loan Holders and each other party to this Agreement from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and expenses and related costs,

166 

judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Trust, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or such other party that arise out of or are based upon (i) a breach by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor, as the case may be, of its representations and warranties under this Agreement or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor, as the case may be, in the performance of such obligations or its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any indemnification provisions in this Agreement providing that the Trust, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor is required to indemnify the Trust or another party to this Agreement for costs, fees and expenses, such costs, fees and expenses are intended to include attorney’s fees and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity.

(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 Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such decree or order has remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; provided, however, that, with respect to any such decree or order that cannot be discharged, dismissed or stayed within such sixty (60) day period, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, will have an additional period of thirty (30) days to effect such discharge, dismissal or stay so long as it has commenced proceedings to have such decree or order dismissed, discharged or stayed within the initial sixty (60) day period and has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such discharge, dismissal or stay;

(vii)               the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has failed to maintain a ranking by Fitch equal to or higher than “CMS3” (in the case of the Servicer) or “CSS3” or “CLLSS3” (in the case of the Special Servicer), as applicable, and such ranking is not reinstated within 60 days;

(viii)               a Companion Loan Rating Agency has (A) qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more classes of Companion Loan Securities, or (B) placed one or more classes of Companion Loan Securities on “watch status” in

168 

contemplation of rating downgrade or withdrawal and, in the case of either of clauses (A) or (B), citing servicing concerns with the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status” placement has not been withdrawn by such Companion Loan Rating Agency within sixty (60) days of such event); and

(ix)                so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or any primary servicer, Sub-Servicer or Servicing Function Participant (such entity, the “Sub-Servicing Entity”) retained by the Servicer or Special Servicer, shall fail to deliver the items required to be delivered by this Agreement to enable such Other Securitization Trust to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act within the time frame set forth for delivery in Article 11 (including any applicable grace periods) (any Sub-Servicing Entity that defaults in accordance with this Section 7.1(a)(ix) shall be terminated at the direction of the Depositor).

(b)               Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, unless such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event has been cured or waived, the Trustee, upon actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer thereof, shall (i) provide written notice to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and 17g-5 Information Provider and the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post notice of the same upon its receipt thereof on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, as applicable; (ii) subject to Section 10.16, provide written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, pursuant to Section 10.16; (iii) provide notice to the Companion Loan Holders to the addresses provided to the Certificate Administrator and (iv) provide notice thereof to all Certificateholders by mail to the addresses set forth on the Certificate Register. For avoidance of doubt, (i) the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Servicer shall not cause there to have occurred a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Special Servicer unless the relevant event also constitutes a Special Servicer Termination Event and (ii) the occurrence of a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Special Servicer shall not cause there to have occurred a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Servicer unless the relevant event also constitutes a Servicer Termination Event.

(c)               If a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either (i) the Trustee may, or (ii) upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates having at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of the Appraisal Reduction Amount to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates) of the Certificates, the Trustee shall, at all times, with respect to clause (iii) of a Special Servicer Termination Event that is based upon the failure of the Special Servicer to resign and replace itself after becoming a Borrower Related Party as required pursuant to Section 6.6(c), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination or that survive such termination, and in and to the Mortgage Loan and the proceeds thereof by notice in writing to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon any termination of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and appointment of a

169 

successor to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator shall post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website such written notice thereof and furnish the same to the Depositor, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) and to the Certificateholders by mail to the addresses set forth in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if a Special Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer affects the Companion Loan, any holder thereof or the rating on a class of Companion Loan securities, then the related affected Companion Loan Holder will be able to require termination of  the Special Servicer (subject to the right of the Controlling Class Representative to appoint a successor Special Servicer so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing) and (b) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Servicer affects the Companion Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder or the rating on a class of the related Companion Loan securities, and if the Servicer is not otherwise terminated, then the Servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related Companion Loan Holder, but upon the written direction of the related Companion Loan Holder, the Servicer shall be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Mortgage Loan.

(d)               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 Accepted Servicing Practices, and (ii) the replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole, then the Operating Advisor may recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer. In such event, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee, with a copy to the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, a written report 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 report 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 (which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer). In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify each Certificateholder of the recommendation and post such notice and report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.10(b), and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of Holders of Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders (which, for this purpose, is the Holders of Certificates that (A) evidence at least twenty percent (20%) of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances) of all Sequential Pay Certificates on an aggregate basis, and (B) consist of at least three (3) Certificateholders or Certificate Owners that are not affiliated with each other) and (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency with respect to the termination of the Special Servicer and the appointment of a successor special servicer recommended by the Operating Advisor by the Trustee following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee shall (upon receipt of confirmations from the Certificate Administrator) (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 (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel) of the Certificate

170 

Administrator and the Operating Advisor associated with the Certificate Administrator’s 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 Trustee does not receive the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the quorum described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within one hundred eighty (180) days 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.

(e)               In the event that the Servicer or Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, the Trustee (the “Terminating Party”) shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party”) (with a copy to the Loan Borrower), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loan and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Terminated Party 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 with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.3 notwithstanding any such termination). On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, subject to the foregoing, 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 Trust Loan or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Terminating Party pursuant to and under this Section 7.1 and, without limitation, the Terminating Party 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 Trust Loan and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, each agrees that, in the event it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, or resigns under Section 6.6(b), to promptly (and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at its own expense, the Terminating Party (which term shall include for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.1(e), the Trustee (or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer) in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) with all documents and records requested by the Terminating Party to enable the Terminating Party to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Terminating Party and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or the Terminating Party, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Terminated Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.1(e), the resigning party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) to the Collection Account, the Foreclosed Property Account or shall thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and shall promptly provide the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (which may include the Trustee), all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall reasonably request (including

171 

electromagnetic form), to enable it to assume the function of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses of the Terminating Party or the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage File to the Terminating Party or to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Terminated Party upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the Terminated Party has not reimbursed the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(c); provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Special Servicer is terminated without cause pursuant to Section 6.4, all costs and expenses incurred or payable by the terminated Special Servicer under this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Trust Fund.

(f)                Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Trustee of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event of which the Depositor becomes aware. In no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have knowledge of or be aware of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.

Section 7.2.          Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.  (a)  On and after the time the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.1, or resigns pursuant to Section 6.6(b), the Terminating Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.2, the Trustee (or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer including a successor appointed under Section 6.4(a)) in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) shall, unless prohibited by law, be the successor to the Terminated Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.2, the resigning party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer of the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) in all respects 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 Terminated Party by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that (i) neither the Trustee nor the Terminating Party (or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) shall have responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Terminated Party 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 monies or failure to cooperate as required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Terminating Party or such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Servicer, and any other successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided to the Trustee under this Agreement. The appointment of a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not affect any liability of the Terminated Party that may have arisen prior to its termination as such. The Terminating Party shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Terminated Party herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the Terminated Party or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the

172 

Terminated Party nor shall the Terminating Party or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer be required to purchase the Mortgage Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Terminating Party as successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to all compensation with respect to the Mortgage Loan to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled that accrues after the date of the Terminating Party’s succession to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder and, in the case of a successor Special Servicer, the Special Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, 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 having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates so request in writing to the Trustee, or the Trustee is not approved by the Rating Agency as a Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation, or if the Rating Agency do not provide written confirmation that the succession of the Trustee as Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, will not cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Certificates, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established loan servicing institution reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee the appointment for which a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, as the successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder; provided that so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to approve any such successor Special Servicer. No appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Terminated Party’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in the applicable capacity as herein above provided. 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 the Mortgage Loan as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Terminated Party hereunder, except 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 to the Terminated Party shall be paid pursuant to Section 3.4(c); provided, further; that, so long as no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in effect, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative (on a non-binding basis) prior to the appointment of a successor to the Terminated Party at amounts in excess of that permitted to the Terminated Party as set forth in the immediately preceding proviso. The Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer (as applicable), the Special Servicer (as applicable) and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b)               Notwithstanding Section 7.1(b), Section 7.1(e) or Section 7.2(a), if a Servicer receives a notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.1(vii), (viii) or (ix) and the terminated Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days after such termination, then such Servicer shall continue to serve as Servicer, and the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the terminated Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to master service the Mortgage Loan from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as successor Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.2 for which the Trustee has received

173 

Rating Agency Confirmation (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many Persons as are Qualified Bidders; provided, however, that (i) the terminated Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons who are Qualified Bidders (subject to receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation) from whom to solicit such bids; and (ii) the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to master service the Trust Loan under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within forty-five (45) days after the receipt by the terminated Servicer of a notice of termination. The Trustee shall solicit bids (i) on the basis of such successor Servicer entering into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer to service the Mortgage Loan at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to 0.00125% (each, a “Servicing-Retained Bid”) and (ii) on the basis of having no obligation to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer (each, a “Servicing-Released Bid”). The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing-Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing Released Bid) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall request the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof (and, if the successful bid was a Servicing-Retained Bid, to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer as contemplated above), no later than forty-five (45) days after the termination of the terminated Servicer. Upon the assignment and acceptance of the servicing rights hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of reasonable “out of pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).

(c)               If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.2 as successor to the resigning or terminated Servicer, it may reduce such terminated Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that its or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Servicer would otherwise be below market rate servicing compensation.

(i)                the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Custodian’s duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in regard to such party in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator and each of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator may request and 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, the Custodian and/or the Certificate Administrator (including those provided pursuant to Section 10.1) and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it reasonably believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;

In the absence of receipt of such notice and such actual knowledge otherwise obtained, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively assume that there is no Loan Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event.

(d)               None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator to (i) expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if there are reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, or (ii) perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement, except with respect to the Trustee, 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 Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) to the extent that the Trustee’s obligation hereunder is expressly contingent upon receipt of an indemnity from the Certificateholder, that it has received such indemnity. The Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall provide the Servicer with an invoice, on or prior to each Payment Date, setting forth the actual expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder for which it seeks payment or reimbursement.

Section 8.10.      Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.  (a)  At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Property may at the time be located or in which any action of the Trustee may be required to be performed or taken, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, a majority of the Voting Rights of the outstanding Certificates, by an instrument in writing signed by it or them, may appoint one or more individuals or corporations to act as separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustees, acting jointly with the Trustee, of all or any part of such Property, to the full extent that local law makes it necessary for such separate trustee or separate

188 

trustees or co-trustee acting jointly with the Trustee to act. The fees and expenses of any separate trustee or co-trustee shall be paid by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 3.4(c).

(b)               The Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be required by the legal requirements of any jurisdiction or by any such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee for the purpose of more fully conferring such title, rights or duties to such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, it, he, she or they shall be vested with such title to any Property or any part thereof, and with such rights, powers, duties and obligations as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment, and such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee, or the Trustee and such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee subject to all the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, as the case may be. Any separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee may, at any time by an instrument in writing, constitute the Trustee, its attorney-in-fact and agent with full power and authority to do all acts and things and to exercise all discretion on its behalf and in its, her or his name. In the event that any such separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Property and all assets, property, rights, powers, duties and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee shall, so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee unless and until a successor is appointed.

(c)               All provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall extend to and apply to each separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.10, and to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator in each capacity that it may assume hereunder, including without limitation, its capacity as Custodian, 17g-5 Information Provider, Certificate Administrator, Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent, as applicable.

(d)               Every co-trustee and separate trustee hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act and the Trustee shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions: (i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody, investment and payment of monies shall be exercised solely by the Trustee; (ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such co-trustee or trustees and separate trustee or trustees jointly except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or trustees; (iii) no power hereby given to, or exercisable by, any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be exercised hereunder by such co-trustee or separate trustees except jointly with, or with the consent of, the Trustee and (iv) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustees hereunder.

If, at any time, the Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or prudent in order to conform to any such law, the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any co-trustee or separate trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

189 

the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee by the Trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligations, duties, or responsibilities in any way or to any degree.

(e)               Any request, approval or consent in writing by the Trustee to any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be sufficient warrant to such co-trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, to take such action as may be so required, approved or consented to.

(f)                Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.10, the powers of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall not exceed those of the Trustee hereunder, and such co-trustee or separate trustee must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.6.

Wherever a reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication and delivery of Certificates by the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Administrator’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by an Authenticating Agent.

If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.11 the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If, at any time, an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.11, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 8.11. The initial Authenticating Agent shall be the Certificate Administrator.

(b)               Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 8.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.

(c)               An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice thereof to the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Depositor. The Certificate Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Depositor. Upon receiving such a notice

190 

of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.11, the Certificate Administrator may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first class mail, postage prepaid to all Certificateholders as their names and addresses appear in the Certificate Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.11.

Section 8.12.      Indemnification by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor and each other party to this Agreement from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Trust, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor, as applicable, that arise out of or are based upon (i) a breach by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, of its representations and warranties under this Agreement or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any indemnification provisions in this Agreement providing that the Trust, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor is required to indemnify the Trust or another party to this Agreement for costs, fees and expenses, such costs, fees and expenses are intended to include attorney’s fees and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity.

In the event of any inconsistencies in payments or prepayments made by the Loan Borrower with the previously delivered notices by the Loan Borrower, all costs and expenses incurred as a result of a failure by the Loan Borrower to make any such payments or prepayment, shall be paid by the Loan Borrower in accordance with the Loan Agreement provided that the amount of payment reported to the Depository by the Certificate Administrator was consistent with the information received from the Servicer or Special Servicer. If the Loan Borrower fail to do so, such costs and expenses shall be reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator and to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

227 

The Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall cause each Servicing Function Participant of such party that is not a Sub-Servicer set forth on Exhibit Z (and with respect to any Servicing Function Participant of such party that is a Sub-Servicer set forth on Exhibit Z, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Servicing Function Participant) to agree to the foregoing indemnification and contribution obligations.

Section 11.14.  Termination of the Certificate Administrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Depositor or any Other Depositor may terminate the Certificate Administrator upon five (5) Business Days’ notice if the Certificate Administrator fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Article 11; provided that such termination shall not be effective until a successor Certificate Administrator shall have accepted the appointment.

Section 11.15.  Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements. For so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, each of the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, shall (i) cause each Sub-Servicing Agreement to which it is a party to entitle the Depositor or any Other 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 to any deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article 11 and (ii) promptly notify the Depositor and any Other Depositor following any failure of the applicable Sub-Servicer to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article 11. The Depositor and any Other 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 and any Other Depositor to terminate a Sub-Servicing Agreement as aforesaid shall not limit any right the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may have to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement.

Section 11.16.  Notification Requirements and Deliveries in Connection with Securitization of the Companion Loan.  (a)  Any other provision of this Article 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, including, without limitation, any deadlines for delivery set forth in this Article 11, in connection with the requirements contained in this Article 11 that provide for the delivery of information and other items to, and the cooperation with, the Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party of any Other Securitization Trust that includes the 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 (i) until the Other Depositor or Other

228 

Exchange Act Reporting Party of such Other Securitization Trust has provided each party hereto with not less than 30 days written notice (which shall only be required to be delivered once), and each such party shall be entitled to rely on such notice, setting forth the contact information for such Person(s) and, except as regards the deliveries and cooperation contemplated by Section 11.7, Section 11.8 and Section 11.9 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. Any reasonable cost and expense of the Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator in cooperating with such Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party of such Other Securitization Trust (above and beyond their expressed duties hereunder) shall be the responsibility of such Other Depositor or Other Securitization Trust. The parties hereto shall have the right to confirm in good faith with the Other Depositor of such Other Securitization Trust as to whether applicable law requires the delivery of the items identified in this Article 11 to such Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party of such Other Securitization Trust prior to providing any of the reports or other information required to be delivered under this Article 11 in connection therewith and (i) upon such confirmation, the parties shall comply with the deadlines for delivery set forth in this Article 11 with respect to such Other Securitization Trust or (ii) in the absence of such confirmation, the parties shall not be required to deliver such items; provided that no such confirmation will be required in connection with any delivery of the items contemplated by Section 11.7, Section 11.8 and Section 11.9 of this Agreement. Such confirmation shall be deemed given if the Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party for the Other Securitization Trust provides a written statement to the effect that the Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the appropriate party hereto receives such written statement. The parties hereunder shall also have the right to require that such Other Depositor provide them with the contact details of such Other Depositor, Other Exchange Act Reporting Party and any other parties to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to such Other Securitization Trust.

(b)               Each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall, upon reasonable prior written request given in accordance with the terms of Section 11.16(a) above, and subject to a right of the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as the case may be, to review and approve such disclosure materials, permit the Companion Loan Holder to use such party’s description contained in the Offering Circular (updated as appropriate by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, at the reasonable cost of the Other Depositor) for inclusion in the disclosure materials relating to any securitization of the Companion Loan.

(c)               The Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, upon reasonable prior written request given in accordance with the terms of Section 11.16(a) above, shall each timely provide (to the extent the reasonable cost thereof is paid or caused to be paid by the requesting party) to the Other Depositor and any underwriters with respect to any securitization transaction that includes the Companion Loan such opinion(s) of counsel, certifications and/or indemnification agreement(s) with respect to the updated description referred in Section 11.16(b) with respect to such party, substantially identical to those,

229 

if any, delivered by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, or their respective counsel, in connection with the information concerning such party in the Offering Circular and/or any other disclosure materials relating to this Trust (updated as deemed appropriate by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or their respective legal counsel, as the case may be, and sufficient to comply with Regulation AB). None of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall be obligated to deliver any such item with respect to the securitization of the Companion Loan if it did not deliver a corresponding item with respect to this Trust.

Article 12

REMIC ADMINISTRATION

Section 12.1.      REMIC Administration.  (a)  The parties intend that each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall constitute, and that the affairs of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a REMIC, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention.

(b)               The Certificate Administrator shall make or cause to be made an election on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to treat the segregated pool of assets constituting such Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the Code. Each such election shall be made on IRS Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued.

(c)               The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The “latest possible maturity date” of the Regular Certificates and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests for the purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code is the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date.

(d)               The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely produced to the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign) and file or cause to be filed with the IRS, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, an application for a taxpayer identification number for such Trust REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 or obtain such number by other permissible means. Within thirty days of the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall 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 Persons that Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and shall update such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code (and the Depositor agrees within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing). The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the preparation of the related IRS Form W-9, if such form is requested. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information contained therein, and is hereby directed to execute such IRS Form W-9; provided,

230 

however, that the Certificate Administrator shall also be directed to execute such IRS Form W-9 (in lieu of the Trustee) if permitted by Treasury Regulations.

(e)               The Certificate Administrator shall pay without any right of reimbursement the ordinary and usual expenses in connection with the preparation, filing and mailing of tax information reports and returns that are incurred by it in the ordinary course of its business, but extraordinary or unusual expenses, costs or liabilities incurred in connection with its tax-related duties under this Agreement, including without limitation any expenses, costs or liabilities associated with audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC that involve the IRS or state tax authorities, shall be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.

(f)                The Certificate Administrator shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, timely furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign), and the Certificate Administrator shall file or cause to be filed all federal, state and local income or franchise or other tax and information returns for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as the direct representative for such Trust REMIC. Except as provided in Section 12.1(e), the expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Certificate Administrator. The Depositor shall provide on a timely basis to the Certificate Administrator or its designee such information with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as is in its possession, and is reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection, and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such information in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(g)               The Certificate Administrator shall perform on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such Trust REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, the Certificate Administrator shall provide (i) to the IRS or other Persons (including, but not limited to, the transferor of a Class R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or to an agent that has acquired a Class R Certificate on behalf of a Disqualified Organization) such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Disqualified Organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Depositor shall provide on a timely basis (and in no event later than 30 days after the Certificate Administrator’s request) to the Certificate Administrator or its designee such information with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as is in its possession and is reasonably requested in writing by the Certificate Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection.

(h)               The Certificate Administrator is hereby designated 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 the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC and each Holder of a Class R Certificate, by acceptance of the Class R Certificates, agree to such designation.

(i)                 The Certificate Administrator, the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall perform their obligations under this Agreement and the

231 

REMIC Provisions in a manner consistent with the status of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC.

(j)                 The Certificate Administrator, any Holder of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any action or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to take any action, within their respective control and the scope of their specific respective duties under this Agreement that, under the REMIC Provisions, could reasonably be expected to (i) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) unless permitted under Section 12.2(a), result in the imposition of a tax upon either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on prohibited contributions as defined in Section 860G(d)) of the Code (any such result in clause (i) or (ii), an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless (A) the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received a Nondisqualification Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders) with respect to such action or (B) the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received an opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders) to the effect that such action will not cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC and that no tax will actually be imposed.

(k)               Any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or its assets or transactions, including, without limitation, “prohibited transaction” taxes as defined in Section 860F of the Code, and any tax on contributions imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code, shall be paid from the Collection Account; provided that the Servicer, upon two (2) days prior written notice, shall remit from the Collection Account to the Certificate Administrator the amount of any such tax that the Certificate Administrator notifies the Servicer is due; provided, further, that if such taxes shall have been imposed on account of the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of any party hereto, or in connection with the breach of any representation or warranty made by any party hereto in this Agreement, then such taxes shall be paid by such party.

(l)                 The Certificate Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Loan Documents (but subject to Section 1.3), all amounts collected on the Trust Loan shall, for federal income tax purposes, be allocated first to interest due and payable on the Trust Loan (including interest on overdue interest) other than Default Interest. The books and records must be sufficient concerning the nature and amount of the investments of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to show that such Trust REMIC has complied with the REMIC Provisions.

(m)             None of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

(n)               In order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Certificate Administrator

232 

within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Certificate Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes on the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the yield, issue prices, pricing prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates, as applicable, and the projected cash flows on the Trust Loan. Thereafter, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator, promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Certificate Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to use any and all such information or data provided by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer in the preparation of all federal, state or local income, franchise or other tax and information returns and reports for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to Certificateholders as required herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Certificate Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Certificate Administrator arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 12.1 that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Certificate Administrator (but not resulting from the methodology employed by the Certificate Administrator) on a timely basis and such indemnifications shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Certificate Administrator.

The Certificate Administrator agrees that all such information or data so obtained by it shall be regarded as confidential information and agrees that it shall use its best reasonable efforts to retain in confidence, and shall ensure that its officers, employees and representatives retain in confidence, and shall not disclose, without the prior written consent of the Depositor, any or all of such information or data, or make any use whatsoever (other than for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement) of any such information or data without the prior written consent of the Depositor, unless such information is generally available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.1) or is required by law or applicable regulations to be disclosed.

Section 12.2.      Foreclosed Property.  (a)  The parties hereto acknowledge and understand that if the Trust Fund were to acquire the Property as Foreclosed Property and were to own and operate that Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which such Property is currently owned and operated by the related Loan Borrower, through a Successor Manager, some portion or all of the income derived in the Lower-Tier REMIC from such Foreclosed Property may be considered “net income from foreclosure property” for purposes of Section 860G(c) of the Code and subject to tax at normal corporate income tax rates.

In determining whether to acquire and hold the Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall take these circumstances into account and shall only acquire such Foreclosed Property if it determines, in its reasonable judgment (after, consultation with counsel, at the expense of the Trust Fund), that either (i) there is a commercially feasible alternative method of administering such Foreclosed Property that would not result in such tax, e.g., a net lease that results in Rents from Real Property or (ii) the likely recovery with respect to operating such Foreclosed Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, after taking into account any such taxes that might be imposed on either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, will exceed the likely recovery to the Trust Fund if the Trust

233 

Fund were to net lease such Foreclosed Property or were not to acquire and hold such Foreclosed Property. If the Trust Fund acquires the Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, if the Manager would not be considered an Independent Contractor, shall either renegotiate the applicable Management Agreement or replace the Manager with a Successor Manager (as appropriate and to the extent permitted under such Management Agreement) so that such Foreclosed Property would be considered to be operated by an Independent Contractor. If, after making the foregoing reasonable efforts, the Special Servicer determines that it is in the best interests of Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders on a net after-tax basis to operate such Foreclosed Property in a manner such that the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC shall receive, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, “net income from foreclosure property” under the REMIC Provisions, the Special Servicer shall maintain or cause to be maintained such records of income and expense as to enable such amounts to be computed accurately, and shall pay or retain or cause to be paid or retained from Foreclosure Proceeds such amounts as are necessary to pay such tax or, to the extent such amounts are insufficient, from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not, to the extent within its power:

(i)               permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to a Foreclosed 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 a Foreclosed 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 improvements was completed before default on the Trust Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

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

(b)               The Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall make reasonable efforts to sell the Foreclosed Property for its fair market value in accordance with Section 3.15. In any event, however, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall dispose of the Foreclosed Property as soon as is practicable but in no event later than the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Acquisition Date occurs unless the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (or has not been denied) an extension of time (an “Extension”) by the IRS to sell such Foreclosed Property or an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such Foreclosed Property for an additional specified period will neither result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the Code, nor cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional specified period, with the expenses

234 

of obtaining any such extension of time being an expense of the Trust Fund. If the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (or has not been denied) such Extension, then the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall continue to attempt to sell such Foreclosed Property for its fair market value for such longer period as such Extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, has not received such an Extension and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell such Foreclosed Property, within the foregoing period or if the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, has received such an Extension, and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell such Foreclosed Property within the Extended Period, the Special Servicer shall, before the end of the above-referenced period or the Extended Period, as the case may be, auction such Foreclosed Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Special Servicer) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(c)               Within thirty (30) days of the sale of a Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer shall provide to each of the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a statement of accounting for such Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date the Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the date of disposition of such Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Certificate Administrator and/or Trustee may reasonably request.

Section 12.3.      Prohibited Transactions and Activities. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall not permit the sale or disposition of the Trust Loan at a time when the Trust Loan is not the subject of a breach of a representation or is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable (except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Lower-Tier REMIC or (ii) the termination of the Lower-Tier REMIC in a “qualified liquidation” as defined in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code), nor acquire any assets for either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than Foreclosed Property), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or Distribution Account for gain, nor receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for services, nor accept any contributions to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than a cash contribution during the three-month period beginning on the Startup Day), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person requesting it to take such action) to the effect that such disposition, acquisition, substitution or acceptance will not (a) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, or adversely affect the status of the Regular Certificates as representing regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), or (d) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “prohibited contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

Section 12.4.      Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.  (a)  If either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or a tax as a result of a prohibited transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties and

235 

obligations specifically set forth herein, or by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s negligent disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall indemnify the Trust against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting therefrom; provided, however, that the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, or the Depositor, on which the Certificate Administrator has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of successor Holders of the Class R Certificates at law or in equity.

If either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or a tax as a result of a prohibited transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent performance of the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its duties and obligations set forth herein, or by reason of the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s negligent disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Trust Fund against any and all losses resulting therefrom; provided, however, that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any such losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for any such losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor or the Holders of the Class R Certificates on which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of any successor Holders of the Class R Certificates at law or in equity.

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2020 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Servicer, Pacific Life Insurance Company, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Custodian and as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in March 2020 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, 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, any Prepayment Charges then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Trustee with a written request for payment by wire transfer, together with wire instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution 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 therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust 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.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, 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.

A-1-5

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class adversely affected by such amendment evidencing, in each case, not less than 51% 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Certificates, except that the amendment may not (1) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Trust Loan that are required to be distributed on any Certificate; (2) alter in any manner the liens on any Collateral securing payments of the Trust Loan; (3) alter the obligations of the Servicer or the Trustee to make an Advance or alter the Accepted Servicing Practices; (4) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Certificateholders that are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement; or (5) amend Section 10.1 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any manner the obligations of the Sponsor under the Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the Sponsor, and the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement that it determines affects its rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In addition, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, or at the Trust Fund’s expense if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is the requesting party) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor and the Trustee created thereby with respect to the Certificates (other than

A-1-6

the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date, other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to file final tax returns for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC to maintain books and records of the Trust Fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and records and other than the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii)  the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Trust Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of execution of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been executed by the Certificate Administrator or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Trust and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates or the Trust Loan or related documents except as expressly set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in March 2020 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, 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, any Prepayment Charges then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class X Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

In addition, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, or at the Trust Fund’s expense if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is the requesting party) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

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 to (i) “qualified institutional buyers” in transactions under Rule 144A, or (ii) Institutional Accredited Investors 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 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 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 resold unless it is 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 February 7, 2020, relating to the 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 Trust 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 Certificate, except in compliance with Section 5.3 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Re: CSMC 2020-WEST, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-WEST (the “Certificates”) issued pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2020 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), between Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Servicer, Pacific Life Insurance Company, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Custodian and as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor.

______________________________________________________________________________

STATE OF )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF )

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Trust 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 “Trust REMIC”) designated as the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and “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

J-2-1

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 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 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 or successor provisions thereto.

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. Person, (d) any partnership if any of its interests are (or under the partnership agreement are permitted to be) owned, directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation), by a Disqualified Non-U.S. Person or (e) a U.S. Person with respect to which income from the 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. 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. 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:

J-2-2

(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 Trust 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 Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and

(iv)       the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.

☐        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.

J-2-3

10.       The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.

11.       The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer to any Person that does not provide an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement or as to which the Purchaser has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

12.       The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.

13.       The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.

14.       The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Trust 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 “partnership representative” of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2020 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Servicer, Pacific Life Insurance Company, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Custodian and as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Trust 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit J-2. 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 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

J-3-1

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)

I.       Executive Summary

Based on the requirements and qualifications set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, as well as the items listed below, the Operating Advisor (in accordance with the Operating Advisor’s analysis requirements outlined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement) has undertaken a limited review of the Special Servicer’s actions under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Based solely on such limited review of the items listed below, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer [is/is not] operating in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices with respect to its performance of its duties under the Trust and Servicing Agreement during the prior calendar year. [The Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer has failed to comply with Accepted Servicing Practices, as a result of the following material deviations.]

· [LIST OF ANY MATERIAL DEVIATION ITEMS]

In addition, the Operating Advisor notes the following: [PROVIDE SUMMARY OF ANY ADDITIONAL MATERIAL INFORMATION].

[ADD RECOMMENDATION OF REPLACEMENT OF SPECIAL SERVICER, IF APPLICABLE]

II.       List of Items that Were Considered in Compiling this Report

¹ This report is an indicative report and does not reflect the final form of annual report to be used in any particular year. The Operating Advisor will have the ability to modify or alter the organization and content of any particular report, subject to the compliance with the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, provisions relating to Privileged Information.

S-1

In rendering our assessment herein, we examined and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the items listed below:

1. Any Major Decision Reporting Package that is delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

2. Reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the certificate administrator’s website and each Asset Status Report and Final Asset Status Report, in each case, delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

3. The Special Servicer’s assessment of compliance report, attestation report by a third party regarding the Special Servicer’s compliance with its obligations and non-discretionary portions of net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

5. [INSERT IF AFTER AN OPERATING ADVISOR CONSULTATION EVENT]: Consulted with the Special Servicer as provided under the Trust and Servicing Agreement in respect of the Asset Status Reports for the Trust Loan when a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement and with respect to Major Decisions processed by the Special Servicer.]

NOTE: The Operating Advisor’s review of the above materials should be considered a limited review and not be considered a full or limited audit, legal review or legal conclusion. For instance, we did not review each page of the Special Servicer’s policy and procedure manuals (including amendments and appendices), review underlying lease agreements or similar underlying documents, re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculation, visit any related property, visit the Special Servicer, visit the Controlling Class Representative or interact with the borrower. 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.

III.       Qualifications and Disclaimers Related to the Work Product Undertaken and Opinions Related to this Report

1. As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Operating Advisor (i) is not required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, Accepted Servicing Practices or the Special Servicer’s obligations under the Trust and Servicing Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial and (ii) will not be required to provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion.

S-2

2. In rendering our assessment herein, we have assumed that all executed factual statements, instruments, and other documents that we have relied upon in rendering this assessment have been executed by persons with legal capacity to execute such documents.

3. Other than the receipt of the Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report that is delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Operating Advisor did not participate in, or have access to, the Special Servicer’s and Controlling Class Representative’s discussion(s) regarding the Trust Loan when a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred. The Operating Advisor does not have authority to speak with the Controlling Class Representative or borrower 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.

4. The Special Servicer has the legal authority and responsibility to service the Trust Loan when a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Operating Advisor has no responsibility or authority to alter the standards set forth therein or the actions of the Special Servicer.

5. Confidentiality and other contractual limitations limit the Operating Advisor’s ability to outline the details or substance of any communication held between it and the Special Servicer regarding the Trust Loan when a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and certain information it reviewed in connection with its duties under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. As a result, this report may not reflect all the relevant information that the Operating Advisor is given access to by the Special Servicer.

6. The Operating Advisor is not empowered to speak with any investors directly. If the investors have questions regarding this report, they should address such questions to the certificate administrator through the certificate administrator’s website.

7. This report does not constitute recommendations to buy, sell or hold any security, nor does the Operating Advisor take into account market prices of securities or financial markets generally when performing its limited review of the Special Servicer as described above. The Operating Advisor does not have a fiduciary relationship with any Certificateholder or any other party or individual. Nothing in this report is intended to or should be construed as creating a fiduciary relationship between the Operating Advisor and any certificateholder, party or individual.

Terms used but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

The Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as the Depositor and the Servicer, that:

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.

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

This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated and effective as of September 1, 2021, among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services 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, and collectively with the RR Interest, will evidence the entire 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”). In addition, a REMIC was formed with respect to one mortgage loan, any REO Property with respect thereto and the proceeds thereof for federal income tax purposes pursuant to a REMIC Declaration dated as of February 18, 2021 (the “1822 Sunset Boulevard Loan REMIC Declaration” or the “REMIC Declaration”, and such REMIC the “1822 Sunset Boulevard Loan REMIC”). The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for any tax administration with respect to the 1822 Sunset Boulevard Loan REMIC as described herein. The 1822 Sunset Boulevard Loan REMIC will be designated as the “Serviced Loan REMIC” or the “Loan REMIC”. The 1822 Sunset Boulevard Loan REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC will be designated as the “Trust REMICs”.

 

In addition, the parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the uncertificated regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC corresponding to the VRR Interest (“VRR Regular Interests”) and distributions thereon and the residual interest issued by the Serviced Loan REMIC, 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 S Certificates and the VRR Interest shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the related portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the VRR Interest shall also represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the VRR Regular Interests and distributions thereon and the Class R Certificates shall represent beneficial ownership of the residual interest issued by the Serviced Loan REMIC. 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 the Trust REMICs.

 

The Depositor intends (i) to sell the Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and the Class RR Certificates) to the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers, (ii) to cause $12,072,195 RR Interest Balance of the RR Interest to be owned on the Closing Date by GSMC (or its MOA), (iii) to cause $14,073,350 RR Interest Balance of the RR Interest to be

 

-1-

 

 

owned on the Closing Date by JPMCB (or its MOA), (iv) to cause $16,585,338 Certificate Balance of the Class RR Certificates to be owned on the Closing Date by DBRI (or its MOA), and (v) to cause $13,314,064 Certificate Balance of the Class RR Certificates to be owned on the Closing Date by CREFI (or its MOA).

 

LOWER-TIER REMIC

 

The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Loan REMIC Regular Interest (defined below) and the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest and exclusive of the assets held by the Loan REMIC) and will issue the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LA3, Class LA4, Class LA5, Class LASB, Class LAS, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LG, Class LH and Class LRR Uncertificated Interests and the LRI Uncertificated Interest (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), which will evidence the “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder. 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.

 

Pursuant to the 1822 Sunset Boulevard Loan REMIC Declaration, the 1822 Sunset Boulevard Loan REMIC has issued the “1822 Sunset Boulevard Loan REMIC Regular Interest” (the “Loan REMIC Regular Interest”), a 100% interest of which will be held by the Lower-Tier REMIC, which constitutes the class of “regular interests” in such Loan REMIC, and the “1822 Sunset Boulevard Loan REMIC Residual Interest” (the “Loan REMIC Residual Interest”), which represents the sole class of “residual interests” in such Loan REMIC. The Class R Certificates will represent a beneficial interest in the Loan REMIC Residual Interest.

 

The Loan REMIC Regular Interest will be held by the Trustee as assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC, and the Lower-Tier Regular Interests will be held by the Trustee as assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC.

THE GRANTOR TRUST

 

The Class S Certificates, the Class RR Certificates and the RR Interest shall each represent undivided beneficial interests in the related portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class RR Certificates and the RR Interest shall also each represent undivided beneficial interests in the VRR Regular Interests and distributions thereon, and the Class R Certificates shall represent beneficial ownership of the residual interest issued by the Serviced Loan REMIC. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall not take any actions that would cause the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust (i) to fail to maintain its status as a “grantor trust” under federal income tax law or (ii) to be treated as part of any Trust REMIC.

“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 or the Trustee, as applicable, 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 Whole Loan, to any Other Servicer, and with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination shall be binding upon, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not have any obligation to make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance is or would be recoverable; however, if the Special Servicer makes any determination, such determination shall not be binding upon the Master Servicer or the Trustee. 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 Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced 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 Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced 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

 

-78-

 

 

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 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 Mortgage 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 RR Interest Owners. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance 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 Controlling Class Representative (but only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan) (and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer), the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer the Operating Advisor (and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer) and the Certificate Administrator. 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,

 

-79-

 

 

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 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 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.

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

 

-80-

 

 

Appraisals or market value estimates in its possession to the requesting party for such purpose). Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any Property Protection Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that it has made a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance or that any proposed Property Protection Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Protection 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 Controlling Class Representative, (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan) (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).

Any such determination shall be binding upon, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not have any obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Property Protection Advance is or would be recoverable; however, if the Special Servicer makes any such determination, such determination shall not be binding upon the Master Servicer or the Trustee. In the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such Property Protection Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Property Protection 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 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 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 Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, determination that a Property Protection Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a Property Protection Advance is or would be

nonrecoverable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Master Servicer make a Property Protection Advance, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Property Protection 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 Property Protection Advances other than emergency advances (although such request may relate to more than one Property Protection 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 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 Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement.

Section 2.02         Acceptance by Trustee. (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 (to the extent such documents constituting the Mortgage Files are actually delivered to the Trustee or Custodian) 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 the RR Interest Owners and, if applicable, the Companion Holders pursuant to Section 2.01(f). With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Custodian shall also hold the portion of such Mortgage File that relates to the Companion Loan in such Serviced Whole Loan in trust for the use and

 

-137-

 

 

benefit of the related Companion Holder. In connection with the foregoing, the Custodian hereby certifies to each of the other parties hereto, each 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 or the possession of the Custodian on its behalf, and (ii) the original Mortgage Note (or, if accompanied by a lost note affidavit, the copy of such Note) received by it or the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan has been reviewed by it or by the Custodian on its behalf 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 material exceptions have been removed and (iii) the day on which a 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 Section 2.01(c), Section 2.02(c) and Section 2.02(d) of this Agreement and the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, certify in writing (substantially in the form of Exhibit Q to this Agreement) to each of the other parties hereto, each Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser (and upon request, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, to the related Companion Holder) that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such certification): (i) all documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), (5), (7), (14) and (21) (for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise satisfied the delivery requirements in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; (ii) the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement has been completed (based solely on receipt by the Custodian of the particular recorded/filed documents); (iii) all documents received by the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed by the Custodian on its behalf 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), (vi), and (viii)(c) 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. If the Custodian’s obligation to deliver the certifications contemplated in this subsection terminates because two years have elapsed since the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver a comparable certification to any party hereto, the Companion 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 Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Furthermore, none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.

 

(d)        It is understood that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), (5), (7), (14) and (21) (for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan) 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.

-139-

 

 

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, as to any rights of indemnification hereunder, by considerations of public policy;

 

(iii)         Neither the execution and delivery by the Depositor of this Agreement nor the compliance by the Depositor with the provisions hereof, nor the consummation by the Depositor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will (A) conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor or, after giving effect to the consents or taking of the actions contemplated by clause (B) of this paragraph (iii), any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Depositor or its properties, or any of the provisions of any indenture or agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument or (B) require any consent of, notice to, or filing with any person, entity or governmental body, which has not been obtained or made by the Depositor, except where, in any of the instances contemplated by clause (A) above or this clause (B), the failure to do so will not have a material and adverse effect on the consummation of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

 

(iv)         There is no litigation, charge, investigation, action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened against the Depositor in any court or by or before any other governmental agency or instrumentality the outcome of which could be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the validity of the Mortgage Loans or the ability of the Depositor to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

 

(v)          The Depositor is not transferring the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud its present or future creditors;

 

(vi)         No proceedings looking toward merger, liquidation, dissolution or bankruptcy of the Depositor are pending or contemplated;

 

(vii)        Immediately prior to the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor had such right, title and interest in and to each Mortgage Loan as was transferred to it by each Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement;

 

(viii)       The Depositor has not transferred any of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans (as such was transferred to it by each Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) to any Person other than the Trustee; and

 

(ix)          The Depositor is transferring all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans (as such was transferred to it by each Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to

 

-140-

 

 

the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by or through the Depositor.

 

(b)        If the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) discovers (without implying any duty of such Person to make, or to attempt to make, such a discovery) or receives notice alleging (A) that any document required to be included by (or on behalf of) the related Mortgage Loan Seller and 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) a breach of any representation or warranty of a Mortgage Loan Seller made pursuant to Section 6(d) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan (a “Breach”), then such Person shall give prompt written notice thereof to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the other parties hereto, any related 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 any such Document Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects, or any such Document Defect is deemed in accordance with Section 2.03(c) of this Agreement to materially and adversely affect, the value of the related Mortgage Loan (or any related REO Property) or the interests of the Trustee or the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners therein or causes any Mortgage Loan to fail to be a Qualified Mortgage, then such Document Defect shall constitute a “Material Document Defect” or such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach”; and a Material Breach and/or a Material Document Defect, as the case may be, shall constitute a “Material Defect”, as the case may be. 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that made such determination shall give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable 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 Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Special Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), as applicable, shall require the related Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than ninety (90) days from the earlier of (a) the earlier of such 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

 

-141-

 

 

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) (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) 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 applicable 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 applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within such Initial Cure Period, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days (such additional ninety (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 such Mortgage Loan Seller’s receiving such Extended Cure Period, such 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 related Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure of such Material Defect and stating that such 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 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 or substitution obligations in respect of such Document Defect so long as the related Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator every thirty (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 related 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 eighteen (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

 

-142-

 

 

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 applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related Repurchase or substitution within two (2) 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 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, 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 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 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 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 applicable 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 (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof). If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of a 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 each Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer (in the case of Non-Specially

 

-143-

 

 

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 a 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 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 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 RR Interest Owners 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 a 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 (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 related 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).

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

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 Benchmark 2021-B29 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29, 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, 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. Each 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 applicable 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 any 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 each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which the Master Servicer shall provide to each Sub-Servicer.

The Depositor shall cause each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to require the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon written request from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, to deliver one (1) PDF and one (1) original of a power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit F to the applicable 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 each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to effect (at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense) 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 Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and a Mortgage Loan Seller (or other responsible repurchasing entity) repurchases the related Companion Loan pursuant to the Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, such 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 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 related 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 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 applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by such 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 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 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 related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee;

 

-146-

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners 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 each 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, such 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)         Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement provides the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners, or the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, respecting any Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

 

(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 shall 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 related 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 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(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.

 

-147-

 

 

(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 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 or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code or the imposition of tax on any of such REMICs, the Grantor Trust or the Trust 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.

 

(h)        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(b) 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 Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, as assignee of the Depositor, shall, as set forth in the applicable 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 applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from exercising such remedies until the related 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.

 

(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 a 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. The Enforcing Servicer, shall then promptly forward that Owner Repurchase Request to the related 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

 

-148-

 

 

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 related 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 one hundred eighty (180) days after the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller receives the Repurchase Request (a “Resolution Failure”), the provisions described in Section 2.03(j) 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.

 

(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. The Master Servicer shall also deliver to the Special Servicer the Servicing File and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Non-Specially Serviced 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 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, information, documents and records, 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 shall 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. The Certificate Administrator shall make the Proposed Course of Action Notice available to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners and the RR Interest Owners, by

 

-149-

 

 

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. The Proposed Course of Action Notice shall include (a) a request to the 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 thirty (30) days after the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received after such thirty (30) day period will not be taken into consideration, (b) a statement that if any Certificateholder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer (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 (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 Balance, of the responding Certificateholders that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures described below relating to the delivery of the Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices and Final Dispute Resolution Election Notices, (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. Within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day response period, the Certificate Administrator shall 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 applicable 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(j) 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 majority, by Certificate Balance, of the responding Certificateholders. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Holder, 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 Holder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Holder, if any,

 

-150-

 

 

or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within thirty (30) days after the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. In the event that (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action indicated a recommendation to undertake mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, (b) any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice and (c) the Enforcing Servicer also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, such additional responses from other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners shall also be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting such Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action approved by the majority, by Certificate Balance, of Certificateholders.

 

(ii)           If neither the Initial Requesting Holder, if any, nor any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner 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 related 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 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 or Certificate Owner (other than the Class RR Certificates) (each of clauses (a) or (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 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 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

 

-151-

 

 

Certificateholder or Certificate 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 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 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 a Requesting Holder, any other Certificateholder, 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 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(j) will 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 and the RR 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; 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 no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and an applicable Excluded Loan is not involved, and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller (with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan) or any of their respective Affiliates (except for any Holders of the Controlling Class) shall be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Holder or a Requesting

 

-152-

 

 

Holder, to act as a Certificateholder for purposes of delivering any Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice or Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice or otherwise to vote Certificates owned by it or such Affiliate(s) with respect to the course of action proposed or undertaken pursuant to the procedures described in Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.03(j).

 

(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 related 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 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)          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.

 

(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 related Mortgage Loan Seller (such provider, the “Arbitration 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 fifteen (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

 

-153-

 

 

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.

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 shall be promptly delivered to the parties.

With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement, the related Co-Lender Agreement shall control; 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 Co-Lender Agreement that would cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to violate the Servicing Standard or the REMIC Provisions.

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 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 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 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 Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major 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

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 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 RR 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, 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 RR 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.

 

(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 RR Interest Owners 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

Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall (i) no later than 30 days after the Closing Date and thereafter upon request, furnish to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer original powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit R-1 and Exhibit R-2, respectively, 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 and the Special Servicer original powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2, as applicable, 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, 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.

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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, 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.

If a letter of credit is required to be drawn upon earlier than the date the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has notified the provider of such letter of credit pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately 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 related 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 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 related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(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 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.

(iii)          Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) above, such provisions shall not be deemed to affect the priority of distributions of payments pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that such amounts are paid by a party other than a Mortgagor, such amounts shall be deemed to have been paid in respect of a purchase of all or part of the Mortgaged Property (in the case of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds) and then paid by the Mortgagor under the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, or in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii) above.

 

(c)         To the extent consistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loans (and, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, and the related Co-Lender Agreement) and applicable law, the Master Servicer shall apply all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds it receives on a day other than the Due Date to amounts due and owing under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan as if such Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds were received on the Due Date immediately succeeding the month in which Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds were received and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii) above.

-169-

 

 

that the Master Servicer will be receiving Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any Collection Period, the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and Certificate Administrator two (2) Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date. 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)        With respect to any Mortgage Loan in connection with which the Mortgagor was required to escrow funds or to post a letter of credit related to obtaining certain performance objectives described in the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, hold such escrows, letters of credit and proceeds thereof as additional collateral and not apply such items to reduce the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan, unless otherwise required to do so pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, applicable law or court order.

 

(f)         (A) Promptly following the Closing Date and, with respect to any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, promptly following receipt of written notice by the Certificate Administrator of the related Servicing Shift Securitization 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 Co-Lender Agreement and the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and (B) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Master Servicer or the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under each Co-Lender Agreement (together with the relevant contact information (to the extent the Certificate Administrator has received notice of such event and the relevant contact information)). 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.

 

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 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 RR 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 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 Loan documents, as applicable, or in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of

 

-170-

 

 

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 reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause

 

-171-

 

 

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 Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance

 

-172-

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners, 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 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 RR Interest Owners, all as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders, RR Interest Owners and Companion Holders constituted a single lender (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 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.

(a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial 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 applicable 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 applicable, on behalf of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners. 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) on behalf of the Trustee, shall maintain continuous physical possession of any Permitted Investment of amounts in the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, the Servicing Accounts, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or such 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 applicable, 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 Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account or any Servicing Account

maintained by or for the Master Servicer) or 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:

 

(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 Serviced Whole Loan Custodial 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 Master Servicer Remittance 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 applicable REO Account, 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 Master Servicer Remittance 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 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

 

-195-

 

 

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 Certificateholders 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 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 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 Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans); 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 Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) (i) with (in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan and unless a Control Termination Event is continuing) the consent of the Directing Holder and (ii) (other than an applicable Excluded

Loan) after consultation by the Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.08 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 is continuing and after consultation by the Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.08 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 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 RR Interest Owners, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion

 

-197-

 

 

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 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, (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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained following such determination (if made by the Master Servicer) or following notice of such determination (if made by the Special Servicer). 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 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 Holder or to consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.08, 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

 

-198-

 

 

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 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 RR 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 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

 

-199-

 

 

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 shall 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 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

 

-200-

 

 

hazard area, the Special Servicer will cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer 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-” by Fitch or “A-” by S&P, 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” 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, (A) the Special Servicer shall determine (with respect to any (1) Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or, (2) to the extent such action is a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than items listed under clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision”), any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)), and (B) the Master Servicer shall determine (with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent such action is not a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than items listed under clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision”, which items the Master Servicer shall determine)), in each case, 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, (i) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a Major Decision, prior to itself taking such an action, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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)(1) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event and (2) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (B) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, upon consultation with the Operating Advisor pursuant to Section 6.08), 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 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan relating to the Controlling Class Representative, 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 Companion Loan Rating Agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(a), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, that is processing the related action, 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

 

-202-

 

 

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 Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than items listed under clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision”), 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 in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent, 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 Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision. If such action with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is not a Special Servicer Non-Major 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.

 

(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:

(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, (A) the Special Servicer shall determine (with respect to (1) a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or, (2) to the extent such action is a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than items listed under clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision”), any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if applicable, is serviced under this Agreement), and (B) the Master Servicer shall determine (with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent such action is not a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than items listed under clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision”, which

Loan Rating Agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(a), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, that is processing the related action, as applicable, 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 and Companion Loan 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, that is processing the related action, 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 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 Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than items listed under clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision”), 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 in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent, 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 Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision. If such action with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is not a Special Servicer Non-Major 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 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 relating to any Mortgage Loan 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 Mortgage Loan or relating to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan without ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the consent of the Directing Holder (or (i) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof). The Directing Holder shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice along with the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s recommendation and analysis with respect to such proposed waiver or proposed granting of consent and any additional information the Directing Holder may reasonably request from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that is in the possession of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 Holder in writing within such period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver or consent).

 

(f)           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 Section 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

 

-206-

 

 

written notice to the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, with a copy of such notice to the Special Servicer. If the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then the Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, Section 3.24, subject to the Directing Holders’ and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties’ 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 Special Servicer 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 RR Interest Owners 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 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

 

-207-

 

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.

 

(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 RR 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 best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders) and the RR Interest Owners, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any related Companion Loan, 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 RR Interest Owners, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any related Companion Loan, 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

 

-208-

 

 

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 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 RR 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 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 each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement for which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller could be required to repurchase such Defaulted Loan pursuant to Section 6 of each 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 Parties pursuant to Section 6.08 (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 Parties, 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 Certificateholders 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). 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.

 

-209-

 

 

(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 Parties (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator 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 Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties (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.

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 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).

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 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 (in the case of a split fee with respect Penalty Charges, subject to certain limitations described in Section 3.02); 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 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.

Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of:

 

-215-

 

 

 (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d); (ii) beneficiary statement or demands (to the extent such beneficiary statements or demands are prepared by the Special Servicer); (iii) amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds related to the accounts held by the Special Servicer; and (iv) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the applicable 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 Master Servicer Remittance Date related to such Distribution Date). In addition, the Special 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 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 the 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.

 

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 (in the case of a split fee with respect to Penalty Charges, subject to the limitations described under Section 3.02); 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 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 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

 

-217-

 

 

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 (including 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.

 

If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan is being specially serviced on the related 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 Fees or Workout Fees and any additional servicing compensation as

(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 (2) 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.

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.

If the CREFC^® Schedule AL File is not provided by the date specified in the immediately preceding sentence, the Certificate Administrator shall request such CREFC^® Schedule AL File from the Master Servicer via email at NoticeAdmin@midlandls.com, with a copy to the Depositor at gs-refgsecuritization@gs.com. In preparing the CREFC^® Schedule AL File and any Schedule AL Additional File for any given Distribution Date, and without any due diligence, investigation or verification, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely, absent manifest error, on the content, completeness, accuracy and compliance with any applicable requirements of Items 1111(h) and 1125 of Regulation AB and Item 601(b) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act as in effect on the Closing Date of the Initial Schedule AL File, Initial Schedule AL Additional File and the Annex A-1 to the Prospectus. 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.

-223-

 

 

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.

 

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 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, 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

 

-224-

 

 

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, any Other Certificate Administrator, any Other Master Servicer, any Other Special Servicer and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, 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.

 

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 the RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR 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 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

 

-225-

 

 

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 any RR 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, RR 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 is a Certificateholder or an RR Interest Owner and a Privileged Person and 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 RR Interest Owners 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.

 

(b)          The Certificate Administrator shall make available to Privileged Persons (provided that the Prospectus, Distribution Date Statements, each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, this Agreement and the Commission EDGAR filings referred to below will be available to the general public) via the Certificate Administrator’s Website, the following items, in each case, to the extent such items were prepared by or delivered to the Certificate Administrator in electronic format:

The Certificate Administrator shall, in addition to posting the applicable notices on the “U.S. Risk Retention Special Notices” tab described above, provide email notification to any Privileged Person (other than Financial Market Publishers) that has registered to receive access to the Certificate Administrator’s Website that a notice has been posted to the “U.S. Risk Retention Special Notices” tab.

In addition, if the Depositor so directs the Certificate Administrator, and on terms acceptable to the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator shall make certain other information and reports related to the Mortgage Loans available through its Internet website.

In the case of the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, if any such Person becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, upon delivery to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in physical form of an investor certification substantially in the form Exhibit P-1E and upon delivery to the Certificate Administrator in physical form of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1F, which shall include each of the CTSLink User ID associated with such Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall be entitled to access all information (other than the Excluded 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

 

-230-

 

 

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). In the event the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder 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 P-1E that such party has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to the Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) listed in such notice and shall also provide the Certificate Administrator a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1F listing each of the CTSLink 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 P-1D 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 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 related Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s)) made available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. 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 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

 

-231-

 

 

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).

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

 

-238-

 

 

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, or a separate agent on behalf of the Certificateholders and the RR 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 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 or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor or result in the imposition of tax on the Grantor Trust. 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 RR 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 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 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

 

-239-

 

 

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 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) 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 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 RR Interest Owners and the related Companion Holders, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests or the Loan REMIC Regular Interest, as applicable) 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 RR 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 or the Loan REMIC Regular Interest, as applicable) 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

 

-240-

 

 

Section 860G(d) of the Code if it determines that earning such income is in the best interests of Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners 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;

 

(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

 

-241-

 

 

(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.

 

(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 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 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 Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners and the holder of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in such manner as will be reasonably likely to maximize the value of the Defaulted Loan on a net present value basis, 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 the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners and any holder of a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners 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 a 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 Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the Special Servicer will be

 

-243-

 

 

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 is continuing and (ii) after consulting with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.08) 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 RR Interest Owners, 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 Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties 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 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 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 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

 

-244-

 

 

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 Parties subject to the limitations on consultation set forth in 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 Co-Lender Agreement), that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest Owners 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 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

 

-245-

 

 

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 Parties, 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.

 

(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 RR Interest Owners 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

 

-246-

 

 

the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners 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, the Asset Representations Reviewer 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, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust or any Certificateholder, the RR Interest Owners or related Companion Holder (if applicable) with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

 

-247-

 

 

(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 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 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 Parties) 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 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

 

-248-

 

 

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 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. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, any sale of a Serviced AB Whole Loan that is a Defaulted 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 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 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.

 

-249-

 

 

(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 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).

 

-250-

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest Owners. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders or the RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest Owners 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 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

(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 Section 3.08(b) and subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to Section 3.18 or Section 3.20(a) if any such waiver, modification or amendment constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-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).

the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan, which such Mortgage Loan provides for Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations in the related Mortgage 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. Until such time as the related Mortgage Loan Seller 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 shall be delivered to the related Mortgage Loan Seller at its address for notices set forth in Section 13.05 below. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to defeasance, if the successor borrower is not designated or formed by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or any Affiliate or successor thereto, the successor borrower shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

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 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).

If within ten (10) Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Directing Holder 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 Holder (communicated to the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners (taken as a collective whole), 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 applicable Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder 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 Holder (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor 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 procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “Directing Holder Approval Process”. The Special Servicer may, from time to

 

-265-

 

 

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(c). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan related to the Controlling Class Representative, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the related Excluded Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with an Asset Status Report for an applicable Excluded Loan which includes a 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.

 

No direction or disapproval of the Directing Holder hereunder or under a related Co-Lender Agreement or failure of the Directing Holder 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 Mortgage 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.

 

For so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor after the completion of the Directing Holder Approval Process. In addition, the Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor of whether any Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor is a Final Asset Status Report, which notification may be satisfied by (i) delivery of an Asset Status Report that is either signed by the Directing Holder or that otherwise includes an indication that such Asset Status Report is deemed approved due to the passage of any required consent or consultation time period or (ii) such other method as reasonably agreed to by the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer.

 

While a Control Termination Event is continuing, 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 extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are Holders of the Controlling Class Certificates) and the RR Interest Owners, as a collective whole. The Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action on a non-binding basis, if any, and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder) in connection with the Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report that is provided while a Control Termination Event is continuing. 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 if no Consultation

 

-266-

 

 

Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Holder), to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or Controlling Class Representative’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners as a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interest of the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners and the holder of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of such Companion Loan)). If the Special Servicer determines to revise any Asset Status Report to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Operating Advisor and the Directing Holder 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.”

 

During the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.19. During the continuance of a Control Termination Event but for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, each of the Directing Holder (except with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) and, during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor, shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer (in person or remotely via electronic, telephonic or other mutually agreeable communication) and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. After the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), the Directing Holder (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 send the Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor and 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 Holder during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder.

 

The Special Servicer shall implement the Final Asset Status Report.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall prepare an Asset Status Report for any Serviced AB Whole Loan, upon it becoming a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement and for so long as no AB Control Appraisal Period is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative 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 Co-Lender Agreement.

 

(e)            (i) Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of the events described in clause (v) and (vii) 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

 

-267-

 

 

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.

(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 Mortgage Loan (other than any applicable Excluded Loan), the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format to the Directing Holder 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 Asset Status Report with respect to an AB Mortgage Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period (to the extent approved by the related AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder), to the Directing Holder). With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded 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 Holder 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 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 RR 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 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

 

-268-

 

 

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 refrain from taking any action because of any proposal, objection or comment by the Operating Advisor or, during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder, or a recommendation of the Operating Advisor or, during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder.

 

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 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 RR 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 Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, as applicable, any successor master servicer or any Certificateholder or the RR Interest Owners (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

 

-269-

 

 

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 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.

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 RR Interest Owners, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners or the Trust) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing

 

-270-

 

 

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 a 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 RR Interest Owners in accordance with 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 RR 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)        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 a Mortgage Loan 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 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.

 

(j)         Notwithstanding anything herein, each of the initial Master Servicer and the initial Special Servicer may delegate certain of its duties and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Such delegation shall not be considered a sub-servicing agreement hereunder, and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to sub-servicing agreements, sub-servicers or Servicing Function Participants shall not be applicable to such arrangement. Notwithstanding any such delegation, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans as required hereby.

 

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, the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties; Certain Rights and Powers of Directing Holder and Risk Retention Consultation Parties.  (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 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 execute and 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, each 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 any existing Risk Retention Consultation Party, any successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall execute and 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.

 

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 RR Interest Owners 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

 

-273-

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless an RR Interest Owner shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor, in writing, of the selection of a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

 

(b)       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 Parties.

 

(c)       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.

 

(d)       Upon request, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, 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, (i) LD III Holdco I, L.P.,

 

-274-

 

 

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 (ii) GSMC, CREFI, DBNY and JPMCB shall be the initial Risk Retention Consultation Parties 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 Parties.

 

(e)       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.

 

(f)       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 RR Interest Owners; (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 of the Holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the other Certificateholders or RR Interest Owners; 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) each Risk Retention Consultation Party may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) each Risk Retention Consultation Party may act solely in the interest of a VRR Interest Owners; (iii) each Risk Retention Consultation Party does not have any liability or duties to the Certificateholders; (iv) each Risk Retention Consultation Party may take actions that favor interests of the Certificateholders of one or more classes or the RR Interest Owners over the interests of the Certificateholders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) each Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to the related VRR Interest Owners) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against a Risk Retention Consultation Party or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of a Risk Retention Consultation Party for having so acted.

 

(g)       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 Whole Loan

 

-275-

 

 

or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection (g) shall in any way eliminate the obligation to deliver any information required to be delivered under the related Co-Lender Agreement.

 

(h)       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 Parties and any AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder.

 

(i)        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.

 

(j)        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.

 

(k)       [Reserved].

 

(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 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 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 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

 

-276-

 

 

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.”

 

With respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder (or, if the Directing Holder is the Controlling Class Representative, any Controlling Class Certificateholder) will not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to the servicing of such Excluded Loan and a Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Excluded Loan.

 

Each 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 such party.

 

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 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

 

-277-

 

 

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 consult with a new Risk Retention Consultation Party or a new Controlling Class Certificateholder unless the Certificate Administrator has delivered notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as required under Section 3.23(d) 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 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 Controlling Class Representative or a 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 a 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 a 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

 

-278-

 

 

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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 Master Servicer or 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 non-binding consultation rights of the related Companion Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, such Master Servicer or 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 such Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners and the related Companion Holder. In no event shall the Master Servicer or 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 non-binding 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 Co-Lender Agreement such that the monthly

 

-279-

 

 

remittance to the holder of the related Companion Loan is required earlier than two (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 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) 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, (ii) KBRA has not publicly 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 commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency or (iii) it is listed on S&P’s Select Servicer List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage

 

-280-

 

 

Master Servicer or U.S. Commercial Mortgage Special Servicer, as applicable, if S&P 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.

 

(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 17g-5 Information Provider under this Agreement for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s 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 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.

The Operating Advisor shall perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard.

 

In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, although the Operating Advisor may have certain consultation duties with the Master Servicer with respect to certain Major Decisions processed by the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor will have no obligations or responsibility at any time to review or assess the actions of the Master Servicer for compliance with the Servicing Standard, and the Operating Advisor will not be required to consider such Master Servicer actions in connection with any Operating Advisor Annual Report.

 

(b)       The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as, or otherwise appearing on its face to be “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.

(c)       (i) During the continuance of a Control Termination Event, based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance report, any attestation report, any Major Decision Reporting Package, and/or Asset Status Report, any 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, any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) was a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) deliver to the Special Servicer, 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 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), and setting forth the Operating Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties pursuant to this Agreement during the prior calendar year on an Asset-Level Basis with respect to the resolution and/or liquidation of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that the Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement; 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; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall prepare a separate Operating Advisor Annual Report relating to the Excluded Special Servicer and any Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s) serviced by such Excluded Special Servicer. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, 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 Mortgage 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 Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions). In preparing the Operating Advisor Annual Report, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to (i) 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 accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard, to be immaterial or (ii) provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion. 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 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 Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be required from the Operating Advisor with respect to the Special Servicer, if during the prior calendar year, no Final Asset Status Report was prepared by the Special Servicer in connection with a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (i) the Operating Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance shall be based on the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) so long as LNR Partners, LLC is acting as Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall provide the Operating Advisor reasonable access, at the Special Servicer’s offices during normal business hours, to the Special Servicer’s policies and procedures. The Operating Advisor’s assessment may not take into account the fact that the Operating Advisor did not have access to the LNR Partners, LLC written policies and procedures or that such access was limited. The Operating Advisor shall be permitted to review the policies and procedures but shall not be permitted to retain hard copies and will not be provided with any electronic copies or soft copies. The Operating Advisor shall keep all information contained in the policies and procedures strictly confidential, except (A) the Operating Advisor may disclose such information if (i) such information becomes generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the Operating Advisor, or (ii) such disclosure is required by applicable law, rule, order or regulation (as demonstrated by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Special Servicer) and (B) the Operating Advisor may disclose a particular portion of the policies and procedures solely when necessary to support specific conclusions (i) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report, or (ii) in connection with a recommendation by the Operating Advisor to replace LNR Partners, LLC as the Special Servicer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor will be permitted to share such information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor to the extent reasonably necessary to perform the Operating Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement and provided such Operating Advisor affiliate and subcontractors agree in writing prior to receiving such information to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor. Nothing set forth herein shall limit or affect the scope of the Operating Advisor’s review in connection with its preparation of the Operating Advisor Annual Report, provided that the Operating Advisor’s access to or reliance upon LNR Partners, LLC’s written policies and procedures shall be subject to the terms of the immediately preceding sentence. This paragraph shall not apply with respect to any Special Servicer other than LNR Partners, LLC or an affiliate of LNR Partners, LLC.

 

(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

 

-284-

 

 

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 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)       Other than during continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall 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 Mortgage Loan to the Operating Advisor after such calculations have 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, then the Operating Advisor shall notify the Special Servicer and the Directing Holder of such error).

 

(e)       (i) During the continuance of a Control Termination Event, 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 the Special Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Special Servicer 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 and, in the case of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, only to the extent the Master Servicer has provided such information to the Special Servicer), 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 five (5) 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 in any material respect, the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement 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

 

-285-

 

 

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).

 

(f)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Operating Advisor’s review of Appraisal Reduction Amount or net present value calculations as required above, the Operating Advisor’s recalculation shall not take into account the reasonableness of the Special Servicer’s property and borrower performance assumptions or other similar discretionary portions of the net present value calculation or Appraisal Reduction calculation.

 

(g)       The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all information appropriately labeled as, or otherwise appearing on its face to be, “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 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 Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any applicable Excluded Loan) 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 Master Servicer 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.

 

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 processing the Major Decision shall use 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 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.

 

(j)        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

 

-287-

 

 

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, the RR Interest Owners 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, RR Interest Owners and beneficial owner of Certificates may access any notices posted on the “special notices” and on the “U.S. Risk Retention Special Notices” tabs on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and each Certificateholder, RR Interest Owners and beneficial owner of Certificates may register to receive email notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Certificate Administrator will be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders and RR Interest Owners for the reasonable expenses of posting notices of such requests. In addition, in the event there are no Classes of Certificates outstanding or interests in the Trust other than the Control Eligible Certificates, the VRR Interest, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates, then all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor hereunder 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 accrued and unpaid compensation) 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.

 

(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 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 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

(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 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.

 

(m)      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.

 

(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 and the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, 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.

 

(o)       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.

 

-289-

 

 

(p)       The parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners by their acceptance of their Certificates or RR 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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest Owners, and (iv) the Operating Advisor does not constitute an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(q)       The Operating Advisor 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 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.

 

(r)       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 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.

 

-290-

 

 

(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 Companion Loan that has been included in an Other Securitization shall be provided to the Other Servicer (which, unless required by the related Co-Lender 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.

Section 3.32    Certain Matters with Respect to Joint Mortgage Loans.  (a) If a Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan (a “Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller”) repurchases the Mortgage Note(s) (as such term is defined in this Section 3.32(a)) (a “Repurchased Note”) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, but the other Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan does not repurchase the Mortgage Note(s) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, the provisions of this Section 3.32 shall apply prior to the adoption, pursuant to Section 13.01(l), of any amendment to this Agreement that provides otherwise. Each Mortgage Loan Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan has agreed pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that the terms set forth in this Section 3.32 with respect to the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan shall apply if one or more of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan has been repurchased from the Trust and at least one other Mortgage Note related to such Joint Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust until such time as all of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan are no longer included in the Trust. For purposes of this Section 3.32, Section 13.01(l) and Section 13.08(a) only, “Mortgage Note” shall mean with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each original promissory note that collectively represents the Mortgage Note (as defined in Article I) with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and shall not be a collective reference to such promissory notes. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, clauses (b)–(j) below shall not apply, and the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement shall continue to govern the relationship between the related Mortgage Notes as if each related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, as applicable. With respect to any other Joint Mortgage Loan, clauses (b)–(j) below shall apply to such Joint Mortgage Loan.

 

(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 or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Non-Serviced Custodian as provided under the related Non-Serviced Pooling 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 with each other, 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 applicable Master Servicer and shall be applied upon receipt by such Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.32(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 applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee by the applicable 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 3.32(b)(ii). If any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.32 applies becomes an REO Loan, payments or any other amounts received with respect to any such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be collected and shall be applied upon receipt by the applicable Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.32(b)(ii). Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan subject to this Section 3.32 shall be allocated to each related Mortgage Note pro rata based upon the respective unpaid principal balances thereof.

 

(ii)       If the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives an aggregate payment of less than the aggregate amount due under any such Joint Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall receive from such Master Servicer an amount equal to its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such payment. All expenses, losses and shortfalls relating solely to such Joint Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, losses of principal or interest, Nonrecoverable Advances, interest on Servicing Advances, 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 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 that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.32 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 (or related Serviced Whole 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 applicable Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor as servicer, special servicer or operating advisor, respectively,

All rights of the mortgagee under each such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be exercised by the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trust to the extent of its interest therein and the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(iv)       With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.32 applies, 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. Funds collected by the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and applied to the applicable Mortgage Notes shall be deposited and disbursed in accordance with the provisions hereof relating to holders of promissory notes comprising Serviced Whole Loans that are pari passu in right of payment. Compensation shall be paid to the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable 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 3.32 applies is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then any related Repurchased Note shall also be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall cause such related Repurchased Note to be specially serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing 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 payable to such Special Servicer under this Agreement as with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

(d)       If (A) the applicable 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 such Master Servicer, then the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly on demand by such Master Servicer return such amount to such Master Servicer. If such Master Servicer determines at any time that any amount received or collected by such Master Servicer in respect of any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.32 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, such 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 such Master Servicer repay (which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement) any portion thereof that

 

-296-

 

 

such Master Servicer shall have distributed to such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Master Servicer may pay to the related Mortgagor or such other person or entity with respect thereto.

 

(e)       With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.32 applies, 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 applicable 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 applicable 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 3.32, 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 applicable 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 that are not Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and to which this Section 3.32 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 applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has made a Servicing Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note which would otherwise be reimbursable to such advancing party under this Agreement, and such Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the applicable Repurchasing 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 applicable 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 applicable 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.

(h)       Each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the right to assign the related Repurchased Note; provided that, with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.32 applies, the assignee of the related Repurchased Note shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

 

(i)        With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.32 applies, the applicable Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, in connection with their servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement, exercise efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to execute and deliver, on behalf of each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller as a holder of a pari passu interest in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan, any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents and instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage or other security document related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to or with respect to the related Joint Mortgage Loan documents, and any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments with respect to the related Repurchased Note or related Repurchased Notes and the related Mortgaged Property all in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement.

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 Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents (“Loan-Related Litigation”).

The Operating Advisor shall not be required to review the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to Loan-Related Litigation unless such review is otherwise related to the performance of the Operating Advisors duties, rights and obligations in respect of a Final Asset Status Report and/or Asset Status Report.

 

(b)       With respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and to the extent the Master Servicer is named in the 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 subsection, 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 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 such lawsuit, consult with, and take direction from, the Special Servicer with respect to material decisions and material monetary settlements related to the interests of the Trust in such Loan-Related Litigation, including but not limited to the selection of counsel.

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 Serviced Companion Noteholders, the Special Servicer may take such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response.

 

(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 Directing Holder (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 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 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.

None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable or held responsible for any resulting delay in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders solely on the basis of the actions described in the preceding sentence.

 

(c)       [Reserved].

 

(d)       On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of principal or reimbursement of Realized Losses in an amount equal to the amount of principal or reimbursement of Realized Losses actually distributable to the Holders of the respective Related Certificates or the RR Interest Owners 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 the RR Interest Balance of the RR Interest, as applicable. 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 VRR Interest Distribution Amount, as applicable, in respect of its Related Certificates or VRR Interest, plus a pro rata portion of the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of (i) in the case of the Class LA1 Uncertificated Interest, Class LA2 Uncertificated Interest, Class LA3 Uncertificated Interest, Class LA4 Uncertificated Interest, Class LA5 Uncertificated Interest, Class LASB Uncertificated Interest and Class LAS Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-A Certificates, (ii) in the case of the Class LB Uncertificated Interest and LC Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-B Certificates, (iii) in the case of the Class LD Uncertificated Interest and Class LE Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-D Certificates, (iv) in the case of the Class LF Uncertificated Interest, to

the Class X-F Certificates, (v) in the case of the Class LG Uncertificated Interest, to the Class X-G Certificates, and (vi) in the case of the Class LH Uncertificated Interest, to the Class X-H 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 the RR Interest Balance of the RR Interest with respect thereto, as adjusted for the allocation of Realized Losses, as provided in Section 4.04. 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 Aggregate 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 Non-VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to such Classes, if available, will be distributed to the Holders of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-S Certificates), pro rata based on their respective Certificate Balances.

 

(f)       (i) On any Distribution Date, the VRR Percentage of any Yield Maintenance Charge collected on the Mortgage Loans as of the related Determination Date shall be distributed to the VRR Interest Owners, pro rata based upon the aggregate amount of principal distributed in respect of the Class RR Certificates and the RR Interest, and the Non-VRR Percentage of any Yield Maintenance Charge collected on the Mortgage Loans as of the related Determination Date shall be distributed to Holders of the Classes of Non-VRR Certificates as follows: (a) pro rata, between (i) the group (“YM Group A”) of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 Class A-SB, Class X-A and Class A-S Certificates, (ii) the group (“YM Group B”) of the Class X-B Certificates, the Class B Certificates and the Class C Certificates and (iii) the group (together with YM Group A and YM Group B, the “YM Groups”) of the Class X-D Certificates, the Class D Certificates and the Class E Certificates based upon the aggregate amount of principal distributed to the Holders of 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

 

-309-

 

 

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 aggregate amount 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 to the applicable classes of Principal Balance Certificates will be distributed to the Holders of 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)       No Yield Maintenance Charges shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class S or Class R Certificates. After the Distribution Date on which the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B 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-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero, the Non-VRR Percentage of all Yield Maintenance Charges collected with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be distributed pro rata to the Holders of the Class F, Class G and Class H Certificates (based on their respective Certificate Balances) and the VRR Percentage of all Yield Maintenance Charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed pro rata to the VRR Interest Owners.

 

(iii)       All distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges made in respect of the respective Classes of Regular Certificates or the VRR 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 related Loan REMIC to the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of the related Loan REMIC Regular Interest, if applicable, and then 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 (i) amounts from the Non-VRR 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 Principal Balance 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 Non-VRR Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to them and unreimbursed after application of the Non-VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date, and (ii) from the VRR 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

 

-310-

 

 

Interest Owners (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests) up to an amount equal to all VRR Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to the VRR Interest and unreimbursed after application of the VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date. Amounts paid from the Non-VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account or the VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account will not reduce the Certificate Balances of the Classes of Certificates receiving such distributions or the RR Interest Balance, as applicable. Any amounts remaining (1) in the Non-VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions shall be held and applied to offset future Non-VRR Realized Losses with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates and related Non-VRR Realized Losses in each case allocable to the Non-VRR Certificates and (2) in the VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions shall be held and applied to offset future VRR Realized Losses with respect to the VRR Interest. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Non-VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the VRR 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 RR Interest (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate or the RR Interest, as applicable) 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 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.

RR Interest (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Certificates or RR Interest (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any amount of VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the RR 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 RR 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 RR 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 Non-VRR Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the Non-VRR Certificates or the VRR 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 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 Non-VRR 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

 

-312-

 

 

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.

Excess Interest will not be available to pay any other amounts except for distributions on the Class S Certificates and the VRR Interest set forth in the prior sentence. The Class S Certificates and the VRR Interest shall be entitled to such distributions of Excess Interest notwithstanding any reduction of their related Certificate Balance or VRR Interest Balance, as applicable, to zero.

 

(l)        Each Loan REMIC Regular Interest’s share of all payments made on the related Mortgage Loan (other than any Excess Interest, Default Interest and amounts distributable to the related Loan REMIC Residual Interest in accordance with the related REMIC Declaration) shall be deemed to be paid at the time payments are made under the related Mortgage Loan (in the case of interest, at the Mortgage Rate of such Mortgage Loan) and then deposited in the Lower-Tier REMIC by the Certificate Administrator before payments are made to the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, and shall be treated as principal, interest and Yield Maintenance Charges, as the case may be, based on these characterizations with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or related REO Property), except where expressly noted and, in addition, any payment of principal on or reduction in the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan shall reduce the principal balance of the related Loan REMIC Regular Interest. Any portion of the Aggregate Available Funds attributable to such Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to withdrawals of funds pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(i) through Section 3.05(a)(xxiii) shall be distributable to the Class R Certificates in respect of amounts distributed on the Loan REMIC Residual Interest from the Loan REMIC Residual Distribution Account. Servicing Fees, Trustee Fees and Operating Advisor Fees with respect to these Mortgage Loans shall be deemed paid by the Lower-Tier REMIC in determining the Net Mortgage Rate of the related Loan REMIC Regular Interest, and all other servicing compensation or unanticipated expenses with respect to such Mortgage Loans payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor shall be deemed payable by the related Loan REMIC.

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 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 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.

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 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).

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.

In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Holder or a Controlling 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).

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. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee make a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, then it shall provide written notice to the related Other Servicer, Other Trustee, Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee, as applicable, 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.

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 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 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.

 

(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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer shall make P&I Advances on the basis of the original terms of any Mortgage Loan, including Mortgage Loans subject to forbearance agreements or other temporary deferrals or payment accommodations, unless (a) the terms of the Mortgage Loan have been permanently modified to change or forgive a monetary obligation or (b) such advance has been determined to be non-recoverable.

 

(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, Excess Interest, Balloon Payments or any advance with respect to a Periodic Payment 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 of any Non-VRR Realized Losses. 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 Non-VRR Realized Losses, if any, allocable to such Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date. Any such write-off shall be

 

-323-

 

 

allocated first, to the Class H Certificates, then, to the Class G Certificates, then, to the Class F Certificates, then, to the Class E Certificates, then, to the Class D Certificates, then, to the Class C Certificates, then, to the Class B Certificates, then, 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, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates, in each case until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates have been reduced to zero.

 

Any allocation of Non-VRR Realized Losses to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Non-VRR Realized Losses so allocated to a Class of Principal Balance 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 Non-VRR 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 the same sequential order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(b), in each case up to the amount of the unreimbursed Non-VRR Realized Losses allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates. In the event that the amount of any subsequent recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances is added to the Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount and the Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates, the amount of any Non-VRR Realized Losses allocated to such Class will be reduced by the amount of such recovery that was added to the Certificate Balance of such Class.

 

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 of any VRR Realized Losses and shall allocate (i) the RRI Percentage of such VRR Realized Losses to the RR Interest by reducing the RR Interest Balance by the amount so allocated and (ii) the remainder of such VRR Realized Losses to the Class RR Certificates by reducing the VRR Interest Balance of such Class. 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 VRR Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be added to the VRR Interest Balance of the RR Interest and the Class RR Certificates that previously were allocated VRR Realized Losses, up to the amount of the unreimbursed VRR Realized Losses allocated to the VRR Interest. Any such allocations or recoveries will be deemed allocated to the Class LRR Uncertificated Interest and the LRI Uncertificated Interest such that, at all times, the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Class RR Certificates will equal the VRR Interest Balance of the Class RR Certificates and the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the LRI Uncertificated Interest will equal the VRR Interest Balance of the RR Interest.

 

-324-

 

 

(b)       With respect to any Distribution Date, any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the VRR Interest pursuant to Section 4.04(a) 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 is continuing) and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes 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 Principal Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest as described below in this Section 4.05(a). 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(l). 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. 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 four (4) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s reasonable request. 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 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. None of the

 

-325-

 

 

Master Servicer (with respect to Mortgage Loans other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Special Servicer (with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), 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, the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, and the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to a Mortgage Loan shall be allocated as follows: (i) the Non-VRR Percentage of any such Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to the Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until the related Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class H Certificates, then, to the Class G Certificates, then, to the Class F Certificates, then, to the Class E Certificates, then, to the Class D Certificates, then, to the 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 Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates), and (ii) the VRR Percentage of any such Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to the VRR Interest, pro rata based on their respective VRR Interest Balances. In addition, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, the Non-VRR Percentage of any Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to a Mortgage Loan that is an AB Modified Loan shall 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 the Class H Certificates, then, to the Class G Certificates, then, to the Class F Certificates, and finally, to the Class E 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 the Non-VRR Percentage of 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 (in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Master Servicer (in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall promptly notify the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, 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 shall promptly post notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and any 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

 

-326-

 

 

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) or Serviced Whole Loan, such 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). 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.

 

(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 and (for Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) or Serviced Whole Loans) receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.05(a) or Section 4.05(c). 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 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 or Serviced Whole 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

 

-327-

 

 

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 next 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) or Serviced Whole 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 calculate or recalculate, 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, 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

 

-328-

 

 

Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the Master Servicer. 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 has no knowledge of any material change to the related Mortgaged Property having occurred and affecting the validity of such Appraisal or valuation. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount.

 

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, 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, 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 is continuing, such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan will no longer be subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount and the related Appraisal Reduction Event shall cease to exist. 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

 

-329-

 

 

balance is notionally reduced to zero by such Appraisal Reduction Amounts) and second, pro rata to the related AB 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.

 

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 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 S 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 1099, Form 1041 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 S Certificates or the VRR Interest Owners, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to Class S Certificates or the VRR Interest, as applicable, the Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.

 

(b)        The Grantor Trust will not be treated as a WHFIT that is a WHMT so long as the Class S Certificates, Class R Certificates and Class RR Certificates are not treated as held through a “middleman” for federal income tax purposes. If the Grantor Trust is treated as 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. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the first 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 the first sentence of this paragraph is incorrect.

 

(c)         The Certificate Administrator shall report required WHFIT information using the 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

 

-330-

 

 

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 S Certificate and a Class RR Certificate, 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 S Certificate or a Class RR Certificate, 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.

 

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, the RR Interest Owners 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 Section 3.13(b), 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 (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: 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.

In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Certificate Administrator may establish any number of subaccounts to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for the Holders of the Class RR Certificates. The Class RR Certificates to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein.

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.

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.

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.

(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 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 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) or 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 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 will 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, where the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law). 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 above. The costs of any of the foregoing representation letters 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 Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust. Each Certificate Owner of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not a Person specified in clause (A) or (B) of the first sentence of this Section 5.03(m). 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)       No Class R Certificate, Class S Certificate or any VRR 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 (including 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, Class S Certificate or any VRR Interest. Each prospective Transferee of a Class R Certificate, Class S Certificate or any 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. 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 any 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 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.

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 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

 

-346-

 

 

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)      (i) At all times during the Transfer Restriction Period, if a Transfer of the Class RR 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) each of the following, sent to the Certificate Registrar and with a copy to each of the Retaining Sponsor and counsel at the addresses provided in Section 13.05: (A) Exhibit D-7 from the Holder of the applicable Class RR Certificates instructing the Certificate Registrar of its intentions to release its Class RR Certificates Certificate from the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, and to Transfer such Class RR Certificate, (B) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-5, (C) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-6, (D) a W-9 completed by the Transferee and (E) wire instructions and contact information of the Transferee. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.01(c) and Section 5.03, facilitate the Transfer of the Class RR Certificate and reflect the Class RR Certificates in the name of the prospective Transferee and shall deliver written confirmation to the Transferee with a copy via email to each of the Retaining Sponsor and Transferor, of such Transfer and the safekeeping of such Class RR Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit TT attached hereto.

 

(ii) After the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a Transfer of the Class RR 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) each of the following: (A) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-5 and (B) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-6. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Class RR Certificate be held as a Book-Entry Certificate with a balance in excess of $0 at any time prior to the expiration of the Transfer Restriction Period.

 

(q)       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners and other payees of interest or original issue discount that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code.

 

-347-

 

 

The consent of Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or payees shall not be required for such withholding, and the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest Owners 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.

An RR Interest Owner, if it wishes to transfer its related portion of the RR Interest, shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing of such transfer and identify the new RR Interest Owner. The Certificate Administrator shall register the ownership of the RR Interest on a registry of ownership maintained by the Certificate Administrator. Any transfer of the RR Interest or a portion thereof (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 an RR Interest has executed and delivered to the Certificate Administrator a certification in the form of Exhibit D-4 hereto and (ii) the transferee of an RR Interest has executed and delivered to the Certificate Administrator a certification in the form of Exhibit D-3 hereto, which certification shall include 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 RR 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 an RR Interest Owner, or (ii) in the case of any subsequent transferee, such Person is identified as being an RR Interest Owner on the ownership registry. The Certificate Administrator, the other parties to this Agreement and the Certificateholders shall be entitled to treat the RR Interest Owners (in the case of any subsequent RR 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 RR Interest on the part of any other Person. Any transfer of an interest in the RR Interest that is not in compliance with this Section 5.03(r) or Section 5.03(n) shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law.

 

(s)         The Sponsors represent, and any subsequent RR Interest Owners shall be deemed by virtue of its acceptance of the RR Interest to represent, to the Trust and the Certificate Administrator (for the benefit of the borrowers) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person.

The Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to an RR Interest Owner in respect of the RR Interest or otherwise until the RR Interest Owners shall have furnished to the Certificate Administrator the forms, certificates, statements or documents required by this Section 5.03(s).

 

(t)          Each purchaser of Certificates that is a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) or is acting on behalf of or using the assets of an ERISA Plan will be deemed to have represented and warranted that (i) none of the Depositor, the issuing entity, the Sponsors, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any of their respective affiliated entities, has provided any investment recommendation or investment advice on which the ERISA Plan or the fiduciary making the investment decision for the ERISA Plan has relied in connection with the decision to acquire Certificates, and they are not otherwise acting as a fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA or Section 4975(e)(3) of the Code) to the ERISA Plan in connection with the ERISA Plan’s acquisition of Certificates (except where an exemption is available (all of the conditions of which are satisfied) to cover the purchase and holding of the Certificates or the transaction is not otherwise prohibited) and (ii) the fiduciary making the decision to acquire the Certificates is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the investment in the 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.

Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, 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 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 from time to time upon request therefor.

(b)         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 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. 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.

 

(c)         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.

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 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 Holders 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 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.

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

(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 the RR Interest Owners 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.

 

(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; provided that such indemnity shall not cover indirect or consequential damages.

Upon any termination (as

 

-366-

 

 

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 Holder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. 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; provided, however, that rights in respect of indemnification, entitlement to be paid any outstanding servicing or special servicing compensation and entitlement to reimbursement of amounts due, including Advances and interest thereon, will survive such resignation under this Agreement. 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 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, a Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor), is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders, the RR 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 Directing Holder’s

 

-370-

 

 

response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Parties 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. Similarly, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to any related Mortgaged Property, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Directing Holder if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of any related Serviced Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate nature of each Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer is required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative for any of the foregoing actions 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 is continuing, but for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to obtain the consent of the Directing Holder with respect to any of the Major Decisions or Asset Status Reports, but shall 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from the Directing Holder within ten (10) days following the Master Servicer’s or 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 applicable 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 related Servicing Shift Securitization Date.

Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision, 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 in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent, the Special Servicer shall process such request and the Master Servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or the related Special Servicer Major Decision.

 

With respect to any Mortgagor request or other action on Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans that is not a Special Servicer Non-Major 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 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 this Section 6.08 may require or cause the Master Servicer or 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

 

-372-

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners.

 

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 or a 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 Parties, 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 Holder or the Operating Advisor or 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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest Owners, 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 RR Interest Owners, 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 RR Interest Owners, 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 RR Interest Owner may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Holder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

 

Each 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 each Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be protected against any liability to the VRR Interest Owners that appointed such Risk Retention Consultation Party that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties owed to such VRR Interest Owners or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to such VRR Interest Owners. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that each Risk

 

-373-

 

 

Retention Consultation Party may take actions that favor the interests of the VRR Interest over the Certificates, and that each Risk Retention Consultation Party may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of the Non-VRR Certificates, that each Risk Retention Consultation Party may act solely in the interests of a VRR Interest Owners, that each Risk Retention Consultation Party does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of Non-VRR Certificates, that each Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be liable to any Holder of a Non-VRR Certificate, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of a VRR Interest Owners, and that each Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Holder of a Non-VRR Certificate may take any action whatsoever against a 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 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) 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) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder 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 (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 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.

 

-374-

 

 

For so long as a Control Termination Event is continuing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that is processing the related Major Decision shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor simultaneously with the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s written request, as applicable, for the Operating Advisor’s input regarding the related Major Decision (which written request and Major Decision Reporting Package may be delivered in one notice), as set forth under Section 6.08. During the continuance of a Control Termination 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall make available to the Operating Advisor a Servicing Officer with the 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.

 

In addition, if a Control Termination Event is continuing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision that it is processing (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 Master Servicer or 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 that is in possession of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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, however, 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 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, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the related Excluded 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 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that action is necessary to protect the Mortgaged 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 the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the Mortgaged 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 Master Servicer or the Special

 

-375-

 

 

Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative, as applicable.

 

In addition, (i) for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, 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 the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any applicable Excluded Loan), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer will also be required to consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties 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 Parties pursuant to this Agreement) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the Risk Retention Consultation Parties 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 a Risk Retention Consultation Party within 10 days following the later of (i) the Master Servicer’s or 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 Parties related to the subject matter of such consultation, 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, however, that the failure of a Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond shall not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, using reasonable efforts to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan.

 

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.

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 applicable REO Account (if it is the Affected Party) or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall, if terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b) or pursuant to Section 7.01(d) (with respect to the Special Servicer), 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, whether in respect of Advances (in the case of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer) or otherwise, and it and its Affiliates and the directors, managers, officers, members, employees and agents of it and its Affiliates shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.11 and Section 6.04 notwithstanding any such termination).

(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), (ix) or (x), 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 6.05 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

 

-380-

 

 

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 the 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, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations from each Companion Loan Rating Agency.

 

(d)         Subject to the right of the Operating Advisor to recommend the termination of the Special Servicer and recommend a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and the right of the Certificateholders to approve the replacement of the Special Servicer with such Qualified Replacement Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01(d), and subject to the rights of the holder of a related AB Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement at any time prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder 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 (provided that LNR Partners may not be replaced without cause as long as LNR Securities Holdings LLC, or an Affiliate, owns at least 25% of the then Controlling Class), 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); provided that, with respect to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the ten (10) Business Days’ notice set forth in this Section 7.01(d) shall not apply, and any applicable notice period set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement shall apply to the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder’s right to terminate the Special Servicer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement without cause with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement. 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, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency delivers Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation 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.

 

During the continuance of a Control Termination Event and upon (a) the written direction of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates and/or the Class RR 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 hereof) of the Principal Balance Certificates and the Class RR Certificates on an aggregate basis requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction, (b) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the

 

-381-

 

 

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), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders and the RR 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 Certificateholders in such regard, which requisite affirmative votes shall be received within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice. Upon the written direction of Holders evidencing at least 75% of a Quorum of Voting Rights or Holders evidencing more than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights of each Class 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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest Owners’ 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, for so long as no AB Control Appraisal Period is continuing, 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-

 

-382-

 

 

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 Non-Serviced Special Servicer 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.

 

During the continuance of a Control Termination Event, if 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 RR Interest Owners 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 shall 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 RR Interest Owners 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 of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates and/or Class RR Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a Quorum (which, this purpose is the Holders that (A) evidence at least 20% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances) of all Principal Balance Certificates and Class RR Certificates on an aggregate basis) and (B) consist of at least three (3) Certificateholders or Certificate Owners that are not 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

 

-383-

 

 

in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within one hundred eighty (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. In the event the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(d), the Directing Holder may not subsequently reappoint such terminated Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof. 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.

 

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), (ix), (x) or (xi) 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), (ix), (x) or (xi).

 

(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 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 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; provided that such Sub-Servicer meets the eligibility requirements of a successor master servicer as described under Section 6.05 and Section 7.02.

 

-384-

 

 

(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. 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. 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 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.

 

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, 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

 

-386-

 

 

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, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations from each Companion Loan Rating Agency, (iii) which appointment has been 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 ninety (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 RR Interest Owners. (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 RR Interest Owners at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register (in

 

-387-

 

 

the case of the Certificateholders) or, in the case of the RR Interest Owners, 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 the RR Interest Owners (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 Certificateholders 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 any Serviced Companion Noteholder affected by such Servicer Termination Event, and (2) a Servicer Termination Event under clause (iii) or clause (xii) 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, 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 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 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,

 

-388-

 

 

(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 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.

Section 8.01          Duties of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. (a)  The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event and after the curing or waiving of all Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Termination Event occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator contained in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

 

(b)       The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator which are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator 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), shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall notify the party providing such instrument and requesting the correction thereof. 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

 

-389-

 

 

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;

 

(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 Certificateholders 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 RR Interest Owners 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.

 

Section 8.02       Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

 

(i)          The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, direction of the Depositor, 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;

 

(ii)         The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator 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;

 

(iii)         Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement, the Certificates or the RR Interest or to make any investigation of matters arising hereunder

 

-390-

 

 

or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders or the RR Interest Owners, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the RR Interest Owners shall have offered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it, against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be required to expend or risk its own funds 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, affiliates or attorneys; provided, however, that the appointment of such agents, affiliates 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;

(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;

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.

 

Section 8.12       Representations and Warranties of the Trustee. The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, each Serviced Companion Noteholder and the Certificate Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners, as of the Closing Date, that:

-403-

 

 

Trust’s portion of each REO Property, remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to (a) the sum of (1) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of REO Loans) included in the Trust Fund, (2) the Appraised Value of the Trust’s portion of each REO Property, if any, included in the Trust Fund (such Appraisals in clause (a)(2) to be conducted by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser selected by the Master Servicer, and approved by more than 50% of the Voting Rights then outstanding (other than the Controlling Class unless the Controlling Class is the only Class of Certificates then outstanding)) (which approval shall be deemed given unless more than 50% of such Certificateholders object within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice thereof), (3) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer with respect to such termination, unless the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans and (4) if a Mortgaged Property secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and is an “REO property” under the terms of the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, the pro rata portion of the fair market value of the related Mortgaged Property, as determined by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer in accordance with clause (2) above, minus (b) solely in the case where the Master Servicer is exercising such purchase right, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer in respect of such Advances in accordance with Sections  3.03(d) and 4.03(d) and any unpaid Servicing Fees, remaining outstanding and payable solely to the Master Servicer (which items shall be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer in connection with such purchase) or (iii) so long as the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are no longer outstanding and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero, the voluntary exchange by the Sole Owner of all the outstanding Certificates (other than Class S and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest for the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the immediately succeeding paragraph; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby 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’s, living on the date hereof.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360, as contemplated by clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.

-404-

 

 

the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, or an escrow account acceptable to the respective parties hereto, pursuant to Section 3.05(a) or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a), but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and Excess Interest Distribution Account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date related to such Distribution Date in which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b) (provided, however, that if a Serviced Whole Loan is secured by REO Property, the portion of the above-described purchase price allocable to such Trust’s portion of REO Property shall initially be deposited into the related REO Account). Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class R and Class S Certificates) on the applicable Distribution Date, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Sole Owner 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 Owner 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 Owner 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. Solely for federal income tax purposes, the Sole Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of each Serviced Loan REMIC and 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, the related Loan REMIC Regular Interest 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 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

 

-405-

 

 

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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans). 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 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 Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class shall have the first option to terminate any Loan REMIC, 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 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, each 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

After transferring the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Yield Maintenance Charges distributable to the Regular Certificates and the VRR Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(f) to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, in each case pursuant to Section 3.04(b), as applicable, and upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the RR Interest Owners and to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates (i) such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest of, and the RR Interest Owners’ portion of that portion of the amounts then on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account that are allocable to payments on the VRR Interest and the Class of Regular Certificates so presented, (ii) to Holders of the Class S Certificates or VRR Interest so presented, the allocable amounts remaining on deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account, (iii) any remaining amounts of Yield Maintenance Charges distributable to the Class F, Class G and Class H Certificates or the VRR Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(f), and (iv) 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 of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LR Interest in accordance with Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b), Section 4.01(e), Section 4.01(f), and Section 4.01(g), as applicable. 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(i).

 

Each Loan REMIC shall terminate as described above or as otherwise described in the related REMIC Declaration.

(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 Loan REMIC Regular Interest, the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Regular 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 VRR Interest (exclusive of Excess 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.

(c)       (i) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” (“Startup Day”) of each Trust REMIC (other than the Loan REMIC), and (ii) February 18, 2021 is designated as the 1822 Sunset Boulevard Loan REMIC Declaration as the Startup Day of the 1822 Sunset Boulevard Loan REMIC, in each case, within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

 

(d)       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 Certificate Administrator shall be the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code) of each Trust REMIC.

 

(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 RR 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, Form 8811, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date for any Trust REMIC.

 

(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

 

-409-

 

 

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 RR 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 or 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 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 RR 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” 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

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XI of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor 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 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 Benchmark 2021-B29 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29, 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, as applicable, to deliver or make available to the Depositor or the 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 the Depositor to permit the Depositor 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, reasonably believed by the Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. Each party to this Agreement shall have a reasonable period of time to comply with any written request made under this Section 11.01, but in any event, shall, upon reasonable advance written request, provide information in sufficient time to allow the Depositor to satisfy any related filing requirements. For purposes of this Article XI, to the extent any party has an obligation to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause a third party to perform, such party hereunder shall not be required to bring any legal action against such third party in connection with such obligation.

 

Section 11.02    Succession; Subcontractors. (a)  As a condition to the succession to the Master Servicer and the 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 under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or such Sub-Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or to any such Sub-Servicer, the Person removing and replacing the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, 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

 

-414-

 

 

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, however 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, 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, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer 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 a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor or such Mortgage Loan Seller, 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, cause such Subcontractor used by such Servicer for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee to comply with the provisions of Section 11.10 and Section 11.11 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicer. 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

 

-415-

 

 

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 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 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 shall 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 necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A, Form ABS-EE/A or Form 10-K/A.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement related to a Serviced Securitized Companion Loan shall contain a provision requiring the related Sub-Servicer to provide to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, information, reports, statements and certificates with respect to itself and such Serviced Securitized Companion Loan comparable to any information, reports, statements or certificates required to be provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 11.15, even if such Sub-Servicer is not otherwise required to provide such information, reports or certificates to any Person in order to comply with Regulation AB. Such information, reports or certificates shall be provided to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is required to deliver its comparable information, reports, statements or certificates pursuant to this Section 11.15.

 

(g)         With respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that the applicable Other Depositor has notified the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in writing is a “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) (together with notification of the Relevant Distribution Date) with respect to an Other Securitization that includes such Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is in receipt of the updated financial statements of such “significant obligor” for any calendar quarter (other than the fourth calendar quarter of any calendar year) from the 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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, such financial statements of the “significant obligor”, together with the net operating income of such “significant obligor” for the applicable period as calculated by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with CREFC^® guidelines and (B) if such financial statement receipt occurs less than twelve (12) Business Days 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, does not receive financial information satisfactory to comply with Item 6 of Form 10-D or Item 1112(b)(1) of

 

-439-

 

 

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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Other Depositor with respect to such Other Securitization that includes the related Companion Loan (and shall cause each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement to require any related Sub-Servicer to notify such Other Depositor) that it has not received such financial information. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (taking into account, in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of such Other Depositor under the Exchange Act) to obtain the periodic financial statements of the related Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall (and shall cause any related 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 by the Other Securitization, shall forward an Officer’s Certificate evidencing its attempts to obtain this information to the certificate administrator and Other Depositor related to such Other Securitization. This Officer’s Certificate should be addressed to the certificate administrator at its corporate trust office, as specified in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 11.16    Certain Matters Regarding Significant Obligors. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) as of the Closing Date (“Significant Obligor”) related to the Trust.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.16, in the event that the Certificate Administrator files a Form 15 Suspension Notification pursuant to Section 11.08 of this Agreement and so long as the Trust is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Master Servicer shall not be required to fulfill its obligations under this Section 11.16.

 

Section 11.17    Impact 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, nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, during any grace period provided for in such clause (iii); provided that if any such party fails to comply with the requirements of this Article XI by the expiration of any applicable grace period such failure shall constitute a Servicer Termination Event with respect to such party.

Article XII

the asset representations reviewer

 

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 RR Interest Owners, the Controlling Class Representative and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners 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 and by mailing such notice to each RR Interest Owner’s address). 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 RR Interest Owners, 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 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 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.

 

If Certificateholders evidencing not less than 5.0% of the Voting Rights 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 (such written direction, the “Asset Review Vote Election”), then upon receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Asset Representations Reviewer and all Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners and conduct a solicitation of votes in accordance with Section 5.09 to authorize an Asset Review. 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 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 notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Controlling Class Representative, the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, the RR Interest Owners 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

 

-441-

 

 

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 may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) an 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 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 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 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 Loan received by the Asset Representations Reviewer from any other party to this Agreement, 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;

 

(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;

 

-442-

 

 

(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;

 

(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 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 Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials provided to it with respect to such Delinquent 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 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 related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, deliver such additional documents only to the extent such documents are in the possession of such Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

With respect to any Delinquent Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent any documents required by the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete a Test are missing or have not been received from the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such document(s) from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (if such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is being serviced by a

 

-443-

 

 

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 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 (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 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 procedure 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)         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 related 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 ten (10) Business Days

 

-444-

 

 

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 related Mortgage Loan Seller no later than sixty (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 related 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 related 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 such 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 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 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 and the related 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 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 Delinquent 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

 

-445-

 

 

each case, shall be a responsibility of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 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.

 

(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 related 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 RR 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. 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 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

 

-446-

 

 

subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 12.01; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (1) be affiliated with any 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 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 any component thereof) is calculated may not exceed the rate then in effect and (iv) the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer shall 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

 

-447-

 

 

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 0.00022% 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 Loan (in such case, a “Subject Loan”) and within sixty (60) days of receipt by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee equal to the sum of (i) $17,750 multiplied by the number of Subject Loans, plus (ii) $1,775 per Mortgaged Property relating to the Subject Loans in excess of one Mortgaged Property per Subject Loan, plus (iii) $2,300 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Subject Loan subject to a ground lease, plus (iv) $1,275 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” as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, or other similar index if the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers is no longer calculated for the year of the Closing Date and for the year of the occurrence of the Asset Review (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 Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) shall be paid by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, however, that if such 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 such Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as 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 such Mortgage Loan Seller or its insolvency estate.

 

(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 by a Mortgage Loan Seller to the extent such fee was not already paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price received shall be used to reimburse the Trust for such fees paid to the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 12.02(b).

 

-448-

 

 

(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 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 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 RR 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 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 Certificateholders 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 RR Interest Owners 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 or (ii) upon the written direction of Certificateholders 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.

 

-450-

 

 

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 by mailing such notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section 12.01(a). Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates 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 Principal Balance Certificates and the Class RR Certificates, on the other, the Holders of Principal Balance Certificates and the Class RR Certificates 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 Certificates 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 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

 

-451-

 

 

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 RR 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 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).

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 hereunder, without the consent of such 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 and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR Interest Owner’s consent.

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 and the RR Interest 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.

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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 RR Interest Owners 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;

(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 Master Servicer Remittance 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 or RR Interest Owner, 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, RR Interest Owner or Companion Holder;

 

(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 RR Interest Owners (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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(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

(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, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or RR 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 no Control Termination Event is 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 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 respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

 

(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

 

(xi)         to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule 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 risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel.

 

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR 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 RR Interest Owners (if affected by such amendment) and the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less

 

A-1-7

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

A-1-8

 

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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-2 Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 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 Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners or the Companion Holders:

(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

(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 no Control Termination Event is 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 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 respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

 

(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

 

(xi)         to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule 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 risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel.

 

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR 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 RR Interest Owners (if affected by such amendment) and the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less

 

A-2-7

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

A-2-8

 

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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-3 Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 Distribution

 

A-3-4

 

 

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 Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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.

(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 no Control Termination Event is 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 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 respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

 

(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

 

(xi)         to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule 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 risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel.

 

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR 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 RR Interest Owners (if affected by such amendment) and the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less

 

A-3-7

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

A-3-8

 

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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-4 Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 Distribution

 

A-4-4

 

 

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 Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

(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 no Control Termination Event is 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 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 respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

(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

 

(xi)         to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule 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 risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel.

 

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR Interest Owner’s consent.

A-4-7

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

A-4-8

 

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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-5 Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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-5 Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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-5 Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

 

A-5-4

 

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 Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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

 

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class A-5 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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or 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 Master Servicer Remittance 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 or RR Interest Owner, 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, RR Interest Owner or Companion Holder;

 

(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 RR Interest Owners (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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(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

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR Interest Owner’s consent.

A-5-7

 

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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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

(v)       amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

A-5-8

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 A-SB Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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-SB Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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-SB Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

 

A-6-4

 

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 Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 A-SB 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 RR Interest Owners 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;

(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

(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 no Control Termination Event is 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 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 respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

 

(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

 

(xi)        to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule 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 risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel.

 

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR 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 RR Interest Owners (if affected by such amendment) and the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less

 

A-6-7

 

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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

A-6-8

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 X-A Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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-A Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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-A Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Notional Amount of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

 

A-7-4

 

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 Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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-7-5

 

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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or 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 Master Servicer Remittance 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 or RR Interest Owner, 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, RR Interest Owner or Companion Holder;

 

(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 RR Interest Owners (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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(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

(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 no Control Termination Event is 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 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 respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

 

(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

 

(xi)        to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule 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 risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel.

 

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR 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 RR Interest Owners (if affected by such amendment) and the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less

(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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

A-7-8

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 X-B Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 Distribution

 

 A-8-4

 

 

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 Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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-8-5

 

 

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class X-B 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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or 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 Master Servicer Remittance 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 or RR Interest Owner, 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, RR Interest Owner or Companion Holder;

 

(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 RR Interest Owners (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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(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

(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 no Control Termination Event is 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 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 respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

 

(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

 

(xi)       to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule 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 risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel.

 

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR 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 RR Interest Owners (if affected by such amendment) and the 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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 X-D Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 Distribution

 

A-9-4

 

 

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 Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 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. 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 RR Interest Owners 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;

(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 Master Servicer Remittance 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 or RR Interest Owner, 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;

(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 RR Interest Owners (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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(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

(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 no Control Termination Event is 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 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 respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

 

(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

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR Interest Owner’s consent.

(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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 X-F Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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-F Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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. 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-F Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Notional Amount of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro

 

A-10-4

 

 

rata share of the Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 X-F Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 initial Notional

 

A-10-5

 

 

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.

(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 RR Interest Owners (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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(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, any RR Interest Owner or any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan not consenting to such revision or addition, as evidenced in writing by an

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR 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 RR Interest Owners (if affected by such amendment) and the 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

 

A-10-7

 

 

modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class or the RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class

 

A-10-8

 

 

X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 X-G Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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-G Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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. 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-G Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Notional Amount of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro

 

A-11-4

 

 

rata share of the Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 X-G Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 initial Notional

 

A-11-5

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or 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 Master Servicer Remittance 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 or RR Interest Owner, 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, RR Interest Owner or Companion Holder;

 

(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 RR Interest Owners (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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(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, any RR Interest Owner or any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan not consenting to such revision or addition, as evidenced in writing by an

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR Interest Owner’s consent.

A-11-7

 

 

modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class or the RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class

 

A-11-8

 

 

X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 X-H Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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-H Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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. 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-H Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Notional Amount of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro

 

A-12-4

 

 

rata share of the Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 X-H Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 initial Notional

 

A-12-5

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners 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, 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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR Interest Owner’s consent.

A-12-7

 

 

modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class or the RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class

 

A-12-8

 

 

X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 A-S Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 Distribution

 

A-13-4

 

 

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 Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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-13-5

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or 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 Master Servicer Remittance 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 or RR Interest Owner, 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, RR Interest Owner or Companion Holder;

(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 no Control Termination Event is 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 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 respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

(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

 

(xi)        to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule 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 risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel.

 

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR Interest Owner’s consent.

A-13-7

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

A-13-8

 

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 B Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 Distribution

 

 A-14-4

 

 

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 Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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-14-5

 

 

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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or 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 Master Servicer Remittance 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 or RR Interest Owner, 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, RR Interest Owner or Companion Holder;

 

(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 RR Interest Owners (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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(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

(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, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or RR 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 no Control Termination Event is 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 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 respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

 

(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

 

(xi)         to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule 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 risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel.

 

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR 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 RR Interest Owners (if affected by such amendment) and the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less

 

 A-14-7

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

 A-14-8

 

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 C Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 Distribution

 

 A-15-4

 

 

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 Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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

 

 

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.

 

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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or 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 Master Servicer Remittance 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 or RR Interest Owner, 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, RR Interest Owner or Companion Holder;

 

(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 RR Interest Owners (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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(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

(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, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or RR 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 no Control Termination Event is 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 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 respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

 

(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

 

(xi)        to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule 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 risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel.

 

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR 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 RR Interest Owners (if affected by such amendment) and the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less

 

 A-15-7

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

 A-15-8

 

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 D Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

 

 A-16-4

 

 

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 Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 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.

 

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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

(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

 

(xi)        to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule 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 risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel.

 

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR 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 RR Interest Owners (if affected by such amendment) and the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less

 

 A-16-7

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

 A-16-8

 

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 E Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

 

 A-17-4

 

 

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 Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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-17-5

 

 

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.

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR 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 RR Interest Owners (if affected by such amendment) and the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less

 

 A-17-7

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

 A-17-8

 

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 F Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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-18-5

 

 

Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 F Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples

 

 A-18-6

 

 

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.

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR Interest Owner’s consent.

 A-18-8

 

 

modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class or the RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class

 

 A-18-9

 

 

X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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.

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.

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 equal to this

 

 A-19-5

 

 

Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 G Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples

 

 A-19-6

 

 

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.

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR Interest Owner’s consent.

 A-19-8

 

 

modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class or the RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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

(iv)       change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class

 

 A-19-9

 

 

X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 H Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 H Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 H 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-20-5

 

 

Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 H Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples

 

 A-20-6

 

 

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-20-8

 

 

modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class or the RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class

 

 A-20-9

 

 

X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 [_____] 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 September 1, 2021 (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 R Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 three “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 Certificate Administrator shall be the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code for 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.

 

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

 

 A-21-4

 

 

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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 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

 

 A-21-5

 

 

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.

 

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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

(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 RR Interest Owners (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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(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, any RR Interest Owner or any holder of a Serviced 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, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency;

(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 no Control Termination Event is 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 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 respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

 

(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;

 A-21-7

 

 

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR 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 RR Interest Owners (if affected by such amendment) and the 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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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 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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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

 

 A-21-8

 

 

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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 [______] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class S Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 S Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 S Certificate represents a beneficial ownership of Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

 

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, Excess Interest actually collected 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

 

A-22-4

 

 

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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 S 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.

(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, any RR Interest Owner or any holder of a Serviced 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, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency;

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR 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 RR Interest Owners (if affected by such amendment) and the 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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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

A-22-7

 

 

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, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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 [________] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class RR Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (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 RR Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2021-B29 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates and the RR Interest 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 RR 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-23-4

 

 

Certificate’s pro rata share of the VRR 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 VRR 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(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 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 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(i) 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 RR Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in

 

A-23-5

 

 

excess thereof (provided that the Class RR Certificates will be issuable in fractions of $1.00 in order to satisfy Risk Retention Rule percentage requirements), 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 RR Interest Owners 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 RR Interest Owners (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 Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(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, any RR Interest Owner or any holder of

(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 no Control Termination Event is 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 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 respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

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, (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) may materially and adversely affect the RR Interest Owners without each RR Interest Owner’s consent.

A-23-7

 

 

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 RR Interest Owners; 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 RR Interest without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the RR Interest Owners 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

(v)          amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency 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 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 provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

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, 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust Fund and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

A-23-8

 

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates) and the RR Interest 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, provided that 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, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

 

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.

Re: Transfer of Benchmark 2021-B29 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, on behalf of the holders of Benchmark 2021-B29 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 (the “Certificates”) and the RR Interest Owners 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 “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” (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the

 

 

^* Purchaser must include one of the following two certifications.

 

Exhibit C-1

 

 

    Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs 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 Fund 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, 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 Fund for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. 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 relating to the Offered Certificates (and, with respect to Non-Registered Certificates, the Offering Circular related to such Non-Registered 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 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.

 

Exhibit C-2

 

 

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.

 

7.       Check one of the following:^**

 

☐ 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.

 

 

 

^** Each Purchaser must include one of the two alternative certifications.

 

^*** Does not apply to a transfer of Class R Certificates.

Re: Benchmark 2021-B29 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29 (the “Certificates”) issued, and the RR Interest created, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of September 1, 2021, among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services 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”, (ii) “Upper-Tier REMIC” and (iii) 1822 Sunset Boulevard Loan REMIC referred to in the next sentence, 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”). A REMIC was formed on or prior to February 18, 2021, by DBR Investments Co. Limited with respect to the 1822 Sunset Boulevard Mortgage Loan that will be included in the Trust (such REMIC, the “1822 Sunset Boulevard Loan REMIC”), which issued a single regular interest, and a single residual interest which will be represented by the Class R Certificates.

 

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

 

Exhibit D-1-1

 

 

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 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) 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

 

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 “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: Benchmark 2021-B29 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29, Class R (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 September 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services 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.

(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.

Re: Benchmark 2021-B29 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29

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:____________________
       ____________________

 

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.

 

Exhibit U-1

 

 

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.

 

(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.

 

Exhibit U-2

 

 

(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 the defeasance collateral and that the documents executed in connection with the defeasance are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

 

Exhibit U-3

 

 

(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.

NOTE: The Operating Advisor’s review of the above materials should be considered a limited review and not be considered a full or limited audit, legal review or legal conclusion.

In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and

IV. Assumptions, Qualifications and Disclaimers Related to the Work Product Undertaken and Opinions Related to this Report

 

1. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Operating Advisor (i) 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 and (ii) will not be required to provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion.

Re: Access to Certain Information Regarding Benchmark 2021-B29 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B29

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is hereby made to that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of September 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services 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.

 

[Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association (“Midland”)][LNR Partners, LLC (“LNR”)] 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.

 

[Midland][LNR] 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 [Midland][LNR] by third parties, (b) may not have been verified by [Midland][LNR], and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. The Company agrees that [Midland][LNR], the [“Master Servicer”]

 

Exhibit X-1

[“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][LNR]’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][LNR]; (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][LNR]; (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 [Midland][LNR]’s election): (i) responses to reasonable written inquiries received from the Company, (ii) conference calls conducted on a reasonably scheduled basis with [Midland][LNR]’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”). [Midland][LNR] 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) [Midland][LNR] 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. [Midland][LNR] shall cease to provide the Company with Confidential Information if [Midland][LNR] has actual knowledge that the Company or its Representatives are affiliates of any borrower under the Mortgage Loan documents and [Midland][LNR] 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. [Midland][LNR]’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

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, [Midland][LNR] 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 [Midland][LNR]’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 Subject 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 PP 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:

 

■ CREFC^® Delinquent Mortgage Loan Status Report

 

■ Notice of Asset Review Trigger (with attachments)

 

■ Notice of Asset Review Vote Election

 

■ Notice of Affirmative Asset Review Vote

 

■ Asset Review Notice

 

■ List of all Subject Loans

 

■ Review Materials for each Subject Loan via Secure Data Room access, including the Diligence File

 

■ Any Unsolicited Information (if applicable)

 

Step 2 For each Subject 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 Subject Loan are missing, using the list of documents provided in the definition of “Mortgage File” of this Agreement, any comparable lists included in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and any closing checklist from the origination of such Subject 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 Subject Loan is missing any documents required to complete an Asset Review of such Subject Loan, ARR prepares list of such missing documents and, within the time

 

Exhibit PP-1

 

 

periods specified in Section 12.01 of this Agreement, (i) notifies the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) of such missing documents, and request that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, deliver to the ARR such missing document(s) to the extent in its possession and (ii) in the event any missing documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the ARR shall request such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

Analysis and Testing of Representations and Warranties

 

Step 4 For each Subject Loan for which ARR has received all Review Materials required to complete an Asset Review of such Subject Loan, ARR tests such Subject Loan for compliance with each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Subject 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

 

o 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;

 

o completing the Asset Review Report by setting forth, for each [Subject 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.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

Terms not defined in this Introductory Statement shall have the meanings specified in Article 1 hereof.

Reference is made to that certain fixed rate, seven-year mortgage loan (the “Whole Loan”), evidenced by twenty senior promissory notes and three junior promissory notes (the “Notes”).

The Whole Loan was co-originated by Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“GS Bank”),  Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) and DBR Investments Co. Limited (“DBRI” and, together with GS Bank and BMO, the “Originators”), pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of July 7, 2021 (as amended from time to time, the “Mortgage Loan Agreement”), by and among the Originators and SOHO AOA OWNER, LLC, OSS 2016 LLC and 2016 SOHO LLC (collectively, the “Mortgage Loan Borrower”). As of the Closing Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan was $785,000,000. The Whole Loan consists of (a) a portion that has an unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $316,000,000 (the “Trust Loan”), and is evidenced by Note A-1-S, Note A-2-S, Note A-3-S (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified, “Note A-1-S”, “Note A-2-S”, “Note A-3-S”, or the “Trust A Notes”), Note B-1, Note B-2 and Note B-3 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified “Note B-1”, “Note B-2” and “Note B-3” or the “B Notes” and, together with the Trust A Notes, the “Trust Notes”), and (b) a portion that has an unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $469,000,000 (the “Companion Loan”), and is evidenced by Note A-1-C-1, Note A-1-C-2, Note A-1-C-3, Note A-1-C-4, Note A-1-C-5, Note A-1-C-6, Note A-1-C-7, Note A-1-C-8, Note A-2-C-1, Note A-2-C-2, Note A-2-C-3, Note A-2-C-4, Note A-2-C-5, Note A-2-C-6, Note A-3-C-1, Note A-3-C-2 and Note A-3-C-3 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified, the “Companion Loan Notes” and, together with the Trust A Notes, the “A Notes”). The Trust A Notes, the B Notes and the Companion Loan Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes” and, each, as a “Note”.

As of the Closing Date, GS Bank has assigned all of its right, title and interest in the Trust Loan to Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (“GSMC”);

As of the Closing Date, DBRI has assigned all of its right, title and interest in the Trust Loan to German American Capital Corporation (“GACC” and, together with GSMC and BMO, the “Sponsors”);

On the Closing Date, each of the Sponsors sold its respective Sponsor Percentage Interest in the Trust Loan to the Depositor pursuant to a Trust Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Sponsors and the Depositor (the “Loan Purchase Agreement”).

As of the Closing Date, Note A-1-C-1, Note A-1-C-2, Note A-1-C-3, Note A-1-C-4, Note A-1-C-5, Note A-1-C-6, Note A-1-C-7 were held by GS Bank, Note A-2-C-2, Note A-2-C-3, Note A-2-C-4, Note A-2-C-5, Note A-2-C-6 were held by DBRI, and Note A-3-C-1, Note A-3-C-2 and Note A-3-C-3 were held by BMO. The relative rights of the respective lenders in respect of the Whole Loan are set forth in a co-lender agreement dated as of July 30, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Co-Lender Agreement”), between the holders of the Notes related to the Trust Loan and the holders of the Companion Loan Notes. From and after the Closing Date, the entire Whole Loan is to be serviced and administered in accordance with this Agreement.

As provided for herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause elections to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust Fund (exclusive of the Excess Liquidation Proceeds) 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”).  Each Class of Regular Certificates will represent a single Class of “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as further described herein. Each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests will represent a single class of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC as further described herein. The Class R Certificates will evidence the sole Class of “residual interests” in each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.

In addition, the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option with respect to the Mortgage Loan and related proceeds will be treated as a grantor trust (the “Grantor Trust”) for federal income tax purposes, and the Class ELP Certificates will represent undivided beneficial interests in the Grantor Trust. 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 the Trust REMICs.

In exchange for the Trust Loan and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests, the Trust will issue to the Depositor the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class HRR, Class ELP and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), which Certificates in the aggregate will evidence the entire ownership interest in the Trust. The Trust Fund consists principally of the Trust Loan, the Mortgage Loan Documents and all payments under, and proceeds of, the Trust Loan following the Cut-off Date.

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates to the Initial Purchasers in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws.

UPPER-TIER REMIC

As further described in Section 2.12, the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class HRR Certificates will evidence “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Class UT-R Interest will constitute the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder, and will be evidenced by the Class R Certificates. The following table sets forth the class designation, the Pass-Through Rate and the aggregate initial Certificate Balance (the “Original Certificate Balance”) for each Class of Certificates and the Class UT-R Interest comprising the interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder:

Class Designation	Approximate Initial Pass-Through Rate (per annum)	Original Certificate Balance
Class A	2.786475083%(1)	$87,131,000
Class B	2.786475083%(1)	$83,880,000
Class C	2.786475083%(1)	$80,259,000

Class HRR	2.786475083%(1)	$17,930,000
Class UT-R	None(2)	None(2)

⁽¹⁾ For any Distribution Date, the Pass-Through Rates of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class HRR Certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the Net Trust Loan Rate for such Distribution Date.

⁽²⁾ The Class UT-R Interest (evidenced by the Class R Certificates) will not have a Certificate Balance, will not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Yield Maintenance Premiums. Any Available Funds remaining in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, after all required distributions under this Agreement have been made to each Class of Regular Certificates and the Class LT-R Interest, will be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class UT-R Interest.

LOWER-TIER REMIC

As further described in Section 2.12, the Class LA, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD and Class LHRR Uncertificated Interests will evidence “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Class LT-R Interest will constitute the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder and will be evidenced by the Class R Certificates. The following table sets forth the initial Lower-Tier Principal Amounts and Pass-Through Rates for the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests and the Class LT-R Interest comprising the interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder:

 -3-

Class Designation	Pass-Through Rate	Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount
Class LA	(1)	$87,131,000
Class LB	(1)	$83,880,000
Class LC	(1)	$80,259,000
Class LD	(1)	$46,800,000
Class LHRR	(1)	$17,930,000
Class LT-R	None(2)	None(2)

⁽¹⁾ For any Distribution Date, the Pass-Through Rate for each of the Class LA, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD and Class LHRR Uncertificated Interests shall be the Net Trust Loan Rate for such Distribution Date. 

⁽²⁾ The Class LT-R Interest (evidenced by the Class R Certificates) will not have a Certificate Balance, will not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Yield Maintenance Premiums. Any Available Funds constituting assets remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account after distributing the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LT-R Interest (but only to the extent of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date, if any, remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account).

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the trusts created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

THE GRANTOR TRUST

The Class ELP Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the Grantor Trust as described herein. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall not take any actions that would cause the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust (i) to fail to maintain its status as a “grantor trust” under federal income tax law or (ii) to be treated as part of any Trust REMIC.

The Class ELP Certificates will not have a Pass-Through Rate or Certificate Balance, but will be entitled to the right to exercise their Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option.

Any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable would then be allocated to pay Appraisal Reduced Interest.

(d)       All net present value calculations and determinations made under this Agreement with respect to the Whole Loan, the Trust Loan, the Companion Loan or the Property or the Foreclosed Property (including for purposes of the definition of “Accepted Servicing Practices”) shall be made using a discount rate appropriate for the type of cash flows being discounted; namely (i) for principal and interest payments on the Whole Loan, the Trust Loan or

 -86-

Mortgage Loan Borrower’s Reimbursable Trust Fund Expenses and other amounts due under the Whole Loan and (iii) without regard to:

(A)      any relationship that the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof may have with the Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Sponsors, the Depositor, the Companion Loan Holders or any of their respective Affiliates;

(B)      the ownership of any Certificate (or Companion Loan) or the Mezzanine Loan or any interest in any Companion Loan or the Mezzanine Loan related to the Trust Loan by the Servicer or Special Servicer or by any Affiliate of the Servicer or the Special Servicer;

(C)      in the case of the Servicer, its obligation to make Advances;

(D)      the right of the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof to receive reimbursement of costs, compensation or other fees (other than Advances), or the sufficiency of any compensation payable to it under this Agreement or with respect to any particular transaction; or

(E)      the ownership, servicing or management for others of any other loans or property by the Servicer or the Special Servicer.

Subject to the above-described servicing standards (hereinafter referred to as “Accepted Servicing Practices”) and the terms of this Agreement, the Co-Lender Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone or, in the case of the Servicer, through one or more sub-servicers as provided in Section 3.2, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service and administer the Trust Loan and Companion Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law. At the written request of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, accompanied by the form of power of attorney or other documents being requested, the Trustee shall furnish to the Servicer (substantially in the form of Exhibit N-1 hereto) or the Special Servicer (substantially in the form of Exhibit N-2 hereto) any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer or the Special Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be held responsible (and shall be indemnified by the Servicer or the Special Servicer) for any negligence or misuse by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in its uses of any such powers of attorney or other document. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s prior written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the representative capacity of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or (ii) take any action with the intent to, and which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.

The liability of each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, for actions and omissions in its capacity as Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, hereunder is limited as provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6.3). Nothing

 -87-

contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectibility of the Whole Loan.

Section 3.2.    Sub-Servicing Agreements.  (a)  The Special Servicer shall not engage any sub-servicer or enter into any sub-servicing agreement. The Servicer, at its own expense without a right of reimbursement under this Agreement or otherwise, may enter into sub-servicing agreements with sub-servicers for the servicing and administration of the Trust Loan and Companion Loans, provided that (i) any such sub-servicing agreement shall be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Servicer and the sub-servicer have agreed, and (ii) no sub-servicer retained by the Servicer shall grant any modification, waiver, or amendment to the Mortgage Loan Documents without the approval of the Servicer (subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative to consent to, or consult on, Major Decisions set forth under Section 6.5). References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken, and limitations on actions permitted to be taken, by the Servicer in servicing the Whole Loan include actions taken or to be taken by a sub-servicer on behalf of the Servicer. Each sub-servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business and licensed in the applicable state(s), if, and to the extent, required by applicable law to enable the sub-servicer to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement, and (ii) qualified to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any amount when the sub-servicer receives such amount, irrespective of whether such amount is remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, any Cash Management Account, any Reserve Account or the Distribution Account, and actions taken by the sub-servicer shall be deemed to be actions of the Servicer. The Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Mortgage Loan Borrower and the Depositor in writing promptly upon the appointment of any sub-servicer and promptly furnish the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon its request, with a copy of the sub-servicing agreement. No sub-servicer shall be permitted to enter into any sub-servicing agreement with other sub-servicers without the prior written consent of the Servicer.

(b)       Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Trust Loan and Companion Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreement, or by virtue of indemnification from a sub-servicer, and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Whole Loan.

(c)       Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by (i) the Trustee if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Servicer or if the Servicer is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) a successor Servicer if such successor Servicer has assumed the duties of the Servicer, without cost or obligation to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the successor Servicer, the Trust or the Trust Fund.

(d)      Any sub-servicing agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Whole Loan involving a sub-servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Servicer and such sub-servicer alone, and the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall

 -88-

have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the sub-servicer, and no provision herein shall be construed so as to require the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer or the Depositor to indemnify any such sub-servicer. The Servicer is permitted, at its own expense, or to the extent that a particular expense is provided herein to be an Advance or an expense of the Trust, at the expense of the Trust, to utilize other agents or attorneys typically used by servicers of mortgage loans underlying commercial mortgage backed securities in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(e)       Notwithstanding anything herein, each of the initial Servicer and the initial Special Servicer may delegate certain of its duties and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Such delegation shall not be considered a sub-servicing agreement hereunder, and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to sub-servicing agreements, sub-servicers or Servicing Function Participants shall not be applicable to such arrangement. Notwithstanding any such delegation, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were servicing and administering the Whole Loan as required hereby.

(f)       The parties hereto acknowledge that the Whole Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the Co-Lender Agreement and recognize the respective rights and obligations of the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and of the Companion Loan Holders under the Co-Lender Agreement, including: (i) with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of the Whole Loan, and the making of remittances, to the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and to the Companion Loan Holders; (ii) with respect to the allocation of expenses and losses relating to the Whole Loan to the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and to the Companion Loan Holders and (iii) to the extent provided for under the Co-Lender Agreement, the consultation rights of the Companion Loan Holders. With respect to the Whole Loan, the Servicer (if the Whole Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the Whole Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan or the Property has been converted to an Foreclosed Property) shall prepare and provide to each Companion Loan Holder all notices, reports, statements and communications to be delivered by the holder of the Trust Loan under the Co-Lender Agreement, and shall perform all duties and obligations to be performed by a servicer and perform all servicing related duties and obligations to be performed by the holder of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Co-Lender Agreement, the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement shall control.

(g)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at no time shall the Servicer or the Trustee be required to make, and they shall not make, any advance of delinquent scheduled monthly payments of principal or interest with respect to any Companion Loan.

(h)       To the extent required under the Mortgage Loan Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement, the Servicer shall, on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Lender, maintain a note register for the Whole Loan in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement. The Sponsors are the Companion Loan Holders as of the Closing Date, and

 -89-

notices regarding such ownership shall be addressed to the Sponsors at the address set forth in Section 10.4.

Section 3.3.    Cash Management Account.  A Lockbox Account and a Cash Management Account have been or shall be established pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement and the Lockbox Account Agreement. The Servicer shall exercise and enforce the rights of the Trust Fund with respect to the Cash Management Account and the Lockbox Account under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement and the Lockbox Account Agreement in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the other terms of this Agreement and the other Mortgage Loan Documents.

Section 3.4.    Collection Account.  (a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain (i) one or more accounts for the benefit of the Certificateholders in the name of “KeyBank National Association, as Servicer on behalf of U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders of SOHO Trust 2021-SOHO, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-SOHO” and (ii) one or more deposit accounts in the name of “KeyBank National Association, as Servicer on behalf of U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Companion Loans with respect to SOHO Trust 2021-SOHO, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-SOHO” (collectively, the “Collection Account”).  The Collection Account must be an Eligible Account. The Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt of properly identified and available funds the following amounts representing payments and collections received or made during each Collection Period on or with respect to the Whole Loan:

(i)        all payments on account of principal on the Whole Loan;

(ii)       all payments on account of interest on the Whole Loan, including Yield Maintenance Premiums and Default Interest;

(iv)      any other amounts payable for the benefit of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Trustee or the Certificateholders under the Trust Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable;

The foregoing requirements for deposits in the Collection Account by the Servicer shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments (if any) in the nature of additional compensation (other than Default Interest and late payment charges) to which the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable are entitled pursuant to Section 3.17 and any reimbursement made by the Mortgage Loan Borrower of expenses of the Servicer or the Special Servicer need not be deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer or Special Servicer and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain any such fees and expense reimbursements received with respect to the Whole Loan.

In the event the Threshold Cure Holder delivers Threshold Event Collateral in the form of an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit, the Servicer shall hold such letter of credit and the Servicer shall hold any proceeds thereof as additional collateral in the Threshold Event Cash Collateral Account. Upon the Special Servicer’s determination of a Final Recovery Determination, the Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer and the Servicer shall deposit any amounts in the Threshold Event Cash Collateral Account directly into the Collection Account. Proceeds from Threshold Event Collateral in the form of an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5(d).

 -94-

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 and February, if any, and transfer such amounts into the Distribution Account.

On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the aggregate Closing Date Deposit Amount. On or prior to the Remittance Date in August 2021, the Certificate Administrator shall transfer to the Distribution Account the Closing Date Deposit Amount on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account.

Section 3.5.    Distribution Account and Threshold Event Cash Collateral Account. (a)  The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders a segregated non-interest bearing trust account (the “Distribution Account”), which shall be deemed to include the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, which shall be subaccounts of the Distribution Account for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests. The Distribution Account must be an Eligible Account.  On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall transfer from the Collection Account to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account all Available Funds remaining on deposit therein, after giving effect to the withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.4(c). The Certificate Administrator shall credit the funds remitted by the Servicer from the Collection Account to the Distribution Account. Amounts held in the Distribution Account shall be uninvested.

The Certificate Administrator shall make withdrawals from the Distribution Account to make distributions to the Holders of the Certificates pursuant to Section 4.1.

(ii)       to make distributions to Holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest) on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 9.1 as applicable; and

(iii)      to clear and terminate the Upper-Tier Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1.

(d)        In the event the Threshold Cure Holder delivers Threshold Event Collateral in the form of cash collateral, the Servicer shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders a segregated non-interest bearing trust account (the “Threshold Event Cash Collateral Account”) and deposit the Threshold Event Collateral into such account. In addition, any proceeds from a letter of credit delivered as Threshold Event Collateral shall also be deposited into the Threshold Event Cash Collateral Account. The Threshold Event Cash Collateral Account must be an Eligible Account. Upon the Special Servicer’s determination of a Final Recovery Determination, the Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer and the Servicer shall deposit any amounts in the Threshold Event Cash Collateral Account directly into the Collection Account.

Upon such deposit, the Servicer shall transfer the lesser of (i) all Threshold Event Collateral or (ii) an amount sufficient to pay all amounts due on the Certificates that were not sufficiently covered by the net sale proceeds or net liquidation amounts, including all Applied Realized Loss Amounts, to the Distribution Account to reimburse Certificateholders for all Realized Losses after application of all Net Liquidation Proceeds plus accrued and unpaid interest and all other Trust Fund Expenses pursuant to . For the avoidance of doubt, any remaining funds will be distributed to the Threshold Cure Holder.

Section 3.6.      Foreclosed Property Account. The Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more deposit accounts (the “Foreclosed Property Account”) in the name of either (a) “Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer on behalf of U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders of SOHO Trust 2021-SOHO, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-SOHO” related to the Foreclosed Property held in the name of the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trust on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders or (b) in the name of the limited liability company formed under Section 3.14. The Foreclosed Property Account must be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account within two Business Days of receipt all funds collected and received in connection with the operation or ownership of such Foreclosed Property. On or before the last day of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall withdraw the funds in the Foreclosed Property Account, net of certain expenses and/or reserves as determined in the Special Servicer’s reasonable discretion in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, and deposit them into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(a). The Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in writing of the location and account number of the Foreclosed Property Account and shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in writing prior to any subsequent change thereof.

Section 3.7.     Appraisal Reductions.  (a)  Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the Special Servicer shall (i) notify the Servicer, the Operating

 -96-

Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (and so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative) of the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, (ii) (A) order and (B) use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to obtain an Appraisal of the Property (unless any such Appraisal was performed within nine (9) months prior to the Appraisal Reduction Event and the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change in the market or condition or value of the Property since the date of such Appraisal (in which case, such Appraisal shall be used by the Special Servicer)) and (iii) (no later than the first Distribution Date on or following the receipt of such appraisals (in final form) or determination to use any existing Appraisals) (so long as such appraisals were received at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date (in which case it shall determine no later than the second Distribution Date following the receipt of such Appraisals)) on the basis of the applicable Appraisals, and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Servicer in the Servicer’s possession necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount (which information shall be delivered within two (2) Business Days after receipt of any such request), calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount (if any) and, if there is any Appraisal Reduction Amount, give reasonably prompt notice thereof to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders (or, in the case of a Companion Loan that is part of an Other Securitization Trust, the master servicer, special servicer and trustee with respect to such Other Securitization Trust) and the Certificate Administrator. The cost of obtaining such Appraisals shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance unless it would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and in such case, as an expense of the Trust. Appraisals and updates of Appraisals shall be obtained by the Special Servicer and paid for by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance (or paid for by the Trust if the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) every nine (9) months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists, and the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be adjusted accordingly, and, if required in accordance with any such adjustment, each Class of Certificates that has been notionally reduced as a result of Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored (or reduced if applicable) to the extent required by such adjustment of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, and there shall be a redetermination pursuant to Section 6.5(c) of whether a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event is then in effect. Any such Appraisals obtained shall be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer and, so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative, in electronic format (which format is reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator), and the Certificate Administrator shall make such appraisals available to Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b).

The Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Balance of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates whose aggregate Certificate Balance is notionally reduced to less than 25% of the Original Certificate Balance of that Class of Certificates (such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an allocation of an Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right to (i) challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination and, at their sole expense, obtain a second Appraisal of the Property if an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”) or (ii) post Threshold Event Collateral. The Requesting Holders shall cause any such Appraisal to be prepared on an “as is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards, and the Appraisal shall be reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with Accepted

 -97-

Servicing Practices. The Requesting Holders shall provide the Special Servicer with notice of their intent to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination within 10 days of the Requesting Holders’ receipt of written notice of the determination of such Appraisal Reduction Amount.

Any Appraised-Out Class for which the Requesting Holders are challenging the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination may not exercise any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class, until such time, if any, as such Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class. After the Appraised-Out Class is no longer entitled to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class, the rights of the Controlling Class will not be exercised by any Class of Certificates, 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 the Property if an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and if an event has occurred at or with regard to the Property that would have a material effect on its Appraised Value, and the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within 30 days from receipt of such Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Appraisal if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that no events at or with regard to the Property have occurred that would have a material effect on such Appraised Value of the Property. 

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 Servicer reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether, based on its assessment of such additional Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver notice to the Certificate Administrator of any such determination and recalculation in its monthly reporting, 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 Accepted Servicing Practices or this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Holder of an Appraised-Out Class.

The holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Balance of the Appraised-Out Class (the “Threshold Cure Holder”) may avoid a Control Termination Event or change in identity of the Controlling Class caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount if such Threshold Cure Holder delivers Threshold Event Collateral as a supplement to the

 -98-

appraised value of the Property to the Servicer, together with documentation acceptable to the Servicer in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices to create and perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Servicer on behalf of the Trust in such collateral (which shall be completed within thirty (30) days of the Special Servicer’s receipt of a third party Appraisal that indicates such Control Termination Event has occurred and such holders rights under Section 6.5 shall continue during such thirty (30) day period) (a “Threshold Event Cure”). If a Threshold Event Cure occurs, no Control Termination Event caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be deemed to have occurred. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the letter of credit shall have an initial term no shorter than 6 months and contain an evergreen clause providing for automatic renewal for additional periods not less than 6 months. The Threshold Cure Holder shall provide notice of each renewal at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of such letter of credit or shall replace such letter of credit with a substitute letter of credit or other Threshold Event Collateral with an expiration date that is greater than 45 days from the date of substitution. If the Servicer does not receive notice of such renewal at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of the letter of credit or if the Servicer receives notice that the letter of credit will not be renewed, then the Servicer shall promptly draw upon such letter of credit and the Servicer shall hold such proceeds thereof as Threshold Event Collateral. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the applicable Threshold Cure Holder will be required to replace such letter of credit with other Threshold Event Collateral within 30 days if the credit ratings of the Threshold Collateral Issuer are downgraded below the required ratings; provided, however, that, if such Threshold Event Collateral is not so replaced, the Servicer shall draw upon such letter of credit and shall hold the proceeds thereof as Threshold Event Collateral. 

The Threshold Event Cure shall continue until (i) the appraised value of the Property plus the value of the Threshold Event Collateral would not be sufficient to prevent a Control Termination Event from occurring (and should the appraised value of the Property plus the value of the Threshold Event Collateral be insufficient, the Threshold Cure Holder shall have 30 days from the new third party Appraisal to deliver new Threshold Event Collateral as supplement to the newly appraised value), or (ii) a determination is made by the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement that all proceeds in respect of the Whole Loan or the Property have been received (a “Final Recovery Determination”). If the appraised value of the Property, upon any redetermination thereof, is sufficient to avoid the occurrence of a Control Termination Event without taking into consideration any, or some portion of, Threshold Event Collateral previously delivered by the Threshold Cure Holder, any or such portion of Threshold Event Collateral held by the Servicer shall be promptly returned to such Threshold Cure Holder (at its direction and sole expense). Any Threshold Event Collateral shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” (and the right to reimbursement of any amounts with respect thereto) and shall be beneficially owned by the Threshold Cure Holder who shall be taxed on all income with respect thereto.

(b)       While an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, (i) the amount of any Monthly Payment Advances shall be reduced as provided in Section 3.23(a), and (ii) the existence thereof will be taken into account for purposes of determining (a) the Voting Rights of certain Classes of Certificates as provided in Section 3.7(c) or (b) if a Control Termination Event or an Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing.

 -99-

(c)       The Certificate Balance of each Class of the Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A Certificates) shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining (x) the Voting Rights of the related Classes and the Controlling Class and (y) whether a Control Termination Event is continuing on any Distribution Date) on any Distribution Date, to the extent of any Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date. Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the Whole Loan shall be applied, first, to the B Notes, pro rata and pari passu, in each case until notionally reduced to zero and then to the A Notes, pro rata and pari passu, in each case until notionally reduced to zero. The Appraisal Reduction Amount for the Trust Loan for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A Certificates) in the following order of priority: first, to the Class HRR Certificates; second, to the Class D Certificates; third, to the Class C Certificates; fourth, to the Class B Certificates; (provided in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of any Class A Certificate.

(d)       In the event that a portion(s) of one or more Monthly Payment Advances with respect to the Trust Loan was reduced as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to interest shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such reductions and the portion of such Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal shall be increased by such amount, and if the amounts of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal have been applied to pay the principal of the Trust Loan in full, any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds shall then be applied to pay any remaining accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan in accordance with Section 1.3. 

(e)       If (i) an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, (ii) with respect to the Property, either (A) no Appraisal or updates of any Appraisal have been obtained or conducted with respect to the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, during the 9-month period prior to the date of such Appraisal Reduction Event or (B) a material change in the circumstances surrounding the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, has occurred since the date of the most recent Appraisal that would materially adversely affect the value of such Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, and (iii) no new Appraisal has been obtained or conducted for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, then (x) until the new Appraisal is obtained for the Property, the appraised value of the Property for purposes of determining the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be equal to 75% of the appraised value set forth in the most recent Appraisal for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be (the “Assumed Appraised Value”), and (y) upon receipt or performance of the new Appraisal by the Special Servicer, the appraised value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, shall be based on such new Appraisal and the Appraisal Reduction Amount will be recalculated in accordance with the definition of Appraisal Reduction Amount. 

Section 3.8.     Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, Reserve Accounts and the Foreclosed Property Account.   (a)  The Servicer (and, with respect to the Foreclosed Property Account, the Special Servicer) may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, any Reserve Account (to the extent interest is not payable to the Mortgage Loan Borrower) or the Foreclosed Property Account, respectively (each, for purposes of this

 -100-

Section 3.8, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments that bear interest or are sold at a discount, and that mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement. Any direction by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing and shall certify that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall have sole control (except with respect to investment direction, which shall be in the control of the Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to the Foreclosed Property Account) 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 agent (which shall initially be the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or its nominee. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall:

(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 (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

(ii)       demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment Account.

(b)       All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account and any Reserve Account (to the extent not payable to the Mortgage Loan Borrower) shall be for the benefit of the Servicer in accordance with the terms and priorities of this Agreement. All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer. Any net losses on funds in the Collection Account or the Foreclosed Property Account shall be reimbursed by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from its own funds promptly, but in any event on or prior to the Remittance Date following the realization of such loss. 

(c)       Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Servicer 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 Servicer takes any such action, the

 -101-

Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.4(c), for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Servicer in connection therewith.

(d)      For the avoidance of doubt, the Collection Account, the Foreclosed Property Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Lower-Tier Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by the Lower-Tier REMIC, and the Upper-Tier 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.

(e)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer, nor the Special Servicer shall cover any losses from the bankruptcy or insolvency of a depository institution holding an account described in this Section 3.8, so long as (i) such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Institution at the time such deposit was made and such institution was not an Affiliate of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable and (ii) such loss was incurred within 30 days after the earlier of (a) the date of such bankruptcy or insolvency or (b) the date on which the depository institution or trust company failed to satisfy the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Institution.

Section 3.9.      Payment of Taxes, Assessments, etc.  The Servicer (other than with respect to the Foreclosed Property) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Foreclosed Property) shall maintain accurate records with respect to the Property (or the Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) reflecting the status of taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the Property (or the Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) and the status of insurance premiums payable in respect of insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof. The Servicer shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums). The Servicer shall pay (or cause to be paid) real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other similar items from funds in the applicable Reserve Account in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement at such time as may be required by the Mortgage Loan Documents. If the Mortgage Loan Borrower does not make the necessary payments and/or a Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and amounts in the applicable Reserve Account are insufficient to make such payments, the Servicer shall make a Property Protection Advance, subject to the determination of non-recoverability provided in Section 3.23, from its own funds for amounts payable with respect to all such items related to the Property when and as the same shall become due and payable. The Servicer shall ensure that the amount of funds in the applicable Reserve Account is increased when and if applicable taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items, ground rents or insurance premiums are increased, in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

Section 3.10.   Appointment of Special Servicer. (a) Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, is hereby appointed as the initial Special Servicer to service the Whole Loan while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing and perform the other obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder.

(b)       If there is a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to any Special Servicer, such Special Servicer may be removed and replaced pursuant to Section 7.1.

 -102-

 The Trustee shall, promptly after receiving notice of any such removal, so notify the Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders and, subject to Section 10.17, the Rating Agency. The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, the initial Special Servicer specified above shall not be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer. No termination fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer. No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until the successor Special Servicer has assumed all of its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder in writing, a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee and Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee. Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.5(a) mutatis mutandis as of the date of its succession. The terminated Special Servicer shall retain all rights accruing to it under this Agreement, including the right to receive fees accrued prior to its termination and other amounts payable to it (including indemnification payments).

(c)       Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, and the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to the Whole Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto (and concurrently provide a copy of such Mortgage File, exclusive of all Privileged Information, to the Operating Advisor). The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five Business Days of the date that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred. The Servicer in any event shall continue to act as Servicer and administrator of the Whole Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of the Whole Loan, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, which shall occur, in the case of a Special Servicing Loan Event, upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the information, documents and records referred to in the preceding sentence. The Special Servicer shall instruct the Mortgage Loan Borrower to continue to remit all payments in respect of the Whole Loan to the Servicer. The Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Whole Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the Mortgage Loan Borrower while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing.

(d)      Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event is no longer continuing, the Special Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof to the Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee and the Companion Loan Holders, and upon giving such notice such Special Servicing Loan Event shall cease, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service the Whole Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Servicer to service and administer the Whole Loan shall resume and the Special Servicer shall return all of the information and materials furnished to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10(c) to the Servicer.

 -103-

(e)       In making a Major Decision or in servicing the Whole Loan during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the Custodian originals of documents entered into in connection therewith that are required to be included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the Mortgage File (to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and copies of any additional related Whole Loan information, including correspondence with the Mortgage Loan Borrower, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Servicer as well as copies of any related analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer.

(f)       During any period in which a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing, no later than the Business Day preceding each date on which the Servicer is required to furnish a report under Section 3.18(a) to the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer, to the extent not included in the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File, a written statement describing (i) the amount of all payments on account of interest received on the Whole Loan, the amount of all payments on account of principal received on the Whole Loan, the amount of Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds received, the amount of any Foreclosure Proceeds received with respect to the Property, and the amount of net income or net loss, as determined from management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any rental income that does not constitute rents from real property with respect to, the Foreclosed Property, in each case in accordance with Section 3.15 and (ii) such additional information relating to the Whole Loan as the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator reasonably requests to enable it to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(g)       Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsection (c), the Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to the Whole Loan and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(h)       If a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs, the Special Servicer, at the earlier of (x) within 60 days after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event and (y) prior to taking action with respect to any Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Major Decision) (the “Initial Delivery Date”), shall prepare a report (the “Asset Status Report”) for the Whole Loan.  The Special Servicer shall prepare one or more additional Asset Status Reports with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan subsequent to the issuance of a Final Asset Status Report to the extent that during the course of the resolution of the Specially Serviced Loan changes in strategy reflected in the Asset Status Report (or subsequent Final Asset Status Report) are necessary to reflect the then current recommendation as to how the Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise liquidated in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (each such report, a “Subsequent Asset Status Report”). The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report in electronic format to the Controlling Class Representative (but only for so long as a Consultation Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing), the Operating Advisor (but only after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), the Servicer and, subject to Section 10.17, the Rating Agency; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be required to deliver an Asset Status Report to the Controlling Class Representative if they are the same entity

 -104-

or Affiliates of each other. Each Asset Status Report shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:

(i)        summary of the status of the Whole Loan and any negotiations with the Mortgage Loan Borrower;

(ii)       a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known at such time to the Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the Whole Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

(iii)      the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the Property;

(iv)      the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how the Whole Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise realized upon;

(v)       the appraised value of the Property together with the Appraisal or the assumptions used in the calculation thereof;

(vi)      the status of any foreclosure actions or other proceedings undertaken with respect thereto, any proposed workouts with respect thereto and the status of any negotiations with respect to such workouts, and an assessment of the likelihood of an additional Mortgage Loan Event of Default;

(vii)     a description of any proposed actions;

(viii)    the alternative courses of action considered by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed actions;

(ix)       the decision that the Special Servicer made or intends or proposes to make, including a narrative analysis setting forth the Special Servicer’s rationale for its proposed decision, including its rejection of the alternatives; and an analysis of whether or not taking such action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination and (y) the net present value calculation (including the applicable discount rate used) and all related assumptions. In connection with the foregoing analysis, if the Mortgage Loan Borrower has indicated its refusal to pay any Workout Fees, Special Servicing Fees or Liquidation Fees due to the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer must consider the costs to the Trust and analyze as an alternative a sale of the Whole Loan or of the related Foreclosed Property or other exercise of remedies;

(x)        a summary of the status of any action that was described in the most recent prior Asset Status Report and subsequently effected by the Special Servicer; and

(xi)       such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the proposed action and Accepted Servicing Practices.

 -105-

A summary of each Final Asset Status Report shall be provided to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, but in no event shall the Special Servicer be required to deliver a summary of any interim or draft Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee.

For so long as there is no continuing Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to disapprove the Asset Status Report prepared by the Special Servicer within 10 Business Days after receipt of the Asset Status Report. For so long as there is no continuing Control Termination Event, if the Controlling Class Representative does not disapprove an Asset Status Report in writing within 10 Business Days of receiving such Asset Status Report or if the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that the disapproval by the Controlling Class Representative (communicated to the Special Servicer within such 10 Business Day period) is not in the best interest of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole) (taking into account that the B Notes are junior to the A Notes), then the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report. If, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative disapproves such Asset Status Report within such 10 Business Day period and the Special Servicer has not made an affirmative determination pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report and deliver to the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event), the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and, subject to Section 10.17 of this Agreement, the Rating Agency a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after the disapproval. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall continue to revise such Asset Status Report as described above until the Controlling Class Representative 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, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such disapproval is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender (taking into account that the B Notes are junior to the A Notes); provided that, if the Controlling Class Representative has not approved the Asset Status Report for a period of 60 Business Days following the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report, if consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “Controlling Class Representative Approval Process”.

For so long as no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor after the completion of the Controlling Class Representative Approval Process.

During the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall consult on a non-binding basis with and provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of each Asset Status Report, if any, within ten (10) 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 extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including

 -106-

any Certificateholders that are holders of the Controlling Class Certificates), as a collective whole. The Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action, if any, and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative) in connection with the Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report that is provided while an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing. The Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor (and if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative), to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or Controlling Class Representative’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) (taking into account that the B Notes are junior to the A Notes). 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 Controlling Class Representative, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor and the Controlling Class Representative the revised Asset Status Report (until a Final Asset Status Report is issued) or notice that the Special Servicer has decided not to revise such Asset Status Report, as applicable. The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “ASR Consultation Process”. 

In connection with the approval or consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative and/or Operating Advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report, if the Special Servicer determines that any action recommended in an Asset Status Report is necessary to protect the Property or the interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders 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 10 Business Day period (or 10 day period) if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such actions before the expiration of the 10 Business Day period (or 10 day period) would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders, and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Class Representative or the Operating Advisor, as applicable.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.10. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative, and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor, shall consult with the Special Servicer (telephonically or electronically) and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. During the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative (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 Accepted Servicing Practices to take into account any input and/or

 -107-

recommendations of the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative.

The Special Servicer shall implement the Final Asset Status Report.

The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section. In any event, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, if the Controlling Class Representative has not approved the Asset Status Report within 60 Business Days following the first submission thereof, the Special Servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report, if consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any matter set forth therein. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.10(h). 

The Special Servicer shall (x) deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a proposed notice, in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, to the Certificateholders that will include a summary of the Final Asset Status Report in an electronic format which format is reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator (which shall be a brief summary of the current status of the Property and current strategy with respect to the Whole Loan (other than any information that constitutes Privileged Information)), and the Certificate Administrator shall be required to post such notice and summary (but not such Final Asset Status Report) on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (y) implement the Asset Status Report in the form delivered to the Depositor. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and, following delivery of such modified Asset Status Report to the 17g-5 Information Provider and a summary of the same to the Certificate Administrator, which the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Certificate Administrator, respectively shall post on their respective websites pursuant to Section 8.14(b) or Section 10.17, as applicable, implement such report.

(i)        During the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the Mortgage Loan Borrower and take any actions consistent with Section 3.24, Accepted Servicing Practices and the most recent Final Asset Status Report.

(j)        In addition, during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, on the last day of each Collection Period the Special Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Servicer the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File with respect to the Whole Loan.

(k)       Beginning in 2022, the Special Servicer shall prepare and file on a timely basis the reports of foreclosure and abandonment of the Property required by Section 6050J of

 -108-

the Code and the reports of discharges of indebtedness income in respect of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan required by Section 6050P of the Code.

(l)        Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by any person (including the Controlling Class Representative or the Operating Advisor) that would require or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any applicable law or provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse REMIC Event (other than the imposition of a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”), be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of the Whole Loan, expose any Certificateholder, Companion Loan Holders, or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust or the Grantor Trust, cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a “grantor trust” under the Code, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement.

Section 3.11.   Maintenance of Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a)  The Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Mortgage Loan Documents, shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to cause to be maintained by the Mortgage Loan Borrower (or if the Mortgage Loan Borrower fails to maintain such insurance in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee of record, has an insurable interest) insurance with respect to the Property of the types and in the amounts required to be maintained (to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, provided, that the commercially reasonably requirement shall not apply with respect to terrorism insurance which will be governed by the Mortgage Loan Documents) by the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents. The cost of any such insurance maintained by the Servicer shall be advanced by the Servicer, as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance in which case it shall be paid by the Trust, and as applicable, by the Companion Loan Holders pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement.  Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to maintain, and shall not cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to be in default with respect to the failure of the Mortgage Loan Borrower 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, on an annual basis, that such failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default. In making any determination related to an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, is entitled to rely on the opinion of an insurance consultant. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain terrorism insurance pursuant to this Agreement to the extent the Mortgage Loan Borrower would not be obligated to maintain terrorism insurance under the Mortgage Loan Documents as in effect on the date thereof.

(b)       The Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Mortgage Loan Documents, shall cause to be maintained such insurance (including environmental insurance) with respect to the Foreclosed Property as the Mortgage Loan Borrower is required to maintain with respect to the Property referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 3.11 or, at the Special Servicer’s election, coverage satisfying insurance requirements

 -109-

consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of any such insurance with respect to the Foreclosed Property shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account or shall be advanced by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such insurance (other than terrorism insurance, which shall be maintained to the extent required under subsection (a)) that is required to be maintained with respect to the Foreclosed Property shall only be so required to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. If the Special Servicer requests the Servicer to make a Property Protection Advance in respect of the premiums due in respect of such insurance, the Servicer shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of such request, make such Property Protection Advance unless such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if the Servicer does not make such Advance, the Trustee (within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of notice of the Servicer’s failure to make such Advance) shall make an Advance of the premiums to maintain such insurance, provided that, in each such case, such obligations shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances, the Trustee as mortgagee of record having an insurable interest and the availability of such insurance at commercially reasonable rates.

(c)       The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may satisfy its obligations to cause insurance policies to be maintained by maintaining a master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring against losses on the Property or the Foreclosed Property, as the case may be for which coverage is otherwise required to be maintained as set forth in the preceding subsections of this Section 3.11. The incremental cost of such insurance allocable to the Property or the Foreclosed Property, if not borne by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If such master force placed or blanket insurance policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be obligated to deposit in the Collection Account out of its own funds all sums that would have been deposited therein but for such clause to the extent any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the Whole Loan, or in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(d)      Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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, the issuer of which is rated no lower than the applicable Qualified Insurer Ratings, covering its directors, officers and employees, as applicable, in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Each such insurance policy shall protect the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, against losses resulting directly from forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions of such covered persons. Coverage of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate thereof and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.11(d) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.11(d).  The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that is required by applicable governmental authorities having regulatory power over the Servicer and the Special Servicer. If no such coverage amounts are imposed by such regulatory authorities, the amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required by FNMA or FHLMC with respect to the Servicer and the Special Servicer if each were servicing and administering the Whole Loan for FNMA or FHLMC or as otherwise approved by FNMA or FHLMC. In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect,

 -110-

the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy. Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall use reasonable effort to cause each and every sub-servicer, if any, to maintain a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy meeting the requirements as described above. In lieu of the foregoing, but subject to this Section 3.11, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to self-insure with respect to such risks so long as it’s (or its immediate or ultimate parent’s) long term unsecured debt or deposits rating is rated no lower than: (a) “A-” by S&P, (b) “A3” by Moody’s, (c) “A-” by Fitch, (d) “A(low)” by DBRS Morningstar, (e) “A-:VIII” by AM Best or (f) the equivalent by KBRA.

(e)       No provision of this Section 3.11 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer or the Special Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to request, upon receipt of a written request from any Certificateholder, and the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, a certificate of insurance from the surety and insurer certifying that such insurance is in full force and effect. The Certificate Administrator shall make any such certificate of insurance available to the requesting Certificateholder on a confidential basis.

(f)       The Operating Advisor shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement an “errors and omissions” insurance policy, 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 3.12.    Procedures with Respect to the Trust Loan; Realization upon the Property. (a)  Upon the occurrence of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents and consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall promptly pursue the remedies set forth therein, including foreclosure or other realization on the Property and the other collateral for the Trust Loan. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(b)       Such proposed acceleration of the Trust Loan and/or foreclosure on the Property shall be taken unless the Special Servicer waives such Mortgage Loan Event of Default (or modifies or amends the Whole Loan to cure the Mortgage Loan Event of Default), which the Special Servicer may do if such modification, waiver or amendment is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and does not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (other than the imposition of a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Section 860G(c)) of the Code.

(c)       In connection with such foreclosure as described in Section 3.12(a) or other realization on the Property, the Special Servicer shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to direct the Servicer, and neither the Special Servicer nor the Servicer shall be required, to expend its own funds to restore

 -111-

the Property damaged by an Uninsured Cause unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, permitted the related insurance policy to lapse in violation of its respective obligations hereunder. If the Servicer does expend its own funds to restore the Property damaged by an Uninsured Cause (which insurance policy did not lapse in violation of the Servicer’s obligations), such expense shall be a Property Protection Advance. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer may not foreclose on the Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders and thereby be the beneficial owner of the Property, or take any other action with respect to such item that would cause the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, to be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of the Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined, based on a report prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund by an independent person or entity who regularly conducts site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties (a copy of such report to be provided to the Companion Loan Holders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator by the Special Servicer), that (i) the Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that taking the remedial actions necessary to comply with such laws is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions and (ii) there are no circumstances known to the Special Servicer relating to the use of hazardous substances or petroleum-based materials that require investigation or remediation, or that if such circumstances exist taking such remedial actions is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions. The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Rating Agency, subject to Section 10.17.

If the Special Servicer has so determined based on satisfaction of the criteria in this Section 3.12(d) that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account that the B Notes are junior to the A Notes) (as determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) to institute a foreclosure or take any other actions described in the immediately preceding paragraph, then subject to the rights of (i) the Controlling Class Representative to consent to, and (ii) the Controlling Class Representative and the Operating Advisor to consult in respect of, such action, as applicable, the Special Servicer shall take such proposed action. The Special Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise cause the Trust to acquire ownership of any Collateral other than the Property unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) to the effect that such acquisition will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (other than the imposition of a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Section 860G(c) of the Code).

 -112-

The Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean up or remediation as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(e)       The environmental site assessments contemplated by Section 3.12(d) shall be prepared by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties, as determined by the Servicer in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of each such environmental site assessment shall qualify as a Property Protection Advance and shall be advanced by the Servicer unless the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(f)       Notwithstanding any acquisition of title to the Property following a Mortgage Loan Event of Default under the Whole Loan and cancellation of the Whole Loan, the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan, the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding and, in the case of the Trust Loan, held in the Trust Fund for purposes of the application of collections and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. For purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as the Trust Loan and any Companion Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding, (i) it shall be assumed that the unpaid principal balance of the Trust Loan and any Companion Loan immediately after any discharge is equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Whole Loan immediately prior to such discharge and (ii) Foreclosure Proceeds shall be applied as provided in Section 1.3(b) and the Co-Lender Agreement.

(g)       Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire and hold for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property (including any non-real property Collateral) pursuant to this Section 3.12 unless:

(i)        such personal property is incidental to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or

(ii)       the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance in which case it shall be treated as a trust fund expense) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event at any time that any Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest or Certificate is outstanding (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)).

(h)       Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, obtain title to any direct or indirect  partnership interest or other equity interest, including the membership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower unless 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

 -113-

such partnership interest or other equity interest by the Trust Fund will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

Section 3.13.  Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Items in the Mortgage File.  From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing of the Whole Loan or Foreclosure of or realization on the Property, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of written request of a Servicing Officer of the Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a receipt for release in the form of Exhibit B hereto, release or cause to be released any items from the Mortgage File to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, within the lesser of (i) seven (7) calendar days and (ii) five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the related receipt for release. The Special Servicer shall institute all Foreclosures as an authorized delegate of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders. In the event the Special Servicer cannot institute a Foreclosure in its own name, the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Special Servicer in connection with any prosecution of any Foreclosure (including at the written request of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer, execute such documents furnished to it as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such Foreclosure). Such receipt for release shall obligate the Servicer or the Special Servicer to (and the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall) return such items to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Special Servicer no longer exists.

Section 3.14.  Title and Management of Foreclosed Property. (a) In the event that title to the Property is acquired for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the deed, certificate of sale or other comparable document shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer), on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders or as otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 8.10. Title may be taken in the name of a limited liability company wholly-owned by the Trust and which is managed by the Special Servicer (the costs of which shall be advanced by the Servicer, provided that such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance). Promptly after such acquisition of title, the Special Servicer shall consult with counsel to determine when an Acquisition Date shall be deemed to occur under the REMIC Provisions with respect to such Property, the expense of such consultation being treated as a Property Protection Advance. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, shall dispose of the Foreclosed Property held by the Trust Fund as expeditiously as appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but in any event within the time period, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Section 3.15 and Section 12.2. Subject to Section 11.2 and Section 3.14(e), the Special Servicer shall hire on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders a Successor Manager to manage, conserve, protect and operate such Foreclosed Property for the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such Foreclosed Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) and such that income from the operation or sale of such property does not result in receipt by the Trust Fund of any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code with respect to such property. In connection with such management, the Successor Manager shall be entitled to the REO Management Fee solely from the Foreclosed Property Account or the Collection Account.

 -114-

(b)       The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the Foreclosed Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to the Foreclosed Property a Foreclosed Property Account in either (A) the name of the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust pursuant to Section 3.6 or (B) the name of a limited liability company wholly owned by the Trust and managed by the Special Servicer.

(c)       The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject to Accepted Servicing Practices and the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with the Foreclosed Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account that the B Notes are junior to the A Notes) on such terms as are appropriate and necessary for the efficient operation or liquidation, as applicable, of the Foreclosed Property, so long as the Special Servicer deems such actions to be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer may retain an independent contractor to operate and manage the Foreclosed Property; provided, however, the retention of an independent contractor will not relieve the Special Servicer of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Foreclosed Property.

The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited within 2 Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds in the Foreclosed Property Account all revenues received with respect to the Foreclosed Property, and the Special Servicer shall cause to be withdrawn therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the Foreclosed Property and for other expenses related to the preservation and protection of the Foreclosed Property, including, but not limited to:

(i)        all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of the Foreclosed Property;

(ii)       all taxes, assessments, charges or other similar items in respect of the Foreclosed Property that could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

(iii)      all costs and expenses necessary to preserve the Foreclosed Property, including the payment of ground rent, if any.

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, make a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d)      On or before the last day of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the Foreclosed Property Account and deposit into the Collection Account the proceeds and collections received or collected since the preceding Remittance Date through the Business Day prior to the Remittance Date on or with respect to the Foreclosed Property

 -115-

(including any funds no longer needed in any reserves established as provided below), net of expenses paid therefrom and amounts reasonably expected to be needed to fund any reserves deemed necessary for the operation, preservation and protection of such Foreclosed Property, including without limitation, the creation of reasonable reserves for working capital, repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses.

(e)       The Special Servicer, in the name of the Trust Fund, shall (subject to Section 3.14(a)) contract with any Successor Manager for the operation and management of each Foreclosed Property; provided that no such contract shall impose individual liability on the Trustee or the Trust; provided, further, that:

(i)        the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;

(ii)       any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Successor Manager (A) request that the Special Servicer pay from the Foreclosed Property Account all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such Foreclosed Property, and (B) remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Business Day immediately following receipt, for deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account;

(iii)      none of the provisions of this Section 3.14 relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Successor Manager shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its ordinary and regularly recurring duties and obligations to the Trust Fund on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders with respect to the operation and management of such Foreclosed Property; and

(iv)      the Successor Manager shall be permitted to perform construction (including renovations) on the Foreclosed Property only if the construction was more than 10% complete at the time default on the Whole Loan became imminent.

The Special Servicer shall be entitled, and to the extent required by the REMIC Provisions, shall be required, to enter into an agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. All REO Management Fees shall be Trust Fund Expenses payable from the Foreclosed Property Account or subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(xi). The Special Servicer agrees to monitor the performance of the Successor Manager and to enforce the obligations of the Successor Manager on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders. Expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection herewith shall qualify as Property Protection Advances.

Section 3.15.  Sale of Foreclosed Property.  (a) The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall sell the Foreclosed Property on a servicing released basis as expeditiously as appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices in a manner designed to preserve the capital of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders and not with a view to the

 -116-

maximization of profit, but in no event later than the Rated Final Distribution Date in a manner provided under this Section 3.15 and subject to Section 12.2.

(b)       Subject to the consent or consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in Section 6.5 and the consultation rights of the Operating Advisor set forth in Section 3.27, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash offer for the Foreclosed Property received from any person that is at least equal to the Par Price attributable to the Foreclosed Property. In the absence of any such offer, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash offer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, that the Special Servicer (or the Trustee as provided in the next sentence) determines is a fair price based on Appraisals obtained within the last nine (9) months. If the highest offeror is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine the fairness of the highest offer based upon an Appraisal (which may be an Appraisal obtained in the last nine (9) months by the Special Servicer) obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund, and the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of such Appraisal; provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) if such offer is less than the applicable Par Price, at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.15 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 years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the Foreclosed Property that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Foreclosed Property. 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. Any such determination of a fair price of the Foreclosed Property by the Trustee will be binding on all parties absent manifest error. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by, the Trustee or any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be paid in advance by the Interested Person as a condition to the Trustee’s determination; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. The requirements of this Agreement may result in lower sales proceeds than would otherwise be the case. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the rights of the Companion Loan Holders and the Controlling Class Representative and the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the higher cash offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account that the B Notes are junior to the A Notes), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any person other than an Interested Person) if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account that the B Notes are junior to A Notes. Any Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate, the Controlling Class Representative or any Affiliate of the foregoing shall be entitled to participate in, and submit an offer in connection with, any sale of Foreclosed Property, to the same extent as any other Certificateholder; provided that any such Holder of a Controlling Class

 -117-

Certificate and the Controlling Class Representative shall for all purposes be considered an Interested Person. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its affiliates will be permitted to make an offer for or purchase any Foreclosed Property.

(c)       Subject to the provisions of Section 3.14, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of the Foreclosed Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of a Foreclosed Property shall be without recourse to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust Fund) and if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Special Servicer shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price thereof accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(d)      The proceeds of any sale effected pursuant to this Section 3.15, after deduction of the expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall be deposited in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(a).

(e)       Within 30 days of the sale of a Foreclosed Property, if not previously included in a CREFC^® Report provided by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders and the Certificate Administrator a statement of accounting for the Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date the Foreclosed Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, (ii) the date of disposition of the Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest with respect to the Repurchase Price of the Foreclosed Property, calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may reasonably request.

(f)       In connection with the acquisition of the Foreclosed Property pursuant to Section 3.15(b), if the value (as determined by an Appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer at the time of such foreclosure, the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance) of such Foreclosed Property on the date of the completion of the transfer of the last remaining portion of the Property by foreclosure is less than the estimated Excess Liquidation Reference Amount as of that date, then the Holders or Beneficial Owners of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Certificate Balance (without regard to Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Realized Losses) of the Class ELP Certificates (the “Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option Holder”) will have the right to exercise the option (referred to herein as, the “Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option”) pursuant to which they will be deemed to have acquired, in connection with and immediately prior to the consummation of the sale of the Foreclosed Property to a third party, all of the Trust’s interests in the Foreclosed Property (or, if the Special Servicer has transferred the entire Foreclosed Property to a single member limited liability company holding only the Foreclosed Property (the “REO LLC”), the Trust’s Proportionate Share of the interests in the REO LLC) for the Excess Liquidation Purchase Price. The Excess

 -118-

Liquidation Proceeds Option shall be assignable only to an Affiliate of such Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option Holder.

(g)       The Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option may only be cash settled on the closing of a sale of all of the Foreclosed Property by the Trust or the REO LLC, as applicable, to a third-party purchaser, and only if the Net Liquidation Proceeds realized in connection with such sale exceed the Excess Liquidation Reference Amount by 5%. Upon the closing of any qualifying sale to a third-party purchaser, the Special Servicer shall deliver, or shall cause the REO LLC to deliver, to the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option Holder a cash settlement amount equal to the Trust’s Proportionate Share of the excess of (i) the Net Liquidation Proceeds over (ii) the Excess Liquidation Reference Amount.

For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise of the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option will only be permitted in conjunction with, or following, a “qualified liquidation” (as defined in the REMIC Provisions) of each Trust REMIC.

Section 3.16.  Sale of Whole Loan and the Trust Loan. (i) Promptly upon the Whole Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) an Appraisal. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to promptly notify in writing the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Companion Loan Holders and the Operating Advisor of the occurrence of such Special Servicing Loan Event. Upon delivery by the Servicer of the notice described in the preceding sentence, and subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative and the Operating Advisor, and to the right of the Mezzanine Lender to purchase the Whole Loan pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer may offer to sell to any Person the Whole Loan or may offer to purchase the Whole Loan, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) (taking into account that the B Notes are junior to the A Notes) on a net present value basis. The Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), Companion Loan Holders and the Operating Advisor not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Whole Loan, in which case the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person (other than any Interested Person) for the Whole Loan in an amount at least equal to the Par Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Par Price therefor, the Special Servicer may purchase the Whole Loan at the Par Price. Any Companion Loans are to be sold together with the Trust Loan, subject to this Section 3.16 and any additional requirements set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement.

(ii)       In the absence of any offer at least equal to the Par Price (or purchase by the Special Servicer at the Par Price), the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer that is determined by the Special Servicer (or the Trustee as provided in the next sentence) to be a fair price for the Whole Loan, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. If the highest offeror is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine the

 -119-

fairness of the highest offer based upon an Appraisal (which may be an Appraisal obtained in the last nine (9) months by the Special Servicer) obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund, and the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of such Appraisals; provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) if such offer is less than the applicable Par Price, at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. 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 or as a Trust Fund Expense, as described below) designate an Independent Appraiser that is an expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the Whole Loan, and such Independent Appraiser shall be selected with reasonable care by the Trustee for the purpose of determining whether such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Whole Loan. If the Trustee designates such an Independent Appraiser to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such Independent Appraiser’s determination. Any such determination of a fair price of the Whole Loan by the Trustee shall be binding on all parties absent manifest error. The reasonable costs of all Appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by the Trustee or any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be paid in advance by the Interested Person as a condition of the Trustee’s determination; provided that the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. Any Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate, the Controlling Class Representative or any Affiliate of the foregoing will be entitled to participate in, and submit an offer in connection with, any sale of the Whole Loan to the same extent as any other Certificateholder; provided that any such Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate and the Controlling Class Representative shall for all purposes be considered an Interested Person.

(iii)      The Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of the Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account that the B Notes are junior to the A Notes). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of the Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Holders of the Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account that the B Notes are junior to the A Notes) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable in other respects), provided that the offeror is not the holder of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of any of them. So long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the foregoing rights of the Special Servicer shall be subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative. The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to sell the Whole Loan prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sale by the Special Servicer of the Whole Loan is subject to the right of the Mezzanine Lender to exercise its option to

 -120-

purchase the Whole Loan following a default as described under the Intercreditor Agreement (and such purchase price is subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement).

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

(b)       The right of the Special Servicer to purchase or sell the Whole Loan after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event shall terminate, and shall not be exercisable as set forth in clause (a) above (or if exercised but the purchase of the Whole Loan has not yet occurred, the Special Servicer’s right shall terminate and such exercise shall be of no further force or effect) if the Whole Loan is no longer delinquent as a result of any of the following: (i) the Special Servicing Loan Event has ceased pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Whole Loan has become subject to a fully executed agreement reflecting the terms of the workout arrangement, (iii) the Whole Loan has otherwise been resolved (including by a full or discounted pay-off) or (iv) the Mezzanine Lender exercises its purchase option set forth under the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c)       Any sale of the Whole Loan shall be for cash only, and shall be in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement.

(d)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special Servicer shall not sell the Whole Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(a) without the written consent of the Companion Loan Holders (provided that such consent is not required from a Companion Loan Holder if such Companion Loan Holder is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the Companion Loan Holders: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Whole Loan; (b) at least 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 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the Property, and any documents in the Mortgage File reasonably requested by such Companion Loan Holder that are material to the price of the 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) 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 Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that such Companion Loan Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. The Companion Loan Holders will be permitted to make offers to purchase, and any such Holder is permitted to be the purchaser at any sale of, the Whole Loan.

Section 3.17.  Servicing Compensation. (a) The Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan payable monthly from the Collection Account or otherwise in accordance with and subject to Section 3.4(c). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain as compensation any late payment charges and certain other customary charges and fees to the extent described below, as well as reimbursement for all other

 -121-

costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder, in each case, to the extent actually received from the Mortgage Loan Borrower and permitted by, or not prohibited by, and to be allocated to such amounts by the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement, other than: (i) fees of any sub-servicer and the expenses of any sub-servicer that would not be reimbursable to Servicer if such expenses were incurred by the Servicer; (ii) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (iii) overhead expenses of the Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Servicer’s accounting system or otherwise to the Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Servicer associated with employees of the Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Servicer hereunder; and (iv) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in performing its obligations hereunder (collectively, the “Servicer Customary Expenses”). So long as no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any late payment fees and Default Interest to the extent provided in Section 3.17(b) (including any late payment fees and Default Interest collected after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event but accrued prior to such Special Servicing Loan Event), release fees, assumption fees, assumption application fees, consent fees, substitution fees, Modification Fees (subject to the last paragraph of this Section 3.17), loan service transaction fees and similar fees and expenses to the extent, with respect to any such amounts, collected and allocated to such amounts as permitted by (or not otherwise prohibited by) the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be entitled to retain any Default Interest or any late payment charges, with respect to the Whole Loan, with respect to which a default thereunder or Mortgage Loan Event of Default is continuing unless and until such default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default has been cured and all delinquent amounts (including any Default Interest) due with respect to the Whole Loan have been paid in full and all interest on Advances has been paid in full. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account and any Reserve Account (to the extent not payable to the Mortgage Loan Borrower).

If a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Special Servicing Fee with respect to the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan for so long as such Special Servicing Loan Event continues as well as reimbursement for all other costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder other than: (i) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (ii) overhead expenses of the Special Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Special Servicer’s accounting system or otherwise to the Special Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Special Servicer associated with employees of the Special Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder; and (iii) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Special Servicer in performing its obligations hereunder (the “Special Servicer Customary Expenses”). No Workout Fee shall be payable to the Special Servicer if the Mezzanine Lender purchases the Trust Loan pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement (so long as such purchase occurs within 90 days after notice of the applicable event giving rise to the Mezzanine Lender’s option is delivered to the Mezzanine Lender; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, if there are one or more purchase option trigger events that occur following an initial purchase option trigger event, such

 -122-

90 day period shall commence on the date the first notice of the initial purchase option trigger event was given to the Mezzanine Lender). If a Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated following resolution of such Special Servicing Loan Event by a written agreement with the Mortgage Loan Borrower negotiated by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Workout Fee. If at any time the Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to collect all Mortgage Loan Borrower’s Reimbursable Trust Fund Expenses pursuant to Section 17.5(b) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (including, but not limited to, any Special Servicing Fee, Liquidation Fee and/or Workout Fee), including exercising all remedies available under the Mortgage Loan Agreement that would be in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, specifically taking into account the costs or likelihood of success of any such collection efforts and the Realized Loss that would be incurred by Certificateholders in connection therewith as opposed to the Realized Loss that would be incurred as a result of not collecting such amounts from the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Workout Fee or a Liquidation Fee, but not both.

If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns after such written agreement is entered into and before or after the Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees on all payments of principal and interest made on the Whole Loan following such written agreement (negotiated by such Special Servicer prior to its termination or resignation) for so long as another Special Servicing Loan Event does not occur and the successor Special Servicer shall have no rights with respect to such Workout Fee. In addition, subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of “Liquidation Fee”, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to any Liquidated Property or any full, partial or discounted payoff of the Specially Serviced Loan or the sale or liquidation of the Specially Serviced Loan or any portion thereof as to which the Special Servicer receives Liquidation Proceeds. The Special Servicing Fee and any Liquidation Fee payable from Liquidation Proceeds (and not the Mortgage Loan Borrower) shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.4(c). The Special Servicer during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any late payment fees (to the extent provided in Section 3.17(b)), Default Interest (to the extent provided in Section 3.17(b)), release fees, assumption fees, assumption application fees, substitution fees, Modification Fees (subject to the last paragraph of this Section 3.17), consent fees, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, loan service transaction fees and similar fees and expenses and any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account.

With respect to any of the preceding fees as to which both the Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof, the 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 (without the consent of the affected party) (A) neither the 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 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

 -123-

right to share in any part of the other party’s portion of such fee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the 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 Servicer had charged a fee and the Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for an expense incurred under this Agreement or in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder unless (i) the amount of such payment to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is reimbursed to the Trust Fund by the Mortgage Loan Borrower (to the extent the Mortgage Loan Borrower is required to do so under the Mortgage Loan Agreement); (ii) failure of the Mortgage Loan Borrower to reimburse for such payment constitutes a Mortgage Loan Event of Default; (iii) such expense is an “unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) or is otherwise an unanticipated expense (it being understood that the Servicer Customary Expenses and the Special Servicer Customary Expenses are not unanticipated); or (iv) such reimbursement is expressly provided for herein or such expense is expressly described herein as an expense of the Trust Fund or as an Advance.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Servicing Fee (or the Special Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Special Servicing Fee) or other servicing compensation provided for herein shall be made, and any such attempted transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall be void, unless such transfer is made to a successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with the assumption by such successor of the duties hereunder pursuant to Section 7.2.

KeyBank 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), to any QIB or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Benefit 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 X-1 hereto, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to KeyBank National Association and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit X-2 hereto. None of the Depositor, the Trustee 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. KeyBank 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 KeyBank 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 Initial

 -124-

Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer 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. Following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right or the termination of KeyBank National Association as the Servicer, the Person then acting as the Servicer, shall pay, out of each amount paid to such Servicer as Servicing Fees, the related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fees to such Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to such 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 Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator 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 Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer on the Determination Date, and the Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received, or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, without charge on the Remittance 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.

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 and appraisal fees or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, the Mortgage Loan Borrower, any Property Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of the Whole Loan and any purchaser of the Whole Loan (or a portion thereof) or any Foreclosed Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of the Whole Loan, the management or disposition of any Foreclosed Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.17; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be entitled to 50% of any Modification Fees incurred in connection with the extension of the Maturity Date of the Trust Loan or the Companion Loan to which Special Servicer’s consent is required pursuant to clause (vii)(c) of the definition of Special Servicing Loan Event and (ii) the Servicer and the Special Servicer, in the absence of a Special Servicing Loan Event, shall each be entitled to 50% of any Modification Fees, assumption fees (excluding assumption application fees) or consent fees in connection with any Major Decision for which the Special Servicer’s consent is required.

 -125-

(b)       In determining the compensation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Default Interest and late payment charges, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate Default Interest and late payment charges actually collected on the Whole Loan during the related Collection Period shall be applied (in such order) to reimburse (i) the Servicer and the Trustee for all Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Advances) made by each and not previously reimbursed from late payments received during the applicable period on the Whole Loan, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds (to the extent not needed for the repair or restoration of the Property) and other collections on the Whole Loan, (ii) to the extent not previously reimbursed by the Mortgage Loan Borrower as a Mortgage Loan Borrower’s Reimbursable Trust Fund Expense, the Servicer and the Trustee for unpaid interest on such Advances at the Advance Rate, and (iii) the Trust for all Trust Fund Expenses. Default Interest and late payment charges remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Servicer, if and to the extent accrued on the Trust Loan for so long as no Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing, and to the Special Servicer, if and to the extent accrued on the Trust Loan during a Special Servicing Loan Event. Any Default Interest or late payment charges paid or payable as additional servicing compensation to the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be distributed between the Servicer and the Special Servicer, on a pro rata basis, based on the Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s respective entitlements to such compensation described in the previous sentence.

Section 3.18.  Reports to the Certificate Administrator; Account Statements. (a) The Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Certificate Administrator, in an electronic format which format is reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, not later than (i) 4:00 p.m. (New York time) two Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File and (ii) 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the remaining CREFC^® Reports (except the CREFC^® Bond Level File, the CREFC^® Collateral Summary File, the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File, the CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Report and the CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheet). The Certificate Administrator shall prepare the CREFC^® Bond Level File.

The Servicer shall make the CREFC^® Reports (except the CREFC^® Bond Level File, the CREFC^® Collateral Summary File, the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File, the CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Report and CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheet) available (i) prior to the securitization of the Companion Loan, to the Companion Loan Holders on each Distribution Date; and (ii) following the securitization of the Companion Loan, to the master servicer of the Other Securitization Trust no later than 2 Business Days after the Determination Date.

In addition, the Servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) shall prepare and make available to any Privileged Person on the Servicer’s internet website (initially, www.key.com/key2cre), and the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan and Foreclosed Property) shall prepare and deliver to the Servicer (who shall promptly make available to any Privileged Person on the Servicer’s internet website (initially, www.key.com/key2cre) with respect to the Property and Foreclosed Property, a CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Report and a CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheet within 30 days after the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, receipt of each of the Mortgage Loan Borrower’s quarterly financials

(commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2021) and annually within 30 days after receipt of the Mortgage Loan Borrower’s annual financials for the year ending December 31, 2021); provided, however, that any analysis or report with respect to the first calendar quarter of each year will not be required to the extent not required to be provided in the then current applicable CREFC^® guidelines. Additionally, the Servicer shall deliver the CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Report and the CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheet on a monthly basis to the Certificate Administrator; provided, however, the Servicer shall have no obligation to update such reports except as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraphs, and no analysis shall be required to the extent such analysis or update is not required to be provided under the then current applicable CREFC^® guidelines.

In addition, on a calendar quarterly basis within 30 days after the Servicer’s receipt of each of the Mortgage Loan Borrower’s quarterly financial statements (commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2021), the Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received, or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator such financial statements.

None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for the completeness or accuracy of such information (except that the Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to correct patent errors).

If any of the parties to this Agreement receives a Form ABS Due Diligence-15E from any party in connection with any third-party due diligence services such party may have provided with respect to the Trust Loan (“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.

The cost of the annual inspections referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be an expense of the Servicer; the cost of all additional inspections referred to in this paragraph shall be a Trust Fund Expense and if paid by the Servicer shall constitute a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance.

The Certificate Administrator shall post such report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b).

 -128-

The Special Servicer (when the Trust Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan) and the Servicer (when the Trust Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan) shall make reasonable efforts to collect promptly and review from the Mortgage Loan Borrower quarterly and annual operating statements, financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the Property, and the quarterly and annual financial statements of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, whether or not delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents and any other reports or documents required to be delivered under the terms of the Whole Loan, if delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be required to request such operating statements or rent rolls more than once if the Mortgage Loan Borrower is not required to deliver such statements pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. In addition, the Special Servicer shall cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls to be regularly prepared in respect of the Foreclosed Property and shall collect all such items promptly following their preparation. The Special Servicer shall deliver all such items to the Servicer within five (5) Business Days of receipt, and the Servicer shall make available on its website copies of all the foregoing items so collected to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Depositor, in electronic format, in each case within 30 days of its receipt thereof, but in no event, in the case of annual statements, later than June 30 of each year commencing June 30, 2022. Upon the request of any Privileged Person (other than the NRSROs) to receive copies of such items, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver electronic copies of such items to the Certificate Administrator to be posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Upon request of the Rating Agency, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver copies of all the foregoing items so collected thereby to the 17g-5 Information Provider pursuant to Section 10.17.

Section 3.23.  Advances.  (a) In the event that a Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) (other than the Balloon Payment) or any portion of a Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) (other than any Balloon Payment) on the Trust Loan has not been received by the Servicer by the close of the Business Day immediately prior to the Remittance Date, the Servicer, subject to its determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, shall make an advance on such Remittance Date to the Distribution Account, in an amount equal to the Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable), or any such portion of the Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) on such Trust Loan that was delinquent as of the close of the Business Day immediately prior to such Remittance Date, in each case, net of the Servicing Fee (which will not be paid to the Servicer until the funds in the Collection Account are available for payment of such fee); provided that neither the Servicer nor any other party shall be entitled to interest accrued on the amount of any Monthly Payment Advance with respect to the Trust Loan if the related Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) in respect of the Trust Loan is received by the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by 2:00 p.m., New York time, on such Remittance Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the amount of interest on the Trust Loan is reduced as a result of any modification to the Trust Loan, any future Monthly Payment Advance made with respect to such modified Trust Loan shall be in such amounts as may be required as a result of such reduction. The Servicer shall not be required to, and shall not make, any advance of principal or interest with respect to any delinquent payment on the Mezzanine Loan. The Servicer shall maintain a record of each Monthly Payment Advance it has made pursuant to this Section 3.23(a) on the Trust Loan and shall notify the Certificate Administrator thereof in the appropriate CREFC^® Reports in order to permit allocation thereof pursuant to

 -129-

Sections 3.4 and 3.5. In the event that the Servicer does not remit any amounts required to be remitted to the Certificate Administrator on each Remittance Date (including any amounts required to be remitted pursuant to Section 3.5 and any required Monthly Payment Advance) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator interest on such amounts at the federal funds rate for the period from and including the Remittance Date to but excluding the Distribution Date or, if earlier, the actual remittance date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Monthly Payment Advance is made with respect to the Trust Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, then that Monthly Payment Advance, together with interest thereon, shall be reimbursed (with respect to both the related A Notes and the B Notes), pro rata and pari passu with monthly interest advances on the Companion Loan.

At any time that an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, the amount that would otherwise be required to be advanced by the Servicer in respect of delinquent payments of principal and interest on the Trust Loan shall be reduced by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan minus the applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount (or portion thereof allocable to the Trust Loan pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement) and the denominator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan.

(b)       Subject to Section 3.23(e), the Servicer shall advance for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, to the extent it determines that such amount is recoverable, all customary and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its servicing obligations, including, but not limited, to the costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) the preservation, restoration, operation and protection of the Property which, in the Servicer’s sole discretion, exercised in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, are necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust Fund’s interest in the Property, (ii) the payment of (A) real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges that may be levied or assessed against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any of its Affiliates or the Property or revenues from the Property or which become liens on the Property, (B) insurance premiums, and (C) the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the extent not paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower that are incurred in connection with assumption of the Whole Loan or a release of the Property from the liens of the Mortgage, (iii) any enforcement or judicial proceedings, including foreclosures and including, but not limited to, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs for third-party experts, including appraisers and environmental and engineering consultants, and (iv) the management, operation and liquidation of the Property if the Property is acquired by the Special Servicer or its Affiliate in the name of the Trust (collectively, “Property Protection Advances”). During the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall give the Servicer and the Trustee not less than five Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Servicer is requested to make any Property Protection Advance with respect to the Whole Loan or the Foreclosed Property; provided, however, that only three Business Days’ written notice shall be required in respect of Property Protection Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis (which may

 -130-

include, without limitation, Property Protection Advances required to make tax or insurance payments). In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer with such information in its possession as the Servicer may reasonably request to enable the Servicer to determine whether a requested Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Servicer make an Advance, the Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Special Servicer will have no obligation to make any Advances.

(c)       To the extent the Servicer fails to make an Advance that it is required to make under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be required to make such Advance pursuant to Section 7.6. It is understood that the obligation of the Servicer and the Trustee (pursuant to Section 7.6) to make such Advances is mandatory, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, and shall continue to apply after any modification or amendment of the Whole Loan pursuant to Section 3.24 hereof, beyond the Maturity Date of the Whole Loan if a payment default shall have occurred on such date and through any court appointed stay period or similar payment delay resulting from any insolvency of a Mortgage Loan Borrower or related bankruptcy, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the requirement of recoverability, and shall continue, subject to the requirement of recoverability, until the earlier of (i) the payment in full of the Trust Loan and (ii) the date on which the Property becomes liquidated.

(d)      Interest on each Advance made by the Servicer or the Trustee shall accrue for each day that such Advance is outstanding at a rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate (the “Advance Rate”) for each such day (or the most recent day on which the Prime Rate was reported, if not reported on such day) on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed in a month. Interest on the Advances shall compound annually.

(e)       Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be obligated to make an Advance only to the extent that the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has determined that such Advance, together with any previous unreimbursed Advances and interest on all those Advances at the Advance Rate, would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance if made. The Trustee and the Servicer, in that order, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any such Advances from the Collection Account and shall obtain such reimbursement in accordance with Section 3.4(c). If the context requires, each reference to the reimbursement or payment of an Advance shall be deemed to include, whether or not specifically referred to, payment or reimbursement of interest thereon at the Advance Rate through the date of payment or reimbursement.

(f)       The determination by the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Companion Loan Holders, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), and the Trustee in electronic format which format is reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (if such determination is made by the Servicer), detailing the reasons for such determination with supporting documentation attached. Such Officer’s

 -131-

Certificate shall be made available to any Privileged Person by the Certificate Administrator posting such Officer’s Certificate to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b). The costs of obtaining any appraisals, reports, surveys and other information requested by the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, establishing an Advance as a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be treated as Trust Fund Expenses, payable from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c), and shall constitute a Property Protection Advance, as applicable, if paid by the Servicer or the Trustee from its own funds. The Servicer’s determination of nonrecoverability in accordance with the above provisions shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively thereupon. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall make such determination in its reasonable business judgment.

(g)       The Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, is not obligated to advance or pay (i) the delinquent scheduled payments with respect to any Companion Loan, (ii) any Balloon Payment with respect to the Companion Loan or the Trust Loan (but is required to advance the Assumed Monthly Payment with respect to the Trust Loan), (iii) any Default Interest, (iv) amounts required to cure any damages resulting from Uninsured Causes (except as required pursuant to Section 3.12(c)), any failure of the Property to comply with any applicable law, including any environmental law, or (except in connection with the foreclosure or other acquisition of the Property in accordance with Section 3.12 upon the occurrence of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default) to investigate, test, monitor, contain, clean up, or remedy an environmental condition present at the Property, (v) any losses arising with respect to defects in the title to the Property, (vi) any costs of capital improvements to the Property other than those necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust’s or the Companion Loan Holders’ interest in the Property, (vii) any yield maintenance amounts or prepayment premiums, (viii) any delinquent payments on any repurchased Trust Note or (ix) any delinquent payments on the Mezzanine Loan.

(h)       The Servicer or the Trustee may consider (among other things) the following when making a non-recoverability determination: (a) the obligations of the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the terms of the Whole Loan as it may have been modified, (b) the Property in its “as is” or then-current condition and occupancy, (c) future expenses and (d) the timing of recoveries, in the case of clauses (b) through (d), each as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices in the case of the Servicer or in its commercially reasonable 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 the Property.

Section 3.24.  Modifications of Mortgage Loan Documents. (a) The Servicer (if no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, but subject to the consent rights of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.5(a)) or the Special Servicer (during a Special Servicing Loan Event), subject to the rights of the Mezzanine Lender under the Intercreditor Agreement, may modify, waive or amend any term of the Trust Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (A) is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and (B) does not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or cause any REMIC related to any Companion Loan Securities to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the Code (and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may obtain and be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel in connection with such determination). Notwithstanding anything herein to

 -132-

the contrary, in no event may the Servicer or the Special Servicer permit an extension of the Maturity Date beyond the date that is the seven years prior to the latest Rated Final Distribution Date. In connection with (i) the release of the Property or portion thereof from the lien of the Mortgage or (ii) the taking of the Property or portion thereof by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the Mortgage Loan Documents require the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining portion of the Property, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the Trust Loan, then, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any.

(b)       All modifications, waivers or amendments of the Whole Loan shall be in writing and shall be effected in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Companion Loan Holders and the Depositor, in writing, of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of the Whole Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Custodian an original and, if applicable, recorded counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment within ten (10) Business Days following the execution and, if applicable, recordation thereof with a copy to the Operating Advisor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative. If the Whole Loan is modified, the Whole Loan Rate on each Trust Note shall not change for purposes of distributions on the Certificates. In the event the Servicer or Special Servicer adversely modifies the interest rate applicable to any Note, any aggregate adverse economic effect of the modification shall be applied to the Certificates, in reverse order of seniority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall modify the Net Trust Loan Rate unless the Whole Loan is in default or default is reasonably foreseeable.

(c)       Subject to Section 3.26, any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents that requires a Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents, or any modification that would eliminate, modify or alter the requirement of obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation in the Mortgage Loan Documents, shall not be made without the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, first receipt of such Rating Agency Confirmation. Such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the Mortgage Loan Borrower’s expense in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement or, if not so provided in the Mortgage Loan Agreement or if the Mortgage Loan Borrower does not pay, at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(d)      Promptly after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator the name and contact information of the current Controlling Class Representative and the Certificate Administrator upon such request shall provide the name and contact information of the Controlling Class Representative to the Special Servicer. Upon receipt of the name and contact information of such current Controlling Class Representative from the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for providing the

 -133-

name and contact information of the current Controlling Class Representative only to the extent the Controlling Class Representative has identified itself and its contact information as such to the Certificate Administrator substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4; provided that if the Controlling Class Representative is determined pursuant to the proviso in the definition of “Controlling Class Representative”, then (i) the Certificate Administrator shall determine which Class is the Controlling Class and (ii) the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall request from the Depository at the expense of the Trust, the list of Beneficial Holders of the Controlling Class, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide (on a reasonably prompt basis) such list to the Special Servicer and the Servicer at the expense of the Trust.

(e)       Subject to Section 3.26, prior to implementing any of the actions described in clauses (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (x) or (xii) of the definition of “Major Decision”, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer and Special Servicer may, subject to certain conditions (but without any Rating Agency Confirmation) grant the Mortgage Loan Borrower’s request for consent to subject the Property to an easement, right-of-way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another similar purpose and may consent to subordination of the Whole Loan to such easement, right-of-way or similar agreement.

Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer may enter into or structure (including, without limitation, by way of the application of credits, discounts, forgiveness or otherwise) any modification, waiver, amendment, work-out, consent or approval with respect to the Whole Loan, in a manner that would be inconsistent with the allocation and payment priorities set forth under Section 1.3(a) or Section 1.3(b), unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that such modification, waiver, amendment, work-out, consent or approval is in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender); provided, however, in no event may any such modification, waiver, amendment, work-out, consent or approval have the effect of placing amounts payable as compensation, or otherwise reimbursable, to the Servicer or the Special Servicer in a higher priority than that which is provided in the allocation and payment priorities set forth under Section 1.3(a) or Section 1.3(b).

Any fees or other charges charged by the Special Servicer in connection with processing any Payment Accommodation with respect to the Whole Loan (in the aggregate with each other such Payment Accommodation with respect to the Whole Loan), in each case as a result of the COVID-19 emergency, may not exceed an amount equal to 0.30% of the unpaid principal balance of the Whole Loan (excluding attorneys’ fees and third party expenses) (the “Payment Accommodation Fee Cap”) and may only be borne by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, not the Trust. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Mortgage Loan Borrower default under a Payment Accommodation, the Payment Accommodation Fee Cap would only apply to the initial processing of such Payment Accommodation, and otherwise the Special Servicer would be entitled to all fees that would be payable to it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 -134-

Section 3.25.  Servicer and Special Servicer May Own Certificates. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and any agent thereof in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Servicer, the Special Servicer or such agent except as otherwise provided herein subject to the restrictions on voting set forth in the definition of Certificateholder.

Section 3.26.  Rating Agency Confirmations. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any Mortgage Loan Documents, the Co-Lender Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Mortgage Loan Documents or this Agreement requires a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) attempting to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency has made a request to the Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within 10 Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, the Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that the Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation, then such Requesting Party shall be required (without providing notice to the Depositor) to (i) confirm that the Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again and (ii) if there is no response to either Rating Agency Confirmation request within five Business Days of such confirmation or such second request (after seeking to confirm that the Rating Agency received such second Rating Agency Confirmation request), as applicable, then (x) with respect to any condition in the Mortgage Loan Documents requiring a Rating Agency Confirmation or any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Whole Loan (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is a Mortgage Loan Borrower, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) will be required to determine, in accordance with its duties under this Agreement and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether or not such action would be in the best interest of Certificateholders, and if the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is a Mortgage Loan Borrower, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that such action would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders, then the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation will not apply (provided, however, with respect to the release or substitution of any collateral relating to the Trust Loan, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement that the Servicer or Special Servicer would have been permitted to waive pursuant to this Agreement will not apply without any such determination by the Requesting Party (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) (it being understood that the Requesting Party (or the Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as applicable) will in any event review the conditions required under the Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to such release and confirm to its satisfaction in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that such conditions (other than the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation) have been satisfied)), and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition will not apply if such Servicer or Special Servicer is a Qualified Servicer. For all other matters or actions (a) not specifically discussed above in clauses (x) or (y) or (b) that are not the subject of a Rating Agency Declination, the applicable Requesting Party shall be required to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency.

(b)       Any Rating Agency Confirmation requests made by the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing (an email shall be sufficient as a writing), which writing shall contain a

 -135-

cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, reasonably deems necessary for the Rating Agency (including any Companion Loan Rating Agency) to process such request. Subject to Section 10.17, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, shall furnish such written Rating Agency Confirmation request to the Rating Agency, in accordance with the delivery instructions set forth in Section 10.17.

(c)       Promptly following the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s determination to take any action described in Section 3.26(a) without receiving Rating Agency Confirmation, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, applicable, shall, subject to Section 10.17, provide written notice to the Rating Agency.

(d)      Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of the Certificates, acknowledges and agrees to the foregoing with respect to Rating Agency Confirmations.

(e)      Notwithstanding the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the other provisions of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, with respect to any Companion Loan as to which there exists Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the Whole Loan or the Foreclosed Property (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 Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee or Certificate Administrator, 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 Companion Loan Securities will be subject to, will be permitted to be waived by the Servicer and the Special Servicer on, and will be deemed not to apply on, the same terms and conditions applicable to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations, as set forth in this Agreement; provided, that the Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee or Certificate Administrator, 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 or special servicer, as applicable), the counterpart providing or posting Rule 17g-5 information, or such other party or parties (as are agreed to by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, 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 Mortgage Loan Borrower, 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 Companion Loan Rating Agency, (ii) all materials forwarded to the 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 17g-5 Information Provider, and (iii) any other materials that the Companion Loan Rating Agency may reasonably request in connection with such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation promptly following such request.

 -136-

Section 3.27.  The Operating Advisor. (a) The Operating Advisor shall promptly review (i) the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to the Trust Loan when it is a Specially Serviced Loan (as provided in Section 3.10(h), Section 3.27 and Section 6.5) and the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to Major Decisions relating to the Trust Loan when it is not a Specially Serviced Loan (as provided in Section 6.5) with respect to which a Major Decision Reporting Package has been delivered to the Operating Advisor, (ii) all reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (iii) each Asset Status Report (but only after the occurrence and 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 Controlling Class Representative in connection with the Controlling Class Representative’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 3.27(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.

With respect to whether a Control Termination Event, Operating Advisor Consultation Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, or has terminated, the Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor are entitled to rely solely on its receipt of notice thereof from the Certificate Administrator (which includes notices posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website) or receipt of notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P from the Controlling Class Representative or a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders (by Certificate Balance), in each case pursuant to this Agreement, and, with respect to any obligations of the Operating Advisor, Servicer or Special Servicer that are performed only after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, Operating Advisor Consultation Event and/or Consultation Termination Event, the Operating Advisor, Servicer or Special Servicer shall have no duty to perform any such obligations until the receipt of such notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, Operating Advisor Consultation Event or Consultation Termination Event, as applicable.

(c)       (i) Based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance, attestation report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report (but only after the occurrence and 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 the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall (if, at any time during the prior calendar year, (i) the Whole Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan or (ii) there existed an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) deliver to the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b)), the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 10.17) and the Depositor within one hundred-twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year,

 -137-

an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit T (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 whether the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer is operating in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices with respect to its performance of its duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year and identifying which, if any, standards the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the Special Servicer has failed to comply; provided, however, that in the event the Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to such 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. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.27(d) hereof, each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations from (i) Accepted Servicing Practices and (ii) the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of any Specially Serviced Loan or Foreclosed Property and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to a Privileged Information Exception). 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 8.14(b)), the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 10.17) and the Depositor; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review and comment on the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Depositor. In preparing the Operating Advisor Annual Report, the Operating Advisor (i) shall not be required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Accepted Servicing Practices 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 and (ii) shall not be required to provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion. 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.

(d)      (i) 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

 -138-

accordance with Section 1.3(d) used in the Special Servicer’s determination of that course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of the Trust Loan when it is a 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 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 3.27(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 Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Special Servicer and provide any information reasonably requested by such Special Servicer necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is in the Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the 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 shall have no specific involvement with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, workouts, modifications, consents, waivers, lockbox management, insurance policies, borrower substitutions, lease changes, additional borrower debt, property management changes, releases from escrow, assumptions and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement. In addition, with respect to the Operating Advisor’s review of net present value or Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, calculations as required in Section 3.27(d) 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 or Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, calculation.

 -139-

(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 Controlling Class Representative, disclose such information to any other Person (including any Certificateholders 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 Accepted Servicing Practices (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, without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) the Controlling Class Representative, 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 4.5.

(h)       As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee on each Distribution Date with respect to the Trust Loan. As to the Trust 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 same principal amount, in the same manner and for the same period respecting which any related interest payment on the Trust Loan is computed.

The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 3.27(i) hereof, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.4. 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 Asset Status Report or 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 3.4 of this Agreement, but only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the Mortgage Loan Borrower. When the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to an Asset Status Report or Major Decision under this Agreement, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use efforts to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the Mortgage Loan Borrower in connection with such Asset Status Report or

 -140-

Major Decision that are consistent with the efforts that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, would use to collect any Mortgage Loan Borrower-paid fees not specified in the Mortgage Loan Agreement owed to it in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan Documents. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the Mortgage Loan Borrower if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but in no event shall the Servicer or such 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 Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.

(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 Operating Advisor of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b), and concurrently by mail at their addresses appearing on the Certificate Register. 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 shall 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 and Beneficial Owner may access notices under the “special notices” tab of a request of a vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and may access certain risk retention notices under the “U.S. Risk Retention Special Notices” tab, and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may register to receive email notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders 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 Certificateholders representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Classes of Certificates) the Trustee shall, promptly terminate all of the rights and responsibilities of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement (other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including accrued and unpaid compensation) and indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination)), by written notice to the Operating Advisor and appoint a replacement

 -141-

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. The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Operating Advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. If the Trustee is unable to find a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor within 30 days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor 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 shall, as soon as possible, give written notice of the termination and appointment to the Special Servicer, the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Controlling Class Representative (only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Certificateholders and the 17g-5 Information Provider.

(k)       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 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 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 Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust.

(l)        [Reserved]

(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 Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Controlling Class Representative, 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 the 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. If no successor Operating Advisor has been so appointed and accepted the appointment within 30 days after the notice of resignation, the resigning Operating Advisor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. The resigning Operating Advisor 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 3.27.

(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 3.27(h) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification provided hereunder.

 -142-

(o)       The parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed, that (i) subject to Section 6.3, 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.

(p)       The Operating Advisor shall not make any investment in any Class of Certificates.

(q)       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 3.27. 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.

(r)       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 Affiliates of the Mortgage Loan Borrower 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 for this transaction; provided, however, the Operating Advisor may consider such experience or knowledge as pertinent information for discussion with the Special Servicer during its periodic meetings.

Section 3.28.  Intercreditor Agreement; Notice of Mortgage Loan Event of Default to Mezzanine Lender.

The Servicer shall give notice of any Mortgage Loan Event of Default to the Mezzanine Lender promptly (and, in the event of the failure to make a payment on its Mortgage Loan Payment Date, such notice shall be given promptly following such Mortgage Loan Payment Date) upon a Servicing Officer of the Servicer gaining actual knowledge of such default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default, as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, whether or not the Servicer is obligated to give notice thereof to the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Such notice to the Mezzanine Lender shall be given by certified mail, return receipt requested, by fax, by e-mail or by a nationally recognized overnight courier. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall exercise the rights of the Trust as successor in interest to the mortgagee under the Intercreditor Agreement. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall comply with and enforce the rights and obligations of the Trust under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The rights of the Trust and the Certificateholders in and under the Whole Loan and the Mortgage Loan

 -143-

Documents shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and each Certificateholder by acceptance of its interest in its Certificate will be deemed to agree to the terms thereof.

Section 3.29.  Credit Risk Retention.  (a) The Third Party Purchaser, prior to its acquisition of Certificates that constitute the Required Third Party Purchaser Retention Amount, will be required to enter into an agreement with the Retaining Sponsor (the “Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreement”).

(b)    None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Custodian shall be obligated to monitor, supervise or enforce the performance of any party under the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreement.

Section 3.30.  [Reserved]

Section 3.31.  Companion Loan Intercreditor Matters.

(a)       If, pursuant to Section 2.8, or Section 3.16 of this Agreement, the Trust Loan is, in its entirety, purchased or repurchased from the Trust Fund, the subsequent holder thereof shall be bound by the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the holder of the Notes related to the Trust Loan under the Co-Lender Agreement. All portions of the Mortgage File and (to the extent provided under the Loan Purchase Agreement) other documents pertaining to the Trust Loan shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the purchaser of the Trust Loan in its capacity as the holder of the Notes related to the Trust Loan (as a result of such purchase, repurchase or substitution) and (except for the actual Notes) on behalf of the holder of the Note that represents the Companion Loan. Thereafter, such Mortgage File shall be held by the holder of the Trust Loan or a custodian appointed thereby for the benefit thereof, on behalf of itself and the Companion Loan Holders as their interests appear under the 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 Whole Loan.

(b)       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but only to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Companion Loan Holders with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan only to the extent required under (and subject to the time periods set forth in) the Co-Lender Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices to each Companion Loan Holder to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement.

(c)       With respect to the Whole Loan, the Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, on an ongoing basis, a statement (which statement may be in the form of a CREFC^® Report) setting forth, to the extent applicable to the Whole Loan:

(i)         (A) the amount of the distribution from the Collection Account allocable to principal and (B) separately identifying the amount of scheduled principal payments, balloon payments, principal prepayments made at the option of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or other principal prepayments (specifying the reason therefor), net liquidation

 -144-

proceeds and foreclosure proceeds included therein and information on distributions made with respect to the Whole Loan;

(ii)       the amount of the distribution from the Collection Account allocable to interest and the amount of Default Interest allocable to the Whole Loan;

(iii)      the amount of the distribution to the Companion Loan Holders, separately identifying the non-default interest, principal and other amounts included therein, and if the distribution to the Companion Loan Holders is less than the full amount that would be distributable to such 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 Whole Loan;

(iv)     the principal balance of each of the Whole Loan and the Companion Loan after giving effect to the distribution of principal as of the end of the related Collection Period; and

(v)      the amount of the servicing compensation paid to the 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 Remittance Date, the Servicer shall make the foregoing statement available to the Companion Loan Holders by electronic means.

(d)      At any time after a Companion Loan has become part of an Other Securitization Trust and provided that the applicable parties hereto have received written notice (which may be by email) thereof including contact information for the master servicer and special servicer with respect to such Other Securitization Trust, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the related Companion Loan Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement shall be delivered to the master servicer and special servicer with respect to such Other Securitization Trust (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to such master servicer and special servicer, the party hereto that is obligated under this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement to deliver such notices, reports, information or other deliverables shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Co-Lender Agreement.

In no event shall any Class of Sequential-Pay Certificates receive distributions in reduction of its Certificate Balance that in the aggregate exceed the Original Certificate Balance of such Class.

(b)       On each Distribution Date, each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests shall be deemed to receive (A) distributions in respect of principal in an amount equal to the amount of principal actually distributable to its respective Related Certificates as provided in Section 4.1(a), and (B) distributions with respect of reimbursement of Realized Losses in an amount equal to the reimbursement of Realized Losses actually distributable to its respective Related Certificates as provided in Section 4.1(g). 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 Distribution Account to be deposited in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account.

As of any date, the principal balance of each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall equal its Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The Pass-Through Rate with respect to each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall be the rate per annum set forth in the Introductory Statement hereto.

Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date after distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and any Yield Maintenance Premiums distributed pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest, but only to the extent of the amount remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, if any).

Distributions to the Holders of the Class R Certificate (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest) from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest) and to other Certificateholders from the Upper-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date shall be made by the Certificate Administrator (after withdrawing any amounts deposited in the Distribution Account in error to the extent funds are available for such purpose) to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 9.1 in respect of the final distribution), by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity

 -147-

located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor; provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date.

(c)       All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.1(a) on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date 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 therefor provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

(d)      The Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as reasonably possible after notice thereof by the Servicer to the Certificate Administrator that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made, 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 shall 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 Certificate from and after the Certificate Interest Accrual Period related to such Distribution Date.

(e)       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 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 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. All such amounts shall be held by the Certificate Administrator in trust in accordance herewith until the expiration of a two-year period following such second notice, notwithstanding any

Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator shall remain uninvested. In the event the Certificate Administrator is permitted or required to invest any amounts in Permitted Investments under this Agreement in the event of its assumption of the duties of, or becoming the successor to, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it shall invest such amounts in Permitted Investments under clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Investments.

The consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required for any such withholding and any information that the Certificate Administrator may need to comply with any withholding requirement shall be furnished to the Certificate Administrator. In the event the Certificate Administrator withholds any amount from interest payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been entirely distributed

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.

The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on all information provided to it by the Servicer or the Special Servicer without independent verification.

(b)       The Certificate Administrator shall, on each Distribution Date make the Distribution Date Statement available to Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b). The Certificate Administrator’s obligation to provide such information to Certificateholders and others shall be contingent on the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such information from the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such information provided to it by the Servicer or the Special Servicer without independent verification. To the extent that the information required to be furnished by the Servicer is based on information required to be provided by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or the Special Servicer, the Servicer’s obligation to furnish such information to the Certificate Administrator shall be contingent on its receipt of such information from the Mortgage Loan Borrower or the Special Servicer, as applicable. To the extent that information required to be furnished by the Special Servicer is based on information required to be provided by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Special Servicer’s obligation to furnish such information shall be contingent upon its receipt of such information from the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on information supplied by the Mortgage Loan Borrower without independent verification.

The Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent provided to it by the Servicer in electronic format, make available to Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b) reports or analyses of net operating income from the Property. Such net operating income reports or analyses shall be prepared pursuant to Section 3.18 hereof by the Servicer in CREFC^® format based on the quarterly, annual and periodic statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property obtained by the Servicer from the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

If so authorized by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator may make available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website to any Privileged Person certain other information with respect to the Whole Loan (subject to the limitations of Section 3.4(c)).

In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall make available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website such information as set forth in Section 8.14(b) herein.

Section 4.5.    Investor Q&A Forum and Investor Registry.  (a) The Certificate Administrator shall make available to Privileged Persons only, 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 who are Privileged Persons may submit questions to (a) the Certificate Administrator relating to the Distribution Date Statement, (b) the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, relating to the reports being made available pursuant to Section 8.14(b)(ii)(B) and Section 8.14(b)(iii)(A), (B) and (C), the Whole Loan or the Property, and (c) the Operating Advisor relating to annual or other reports (including recommendations to replace the Special Servicer) 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 Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the Servicer, the Special

 -153-

Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, in each case via email within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless it determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor shall be by email to the Certificate Administrator. 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, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is not of a type described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust Fund and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Mortgage Loan Documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would, or is, reasonably expected to result in a waiver of attorney client privilege or the disclosure of attorney client work-product; (v) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (vi) answering any Inquiry would violate the applicable confidentiality provisions or (vii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable to answer, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator. 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor shall not answer an Inquiry if it determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is not of a type described in the Trust 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 Mortgage Loan Documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would, or is, reasonably expected to result in a waiver of attorney client privilege or the disclosure of attorney client work-product, (v) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (vi) answering any Inquiry would violate the applicable confidentiality provisions or (vii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable to answer, no inference should be drawn from the fact that the Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor has declined to answer the Inquiry.” No party may post or otherwise disclose information known to such party to be Privileged Information; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation to review any inquiry or answer received by it for posting to the Investor Q&A Forum to determine if such inquiry or answer contains any such direct communication with the Controlling Class Representative, or otherwise to consult with the party from whom such inquiry or answer is received to confirm the same, and the Certificate Administrator shall have no liability in connection with its posting to the Investor Q&A Forum of any inquiry or answer containing such direct communication. 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 Initial Purchasers or the Certificate Administrator (as applicable) or any of their respective Affiliates. None of the Initial Purchasers, Depositor, or any of their respective Affiliates will certify to any of

 -154-

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. In addition to the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of the Investor Certification to confirm that such Person is a Privileged Person, the Certificate Administrator may require acceptance of an additional waiver and disclaimer for access to the Investor Q&A Forum. No party to this Agreement shall be permitted to disclose Privileged Information in the Investor Q&A Forum.

(b)       The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder and any Beneficial Owner, the Investor Registry. The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service via the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where Certificateholders and Beneficial Owners can register and thereafter obtain information with respect to any other Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner that has so registered. Any person registering to use the Investor Registry shall certify that (a) it is a Certificateholder or a Beneficial Owner 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 other registered Certificateholders and registered Beneficial Owners and such other certifications as the Certificate Administrator may require. Such Person shall then be asked to provide 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 Beneficial Owner notifies the Certificate Administrator in writing 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 shall 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. In addition to the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of the Investor Certification to confirm that such Person is a Privileged Person, the Certificate Administrator may require acceptance of a waiver and disclaimer for access to the Investor Registry.

Section 4.6.    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 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, the Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally or knowingly vary the assets of the Grantor Trust so as to take advantage of market fluctuations so as to improve the rate of return of the Regular Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS Form SS-4, 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 applicable Certificates their allocable share of income and expense, as such amounts are received or accrue, as applicable.

 -155-

(c)       As of the Closing Date, no Class ELP Certificate is held through a “middleman.” If the Certificate Administrator receives notice that any Class ELP Certificate is held through a “middleman” as defined by WHFIT Regulations, then the Grantor Trust will be treated as a WHFIT that is a WHMT. In such event, 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 applicable Classes of Certificates, the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that the Depository is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary or is notified by the Depositor. 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.

(d)      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 its website) WHFIT information with respect to the Grantor Trust to the 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.

(e)       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 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, shall 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.

(f)       To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to make available the CUSIPs for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIPs so published shall represent the Rule 144A CUSIPs. The Certificate Administrator will not make available any associated Regulation S CUSIPs. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Trustee shall 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 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 Class HRR Certificates. The Class HRR Certificates to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein.

Under no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping the Class 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 Class 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 Retaining Sponsor’s consent prior to any release of the Class HRR Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall hold the Definitive Certificate representing the Class HRR Certificates at the below location, or any other location; provided the Certificate Administrator has given notice to the Holder of the Class HRR Certificates of such new location:

U.S. Bank National Association

1555 N. Rivercenter Drive, Suite 302

Attn: Trust Securities Processing – SOHO Trust 2021-SOHO

On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver written confirmation to the Depositor, the Retaining Sponsor and the Third Party Purchaser substantially in the form of Exhibit V-1 to this Agreement evidencing its receipt of the Class HRR Certificates.

The Certificate Administrator shall make available electronically to the Holder of the Class HRR Certificates a statement of Third Party Purchaser Safekeeping Account as mutually agreed upon by the Certificate Administrator and the Holder of the Class HRR Certificates, and in accordance with the Certificate Administrator’s policies and procedures. Any transfer of the Class HRR Certificates shall be subject to Article 5 of this Agreement.

 -158-

(e)       In the event the Third Party Purchaser seeks to cause the release of any Class HRR Certificates from the Third Party Purchaser 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 Retaining Sponsor’s consent to such release substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-6. Promptly upon receipt of such request for the Retaining Sponsor’s consent, the Certificate Administrator shall forward such request to the Retaining 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 Retaining Sponsor to the Certificate Administrator in writing). The Certificate Administrator may not consent to, or otherwise permit, any such release without obtaining the Retaining Sponsor’s countersigned request for consent; provided that if the Retaining 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 Retaining Sponsor’s receipt of any such written request for the Retaining Sponsor’s consent, such release will be deemed to have been approved by the Retaining Sponsor. In connection with the release of any Class HRR Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.1(e), the Certificate Administrator shall deliver such released Class HRR Certificates to (or at the direction of) the Holder of such released Class HRR Certificates, via overnight delivery, by any nationally recognized courier, to the location designated by such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the release of any Class HRR Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.1(e) occurs in connection with the termination of the Credit Risk Retention Rule and the Third Party Purchaser desires to exchange the Class HRR Certificates for Global Certificates, the Third Party Purchaser shall (i) first obtain the consent of the Retaining Sponsor pursuant to this Section 5.1(e) and (ii) second comply with the transfer provisions in Section 5.3(g); provided that the Class HRR Certificates may only be exchanged for Global Certificates to the extent the Depository acts as the depository of the Class HRR Certificates in the form of Global Certificates; provided, further the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Depository to act as depository of the Class HRR Certificates in the form of Global Certificates. After the release of any Class HRR Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.1(e), the Certificate Administrator shall have no liability with respect to the safekeeping of such released Class HRR Certificates. 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 8.3.

Section 5.2.    Form and Registration. (a) Each Class of the Certificates (other than the Class ELP, Class HRR (during the HRR Transfer Restriction Period) and Class R Certificates) sold to institutions that are non-”U.S. persons” in “offshore transactions”, as defined in, and in reliance on, Regulation S 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 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 the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and/or Clearstream Banking, Luxembourg (“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

 -159-

Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related permanent global certificate of the same Class (a “Regulation S Global Certificate”) in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.3(f). During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate 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.

(b)       Certificates of each Class (other than the Class ELP Certificates and the Class HRR Certificates (during the HRR Transfer Restriction Period)) offered and sold to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“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” and, together with the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificates and the Regulation S Global Certificates, the “Global 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 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.

(c)       Certificates of each Class (other than the Class R Certificates) that are offered and sold in the United States to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not QIBs, the Class ELP Certificates, the Class HRR Certificates (during the HRR Transfer Restriction Period) 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. Upon the termination of the HRR Transfer Restriction Period, a Holder of a Class HRR Certificate may exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Global Certificate pursuant to Section 5.1(e) and Section 5.3(g).

(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

 -160-

such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Registrar and the Depository are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice; or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the 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; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Global Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Global Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for reregistration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Global Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Global Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement.

(e)       If any Beneficial Owner wishes to transfer its interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a QIB, 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) of Regulation S) that is an Institutional Accredited Investor but not a QIB, 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 5.3(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 5.3(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.

Section 5.3.    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 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 Servicer and the Special Servicer any notices from the Certificateholders.

(b)       Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Article 5, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute,

 -161-

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 Global Certificate to Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.7 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 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 C 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 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 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.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.7 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 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

 -162-

Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit D 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 Global 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 Global Certificate, without any registration of such Certificates under the Securities 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 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.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.7 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 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 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, a certificate in the form of Exhibit E hereto 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 QIB 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

(f)       Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate. Interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global 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 F hereto from the holder of a beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate, shall be exchanged after the Restricted Period, for interests in the Regulation S Global 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 Global Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Balance of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Global 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 Global Certificate. Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Global 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 Global Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Global Certificate and Rule 144A Global Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.7 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

 -164-

(i)        Other Exchanges. In the event that a Global 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 clauses (c) through (f) and (h) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as the case may be) by providing the Certificate Administrator with a completed Exhibit R requesting that such Certificateholder’s Global Certificate be exchanged for a Definitive Certificate and shall include such Certificateholder’s wiring instructions, and shall be in accordance with such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Certificate Registrar.

Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Certificates that do not bear such legend.

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

(m)      No Class C, Class D, Class HRR, Class ELP or Class R Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be (i) an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA, or any “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or other plan that is subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law that is to a material extent similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) (each, a “Benefit Plan”), or (ii) any person acting on behalf of any such Benefit Plan or using the assets of a Benefit Plan to purchase such Certificate, other than, in the case of the Class C, Class D or Class HRR Certificates, an insurance company general account purchasing and holding any such Certificate under circumstances that meet all of the requirements of Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 or, in the case of a plan subject to Similar Law, where the acquisition, holding and disposition of any such Certificate will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law.

Each purchaser or transferee of a Class C, Class D, Class HRR, Class ELP or Class R Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not a Person specified in clause (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 5.3(m). No Class A or Class B Certificates may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Benefit Plan, or any person acting on behalf of a Benefit Plan or using the assets of a Benefit Plan to purchase such Certificate, unless (A) the purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of the Securities Act and (B) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Certificate by the purchaser will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or a non-exempt violation of Similar Law).

(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.

(iv)      The Class R Certificates may only be issued as Definitive Certificates and transferred to and owned by QIBs.

In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.4, 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 5.4 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.

Section 5.5.    Persons Deemed Owners.  The 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 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, 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

 -169-

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 5.6.    Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses; Special Notices.  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.

(b)       The Depositor shall not be obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor may, but shall not be obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee under this Agreement.

(c)       For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any indemnification provisions in this Agreement providing that the Trust or a party to this Agreement is required to indemnify another party to this Agreement for costs, attorney’s fees and expenses, such costs, fees and expenses are intended to include costs, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity.

Section 6.4.    Termination of the Special Servicer.  (a) Subject to the right of the Operating Advisor to recommend the termination of the Special Servicer and recommend a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and the right of the Certificateholders to approve the replacement of the Special Servicer with such Qualified Replacement Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.4(b), at any time prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to terminate the rights (subject to Section 6.3 of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or without cause, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee. Upon a termination (pursuant to the prior sentence) or a resignation of the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative shall appoint a successor Special Servicer; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.2 of this Agreement and (ii) the Controlling Class Representative 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.

 -172-

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights of the Sequential Pay Certificates (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Sequential Pay Certificates) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer with a proposed successor Special Servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer), (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the termination of the existing Special Servicer and the replacement thereof with the proposed successor (with the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation to be an expense of such Holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website and by mailing at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. Upon the written direction of (a) Holders of Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum (taking into account the application of Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Sequential Pay Certificates) or (b) Holders of those Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Interests, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights (subject to Section 6.3 of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, and the proposed successor Special Servicer (if such successor is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) shall succeed to the duties of the Special Servicer all as if a removal and replacement were occurring pursuant to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 of this Agreement; provided that if such written direction is not provided within 180 days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 6.4(a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Special Servicer shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Special Servicer.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner that are Privileged Persons may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner that are Privileged Persons may register to receive email 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.

(b)       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 Accepted Servicing Practices, and (ii) the replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender), then the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written

 -173-

report in the form of Exhibit U 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 recommendation (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 of the recommendation and post such notice and report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of Holders of Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders (which, for this purpose, is the Holders of Certificates that (A) evidence at least 20% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances) of all Sequential Pay Certificates on an aggregate basis, and (B) consist of at least three Certificateholders or Certificate Owners that are not Risk Retention Affiliates) and (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency with respect to the termination of the Special Servicer and the appointment of a successor special servicer recommended by the Operating Advisor by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee shall (1) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint such successor Special Servicer and (2) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (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 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. In the event the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.4(b), the Controlling Class Representative may not subsequently reappoint such terminated Special Servicer or any Risk Retention Affiliate thereof.

(c)          The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, that none of the Trustee, the Servicer (solely in its capacity as Servicer), or the initial Special Servicer specified in Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement shall 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 or Certificateholders so terminating the Special Servicer and shall not in any event be an expense of the Trust Fund.

 -174-

(d)         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 and (ii) subject to Section 10.17 of this Agreement, the Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such termination and appointment of a successor.

(e)          Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.5 of this Agreement mutatis mutandis as of the date of its succession.

(f)          In the event that the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.4, 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 Whole Loan 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 prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.3 of this Agreement and the right to receive ongoing Workout Fees or Liquidation Fee in accordance with the terms hereof and any indemnification that the Special Servicer is entitled to pursuant to the terms hereof).

Section 6.5.    The Controlling Class Representative.

(a)       For so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to (1) if a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs, advise the Special Servicer as to all matters involving a Major Decision and (2) if a Special Servicing Loan Event has not occurred, advise the Special Servicer as to all matters for which the Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer for a Major Decision. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to Section 6.5(b) and the second and third paragraphs of this Section 6.5(a), both (a) the Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer, who shall have 10 Business Days (or 60 days with respect to the determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, unless earlier objected to by the Controlling Class Representative) after the Special Servicer’s receipt of the Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis to analyze and make a recommendation regarding such Major Decision (provided that if the Special Servicer does not consent, or notify the Servicer that it will not consent, to such Major Decision within the required 10 Business Days or 60 days, unless earlier objected to by the Controlling Class Representative, as applicable, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have consented to such Major Decision) and (b) for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Servicer’s taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision if, in either case, the Controlling Class Representative has objected

 -175-

to the action in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written report (which at the option of the Special Servicer may be in the form of an Asset Status Report) by the Special Servicer describing in reasonable detail (i) the background and circumstances requiring action of the Special Servicer, and (ii) the proposed course of action recommended (the “Major Decision Reporting Package”), which the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Controlling Class Representative within five Business Days of the Special Servicer’s receipt of the recommendation and analysis from the Servicer; provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Controlling Class Representative will be deemed to have approved such action; provided further, that, in the event that the Special Servicer or Servicer (in the event the Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Class Representative prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in this Agreement, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders, the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Class Representative ‘s (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer’s) response. The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative for any Major Decision following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event.

In addition, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Whole Loan as the Controlling Class Representative may reasonably deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction, and no objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Co-Lender Agreement, applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation each of the Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, or expose the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer or the Special Servicer is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

With respect to any action requiring the consent of the Controlling Class Representative under this Agreement, such consent shall be deemed given if the Controlling Class Representative does not object within 10 Business Days. In the event the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Controlling Class Representative or any advice from the Controlling Class Representative would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse REMIC Event or this Agreement, including without limitation, Accepted Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee and, subject to Section 10.17 of this Agreement, the Rating Agency of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Controlling Class Representative that does

 -176-

not violate any law or Accepted Servicing Practices or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Servicer or the Special Servicer.

The Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or any Companion Loan Holder for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative will not be protected against any liability to any Controlling Class Certificateholders that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its obligations or its duties, in each case under this Agreement.

By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Controlling Class Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates, including holding the Mezzanine Loan or an interest in the Mezzanine Loan; (ii) the Controlling Class Representative may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Controlling Class Representative does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class; (iv) the Controlling Class Representative may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) of this paragraph, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Class Representative or any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, shareholder, member, partner, 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 any 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, and the Special Servicer shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative 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, 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 Controlling Class Representative.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but, with respect to the Controlling Class Representative only, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative in connection with any Major Decision or Asset Status Report (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Controlling Class Representative prior to a Consultation Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by Controlling Class Representative in respect thereof. Such consultation will not be binding on the

 -177-

Special Servicer. In the event the Special Servicer receives no response from the Controlling Class Representative 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 Controlling Class Representative on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Controlling Class Representative to respond shall not relieve the Special Servicer from consulting with the Controlling Class Representative on any future matters with respect to the Whole Loan.

The Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor simultaneously upon providing such Major Decision Reporting Package to the Controlling Class Representative. With respect to any particular Major Decision and related Major Decision Reporting Package and any Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall make available (via telephone or electronic mail) to the Operating Advisor a servicing officer with relevant knowledge regarding the Whole Loan and such Major Decision, Major Decision Reporting Package 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, Major Decision Reporting Package and/or Asset Status Report and potential conflicts of interest and compensation. The Special Servicer shall send notice to the Operating Advisor notifying it of the Controlling Class Representative’s denial, approval or deemed approval of such Major Decision Reporting Package within 10 days of such denial, approval, or deemed approval.

In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Operating Advisor (remotely via electronic, telephonic or other mutually agreeable communication) in connection with any proposed Major Decision for which the Special Servicer has delivered to the Operating Advisor a Major Decision Reporting Package 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 days following the later of (i) its written request for input on any required consultation (which such initial request shall include a Major Decision Reporting Package) and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Special Servicer 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 Whole Loan.

In connection with the Controlling Class Representative’s right to consent or consult or the Operating Advisor’s right to 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

 -178-

reasonable effort to contact the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative, as applicable.

Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to instructions from the Controlling Class Representative, or due to any failure to approve an action by any such party, or due to an objective by any such party that would cause either the Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate applicable law, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement (including Accepted Servicing Practices).

On the Closing Date, the initial Controlling Class Representative shall execute a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Controlling Class Representative, any successor Controlling Class Representative shall execute and deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Controlling Class Representative.

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.

(c)          Each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of a Class HRR 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 Registrar and to notify the Certificate Registrar of the transfer of any Class HRR Certificate (or the beneficial ownership of any Class HRR Certificate), the selection of a Controlling Class Representative or the resignation or removal thereof. Any such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or its designee at any time appointed Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Class HRR Certificate (or the beneficial ownership interest in a Class HRR Certificate) to notify the Certificate Registrar when such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or designee is appointed Controlling Class Representative and when it is removed or resigns. Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Special Servicer, the Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee of the identity of the Controlling Class Representative, any resignation or removal thereof and/or any new Holder or Beneficial Owner of a Class HRR Certificate. In addition, upon the request of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee, as applicable, the Certificate Registrar shall provide (on a reasonably prompt basis) the identity of the then-current Controlling Class and a list of the Certificateholders (or Beneficial Owners, if applicable, at the expense of the Trust if such expense arises in connection with an event as to which the Controlling Class Representative or the Controlling Class has consent or consultation rights pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise at the expense of the requesting party and each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such information so provided by the Certificate Administrator. The initial Controlling Class Representative, and any subsequent Controlling Class Representative, is hereby deemed to have agreed and acknowledged by virtue of its purchase of a Class HRR Certificate (or beneficial ownership interest in such Certificate) that its identity shall

 -179-

be reported monthly by the Certificate Administrator in the Distribution Date Statement. In the event that no Controlling Class Representative has been appointed or identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator and no such entity has been identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Controlling Class Representative is identified, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Controlling Class Representative as the case may be.

The Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer shall not be charged with knowledge of any Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, in each case, resulting from an affiliation of the Controlling Class Representative or a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders (by Certificate Balance) with a Borrower Related Party, unless and until it shall have received notice of such occurrence from the Controlling Class Representative or a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders (by Certificate Balance) substantially in the form of Exhibit P upon which each party may conclusively rely.

If at any time that KKR Real Estate Stabilized Credit Partners L.P. or any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) is no longer the Holder (or Beneficial Owner) of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Balance and the Certificate Registrar has neither (i) received written notice of the then current Controlling Class Certificateholders of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Balance nor (ii) received written 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 either such notice.

Upon receipt of notice of a change in Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly forward notice thereof to each other party to this Agreement.

(d)      Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the 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.

Section 6.6.    Servicer and Special Servicer Not to Resign. (a) Each of the Servicer and Special Servicer may resign and assign its respective rights and delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement to any Person or to an entity, provided that:

(i)        the Person accepting such assignment and delegation (A) shall be an established mortgage finance institution, bank or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000, organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to perform the duties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, (B) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement in form and substance

 -180-

reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement; provided, however that to the extent such agreement modifies in any respect any of the covenants, terms or conditions in this Agreement to be performed by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, such agreement shall be subject to the approval of the Trustee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and (C) shall make such representations and warranties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as provided in Section 2.4 and Section 2.5;

(ii)       Rating Agency Confirmation has been received;

(iii)      the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation under this Section 6.6(a);

(iv)      the rate at which the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Fee, as applicable (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect; and

(v)       the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust, and the Rating Agency for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such assignment, sale or transfer, except to the extent the Third Party Purchaser is required to pay such expenses pursuant to Section 2.12.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor.

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative will be entitled to appoint (and replace with or without cause) a successor special servicer that is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and not a Borrower Related Party in accordance with the terms herein, unless the Controlling Class Representative is a Borrower Related Party. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event or if the Controlling Class Representative is a Borrower Related Party, the resigning Special Servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor special servicer that is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and not a Borrower Related Party in accordance with the terms herein and shall, at the expense of the Trust, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor special servicer if one is not appointed within 60 days.

(d)      Except as provided in Section 2.12 and Section 6.4(c) to the contrary, the resigning Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each other party to this Agreement, the Trust Fund and the Rating Agency in connection with any resignation of such Servicer or Special Servicer.

 -185-

On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, subject to the foregoing, 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 Trust Loan or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Terminating Party pursuant to and under this Section 7.1 and, without limitation, the Terminating Party 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 Trust Loan and related documents, or otherwise.

All reasonable costs and expenses of the Terminating Party or the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage File to the Terminating Party or to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Terminated Party upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the Terminated Party has not reimbursed the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(c); provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Special Servicer is terminated without cause pursuant to Section 6.4, all costs and expenses incurred or payable by the terminated Special Servicer under this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Controlling Class Representative or Certificateholders who directed the Special Servicer to be terminated without cause.

 -186-

(e)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Trustee of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event of which the Depositor becomes aware. In no event shall the Trustee be deemed to have knowledge of or be aware of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.

(f)       No termination or resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement, including under Section 6.4, Section 6.6 or Section 7.1, shall terminate such Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding compensation or other amounts due such Servicer or Special Servicer and any other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination.

Section 7.2.    Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) On and after the time the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.1, or resigns pursuant to Section 6.4(b), the Terminating Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.2, the Trustee (or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer including a successor appointed under Section 6.4(a)) in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) shall, unless prohibited by law, be the successor to the Terminated Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.2, the resigning party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer of the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) in all respects 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 Terminated Party by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that (i) neither the Trustee nor the Terminating Party (or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) shall have responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Terminated Party 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 monies or failure to cooperate as required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Terminating Party or such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Servicer, and any other successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided to the Trustee under this Agreement. The appointment of a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not affect any liability of the Terminated Party that may have arisen prior to its termination as such. The Terminating Party shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Terminated Party herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the Terminated Party or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Terminated Party nor shall the Terminating Party or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer be required to purchase the Whole Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Terminating Party as successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to all compensation with respect to the Whole Loan to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled that accrues after the date of the Terminating Party’s succession to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder and, in the case of a successor Special Servicer, the Special Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, 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 having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates so request in writing to the Trustee, or the Trustee is not

 -187-

approved by the Rating Agency as a Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation, or if the Rating Agency does not provide written confirmation that the succession of the Trustee as Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, will not cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Certificates, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established loan servicing institution reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee the appointment for which a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, as the successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder; provided that for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred or is continuing the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to approve any such successor Special Servicer. No appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Terminated Party’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in the applicable capacity as herein above provided. 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 the Whole Loan as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Terminated Party hereunder, except 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 to the Terminated Party shall be paid pursuant to Section 3.4(c);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 (on a non-binding basis) 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 Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer (as applicable), the Special Servicer (as applicable) and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b)       Notwithstanding Section 7.1(c), Section 7.1(d) or Section 7.2(a), if a Servicer receives a notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.1(a)(vii) and the terminated Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days after such termination, then such Servicer shall continue to serve as Servicer, and the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the terminated Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to master service the Whole Loan from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as successor Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.2 for which the Trustee has received Rating Agency Confirmation (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many Persons as are Qualified Bidders; provided, however, that (i) the terminated Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons who are Qualified Bidders (subject to receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation) from whom to solicit such bids; and (ii) the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to master service the Whole Loan under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Servicer with respect to the Whole Loan, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within forty-five (45) days after the receipt by the terminated Servicer of a notice of termination. The Trustee shall solicit bids (i) on

 -188-

the basis of such successor Servicer entering into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer to service the Whole Loan at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to 0.00625% (each, a “Servicing-Retained Bid”) and (ii) on the basis of having no obligation to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer (each, a “Servicing-Released Bid”). The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing-Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing Released Bid) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall request the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof (and, if the successful bid was a Servicing-Retained Bid, to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer as contemplated above), no later than forty-five (45) days after the termination of the terminated Servicer. Upon the assignment and acceptance of the servicing rights hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of reasonable “out of pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).

(c)       If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.2 as successor to the resigning or terminated Servicer, it may reduce such terminated Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that its or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Servicer would otherwise be below market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.2, it may reduce such Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.2 and Section 6.6.

Section 7.3.    Notification to Certificateholders, the Depositor and the Rating Agency.

(a)       Upon any termination of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 7.1 or appointment of a successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as practicable, give written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Depositor and, subject to Section 10.17, the Rating Agency.

(b)       Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer 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 to the Depositor and, subject to Section 10.17, the Rating Agency notice of such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, unless such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event or shall have been cured or waived.

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 Trust, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from the Collection Account. 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 or Special Servicer Termination Event.

Section 7.5.    Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Special Servicer Termination Events. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates and the affected Companion Loan Holder may, on behalf of all Certificateholders and upon adequate indemnification of the Trustee by the requesting Holders of Certificates, waive any default by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits (including Monthly Payment Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or the Foreclosed Property 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 the related Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right related thereto.

Section 7.6.    Trustee as Maker of Advances.  In the event that the Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (w) within five Business Days (or such shorter period (but not less than one Business Day) as may be required, if applicable, to avoid any lapse in insurance coverage required under the Mortgage Loan Documents or this Agreement with respect to the Property or to avoid any foreclosure or similar action with respect to the Property by reason of failure to pay real estate taxes, assessments, ground rents or governmental charges) of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtaining knowledge of such failure by the Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to Property Protection Advances and Administrative Advances and (x) by 12:00 noon New York time on the related Distribution Date with respect to Monthly Payment Advances. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Servicer’s and/or the Special Servicer’s rights, as applicable, with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Advance Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Servicer’s and/or the Special Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder and further subject to the Trustee’s standard of good faith judgment); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee, the Servicer and/or the Special 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 Servicer

 -190-

and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Advances and interest accrued thereon. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given by the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

 -203-

subject to all the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, as the case may be. Any separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee may, at any time by an instrument in writing, constitute the Trustee, its attorney-in-fact and agent with full power and authority to do all acts and things and to exercise all discretion on its behalf and in its, her or his name. In the event that any such separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Property and all assets, property, rights, powers, duties and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee shall, so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee unless and until a successor is appointed.

(c)       All provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall extend to and apply to each separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.10, and to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator in each capacity that it may assume hereunder, including without limitation, its capacity as Custodian, 17g-5 Information Provider, Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent, as applicable.

If, at any time, the Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or prudent in order to conform to any such law, the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any co-trustee or separate trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee by the Trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligations, duties, or responsibilities in any way or to any degree.

(e)       Any request, approval or consent in writing by the Trustee to any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be sufficient warrant to such co-trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, to take such action as may be so required, approved or consented to.

(f)       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.10, the powers of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall not exceed those of the Trustee hereunder, and such co-trustee or separate trustee must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.6.

Wherever a reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication and delivery of Certificates by the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Administrator’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by an Authenticating Agent.

If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If, at any time, an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. The initial Authenticating Agent shall be the Certificate Administrator.

(b)       Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.

(c)       An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice thereof to the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Depositor. The Certificate Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Depositor. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Certificate Administrator may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first class mail, postage prepaid to all Certificateholders as their names and addresses appear in the Certificate Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

In the event of any inconsistencies in payments or prepayments made by the Mortgage Loan Borrower with the previously delivered notices by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, all costs and expenses incurred as a result of a failure by the Mortgage Loan Borrower to make any such payments or prepayment, shall be paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement provided that the amount of payment reported to the Depository by the Certificate Administrator was consistent with the information received from the Servicer or Special Servicer. If the Mortgage Loan Borrower fails to do so, such costs and expenses shall be reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator and to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

herein or in the Mortgage Loan Documents (but subject to Section 1.3), all amounts collected on the Trust Loan shall, for federal income tax purposes, be allocated first to interest due and payable on the Trust Loan (including interest on overdue interest) other than Default Interest. The books and records must be sufficient concerning the nature and amount of the investments of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to show that such Trust REMIC has complied with the REMIC Provisions.

(m)      None of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

(n)       In order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Certificate Administrator within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Certificate Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes on the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the yield, issue prices, pricing prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates, as applicable, and the projected cash flows on the Trust Loan. Thereafter, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator, promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Certificate Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to use any and all such information or data provided by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer in the preparation of all federal, state or local income, franchise or other tax and information returns and reports for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to Certificateholders as required herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Certificate Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Certificate Administrator arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 12.1 that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Certificate Administrator (but not resulting from the methodology employed by the Certificate Administrator) on a timely basis and such indemnifications shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Certificate Administrator.

The Certificate Administrator agrees that all such information or data so obtained by it shall be regarded as confidential information and agrees that it shall use its best reasonable efforts to retain in confidence, and shall ensure that its officers, employees and representatives retain in confidence, and shall not disclose, without the prior written consent of the Depositor, any or all of such information or data, or make any use whatsoever (other than for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement) of any such information or data without the prior written consent of the Depositor, unless such information is generally available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section) or is required by law or applicable regulations to be disclosed.

(o)       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 Code Section 6221 (or successor provisions) to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment

 -245-

by either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC under Code Section 6225 (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. A Holder of any Class R Certificate agrees, by acquiring such Certificate, to any such elections.

Section 12.2. Foreclosed Property.     (a) The parties hereto acknowledge and understand that if the Trust Fund were to acquire the Property as Foreclosed Property and were to own and operate that Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Property is currently owned and operated by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, through a Successor Manager, some portion or all of the income derived in the Lower-Tier REMIC from such Foreclosed Property may be considered “net income from foreclosure property” for purposes of Section 860G(c) of the Code and subject to tax at normal corporate income tax rates.

In determining whether to acquire and hold the Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust hereunder, shall take these circumstances into account and shall only acquire such Foreclosed Property if it determines, in its reasonable judgment (after, consultation with counsel, at the expense of the Trust Fund), that either (i) there is a commercially feasible alternative method of administering such Foreclosed Property that would not result in such tax, e.g., a net lease that results in Rents from Real Property or (ii) the likely recovery with respect to operating the Foreclosed Property on behalf of the Trust Fund, after taking into account any such taxes that might be imposed on either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, will exceed the likely recovery to the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders if the Trust Fund were to net lease the Foreclosed Property or were not to acquire and hold the Foreclosed Property. If the Trust Fund acquires the Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust, if the Manager would not be considered an Independent Contractor, shall either renegotiate the applicable Management Agreement or replace the Manager with a Successor Manager (as appropriate and to the extent permitted under such Management Agreement) so that the Foreclosed Property would be considered to be operated by an Independent Contractor. If, after making the foregoing reasonable efforts, the Special Servicer determines that it is in the best interests of Certificateholders, the Companion Loan Holders on a net after-tax basis to operate the Foreclosed Property in a manner such that the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC shall receive, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, “net income from foreclosure property” under the REMIC Provisions, the Special Servicer shall maintain or cause to be maintained such records of income and expense as to enable such amounts to be computed accurately, and shall pay or retain or cause to be paid or retained from Foreclosure Proceeds such amounts as are necessary to pay such tax or, to the extent such amounts are insufficient, from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not, to the extent within its power:

(i)        permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to the Foreclosed 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;

 -246-

(iii)      authorize or permit any construction on the Foreclosed 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 improvements was completed before default on the Trust Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

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

(b)       The Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall make reasonable efforts to sell the Foreclosed Property for its fair market value in accordance with Section 3.15. In any event, however, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall dispose of the Foreclosed Property as soon as is practicable but in no event later than the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Acquisition Date occurs unless the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, has received (or has not been denied) an extension of time (an “Extension”) by the IRS to sell such Foreclosed Property or an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust of the Foreclosed Property for an additional specified period will neither result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the Code, nor cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a “grantor trust” at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional specified period, with the expenses of obtaining any such extension of time being an expense of the Trust Fund. If the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, has received (or has not been denied) such Extension, then the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust hereunder, shall continue to attempt to sell the Foreclosed Property for its fair market value for such longer period as such Extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust, has not received such an Extension and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust hereunder, is unable to sell the Foreclosed Property, within the foregoing period or if the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust hereunder, has received such an Extension, and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust hereunder, is unable to sell the Foreclosed Property within the Extended Period, the Special Servicer shall, before the end of the above-referenced period or the Extended Period, as the case may be, auction the Foreclosed Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Special Servicer) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(c)       Within thirty (30) days of the sale of a Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer shall provide to each of the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a statement of accounting for the Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date the related Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the date of disposition of such Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Certificate Administrator and/or Trustee may reasonably request.

Section 12.3. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.  The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall not permit the sale or disposition of the Trust Loan at a time when the Trust Loan is not the subject of a breach of a representation or is not in default or default with

 -247-

respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable (except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Lower-Tier REMIC or (ii) the termination of the Lower-Tier REMIC in a “qualified liquidation” as defined in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code), nor acquire any assets for either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than Foreclosed Property), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or Distribution Account for gain, nor receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for services, nor accept any contributions to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than a cash contribution during the three-month period beginning on the Startup Day), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person requesting it to take such action) to the effect that such disposition, acquisition, substitution or acceptance will not (a) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, or adversely affect the status of the Regular Certificates as representing regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), or (d) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “prohibited contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

Section 12.4. Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.

(a)       If either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or a tax as a result of a prohibited transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties and obligations specifically set forth herein, or by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s negligent disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall indemnify the Trust against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting therefrom; provided, however, the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, or the Depositor, on which the Certificate Administrator has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of successor Holders of the Class R Certificates at law or in equity.

If either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or a tax as a result of a prohibited transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent performance of the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its duties and obligations set forth herein, or by reason of the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s negligent disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Trust Fund against any and all losses resulting therefrom; provided, however, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any such losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for any such losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor or the Holders of the

 -248-

Class R Certificates on which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of any successor Holders of the Class R Certificates at law or in equity.

Exhibit A-1-4

Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. Also issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are the Class B, Class C, Class D, Class HRR, Class ELP and Class R Certificates (collectively with the Class A Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2021 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer, U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as custodian and as certificate administrator, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents (i) a beneficial interest in 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 (ii) a beneficial interest in the excess interest and proceeds thereof in the excess interest distribution account. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in August 2021 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, 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, any Yield Maintenance Premiums then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution 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 therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Exhibit A-1-5

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust 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. In the case of any conflict between the terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, 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.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class adversely affected by such amendment evidencing, in each case, not less than 51% 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Certificates, except that the amendment may not (1) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Trust Loan that are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate; (2) alter in any manner the liens on any Collateral securing payments of the Whole Loan; (3) alter the obligations of the Servicer or the Trustee to make an Advance or alter the Accepted Servicing Practices; (4) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Certificateholders that are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement; (5) adversely affect the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of 100% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders; (6) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent; or (7) amend the Section 10.1 of the Trust

Exhibit A-1-6

and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made that (i) would cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes (as may be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel), (ii) would cause any REMIC related to any Companion Loan Securities to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (iii) changes in any manner the obligations of the Sponsors under the Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the Sponsors, and the Trustee, Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator or Custodian may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement that it determines affects its rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Trustee, Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator or Custodian under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, or at the Trust Fund’s expense if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is the requesting party) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or cause any REMIC related to any Companion Loan Securities to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian, the Depositor and the Trustee created thereby with respect to the Certificates (other than (i) any obligations of the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date, to maintain books and records of the Trust Fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and records, and (iii) the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii)  the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement or the Trust and Servicing Agreement, as applicable) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of execution of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been executed by the Certificate Administrator or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Trust and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

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 Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Also issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are the Class A, Class C, Class D, Class HRR, Class ELP and Class R Certificates (collectively with the Class B Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2021 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer, U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as custodian and as certificate administrator, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents (i) a beneficial interest in 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 (ii) a beneficial interest in the excess interest and proceeds thereof in the excess interest distribution account. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in May 2021 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, 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, any Yield Maintenance Premiums then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution 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 therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Exhibit A-2-5

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust 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. In the case of any conflict between the terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, 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.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class adversely affected by such amendment evidencing, in each case, not less than 51% 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Certificates, except that the amendment may not (1) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Trust Loan that are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate; (2) alter in any manner the liens on any Collateral securing payments of the Whole Loan; (3) alter the obligations of the Servicer or the Trustee to make an Advance or alter the Accepted Servicing Practices; (4) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Certificateholders that are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement; (5) adversely affect the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of 100% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders; (6) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent; or (7) amend the Section 10.1 of the Trust

Exhibit A-2-6

and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made that (i) would cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes (as may be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel), (ii) would cause any REMIC related to any Companion Loan Securities to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (iii) changes in any manner the obligations of the Sponsors under the Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the Sponsors, and the Trustee, Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator or Custodian may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement that it determines affects its rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Trustee, Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator or Custodian under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, or at the Trust Fund’s expense if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is the requesting party) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or cause any REMIC related to any Companion Loan Securities to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian, the Depositor and the Trustee created thereby with respect to the Certificates (other than (i) any obligations of the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date, to maintain books and records of the Trust Fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and records, and (iii) the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii)  the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement or the Trust and Servicing Agreement, as applicable) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of execution of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been executed by the Certificate Administrator or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Trust and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

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 Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust 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. In the case of any conflict between the terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, 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.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class adversely affected by such amendment evidencing, in each case, not less than 51% 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Certificates, except that the amendment may not (1) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Trust Loan that are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate; (2) alter in any manner the liens on any Collateral securing payments of the Whole Loan; (3) alter the obligations of the Servicer or the Trustee to make an Advance or alter the Accepted Servicing Practices; (4) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Certificateholders that are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement; (5) adversely affect the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of 100% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders; (6) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent; or (7) amend the Section 10.1 of the Trust

and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made that (i) would cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes (as may be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel), (ii) would cause any REMIC related to any Companion Loan Securities to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (iii) changes in any manner the obligations of the Sponsors under the Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the Sponsors, and the Trustee, Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator or Custodian may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement that it determines affects its rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Trustee, Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator or Custodian under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, or at the Trust Fund’s expense if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is the requesting party) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or cause any REMIC related to any Companion Loan Securities to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian, the Depositor and the Trustee created thereby with respect to the Certificates (other than (i) any obligations of the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date, to maintain books and records of the Trust Fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and records, and (iii) the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii) the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement or the Trust and Servicing Agreement, as applicable) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of execution of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been executed by the Certificate Administrator or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Trust and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Exhibit A-5-3

Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2021 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer, U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as custodian and as certificate administrator, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents (i) a beneficial interest in 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, (ii) a beneficial interest in the excess interest and proceeds thereof in the excess interest distribution account and (iii) a beneficial interest in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option. 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in May 2021 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, 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, any Yield Maintenance Premiums then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class HRR Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution 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 therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,

Exhibit A-5-4

obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator. In the case of any conflict between the terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, 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.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class adversely affected by such amendment evidencing, in each case, not less than 51% 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Certificates, except that the amendment may not (1) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Trust Loan that are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate; (2) alter in any manner the liens on any Collateral securing payments of the Whole Loan; (3) alter the obligations of the Servicer or the Trustee to make an Advance or alter the Accepted Servicing Practices; (4) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Certificateholders that are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement; (5) adversely affect the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of 100% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders; (6) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent; or (7) amend the Section 10.1 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made that (i) would cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes (as may be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel), (ii) would cause any REMIC related to any Companion Loan Securities to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (iii) changes in any manner the obligations of the Sponsors under the Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the Sponsors, and the

Exhibit A-5-5

Trustee, Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator or Custodian may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement that it determines affects its rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Trustee, Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator or Custodian under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, or at the Trust Fund’s expense if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is the requesting party) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or cause any REMIC related to any Companion Loan Securities to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian, the Depositor and the Trustee created thereby with respect to the Certificates (other than (i) any obligations of the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date, to maintain books and records of the Trust Fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and records, and (iii) the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii)  the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement or the Trust and Servicing Agreement, as applicable) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of execution of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been executed by the Certificate Administrator or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Trust and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

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 Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Exhibit A-7-3

Bank National Association, as trustee, as custodian and as certificate administrator, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust 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 shall be the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code) of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC. By acceptance of the Class R Certificates, the Class R Certificateholders agree, on behalf of themselves and all successor holders of such Class R Certificates, to such designation.

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 Trust Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in May 2021 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, 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, any Yield Maintenance Premiums then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class R Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution 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 therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust 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. In the case of any conflict between the terms specified

Exhibit A-7-4

in this Certificate and terms specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, 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.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class adversely affected by such amendment evidencing, in each case, not less than 51% 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Certificates, except that the amendment may not (1) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Trust Loan that are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate; (2) alter in any manner the liens on any Collateral securing payments of the Whole Loan; (3) alter the obligations of the Servicer or the Trustee to make an Advance or alter the Accepted Servicing Practices; (4) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Certificateholders that are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement; (5) adversely affect the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of 100% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders; (6) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent; or (7) amend the Section 10.1 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made that (i) would cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes (as may be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel), (ii) would cause any REMIC related to any Companion Loan Securities to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (iii) changes in any manner the obligations of the Sponsors under the Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the Sponsors, and the Trustee, Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator or Custodian may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement

Exhibit A-7-5

that it determines affects its rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Trustee, Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator or Custodian under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, or at the Trust Fund’s expense if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is the requesting party) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or cause any REMIC related to any Companion Loan Securities to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian, the Depositor and the Trustee created thereby with respect to the Certificates (other than (i) any obligations of the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date, to maintain books and records of the Trust Fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and records, and (iii) the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii)  the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement or the Trust and Servicing Agreement, as applicable) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of execution of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been executed by the Certificate Administrator or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Trust and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

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 Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2021 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, U.S. Bank National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Custodian and Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, on behalf of the holders of the SOHO Trust 2021-SOHO, Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2021-SOHO (the “Certificates”) in connection with the transfer by [             ] (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of [$_____ aggregate [Certificate Balance][_____% Percentage Interest] of Class [_____] Certificates, in certificated fully registered form (such registered interest, the “Certificate”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

In connection with such transfer, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants to you as follows:

[For Institutional Accredited Investors only]                1.                The Purchaser is an institutional “accredited investor” (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”, i.e., an entity meeting the requirements of Rule 501 (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D 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 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 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. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

Exhibit J-1-1

[For Qualified Institutional Buyers only]                1.                The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 to (i) “qualified institutional buyers” in transactions under Rule 144A, or (ii) Institutional Accredited Investors 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 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 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 resold unless it is 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 July 16, 2021, relating to the 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 Trust 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 Certificate, except in compliance with Section 5.3 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Exhibit J-1-2

7.           Check one of the following: ^**

☐           The Purchaser is a “U.S. Person” and it has attached hereto an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or successor form).

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.

STATE OF	)
	)          ss.:
COUNTY OF	)

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Trust 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 “Trust REMIC”) designated as the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and “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

Exhibit J-2-1

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 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 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 or successor provisions thereto.

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. Person, (d) any partnership if any of its interests are (or under the partnership agreement are permitted to be) owned, directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation), by a Disqualified Non-U.S. Person or (e) a U.S. Person with respect to which income from the 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. 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. 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:

Exhibit J-2-2

(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 Trust 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 Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and

(iv)         the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.

☐           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.

Exhibit J-2-3

10.         The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.

11.         The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer to any Person that does not provide an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement or as to which the Purchaser has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

12.         The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.

13.         The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.

14.         The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Trust 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 “partnership representative” of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

(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 J-3-1

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,

Transaction: SOHO Trust 2021-SOHO, Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2021-SOHO
Operating Advisor: Pentalpha Surveillance LLC
Special Servicer: Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association

I.       Executive Summary

Based on the requirements and qualifications set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, as well as the items listed below, the Operating Advisor (in accordance with the Operating Advisor’s analysis requirements outlined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement) has undertaken a limited review of the Special Servicer’s actions under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Based solely on such limited review of the items listed below, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer [is/is not] operating in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices with respect to its performance of its duties under the Trust and Servicing Agreement during the prior calendar year. [The Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer has failed to comply with Accepted Servicing Practices, as a result of the following material deviations.]

● [LIST OF ANY MATERIAL DEVIATION ITEMS]

In addition, the Operating Advisor notes the following: [PROVIDE SUMMARY OF ANY ADDITIONAL MATERIAL INFORMATION].

[ADD RECOMMENDATION OF REPLACEMENT OF SPECIAL SERVICER, IF APPLICABLE]

¹ This report is an indicative report and does not reflect the final form of annual report to be used in any particular year. The Operating Advisor will have the ability to modify or alter the organization and content of any particular report, subject to the compliance with the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, provisions relating to Privileged Information.

 Exhibit T-1

II.       List of Items that Were Considered in Compiling this Report

In rendering our assessment herein, we examined and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the items listed below:

1. Any Major Decision Reporting Package that is delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

2. Reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the certificate administrator’s website and each Asset Status Report (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and Final Asset Status Report, in each case, delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

3. The Special Servicer’s assessment of compliance report, attestation report by a third party regarding the Special Servicer’s compliance with its obligations and non-discretionary portions of net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

4. [LIST OTHER REVIEWED INFORMATION]

5. [INSERT IF AFTER AN OPERATING ADVISOR CONSULTATION EVENT]: Consulted with the Special Servicer as provided under the Trust and Servicing Agreement in respect of the Asset Status Reports for a Specially Serviced Loan delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement and with respect to Major Decisions processed by the Special Servicer.

NOTE: The Operating Advisor’s review of the above materials should be considered a limited review and not be considered a full or limited audit, legal review or legal conclusion. For instance, we did not review each page of the Special Servicer’s policy and procedure manuals (including amendments and appendices), review underlying lease agreements or similar underlying documents, re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculation, visit any related property, visit the Special Servicer, visit the Controlling Class Representative or interact with any borrower. In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount 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.

III. Assumptions, Qualifications and Disclaimers Related to the Work Product Undertaken and Opinions Related to this Report

1. As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Operating Advisor is not required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, Accepted Servicing Practices or the Special Servicer’s obligations under the Trust and Servicing Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial.

 Exhibit T-2

2. In rendering our assessment herein, we have assumed that all executed factual statements, instruments, and other documents that we have relied upon in rendering this assessment have been executed by persons with legal capacity to execute such documents.

3. Other than the receipt of the Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report that is delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Operating Advisor did not participate in, or have access to, the Special Servicer’s and Controlling Class Representative’s discussion(s) regarding any Specially Serviced Loan. The Operating Advisor does not have authority to speak with the Controlling Class Representative or borrower 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.

4. The Special Servicer has the legal authority and responsibility to service the any specially serviced loan pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Operating Advisor has no responsibility or authority to alter the standards set forth therein or the actions of the Special Servicer.

5. Confidentiality and other contractual limitations limit the Operating Advisor’s ability to outline the details or substance of any communication held between it and the Special Servicer regarding any specially serviced loan and certain information it reviewed in connection with its duties under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. As a result, this report may not reflect all the relevant information that the Operating Advisor is given access to by the Special Servicer.

6. The Operating Advisor is not empowered to speak with any investors directly. If the investors have questions regarding this report, they should address such questions to the certificate administrator through the certificate administrator’s website.

7. This report does not constitute recommendations to buy, sell or hold any security, nor does the Operating Advisor take into account market prices of securities or financial markets generally when performing its limited review of the Special Servicer as described above.

Terms used but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

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, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar is obligated so to register or qualify the Excess Servicing Fee Right, and

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 3.17 of the Trust 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created pursuant thereto, (d) the nature, performance and servicing of the Whole Loan, and (e) all related matters that it has requested.

 Exhibit X-2-2

option contemplated by this Section 11(a), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer or Trustee on its behalf) shall deliver all original Mortgage Loan Documents and other applicable materials in its possession to the applicable Note B Holder or its designee. The foregoing rights of the Note B Holders shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have to purchase each A Note pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either of the Mortgage Loan Borrowers or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party is a Note B Holder (or holds a majority interest in a B Note), such Note B Holder shall not have the right to exercise the purchase option set forth in this Section 11(a).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, during the period in which any portion of the Mortgage Loan is subject to purchase by Note B Holder pursuant to this Section, the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be serviced by the applicable Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(b)          Cure Rights. In the event any monetary default beyond applicable notice and grace periods or non-monetary default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall exist with respect to the Mortgage Loan, then, upon notice from the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) (a “Cure Option Notice”) of the occurrence of such default beyond applicable notice and grace periods (which notice the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall promptly give to the Note B Holder upon receipt of knowledge thereof), each Note B Holder shall have the right, exercisable by each Note B Holder giving written notice of its intent to cure a default within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Cure Option Notice, to cure such default (and if each of the Note B-1 Holder, the Note B-2 Holder, the Note B-3 Holder or the Note B-4 Holder, or any combination thereof, provide such notice, then such Note B Holders collectively, on a pro rata basis shall have the right to cure such default); provided, in the event a Note B Holder has elected to cure any default, the default must be cured by such Note B Holder within, in the case of a monetary default, ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such Cure Option Notice and, in the case of a non-monetary default, thirty (30) days after receipt of such Cure Option Notice. If a Note B Holder is attempting to cure a non-monetary default, the foregoing cure period of thirty (30) days may be extended for an additional sixty (60) days (for a total of up to ninety (90) days), but only for so long as (i) such Note B Holder is diligently and expeditiously proceeding to cure such non-monetary default, (ii) such Note B Holder makes all Cure Payments that it is permitted to make in accordance with this Section, (iii) such non-monetary default is not the result of a bankruptcy of the Mortgage Loan Borrowers or other insolvency related event, and no bankruptcy commences or other insolvency related event occurs during the period that such Note B Holder is otherwise permitted to cure a non-monetary default in accordance with this Section and (iv) there is no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan Borrowers, the Mortgaged Properties or the value of the Mortgage Loan as a result of such non-monetary default or the attempted cure thereof.

If a Note B Holder elects to cure a default that can be cured by the payment of money (each such payment, a “Cure Payment”), such Note B Holder shall make such Cure Payment as directed by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) and each such Cure Payment shall include all costs, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, and disbursements imposed on, incurred by or asserted against each Note A Holder (including,

46

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

without limitation, all unreimbursed Advances (without regard to whether such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance) and any interest charged thereon at the Advance Rate, and any unpaid Special Servicing Fees with respect to the Mortgage Loan, but excluding any default interest and Penalty Charges) related to the default and incurred during the period of time from the expiration of the grace period for such default under the Mortgage Loan until such Cure Payment is made or such other cure is otherwise effected.

The right of a Note B Holder to reimbursement of any Cure Payment shall be as set forth in Section 5 and Section 6, as applicable. So long as a default exists that is being cured by a Note B Holder pursuant to this Section 11(b) and the cure period has not expired and such Note B Holder is permitted to cure under the terms of this Section 11(b), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) and the Trustee shall not treat such default as a default or a Triggering Event of Default (i) for purposes of Section 5 or Section 6; (ii) for purposes of accelerating the Mortgage Loan, modifying, amending or waiving any provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents or commencing proceedings for foreclosure or the taking of title by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other similar legal proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Properties; or (iii) for purposes of treating the Mortgage Loan as a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided that such limitations shall not prevent the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) or the Trustee from sending notices of the default to the Mortgage Loan Borrowers or any related guarantor or making demands on the Mortgage Loan Borrowers or any related guarantor or from collecting default interest or late payment charges from the Mortgage Loan Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11(b), (A) a Note B Holder’s right to cure a monetary default or non-monetary default shall be limited to six (6) Cure Events over the life of the Mortgage Loan and (B) no single Cure Event may exceed four (4) consecutive months. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that if a single Event of Default is cured for four consecutive months, that same Event of Default may not be cured in the succeeding (fifth) month, a Note B Holder would be permitted to cure a different Event of Default in such succeeding (fifth) month. As used herein, “Cure Event” means a Note B Holder’s exercise of cure rights, whether for one (1) month or for consecutive months in the aggregate (and, in such case, such cure for such consecutive months shall constitute one (1) Cure Event). Cure Events in addition to the number of Cure Events permitted under this Section 11(b) shall only be permitted with the consent of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) or, at any time that the Mortgage Loan is included in the Lead Securitization, the Special Servicer.

Promptly after any Transfer (other than any Transfer between Initial Holders or any Transfer by an Initial Holder to a Securitization Trust), non-transferring Holders shall be provided with (x) a representation from the related transferee or the applicable 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 an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If a 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 Holder and (b) if any such non-transferring 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 Confirmation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of any other Holder or of any other Person or having to provide any Rating Agency Confirmation, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note to an entity that is not the Mortgage Loan Borrowers or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party.

(b)       In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such 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 Holder in connection with such 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 Holder had not sold such participation interest.

(c)        Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrowers or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit facility to such 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 18(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a 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 Holder to each other Holder and any 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 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; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations to each 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 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 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 Holder; (v) that such other 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 Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Holder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable

52

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

credit agreement 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 shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization 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 such other Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging 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 Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrowers 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 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 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 18(c) shall remain effective as to any Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such 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 Holder then such 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 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 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 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 Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the Pledge of such Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

53

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

(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 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.

19.       Other Business Activities of the Holders. Each of the Holders acknowledges that the other Holders may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrowers (“Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to the 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.

20.       Exercise of Remedies by the Servicer.

(a)       Each of the Holders acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation, the Controlling Holder’s rights under Section 21 hereof) and the Servicing Agreement, (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or Trustee (if any) on its behalf) may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights that such Lead Securitization Note Holder (or such Servicer or Trustee (if any)) may have hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the other Holders, so long as such actions are in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the other terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no liability whatsoever to the other Holders as a result of such Lead Securitization Note Holder’s (or any Servicer’s or Trustee’s) exercise of such rights or any omission by such Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or Trustee) to exercise such rights, except as expressly provided herein or for acts or omissions that are taken or omitted to be taken by such Lead Securitization Note Holder that constitute the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lead Securitization Note Holder or a breach of this Agreement, and (iii) the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) service and administer the Mortgage Loan on behalf of each Note A Holder and each Note B Holder (as a collective whole) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, taking into account the interests of each Note A Holder and each Note B Holder; but in all cases giving due consideration to the fact that each B Note is subject and subordinate to each A Note in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Note A Holder and each Note B Holder agree that the Servicer, to the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 21) and from and after the Lead Securitization Date subject to and in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, shall have the sole and exclusive authority (in each case, subject to the Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the rights of any Controlling Holder) 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 (i) to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) to consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrowers or any party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, (iii) to vote all claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar

54

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

proceedings and (iv) to take legal action to enforce or protect the Holders’ 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 in all cases acting in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the other Holders shall have no voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s or Servicer’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Each Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights, if any, that such Holder has (i) to declare or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Servicer to declare an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan (ii) to exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Servicer to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrowers or (iii) to vote any claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan (including claims arising from any one or more Notes) in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar type of proceeding of the Mortgage Loan Borrowers. Each Holder shall, from time to time, execute such documents as the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall reasonably request to evidence such assignment with respect to the rights described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence. Except when acting in the capacity of trustee or paying agent, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of such Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to the other Holders in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan but shall in all events be obligated to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Each Holder expressly and irrevocably waives for itself and any Person claiming through or under such Holder any and all rights that it may have under Section 1315 of the New York Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law or the provisions of any similar law that purports to give a junior noteholder, mortgagee or loan participant the right to initiate any loan enforcement or foreclosure proceedings.

(b)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) of its rights under this Section 20 shall be subject in all respects to any sections of the Servicing Agreement governing REMIC administration, and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action which would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Mortgage Loan Documents, violate Accepted Servicing Practices or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement or cause the arrangement evidenced hereby not to be treated as a “grantor trust” for Federal income tax purposes. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) shall exercise such rights and powers described in this Section 20 on the understanding that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) shall administer the Mortgage Loan in a manner consistent with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, provided that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor any Servicer or the

55

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf shall be liable to the other Holders with respect to anything the Lead Securitization Note Holder or such Servicer or the Trustee (if any) may do or omit to do in relation to the Mortgage Loan, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf may rely on the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other experts (including those retained by the Mortgage Loan Borrowers) and upon any written communication or telephone conversation which the Lead Securitization Note Holder or such Servicer or the Trustee (if any) believes to be genuine and correct or to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.

(c)        If title to the Mortgaged Properties are acquired for the benefit of the Holders 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 the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its nominee (which shall not include any Servicer) on behalf of the Holders. The Servicer, on behalf of the Holders, shall dispose of any REO Property utilizing reasonable best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to maximize the proceeds of such disposal to the Holders (as a collective whole) if and when such Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such disposal would be in the best economic interest of the Holders (as a collective whole). The Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Holders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(d)       The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement (including the rights of the Controlling Holder), to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement, all on such terms and for such period as such Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Holders (as a collective whole) and, in connection therewith, such Servicer shall only agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards or to terms that are more favorable to the Holders. The Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) 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”). The Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account within two Business Days after receipt all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property (other than Liquidation Proceeds, which shall be remitted to the Collection Account), and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Costs with respect to such REO Property, including:

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

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

56

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

(iii)      all ground rents in respect of any REO Property;

(iv)      all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property; and

(v)       to the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above and the Servicer has provided written notice of such shortfall to the Holders of the necessity to take actions pursuant to this subsection (d), any expenditure associated with such actions taken by the Servicer shall be payable by the Holders at their option pursuant to Section 9.

(e)       The Servicer shall contract with an independent contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Holders and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of any REO Property, within forty-five (45) days after the Holders’ acquisition thereof (unless the Holders approve otherwise), provided that:

(i)        the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be reasonable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement 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 Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the receipt thereof by such independent contractor;

(iii)      none of the provisions of this subsection (e) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such independent contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Holders or the Lead Securitization Note Holder on behalf of the Holders with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(iv)      the 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.

(f)       The 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 such Servicer by such independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. When and as necessary, the Servicer shall send to the Holders a statement prepared by the 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 in respect of, any REO Property.

57

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

(g)       With respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, which the Servicer has determined to sell in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer shall deliver to the Holders an officers’ certificate to the effect that, the Servicer has determined to sell the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with this subsection (g). The Servicer may then offer to sell to any Person the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan which is in default or the REO Property (and shall on a monthly basis advise the Holders in writing of the status of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property) or, subject to the following sentence, purchase the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property (in each case at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price), but shall, in any event, so offer to sell the REO Property no later than the time determined by the Servicer to be sufficient to result in the sale of the REO Property within the period specified in the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall deliver such officers’ certificate and give the Holders not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, in which case the Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price therefor, purchase the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price.

(h)       In the absence of any such offer at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, or purchase by the Servicer at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, such Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by such Servicer to be a fair price for the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property; provided, that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer, if the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer is not an offeror) shall be entitled to engage, at the expense of the Holders, an Appraiser to determine whether the highest offer is a fair price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Mortgage Loan Borrowers nor any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party may make an offer or purchase the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the REO Property pursuant hereto.

(i)        The Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders as a collective whole. In addition, the Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders as a collective whole (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 Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer. The Servicer shall in no event sell the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the REO Property other than for cash.

(j)        Subject to the other provisions of this Section 20, the Servicer shall act on behalf of the Holders in negotiating and taking other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of the Specially Serviced

58

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, any Servicer or any Holder, and, if such sale is consummated in accordance with the duties of the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, no such Person who so performed shall have any liability to any Holders with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Servicer.

(k)       The proceeds of any sale of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property after deduction of the direct out-of-pocket expenses of such sale incurred in connection therewith shall be promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day (or, if received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern time, two (2) Business Days) following receipt of properly identified funds, deposited in the Collection Account. Within thirty (30) days after the sale of the REO Property, the Servicer shall provide to the Holders a statement of accounting for the REO Property, including without limitation, (i) the date of disposition of the REO Property, (ii) the gross sales price, the selling and other expenses and the net sales price, (iii) accrued interest on the Note A Principal Balance at the applicable Note Interest Rate for each A Note, and on the Note B Principal Balance at the applicable Note Interest Rate for each Note B, in each case calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (iv) such other information as the Holders may reasonably request. The Servicer shall file information returns regarding the abandonment or foreclosure of Mortgaged Properties with the Internal Revenue Service at the time and in the manner required by the Code.

(l)        The provisions of subsections (c) through (k) of this Section 20 shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall control.

21.       Certain Powers of the Controlling Holder.

This Section 21 shall apply during the term of this Agreement; provided that from and after the Lead Securitization Date, (y) Section 21(c) and (d) shall be of no further force and effect and the analogous provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall control, and (z) Section 21(j), (k) and (l) shall be of no further force and effect.

The following provisions shall apply during the term of this Agreement:

(a)        The Controlling Holder shall be entitled to appoint (or act as) a “directing lender” (the “Directing Holder”) with respect to the Mortgage Loan and to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Directing Holder and the Controlling Holder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement (such designation to be made by written notice to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf)); provided, that if the Mortgage Loan Borrowers or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party owns any portion of a B Note, the ownership interests of such Person shall be deemed to equal zero for the purposes of determining which owners can vote to elect the Directing Holder, and provided, further, that in no event may the Mortgage Loan Borrowers or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party serve as the Directing Holder. Subject to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, such designation shall remain in effect until it is revoked by the Controlling Holder by a writing delivered to each of the other parties hereto.

59

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

(b)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to Section 21(d)), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall, prior to taking any Major Decision, be required to notify in writing the Directing Holder of any proposal to take any of such actions (and to provide the Directing Holder with such information requested by such Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of such Directing Holder in order to make a judgment) and to receive the written approval of the Directing Holder (which approval may be withheld in its sole discretion);

(c)       If the Directing Holder fails to notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) of its approval or disapproval of any such Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to the Directing Holder by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) of written notice (“Action Notice”) of such a Major Decision (which notice shall contain a legend, in capitalized, bold-faced type containing the following statement as the top of the first page: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR MAJOR DECISION APPROVAL. IF THE DIRECTING HOLDER FAILS TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THE ENCLOSED MAJOR ACTION WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, SUCH MAJOR DECISION WILL BE DEEMED APPROVED BY THE DIRECTING HOLDER”) together with any information requested by the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 21(b) or this Section 21(c), then if the Directing Holder fails to approve or reject the Major Decision within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Directing Holder’s approval will be deemed to have been given for such Major Decision (provided, that if the Directing Holder has failed to notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) of its approval or disapproval of any such Major Decision within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of the related Action Notice together with any information requested by the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 21(b) or this Section 21(c), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) will be required to promptly provide to the Directing Holder a second Action Notice bearing the same legend as the first Action Notice). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts funded by any Holder under the Mortgage Loan Documents as a result of (1) the making of any protective Advances or (2) interest accruals or accretions and any compounding thereof (including default interest) with respect to the Notes shall not at any time be deemed to require prior notice to the Directing Holder (except as otherwise expressly required by this Agreement) or otherwise contravene this subsection. To the extent the Mortgage Loan Borrowers request or the Servicer or Special Servicer structures, as part of a workout or otherwise, an extension of the Mortgage Loan for two or more years beyond the Maturity Date, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain the prior written consent of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (in the same manner as the Directing Holder) in addition to the consent of the Directing Holder. The provisions of this Section 21(c) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall control.

(d)       With respect to any proposed action requiring consultation with or approval of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 21(b), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall prepare a summary of such proposed action and an analysis of whether or not such action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth the basis on which the Lead Securitization

60

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) made such determination, and shall promptly provide to each Holder copies of such summary and any other material documents and items reasonably necessary to make such determination by hard copy or electronic means on a timely basis. If any such proposed action is disapproved by the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall propose an alternate action (based on any counter-proposals received from the Directing Holder, to the extent such counter-proposal is consistent with Section 21(d) or, if no such counter-proposal is received by the Servicer when the disapproval of the Directing Holder is delivered to the Servicer, then based on any alternate course of action that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) may deem appropriate) until the approval of the Directing Holder is obtained; provided that if the Servicer and Directing Holder do not agree on a proposed course of action within sixty (60) days after the date on which the Servicer first proposed a course of action and the counter-proposals received from the Directing Holder would, in the judgment of the Special Servicer, be permitted to be ignored by the Special Servicer in accordance with clause (d) below, then after giving due consideration (subject to Section 21(d) hereof) to the alternatives and counterproposals, if any, provided by the Directing Holder the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall take such action as it deems appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the Mortgaged Properties or the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole) at a time earlier than the time that such Servicer would otherwise be entitled to take such action pursuant to this Section 21(d) or otherwise under this Agreement and (ii) such action requires consultation with and/or consent of the Directing Holder, then it shall contact the Directing Holder (by telephone, email or fax) promptly and shall discuss (unless the Directing Holder and the Lead Securitization Note Holder, as applicable, shall fail to respond in a reasonable time frame under the circumstances) the proposed action with such Directing Holder and the Lead Securitization Note Holder, as applicable, and, if the consent of the Directing Holder would ordinarily be required, attempt to reach agreement within the revised time frame prior to taking the proposed action, but shall be entitled to take the necessary emergency action within the necessary time frame regardless of whether it has been able to contact or obtained the agreement of the Directing Holder and the Lead Securitization Note Holder. If such emergency action is taken, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) will promptly notify the Directing Holder of the action so taken, the Servicer’s reasons for determining that immediate action was necessary and how the action differs from the proposed actions, if any, that had theretofore been approved by the Directing Holder. The provisions of this Section 21(d) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall control.

(e)        The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall be required to provide copies to each Non-Controlling Holder of any notice, information and report that is required to be provided to the Directing Holder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Directing Holder, and the Special Servicer shall be required to consult with each Non-Controlling Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, any Non-Controlling

61

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to any Non-Controlling Holder by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Holder, whether or not such Non-Controlling Holder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (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 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 Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) may take any Major Decision before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the Mortgaged Properties or the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole).

In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Holder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, at the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf), upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the (or the Servicer on its behalf) in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

(f)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction or objection from or by the Directing Holder, as contemplated by this Section 21, or no advice, direction or objection, if any, from or by any Non-Controlling Holder, may (and the related Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall ignore and act without regard to any such advice, direction or objection that such Holder (or Servicer on its behalf) has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would): (A) require or cause such Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) to violate applicable law, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or any section of this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement, including such Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (B) result in the imposition of federal income tax on any Securitization Trust, cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, (C) expose any Securitization Trust, any certificateholder of any related Securitization, the Depositor or the depositor of any Non-Lead Securitization, the Holders, the Servicer, the Trustee or the trustee of any Non-Lead Securitization, the Certificate Administrator or any certificate administrator of any Non-Lead Securitization, the operating advisor of any Non-Lead Securitization or their respective Affiliates, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or agents, to any material claim, suit or liability or (D) materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement.

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

Holders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent. Each Holder (by acceptance of its Note) acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Controlling Holder and the Directing Holder may each have relationships and interests that conflict with those of certificateholders in any Securitization and/or the other Holders; (ii) the Controlling Holder and the Directing Holder may act solely in their respective interests; (iii) the Controlling Holder and the Directing Holder do not have any duties to any Securitization Trust, the certificateholders in any Securitization or the other Holders; (iv) each of the Controlling Holder and the Directing Holder may take actions that favor interests of itself over the interests of the certificateholders in any Securitization and/or the other Holders; (v) neither the Controlling Holder nor the Directing Holder will have any liability whatsoever to any Securitization Trust, any party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, any party to any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the certificateholders in any Securitization or the other Holders or any other person (including the Borrowers) for having acted in accordance with or as permitted under the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this paragraph; and (vi) the certificateholders in any Securitization or the other Holders may not take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Holder or the Directing Holder or any of the respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, agents or principals thereof as a result of the Controlling Holder or the Directing Holder having acted in accordance with the terms of and as permitted under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this paragraph.

(h)       The Controlling 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 replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any such replacement Special Servicer shall be a Qualified Servicer in accordance with this Section 21(h). The Controlling Holder shall designate a Person to serve as Special Servicer by delivering to the Non-Controlling Holders, the Servicer and the then existing Special Servicer a written notice stating such designation and by satisfying the other conditions required under the Servicing Agreement (including a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Servicing Agreement), and by delivering to Holder that is a Non-Lead Securitization a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any rated securities issued in such Non-Lead Securitization. The Controlling Holder shall promptly pay any expenses incurred by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) in connection with such replacement. The Controlling 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 21(h). The fees payable to any replacement Special Servicer contemplated in this Section 21(h) at any time, from and after the Lead Securitization, when the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement is no longer in effect, shall be at then market rates for such services. Upon the occurrence of the Lead Securitization governing the servicing of the Mortgage Loan, the initial Special Servicer designated in the applicable Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer. If a Special Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects the Non-Controlling Holder, the Non-Controlling Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization, the Controlling Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to

63

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

and in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. The Controlling Holder and the Non-Controlling 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 Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling Holder. From and after the Lead Securitization Date, the termination and replacement of the Special Servicer shall be governed by the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(i)         [Reserved.]

(j)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Note B-1 Holder, the Note B-2 Holder, the Note B-3 Holder or the Note B-4 Holder of notice indicating that such Note B Holder is no longer the Controlling Holder, such Note B Holder may, at its option, post with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or, if a Securitization has occurred, with the applicable Master Servicer, Special Servicer, or Trustee) (a) cash collateral for the benefit of, and reasonably acceptable to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or (b) a Letter of Credit (in each case, if there has been a Securitization, together with documentation reasonably acceptable to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer to create and perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Securitization in such collateral) (to be held by Lead Securitization Note Holder in a segregated securities account solely and exclusively in the name of each Note A Holder, meeting the Rating Agency criteria for an “eligible account” on behalf of each Note A Holder) in an amount which, when added to and for this purpose considered a part of the appraised value of the Mortgaged Properties, will cause the related Note B Holder to remain the Controlling Holder (such cash or Letter of Credit, “Reserve Collateral”). The applicable Note B Holder may make such election upon written notice to the Lead Securitization Note Holder of its intention to post Reserve Collateral, and upon notifying Lead Securitization Note Holder of such intention, such Note B Holder shall post such Reserve Collateral as quickly as practicable (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days following the receipt of the above notice) by delivering such Reserve Collateral to Lead Securitization Note Holder. The applicable Note B Holder shall grant to and create in favor of each Note A Holder a first priority perfected pledge and security interest in the Reserve Collateral in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lead Securitization Note Holder. Lead Securitization Note Holder will require an opinion, in form and substance and from counsel reasonably acceptable to Lead Securitization Note Holder, regarding the validity, perfection and priority of each Note A Holder’s interest in any Reserve Collateral. In addition, the applicable Note B Holder shall pay or cause to be paid any and all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by each Note A Holder (and any servicing party on its behalf) associated with the delivery and/or pledge of such Reserve Collateral, including the costs and expenses of any opinion of counsel. Upon the posting of such Reserve Collateral and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth above, the applicable Note B Holder shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights of the Controlling Holder hereunder; provided, however, that such posting of such collateral and such satisfaction of conditions shall not prevent such Note B Holder from losing its status as the Controlling Holder again (provided that such collateral shall be taken into account in determining the Mortgaged Properties’ value when calculating whether such Note B Holder is no longer the Controlling Holder), in which

64

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

event the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not again apply and such Note B Holder shall not again be entitled to post Reserve Collateral. Any Reserve Collateral shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” for purposes of the REMIC provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and such property (and the right to reimbursement of any amounts with respect thereto from a REMIC) shall be beneficially owned by such Note B Holder, who shall be taxed on all income with respect thereto. The provisions of this Section 21(j) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.

(k)       Following a Final Recovery Determination with respect to the Mortgage Loan and application of all proceeds of the liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Properties or any REO Property, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall be entitled to draw on or liquidate the Reserve Collateral and apply the proceeds thereof to reimburse each Note A Holder for any Trust Fund Expense or Realized Loss borne or experienced by each Note A Holder, plus interest thereon from the date such Trust Fund Expenses or Realized Loss was borne or experienced to the date of reimbursement. Within ten (10) Business Days following such Final Recovery Determination and application, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall pay any remaining portion of such proceeds of the Reserve Collateral to the Note B Holder. The provisions of this Section 21(k) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.

(l)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Letter of Credit is posted as Reserve Collateral, then the related Note B Holder shall provide a replacement Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank in form and substance satisfactory to Lead Securitization Note Holder and each of such Rating Agencies (i) at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the expiration of the delivered Letter of Credit, and (ii) if the issuer of such Letter of Credit is at any time not an Approved Bank, within five (5) Business Days following written notice from Lead Securitization Note Holder to such effect. If the related Note B Holder does not effect such a replacement within the periods set forth in the preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be entitled immediately thereupon to draw on such Letter of Credit to the full extent of the amount then remaining available thereunder, in which case Lead Securitization Note Holder shall hold the proceeds of such draw as Reserve Collateral and shall be entitled to hold and apply such Reserve Collateral in the manner and for the purposes otherwise set forth above and below. The provisions of this Section 21(l) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.

22.       Further Assurances. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that each Holder may sell all or any portion of its respective Note, subject to the rights of the other Holders and the terms of this Agreement, and the related Mortgage Loan Documents in connection with the related Securitization. At the request and at the sole cost and expense of a requesting Holder, and to the extent not already required to be provided by the other Holders under this Agreement, each Holder shall reasonably cooperate with such requesting Holder and take such steps as may be reasonably required by such requesting Holder or any Rating Agency in order to satisfy the market standards to which the requesting Holder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by the Rating Agencies in connection with the related Securitization. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, each Holder’s agreement to:

65

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

(a)       execute such amendments to this Agreement as may be requested by the requesting Holder or the Rating Agencies to effect the related Securitization, provided that no such amendments shall materially and adversely affect any of the rights or remedies granted to any Note A Holder or Note B Holder hereunder (including, without limitation, the timing and amount of payment and the rights granted to a “Controlling Holder” or “Directing Holder”) or increase the obligations of such Holder hereunder;

(b)       cooperate with the reasonable requests from third-party service providers engaged by the requesting Holder to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by such Note A Holder or the Rating Agencies in connection with the Holders, the Notes or the Mortgage Loan; and

(c)        execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents to further sever the Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Holder take any action or refrain from taking any action that would violate any law of any applicable jurisdiction, would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices or would violate the REMIC Provisions of the Servicing Agreement or any other provision of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

23.       Reserved.

24.       No Pledge or Loan. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by any one or more Holders to any one or more other Holders, or a loan from any one or more Holders to any one or more other Holders. The Note B Holder shall have not any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds thereof shall be applied in respect of payments due under the Mortgage Loan, then the Note B Holder shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.

25.       Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

would not adversely affect the REMIC status of the Mortgage Loan or this Agreement, and (ii) a Rating Agency Confirmation, except that no Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required in connection with a modification (x) prior to the Lead Securitization Date, (y) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Servicing Agreement, or (z) 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, and (iii) if such modification, cancellation or termination would adversely affect the rights or materially affect the duties of any Servicer or Trustee, the written consent of such affected party.

27.        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; provided, that no successors or assigns of any Initial Note A Holder or Initial Note B Holder shall have any liability for a breach of representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement. Each Servicer and Trustee (if any) and each servicer and trustee of any Non-Lead Securitization is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

33.        Statement of Intent. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income, this Agreement shall be treated as creating a “grantor trust” (within the meaning of Code Section 671). The terms of this Agreement shall be interpreted to further this intention of the parties. The parties hereto agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Trustee (if any) or any other party so designated under the Lead Securitization Agreement on its behalf) shall file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with such intended characterization. Each other Holders by its acceptance of its interest herein, agrees, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, to file its own tax returns and reports in a manner consistent with such characterization. If the Internal Revenue Service were to characterize this Agreement as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, then each such other Holders authorizes and directs the Lead Securitization Note Holder to elect out of partnership accounting pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.761-2, and agrees to file its own tax returns and reports in a manner consistent therewith.

34.        Powers. Except as expressly provided herein, the grantor trust created pursuant to this Agreement will not engage in any activity that is inconsistent with the classification of this arrangement as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. Further, this grantor trust shall not (a) acquire any additional assets or (b) modify (or agree to the modification of) or dispose of its assets other than pursuant to the terms hereof. The grantor trust shall take no action (or fail to take any action) that will cause it (by the taking or by the failure to take, as the case may be) to be classified as other than a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes.

35.        Servicers of the Mortgage Loan. KeyBank National Association is hereby appointed by the Holders as the interim servicer of the Mortgage Loan. From and after the Lead Securitization Date, pursuant to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, KeyBank National Association will be appointed as the initial master servicer of the Trust Loan and the primary servicer of the Mortgage Loan and Situs Holdings, LLC will be appointed as the initial special servicer of the Mortgage Loan. Prior to the Lead Securitization Date, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to appoint and remove the Interim Servicer with or without cause under this Agreement and from and after the Lead Securitization Date, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to appoint and remove the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in accordance with 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 Servicer and/or the Special Servicer (except as set forth in the preceding sentence) and, to the extent applicable, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the paying agent on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and the other Holders agree to cooperate with any such Persons with respect to its exercise of such rights and obligations.

36.        Registration of Transfers. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the applicable Servicer or the Trustee on its behalf) shall maintain a register on which it shall record the names and addresses of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Holders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to it by any other Holders.

Note hereunder shall be recorded on such register. The transferring Holder (or the transferee) shall reimburse the Lead Securitization Note Holder for the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the terms of this Section 36.

37.       Non-Recourse Obligations of the Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or the Servicing Agreement (but subject to Section 10 and Section 40 hereof), no Holder shall be personally liable hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement other than to the extent of cash, property or other value realized or derived from its Note either (i) prior to its disbursement and receipt by the Holder or (ii) after its receipt by the Holder under the circumstances and to the extent provided under Section 8(b) hereof.

38.       [Reserved.]

39.       Withholding Taxes.

(a)        If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to the other Holders with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Servicer shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Holder), provided that the Servicer shall furnish such 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 Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Holder is subject to tax.

(b)       Each Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) 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 (or any Servicer on its behalf) to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to withhold Taxes from payments made to such 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 Holder shall, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(c)       Each Holder represents to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrowers) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrowers are obligated under

70

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

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 Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or the Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that it 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, (a) if a 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 (b) if a 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 Borrowers is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such 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-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Holder, as evidence of such 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 to each other Holder in respect of its Note or otherwise until such Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Note Holder the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

40.       Cooperation in Securitization; Re-Sizing of A Note; Provisions Relating to Securitization.

(a)       In connection with the Lead Securitization or any Non-Lead Securitization, Note B Holders hereby consent to the inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the Lead Securitization or such Non-Lead Securitization of the identity of the Note B Holders and the identification of other Persons that control the related B Note (other than the identification of its limited partners or other non-controlling investors). Note B Holders covenant and agree that in the event any A Note is to be included as an asset of the Lead Securitization or any Non-Lead Securitization, Note B Holders shall, at the related Initial Note A Holder’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements reasonably incurred by Note B Holders) and request, (i) meet with representatives of the Rating Agencies to discuss the business and operations of Note B Holders, (ii) cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and such Initial Note A Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization or such Non-Lead Securitization, as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and (iii) review and respond promptly with respect to any information (except as permitted above) relating to Note B Holders in the Lead Securitization or such Non-Lead Securitization document.

(b)       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as any Initial Holder or any affiliate thereof (an “Initial Holder Entity”) is the owner of an A Note (each, an “Owned Note”), such Initial Holder Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the

71

Co-Lender Agreement

(Cambridge Crossing – 350 and 450 Water Street)

Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrowers to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case, “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 New 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 Holder 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 Accepted Servicing Practices. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the Initial Holder 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.

(xix)upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, any termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and/or any replacement thereof, any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, or the effectiveness of any designation of a new Special Servicer, the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall promptly (and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such resignation, termination, replacement and/or appointment of a Master Servicer or Special Servicer) provide written notice thereof to each Non-Lead Trustee, each Non-Lead Master Servicer, and each Non-Lead Depositor, together with any information reasonably required (including, without limitation, any disclosure required under Item 1108 of Regulation AB) for the related Non-Lead Securitization to comply with any applicable reporting obligations under the Exchange Act; provided, that such notice shall not be deemed to be provided unless receipt thereof has been confirmed in writing (which may be by email) from the Non-Lead Depositor;

(xx)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 in connection with such Asset Review by providing the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer with any documents reasonably requested by the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer, but only to the extent (x) such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, and (y) the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer has not been able to obtain such documents from the related mortgage loan seller; and

23 

(xxi)any conflict between the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement shall be resolved in favor of this Agreement.

(f)Each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder agrees that it shall cause the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to provide as follows (and to the extent such following provisions are not included in such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, they shall be deemed incorporated therein and made a part thereof):

(i)such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances (and advance interest thereon) and any additional trust fund expenses, 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 the Notes are insufficient to cover such Property Protection 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, the Trustee or the Lead Securitization Trust, as applicable, out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s pro rata share of any such Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances (together with advance interest thereon) and/or other 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 account, 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 funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s pro rata share of any such Nonrecoverable Property Protection 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 and, in the case of the Lead Securitization Trust, to the extent of any additional trust fund expenses with respect to the Mortgage Loan) by the Non-Lead Securitization Trust, 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 Companion Distribution Account that are allocated to the Non-Lead Securitization Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified

24 

Parties for the Non-Lead Securitization Note’s pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;

(iii)the Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Trustee or Non-Lead Certificate Administrator will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Operating Advisor (i) promptly following the Non-Lead Securitization, notice of the deposit of the Non-Lead Securitization Note into a Securitization Trust (which notice may be (x) in the form of delivery (which may be by email) of a copy of the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (y) by email notification together with contact information for the Non-Lead Trustee, the Non-Lead Certificate Administrator, the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder as a “Non-Controlling Noteholder” 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, the Non-Lead Trustee or the party designated to exercise the rights of such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder as a “Non-Controlling Noteholder” under this Agreement (together with the relevant contact information) (which may be in the form of email delivery of a copy of any revised Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement); and

(iv)the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Lead Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions.

(g)The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall:

(i)give each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder that is included in a Securitization (if any) at the time of the Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note, notice of such Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note in writing (which may be by email) not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable pricing date for the Lead Securitization, together with contact information for each of the parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; and

(ii)send to each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder and the parties to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (that are not also party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) (x) on or promptly following the Lead Securitization Date (to the extent the applicable parties to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement have been engaged by the related Non-Lead Depositor on or prior to the Lead Securitization Date), a copy (in EDGAR-compatible format) of the execution version of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (y) within (1) one Business Day after the date of any re-filing by the Depositor of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with the Commission to account for any changes thereto (other than a formal amendment thereto following the Lead Securitization Date), a copy (in EDGAR-compatible format) of the re-filed Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and (z) promptly following distribution thereof to the parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, any changes made by the Depositor to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (other than a formal amendment thereto following the Lead Securitization Date).

25 

(h)Each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall provide (or cause to be provided) to the Lead Securitization Noteholder and the parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (provided that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement has been delivered to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder) notice of the closing of the related Non-Lead Securitization, in writing (which may be by email) prior to or promptly following the related Non-Lead Securitization Date, which notice shall include a copy of the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any obligation of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof shall be performed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

(j)At any time after the Securitization Date that the Lead Securitization Note is no longer subject to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to a servicing agreement that contains servicing provisions which are the same as or more favorable to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders, in substance, to those in the Servicing Agreement and all references herein to the “Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent servicing agreement; provided, however, that if a Non-Lead Securitization Note is in a Securitization, then a written confirmation shall have been obtained from each Rating Agency rating such Securitization that the appointment of the servicer(s) pursuant to such servicing agreement would not, in and of itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to the securities issued in connection with such Securitization; provided, further, that until a replacement servicing agreement has been entered into, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced in accordance with the servicing provisions set forth in the Servicing Agreement as if such agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Servicer under such replacement Servicing Agreement shall have no further obligations to advance monthly payments of principal and interest; provided, further, however, that until a replacement servicing agreement is in place, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan may be performed by any nationally recognized commercial mortgage loan servicer meeting the requirements of the Servicing Agreement appointed by the Lead Securitization Noteholder and the special servicer appointed by the Controlling Noteholder (which special servicer must satisfy the Required Special Servicer Rating of, or otherwise be acceptable to, each of the Rating Agencies rating any outstanding Securitization) and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing Agreement.

(k)Subject to the Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and subject to a Rating Agency Confirmation, and solely in the event that S&P rates any securities issued in connection with any Securitization of any A Note, the Servicer shall require the related Mortgage Loan Borrower to maintain insurance with an insurer meeting the minimum S&P ratings requirements specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any lender discretion with respect to such ratings in the related Mortgage Loan Documents).

Section 3.Payment Priorities of the Notes. The A Notes 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

26 

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 or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements that are required 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), 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 Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable to any Servicer (excluding master servicing fees, trustee fees, certificate administrator fees, operating advisor fees and asset representations reviewer fees (all of which shall be payable by each Noteholder to such party out of distributions made to such Noteholder in respect of its respective Note), with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Servicing Agreement (such amounts contemplated by clauses (x) and (y), “Withheld Amounts”), shall be applied to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

For clarification purposes, Default Interest and late payment charges (collectively, “Penalty Charges”) paid on the A Notes pursuant to this Section 3 shall be allocated to the Note A Holders on a pro rata basis and applied: first, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable on each such A 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, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable to the Noteholder of each such A Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, Non-Lead Master Servicer or 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 any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable); third, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable to each Note A Holder by the amount necessary to pay additional trust fund expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Servicing Agreement); and finally, (i) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges otherwise allocable pursuant to this Section 3 to the Lead Securitization Noteholder, to pay such remaining amount to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable pursuant to this Section 3 to any Note A Holder that is not the Lead Securitization Noteholder, to pay such remaining amount (x) prior to the Securitization of such A Note, to the related Note A Holder and (y) following the Securitization of such A Note, to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Servicing Agreement.

Section 5.Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) 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 other Noteholder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and consistent with the Servicing Standard, each Non-Lead Noteholder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) the rights, if any, that such Non-Lead Noteholder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 Noteholder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Noteholder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).

(b)The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Each Noteholder agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. The Servicers shall service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and consistent with the Servicing Standard. Servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 the Noteholders as a collective whole. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not limit or modify the rights of the Controlling Noteholder and/or the Controlling Noteholder Representative to exercise their respective rights specifically set forth under this Agreement.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 5(f) and 6), if the Servicer in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof in accordance herewith such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Loan Rate or scheduled amortization payments on such Mortgage Loan are reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on such Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment (other than an increase in the

28 

Mortgage Loan Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to the Note A Holders pursuant to Section 3 shall be made as though such Workout did not occur, with the payment terms of each A Note remaining the same as they are on the date hereof, the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such Workout shall be borne by the Note A Holders (pro rata based on the Principal Balances of their respective Notes).

(d)All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicers on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

(e)If any Note is included as an asset of a REMIC, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall each 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 Noteholders 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 interests of the Noteholders 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 Noteholders 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 months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes all or a portion of any A Note. The Noteholders agree that the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall be effected by compliance by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or its assignees with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interests therein. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 5(e), 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 (without reimbursement under Section 3) by each Noteholder with respect to the REMIC containing the Note owned by such Noteholder.

Anything herein or in the Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Note is included in a REMIC and the other Notes are not, the other Noteholders shall not be required to reimburse such Noteholder that deposited its Note in the REMIC 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 either such other Noteholder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

29 

(f)(i) Subject to clauses (ii) or (iii) below, if any consent, modification, amendment or waiver under or other action in respect of the Mortgage Loan (whether or not a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a Major Decision has been requested or proposed or any fact or circumstance has occurred requiring that a Major Decision be made, or if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer otherwise intends to make a Major Decision, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver prompt written notice thereof to the Controlling Noteholder and its Controlling Noteholder Representative, if any, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to taking action with respect to such Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision), and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other Person shall implement any decision with respect to such Major Decision (or make a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision) unless and until the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has received the written consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative).

(ii)       If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has not received a response from the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) with respect to such Major Decision within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the notice of such Major Decision, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deliver an additional copy of the notice of such Major Decision in all caps bold 14-point font: “This is a Second Notice. Failure to respond within five (5) Business Days of this Second Notice will result in a loss of your right to consent with respect to this decision,” and if the Controlling Noteholder fails to respond to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) with respect to any such proposed action within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such second notice, the Controlling Noteholder shall have no further consent rights with respect to such action (provided, however, that such failure to reply shall not affect the rights of the Controlling Noteholder to consent to any future actions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer may take actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) (or before consulting with any Non-Controlling Noteholder to the extent such Non-Controlling Noteholder has consultation rights with respect to such action) if the Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders as a collective whole, and the Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Noteholder. The foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a Servicer acting on its behalf) of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.

(iii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not follow any advice, direction, objection or consultation provided by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) that would require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate any applicable law, including the REMIC Provisions, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or

30 

materially expand the scope of the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) responsibilities under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

The Special Servicer shall be required to provide copies to each Non-Controlling Noteholder of any notice, information and report that is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder, and the Special Servicer shall be required to consult with each Non-Controlling  Noteholder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, any Non-Controlling Noteholder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Noteholder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to any Non-Controlling Noteholder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Noteholder, whether or not such Non-Controlling  Noteholder 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). After a Securitization of any Note that is not the Lead Securitization Note, references in this paragraph to a Non-Controlling Noteholder as such term relates to such Note shall mean the related Non-Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative.

In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Noteholder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, at the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (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.

The Noteholders acknowledge that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain certain provisions that give the Operating Advisor or Risk Retention Consultation Party certain non-binding consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions and other events related to compliance with the Risk Retention Rules applicable to the Lead Securitization.

(h)[Reserved.]

(i)[Reserved.]

(j)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Servicing Agreement, if at any time a Borrower Party is a Noteholder (a “Borrower Party Noteholder”), then (i) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall not have any rights as a Controlling Noteholder or a Controlling Class Representative, (ii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to

31 

appoint or terminate the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, (iii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to consult with or advise the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, and shall have no right to review and approve or comment on any Asset Status Report and (iv) in each and every instance where, pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer must take into account the interests of each Noteholder (or words of similar import), such consideration shall be given to the Borrower Party Noteholder only in its capacity as a holder of the applicable Note.

(k)If an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Servicing Agreement and subject to the Servicing Standard, elect to sell the Mortgage Loan, subject to the consent right of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), in which case such sale would include all of the A Notes and the Special Servicer shall provide notice to each Non-Lead Master Servicer, who shall provide notice to the related Non-Controlling Noteholder of the planned sale and of such Non-Controlling Noteholder’s opportunity to submit an offer on the A Notes together. Any such sale of all of the A Notes is subject to the satisfaction of the following:

(i)Each Non-Lead Noteholder has provided written consent to such sale; or

(ii)The Special Servicer has delivered the following notices and information to each Non-Lead Noteholder:

(A) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell all of the A Notes;

(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 Servicing File requested by a Non-Lead Noteholder; 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.

Any Non-Lead Noteholder may waive any delivery or timing requirements set forth above only for itself. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Noteholders shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of all of the A Notes (unless such Person is a Borrower or a Borrower Party Affiliate).

Each Non-Lead Noteholder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Noteholder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 respective Non-Lead Note. Each Non-Lead Noteholder further

32 

agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, the Non-Lead Noteholder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver its respective original Non-Lead Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the consummation of any such sale. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph is subject to the consent right of the Controlling Noteholder in the immediately preceding paragraph.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to sell a Non-Lead Note, and the obligations of a Non-Lead Noteholder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, 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 Person that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization from the Lead Securitization Trust 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 Noteholder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the Person 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.

Section 6.Appointment of Controlling Noteholder Representative.

(a)The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right at any time to appoint a controlling noteholder representative to exercise its rights hereunder (the “Controlling Noteholder Representative”). The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Noteholder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Noteholder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Noteholder Representative. The Controlling Noteholder Representative may be any Person (other than a Borrower Party), including, without limitation, the Controlling Noteholder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Noteholder, any Affiliate of the Controlling Noteholder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Noteholder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Noteholder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Noteholder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Noteholder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Noteholder and other Noteholders (and any Servicer) will accept such actions of the Controlling Noteholder Representative as actions of the Controlling Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until the Controlling Noteholder has notified the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) of such appointment and, if the Controlling Noteholder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Noteholder Representative provides the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address, any fax number and any email address for the delivery of notices and

33 

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, telephone numbers, any fax numbers and any email addresses). The Controlling Noteholder 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 Noteholder Representative until they receive such information from the Controlling Noteholder. The Controlling Noteholder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Noteholder Representative.

(b)Neither the Controlling Noteholder Representative nor the Controlling Noteholder will have any liability to any other Noteholder or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or for errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Noteholders agree that the Controlling Noteholder Representative and the Controlling Noteholder may take or refrain from taking actions that favor the interests of one Noteholder over any other Noteholder, and that the Controlling Noteholder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Noteholder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Noteholder Representative or such Controlling Noteholder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Noteholder Representative, such Controlling Noteholder 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 Noteholder Representative nor such Controlling Noteholder 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 solely in the interests of any Noteholder.

(c)Each of the other Noteholders acknowledges and agrees all of the aforementioned rights and obligations of the Controlling Noteholder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative set forth in Section 5(f) and 5(g) and this Section 6 shall be exercisable by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the applicable Person specified in the Servicing Agreement) to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

Section 7.Special Servicer. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), at its expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of counsel to any third parties and costs and expenses of the terminated Special Servicer), shall have the right, at any time from time to time, to appoint a replacement Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with or without cause, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Special Servicer (provided, however, that the Controlling Noteholder and/or Controlling Noteholder Representative shall not be liable for any termination or similar fee in connection with the removal of the Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7); such termination not to be effective unless and until (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation (to the extent any portion of the Mortgage Loan has been securitized); (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 the Servicing Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special

34 

Servicer as they relate to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and (C) the Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, the applicable Servicing Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with its terms. The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall promptly provide copies to any terminated Special Servicer of the documents referred to in the preceding sentence. The Lead Securitization Noteholder will reasonably cooperate with the Controlling Noteholder in order to satisfy the foregoing conditions, including the Rating Agency Confirmation.

The Controlling Noteholder agrees and acknowledges that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain provisions to the effect that any Special Servicer is subject to termination under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement based on a recommendation by the Operating Advisor if (A) 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 holders of securities issued under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as a collective whole) and (B) an affirmative vote of requisite certificateholders is obtained. The Controlling Noteholder will retain its right to remove and replace the Special Servicer, but the Controlling Noteholder may not restore a Special Servicer that has been removed in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Section 8.Payment Procedure.

(a)The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account established pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall establish a segregated sub-account for amounts due to each Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days following the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Master Servicer’s acting on its behalf) receipt of properly identified and available funds from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower; provided, however, that in the event the Master Servicer is in receipt of properly identified funds that are not available to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer may instead deposit such amounts into the Collection Account and Companion Distribution Account, as applicable, on the same Business Day that such properly identified funds become available to the Master Servicer.

(b)If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of a Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to such Noteholder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to such Noteholder and such Noteholder will promptly on demand by the Lead

35 

Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) repay to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have theretofore distributed to such Noteholder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have been required to pay to the Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, any other Noteholder or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) makes any payment to any other Noteholder before the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within three (3) Business Days of its payment to such other Noteholder, then such other Noteholder will, at the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Servicer’s on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf).

(d)Each Noteholder 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 Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) for application subject to and in accordance with this Agreement and the Servicing. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any other Noteholder, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such other Noteholder, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) enforce the obligations of one Noteholder against another Noteholder. Each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9.Limitation on Liability of the Noteholders. No Noteholder (including any Servicer on a Noteholder’s behalf, but only to the extent that the Servicing Agreement does not impose any other standard upon any Servicer, in which case the Servicing Agreement shall control) shall have any liability to any other Noteholder except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Noteholder.

Each Noteholder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, any other Noteholder may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that such Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of each other Noteholder and that such Noteholder shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by such Noteholder to exercise such rights; provided, however, that such Noteholder shall not be protected against any liability to any other Noteholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

36 

Section 10.Bankruptcy. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder (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. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder, as a creditor, 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. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, the Noteholders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Noteholder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 one or more of such Noteholders 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 Noteholders, hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder but subject to the provisions of Section 5(f), each other Noteholder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 14.Representations of the Note A Holders. Each of the Note A Holders 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 Noteholder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Noteholder and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Noteholder as applicable enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. Each of the Note A Holders represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its respective business. Each of the Note A Holders represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Noteholder, (b) to such Noteholder’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 Noteholder have

37 

been obtained or made and (c) to such Noteholder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Noteholder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Section 15.No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Note A Holders acknowledges that no other Noteholder owes such Noteholder any fiduciary duty with respect to any action taken under the Mortgage Loan Documents and, except as provided herein or in the Servicing Agreement, need not consult with such Noteholder with respect to any action taken by such Noteholder in connection with the Mortgage Loan.

Section 16.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 any of the Noteholders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase any future loan originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates and if any Noteholder chooses to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase any future mortgage loan originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Noteholder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Noteholder any future loans originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates.

Section 17.Not a Security. None of the Notes shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Section 18.Other Business Activities of the Noteholders. Each Noteholder acknowledges that each other Noteholder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, (i) (a) the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (b) any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (c) any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (d) any Affiliate of any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, (ii) any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of the holder of such debt, or (iii) any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of a holder of such preferred equity (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 19.Sale of the Notes.

(a)[Reserved.]

(b)[Reserved.]

(c)In the case of any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in a Note, (i) such Noteholder’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Noteholder shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the other Noteholders and any Persons acting on their behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s rights and

38 

obligations under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and (iv) all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Noteholder had not sold such participation interest; provided, however, that if the applicable participant is a Qualified Institutional Lender (and delivers to the other Noteholders a certification from an authorized officer confirming its status as a Qualified Institutional Lender), such Noteholder, by written notice to the other Noteholders, may delegate to such participant such Noteholder’s right to exercise the rights of the Controlling Noteholder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.

(d)Each of the Note A Holders shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of its Note without the prior consent of any other Noteholder (i) prior to an Event of Default, to any party other than a Borrower Party and (ii) after an Event of Default, to any party, including a Borrower Party; provided, however, that following any Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, a Note A Holder may only transfer all or any portion of its Note to a Borrower Party with the prior written consent of the Controlling Noteholder at any time when such Note A Holder is not the Controlling Noteholder; provided further, however, that following any Transfer of any A Note, the Mortgage Loan continues to be serviced in its entirety pursuant to the Servicing Agreement by a Servicer unaffiliated with Mortgage Loan Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 12, no Noteholder or the Servicer shall have any right to Transfer or cause the Transfer of any other Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note A Holder’s prior consent, and, if any such non-transferring Note A Holder’s Note or any portion thereof is held in a Securitization Trust, without a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the related Securitization, no Noteholder shall Transfer its Note or any portion thereof (or a participation interest in such Note) to a Borrower Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.

(e)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than a Borrower Party) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Noteholder and that is (x) 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 (y) to any Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank to secure any obligation of such Noteholder to such bank and such pledge shall be enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 19(e), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Noteholder or any person which Controls such Noteholder that is secured by such Noteholder’s interest in the applicable 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) prior to the first Securitization of any Note, the consent of each other Noteholder and (b) after the closing of the first Securitization of any Note, Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Noteholder to each other Noteholder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Noteholder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Noteholder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations to each other Noteholder 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

39 

consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Noteholder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Noteholder and accept any cure thereof by such Note Pledgee which such pledging Noteholder has the right (but not the obligation) to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Noteholder; (v) that such other Noteholder 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 Noteholder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Noteholder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Noteholder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Noteholder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Noteholder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Noteholder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Noteholder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Noteholder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Noteholder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Noteholder and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Noteholder on account of any Noteholder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or any such other Noteholder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Noteholder 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 Noteholders 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 Noteholder’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 Noteholder 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 19(e) shall remain effective as to any Noteholder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Noteholder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

(f)Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Noteholder then such Noteholder 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 made by the Conduit (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) to such Noteholder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note will require a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

(ii)The Conduit Credit Enhancer and conduit manager (if Moody’s rates the Securitization) will be a Qualified Institutional Lender;

40 

(iii)Such Noteholder will pledge (or sell, transfer or assign as part of a repurchase facility) its interest in the applicable Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

(iv)The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit will agree that, if such Noteholder 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 Noteholder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Noteholder’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 the consent of each other Noteholder, have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Noteholder, 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 20.Assignment and Assumption Upon Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Note to any entity (but excluding (x) any participant and (y) any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Noteholder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the restrictions on Transfers set forth in Section 19, from and after the date of such assignment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, neither the Trustee nor any Non-Lead Trustee shall be required to execute an assignment and assumption agreement in connection with any Transfer of a Note if the obligations are assumed pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or a Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as the case may be. In connection with a Transfer of a Note, the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 19 and this Section 20. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and any other Noteholder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 21.Registration of the Notes. 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 Section 20, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Note owing to each such Noteholder, 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, except in the case of the Initial Noteholders who may hold their Notes through a nominee. Upon request of a Noteholder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the Noteholders. To the extent another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, the Noteholders hereby designate such person as their agent under this Section 21 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register. The parties intend for the Mortgage Loan

41 

to be in registered form for federal income tax purposes under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Section 22.[Reserved.]

Section 23.No Pledge. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by any one or more Noteholders to any one or more other Noteholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Noteholder shall have any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then each Non-Lead Noteholder shall be entitled to receive its share of the application thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.

Section 24.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 DUTIES 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 26.Modifications; Amendment. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Noteholder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Noteholders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first receiving a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies shall be required in connection with a modification or amendment (i) to cure any ambiguity, or (ii) entered into pursuant to Section 38 of this Agreement or (iii) to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

Section 27.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 permitted assigns.

Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Noteholder hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to make further assignments.

Section 28.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 29.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 30.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 31.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.

(d)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 of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

44 

(e)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;

(f)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 20; and

Section 37.Termination of Agent. The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Note A-1 Holder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 37, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.

The Agent may resign at any time upon notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders, has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. DBRI, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Noteholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholders 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 the Initial Agent or any successor thereto upon such Securitization without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of the Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement without any further notice or other action, in which case the appointment of a successor Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall be deemed an appointment of such successor Master Servicer as successor Agent under this Agreement without any further notice or other action.

Section 38.Resizing. In connection with the Mortgage Loan, each Noteholder agrees, subject to clause (iii)(y) below, that if any Note A Holder determines that it is advantageous to resize its Note by causing the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated or additional pari passu notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of such Note to such New Notes, each Noteholder other than the resizing Noteholder shall cooperate with the resizing Noteholder to effect such resizing at such resizing Noteholder’s expense; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is no greater than the principal balance of such Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is the same as the interest rate of the related Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, and (iii) no such resizing shall (x) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to, any other Noteholder, or priority of such payments, or

45 

(y) increase any other Noteholder’s obligations or decrease any other Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with any resizing of any A Note, the related Noteholder may allocate its rights hereunder among the New Notes in any manner in its sole discretion.

Section 39.Conflict. To the extent of any inconsistency between the Servicing Agreement, on one hand, and this Agreement, on the other, this Agreement shall control.

Section 40.Cooperation in Securitization.

(a)Each Noteholder acknowledges that each Noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization of any A Note, each other Noteholder, at the request of the related securitizing Noteholder, shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at the requesting Noteholder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the requesting Noteholder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the requesting Noteholder customarily adheres or which 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 the requesting Noteholder 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, however, that either in connection with such Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to such Securitization no other Noteholder 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 any payments to be made to, such Noteholder, (ii) increase such Noteholder’s obligations or decrease such Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections hereunder or under any Mortgage Loan Document, or (iii) otherwise materially adversely affect the rights and interests of such Noteholder. In connection with any such Securitization of an A Note, each other Noteholder agrees to provide, for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to such Securitization, such customary non-confidential information concerning such Noteholder as the requesting Noteholder reasonably determines to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with such Securitization. Each Noteholder covenants and agrees that if it is not the requesting Noteholder, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the requests of each Rating Agency and the requesting Noteholder in connection with the preparation of any offering documents in connection with the Securitization, and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to it in any Securitization document, all at the cost and expense of the requesting Noteholder. Each Noteholder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the requesting Noteholder pursuant to this Section 40 may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization. A requesting Note A Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by each other Noteholder pursuant to this Section 40.

(b)Each Note A Holder securitizing its Note may, at its election, deliver to each other Noteholder drafts of the preliminary and final Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus, preliminary prospectus and any other disclosure documents and (in the case of the Lead Securitization) the Servicing Agreement simultaneously with distributions of any such documents to the general working group of the related Securitization. Each other Noteholder may,

46 

at its election, review and comment thereon insofar as it relates to such other Noteholder and/or its Note, and, if such other Noteholder elects to review and comment, such other Noteholder shall review and comment thereon as soon as possible (but in no event later than (i) in the case of the first draft thereof, two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof and (ii) in the case of each subsequent draft thereof, the deadline provided to the general working group of the related Securitization for review and comment), and if such other Noteholder fails to respond within such time, such other Noteholder shall be deemed to have elected to not comment thereon (but no failure to comment shall constitute a waiver of such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). In the event of any disagreement between any such other Noteholder with respect to the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus, free writing prospectus or any other disclosure documents, the requesting Noteholder’s determination shall control (the parties acknowledging that no inaccuracy in such documents shall in any respect prejudice any such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). No such other Noteholder shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any such offering documents other than the accuracy of any comments it elects to make regarding itself.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Note A Holder acknowledges and agrees that (i) no other Noteholder shall be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such Note A Holder’s respective Securitization of such Note A Holder’s A Note, and (ii) each such other Noteholder shall only be required to disclose such customary non-confidential information reasonably determined by the requesting Note A Holder to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with such Note A Holder’s respective Securitization.

Section 3.             Priority of Payments. Each Note shall be of equal priority, and no portion of either Note shall have priority or preference over any portion of the 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, 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 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 reimbursements of P&I Advances previously made (and interest thereon) on the Lead Securitization Note, and (ii) any Servicing Fees due to the Master Servicer in excess of the Non-Lead Securitization Note’s pro rata share of that portion of such Servicing Fees calculated at the “primary servicing fee rate” (or analogous term) applicable to the Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) to any Servicer or the Trustee, 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(e) hereof) reimbursable to, or payable to, such parties and any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Workout Fees, Assumption Fees, Modification 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 Property Advances and reimbursement of any Property 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, Non-Lead Master Servicer or 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 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 (including 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, be paid to the

26

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(d)) 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no 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, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and the 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 behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to the 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, to sell the Notes as

27

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 in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price. Subject to the other provisions of this paragraph and the two following paragraphs and the applicable provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of such Defaulted Mortgage Loan.

Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror) unless (i) the offer is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price, (ii) the offer is the highest offer received and (iii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties; provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In all cases under this Agreement (except to the extent the Trustee is not required to determine whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence), in determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee 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 9-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be an Appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer if no Interested Person is making an offer with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (ii) the Trustee if an Interested Person is so making an offer. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Property Advance. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage 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 the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, any Appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loan shall in all cases be deemed a fair price; provided, however, that with respect to Interested Parties, the requirements of the first sentence of this paragraph must be satisfied.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the 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 Mortgage Loan that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph will be covered by,

28

 and will be reimbursable by the Interested Person; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.

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 the Non-Controlling Note Holder (provided that such consent is not required if the 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 Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by the 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 any Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that such 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, the Non-Controlling Note Holder and the Non-Controlling 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.

The 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 Non-Lead Securitization Note. The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of the 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 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 Note, and the obligations of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 Person that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization from the Lead Securitization Trust 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

29

the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the Person 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 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 materially and adversely affect the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder without the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s prior written consent. The 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 its 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 Controlling 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 Controlling Class Representative may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made therein, in each case subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(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 the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), within the same time frame it is required to provide

30

such notice, information or report 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 the 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, the 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 the 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 the 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 that would be required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative as set forth above, 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 the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), whether or not the 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 non-binding consultation rights of the 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 the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

In addition to the non-binding consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, the 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 Servicer) 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.

(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)

31

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.

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 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.

(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. 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 the 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

32

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 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.

(b)          Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will have any liability to the 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 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, 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)          The 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 (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 Section 6(a) (except those contained in the last sentence thereof) and Section 6(b) shall apply to the Non-Controlling Note Holder and the Non-Controlling Note Holder 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 Holder of the Non-Controlling Note, provided that at any time a Non-Controlling Note is included in a Securitization, references to a “Non-Controlling Note Holder” herein shall mean, with respect to such Note, the Non-Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative or any other party assigned the rights to exercise the rights of a “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.

33

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, with or without cause, subject to the terms and conditions 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 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, without limitation, a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), if any; provided, that in the event the replacement Special Servicer does not have the Required Special Servicer Rating from any Rating Agency rating the Non-Lead Securitization, a Rating Agency Confirmation will be required to be obtained with respect to such Rating Agency and delivered to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder. 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 the Non-Controlling Note Holder, the 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 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 the Non-Controlling Note Holder. The 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, shall

34

deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Loan Combination 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 (2) 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.

(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, the 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 Holder and the 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 the 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 the 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, the 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to the 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 Initial Note Holder shall have no liability to the 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 Initial 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

35

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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to the 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(d), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Servicer 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 Servicer, and not the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or any of its representatives, 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 Servicer as their agent, and grant to the Servicer 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 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 Servicer, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Servicer 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

36

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.           Independent Analysis of Each Note Holder. Each Note Holder acknowledges that, except for the representations made in Section 11, it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Note Holders and based on such documents and information as such Note Holder has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to purchase its respective Note. Each Note Holder hereby acknowledges that the other Note Holders shall have no 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 Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder assumes all risk of loss in connection with its respective Note for reasons other than gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement by any other Note Holder or gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by any Servicer.

Section 13.           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. Neither Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to the other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates and if either Note Holder chooses to offer to the 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. Neither Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the other Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates.

Section 14.           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.

37

Section 15.           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 in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 16 (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 obtain the 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 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 the 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 Holder, the Rating Agencies 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 15(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of all the 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 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.

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

38

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 15(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 the other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), the other Note 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 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 the 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 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 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

39

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 15(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 16.           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

40

 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 16, 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 16 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 15, 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 15 and this Section 16. 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 Holder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 17.           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 18.           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 SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

41

 (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 19.           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 receiving a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment or modification will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of its then current ratings of the securities issued in connection with a Securitization; provided that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies 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.

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, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer and the 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 15 and Section 16, 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.

Section 21.           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and the words “executed,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import as used above and elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this transaction shall include, in addition to manually executed signatures, images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, any electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or

42

logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

Section 22.           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 23.           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 24.           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 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of the 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 the 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 the 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,

43

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.

(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) or Form W-8BEN, 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note or otherwise until the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Note Holder requested 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 Note) (a) prior to the Lead Securitization will be held by the Initial Agent (or a custodian on its behalf) 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 Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at the Lead Securitization Note

44

Holder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the Lead Securitization Note Holder customarily adheres or that may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization 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 the Securitization; provided, however, that either in connection with the Lead Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to the Lead Securitization, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not 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, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or (ii) materially increase the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations or materially decrease the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with the Lead Securitization, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees to provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the Lead Securitization such information concerning the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Non-Lead Securitization Note as the Lead Securitization Note Holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder covenants and agrees that it shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable the Lead Securitization Noteholder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and the Lead 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Non-Lead Securitization Note in any Securitization document. The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the Lead Securitization Note Holder may be incorporated into the offering documents for the Lead Securitization. The Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder. The Lead Securitization Note Holder will reasonably cooperate with the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder by providing all information reasonably requested that is in the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s possession in connection with the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s preparation of disclosure materials in connection with a Securitization.

Upon request, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder drafts of the preliminary and final Lead Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and provide reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents.

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

45

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.

Prior to Securitization of the Non-Lead Securitization Note (including any New Notes), all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or the 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 Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative and, when so delivered to the 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or the 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 Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Special Servicer (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead 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.

Section 29.           Broker. Each Note Holder represents to each other that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.

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 15 and Section 16;

(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;

46

(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 16;

(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.           Reserved.

Section 32.           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. The 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, the 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 the Initial Agent or any successor thereto prior to such Securitization 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 33.           Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as CREFI or an affiliate thereof (a “CREFI Entity”) is the owner of the Non-Lead Securitization Note (the “Owned Note”), such CREFI 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 (including after a default and in connection with a condemnation or prepayment) and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, and (iv) the CREFI Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization

47

Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts. Except for the foregoing reallocation or severance 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 other Note Holder. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in (i) through (iv) above are satisfied, as certified by the CREFI 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 (which may include the amendment or addition of applicable defined terms to reflect the New Notes) or such severing of the Owned Note. If an Owned Note is severed into “component” notes, such component notes shall each have the same rights as the related Owned Note. For the avoidance of doubt, Rating Agency Confirmation shall not be required for any amendments to this Agreement required to facilitate the terms of this Section 33.

-20-

after the related due date under the Mortgage Loan shall be remitted by the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 18(b)(x) of this Agreement.

(a)  Each Holder may Transfer up to 49% (in the aggregate) 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% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note unless (i) prior to a Securitization of any Note, the other Holders have 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 Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if 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 related 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 the other Holders 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

-23-

Rating Agencies may charge the transferring Holder customary fees in connection with providing such Rating Agency Confirmation.

(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(d) 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 the other Holders and any Master Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), the other Holders agree to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agree: (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 the other Holders 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 the other Holders 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 the other Holders 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 the other Holders; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to any 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 the other Holders 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

-24-

Holders in good faith to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted 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, the other Holders and any 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 the Non-Lead Note Holders in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Servicer and such Trustee from

-25-

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 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 a 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.

Any 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, the Non-Lead Note Holders and the Non-Directing Holders 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), the Non-Lead Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Note Holder as their agent, and grant 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 the Non-Lead Notes. 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 to or at the direction of Lead Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the

-26-

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 the related 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(f) 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, 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

-27-

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 the other 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 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 the other Holder, and that the Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another 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 the other Holders 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 Holders. (a)  The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Servicer shall be required:

(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 the Non-Directing Holders, within the

-28-

same time frame it is required to provide to the Directing Holder; provided, however, following a Non-Lead Securitization, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the related Non-Directing Holder or the related Non-Lead Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be delivered to the related Non-Lead Master Servicer, the related Non-Lead Special Servicer and the related Non-Lead Certificate Administrator (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, Non-Lead Special Servicer and Non-Lead Certificate Administrator, the Lead 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; provided, however, that all items that relate to the related Non-Lead Depositor’s compliance with any applicable securities laws shall also be delivered to such Non-Lead Depositor; and

(ii)            to consult with each 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 each 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 the Non-Directing Holders (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 the Non-Directing Holders, 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, the Non-Directing Holders 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 of the Non-Directing Holders.

-29-

(e)                Any Non-Directing Holder that is a Borrower Party 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 related 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 Note and (ii) pursuant to the terms of a 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. The Lead Servicer and/or the related Trustee will not be required to make any P&I Advance with respect to any Non-Lead Note and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and/or the related Non-Lead Trustee will not be required to make any P&I Advance with respect to any Lead Note, any other Non-Lead Note or any Property Advance. The Lead Servicer, each Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Trustee and any related 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-1-1 PSA, the Note A-1-2 PSA, the Note A-1-3 PSA, the Note A-2-1 PSA, the Note A-2-2 PSA and the Note A-2-3 PSA, as applicable.

(b)               The Lead Servicer and the related 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 related Trustee, as applicable, for any Property Advance and/or interest thereon and the Lead Servicer or the related 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 the related 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 the related 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-1-1 PSA, the Note A-1-2 PSA, the Note A-1-3 PSA, the Note A-2-1 PSA, the Note A-2-2 PSA and the Note A-2-3 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-1-1 PSA, the Note A-

-30-

1-2 PSA, the Note A-1-3 PSA, the Note A-2-1 PSA, the Note A-2-2 PSA and the Note A-2-3 PSA, as applicable.

(e)                If the Lead Servicer or the related Trustee elects to defer the reimbursement of a Property Advance in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Servicer or the related Trustee shall also defer its reimbursement of each Non-Lead Note share from the Non-Lead Note Holders.

18.              Provisions Relating to Securitization. (a)  For so long as an Initial Note Holder or its Affiliate (an “Initial Note Holder Entity”) is the owner of its Note(s), such Initial Note Holder Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of its Note(s) or severing its Note(s) into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then-outstanding principal balance of its Note(s), provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of the New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the principal balance of the related original Note(s) prior to such amendments, (ii) all New Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the original Note(s) prior to such amendments, (iii) all New 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 and (iv) the Initial Note  Holder Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the other Holders (or, for any Note that has been contributed to a Securitization, to the trustee and the applicable master servicer of such Securitization) in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts. In connection with the foregoing, (1) the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to execute amendments to the Loan Agreement and this Agreement (or to amend and restate the Loan Agreement and this Agreement) on behalf of any or all of the Holders solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal or such severing of Note(s), (2) if a Note is severed into “component” notes, such component notes shall each have their same rights as the respective original Note (except if such original Note is Note A-1-1, then the applicable Initial Note Holder shall designate one of the New Notes to take the place of Note A-1-1 in the definitions of “Directing Holder”, “Lead Note”, “Lead Securitization”, “Non-Directing Holder” and “Servicing Agreement”, and (3) the definition of the term “Securitization” and all of the related defined terms may be amended (and new terms added, as necessary) to reflect the New Notes. Rating Agency Confirmation shall not be required for any amendments to this Agreement required to facilitate the terms of this paragraph 18(a).

(b)               The Lead Note Holder agrees that it shall cause the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to provide as follows (and to the extent such following provisions are not included in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, they shall be deemed incorporated therein and made a part thereof):

(i)            the Master Servicer or Trustee shall be required to provide written notice to each Non-Lead Master Servicer and each Non-Lead Trustee of any P&I Advance it has made with respect to the Lead Note within two (2) Business Days of making such advance;

-31-

(ii)            if the Master Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to the Lead Note or Property Advance with respect to the Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance or Property 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 any Non-Lead Note, net of the Servicing Fees payable to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Lead Note, and any other applicable fees and reimbursements payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with respect to such Non-Lead Note, to the related Non-Lead Note Holder by the Master Servicer Remittance Date for the Non-Lead Note; provided, that any late collections received by the Master Servicer after the related due date under the Mortgage Loan shall be remitted by the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 18(b)(x) below;

(iv)            with respect to any Non-Lead Note that is held by a Securitization, the Master Servicer agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered or make available to the related Non-Lead Master Servicer all reports required to be delivered by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (which shall include all loan-level reports constituting the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package (IRP)) pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the extent related to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, such Non-Lead Note, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee by the Business Day following the Master Servicer Remittance Date for the Non-Lead Note;

(v)            the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide (or the Special Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer for provision by the Master Servicer) (in electronic media) to each Non-Lead Note Holder all documents, certificates, instruments, notices, reports, operating statements, rent rolls and other information regarding the Mortgage Loan provided by it to any other party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement at the time provided to such other party;

(vi)            the servicing duties of each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall include the duty to service the Mortgage Loan and all of the Notes on behalf of the Holders (including the respective trustees and certificateholders) in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and the Servicing Standard;

(vii)            each Non-Lead Note Holder shall be entitled to the same indemnity as the Lead Note Holder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, any primary servicer and the Custodian shall be required to (and shall require any Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer engaged by it to) indemnify each “certification party” and the depositor of any public Securitization Trust, and their

The Workout Fee with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall cease to be payable if the Mortgage Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or if the Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property; provided that, if the Mortgage Loan thereafter ceases to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, a new Workout Fee shall become payable to the applicable Servicer that had responsibility for servicing the Mortgage Loan at such time.

2.                  Subordination of Note B. Note B and the right of the Note B Holder to receive payments with respect to Note B shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times be junior, subject and subordinate to each A Note and the rights of each Note A Holder to receive payments with respect to its respective A Note.

3.                  Intentionally Omitted.

4.                  Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)                From and after the date hereof and prior to the Lead Securitization Date, the Interim Servicer shall administer and service the Mortgage Loan consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Interim Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Documents, Accepted Servicing Practices and applicable law.

(b)               From and after the Lead Securitization Date, the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided that:

(i)                 except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Note B Holder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be materially impaired compared to the rights and remedies of the Note B Holder set forth herein (and the obligations of the Note B Holder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be materially increased compared to the obligations of the Note B Holder set forth herein),

(ii)               the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may differ from this Agreement to the extent requested by the Rating Agencies, the subordinate bond buyers or any of the other parties thereto and differences necessary in order that each Initial Note A Holder and its Affiliates obtain accounting “sale” treatment for its respective Note under FAS 140; provided that, in all cases, any such differences between this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not have a material adverse effect on any of the rights, remedies or protections granted to the Holders under this Agreement (without giving effect to any provision of this Agreement which states that a term shall have “the meaning assigned to such term in the Servicing Agreement,” or be “subject to the Servicing Agreement” or similar phrases),

   -27- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

(iii)             following the Lead Securitization Date, such Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be modified in any manner materially adverse to a Holder without the prior written consent of such Holder, and

(iv)             the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain terms and conditions as are set forth in Section 40(c) of this Agreement and such additional provisions 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 any Securitization Trust, (ii) required by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation or (iii) generally required by the Rating Agencies in connection with the issuance of ratings in securitizations similar to the Lead Securitization.

(c)                The Servicer shall distribute (or cause to be distributed) to the Holders all payments due to the Holders in accordance with Section 5 and Section 6 hereof; provided, however, that prior to calculating any amount of interest or principal due on such date to the Holders, the Servicer shall reduce the Note B Principal Balance (not below zero) by any Realized Loss with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and after the Note B Principal Balance has been reduced to zero, the Servicer shall reduce the Note A-1 Principal Balance, the Note A-2 Principal Balance and the Note A-3 Principal Balance, pro rata (based on their respective outstanding Principal Balances) (in each case, not below zero) by any Realized Loss with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

(d)               In consideration for servicing the Mortgage Loan (inclusive of each Note) a servicing fee shall accrue at a rate not to exceed the Servicing Fee Rate on the sum of the outstanding Note A Principal Balance and the outstanding Note B Principal Balance (the “Servicing Fee”). The Servicing Fee shall be paid on the same interest accrual basis and for the same period of time for which interest is paid on the Mortgage Loan, and shall be paid in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(e)                In consideration for special servicing the Mortgage Loan (inclusive of each Note) a special servicing fee shall accrue at a rate not to exceed the Special Servicing Fee Rate on the sum of the outstanding Note A Principal Balance and the outstanding Note B Principal Balance (the “Special Servicing Fee”). The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Special Servicer if the Mortgage Loan shall become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, for so long as the Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Subject to any liquidation set forth in the Lead Securitization Agreement, the Liquidation Fee shall be payable to the Special Servicer upon receipt of Liquidation Proceeds. For any period during which the provisions of Section 6 apply, any Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees shall be paid from funds available for distribution prior to the distribution of funds to the Holders in accordance with Section 6 (it being agreed that a Workout Fee and a Liquidation Fee shall not be payable with respect to the same payment or with respect to the same period of time, or otherwise simultaneously or duplicatively). The Holders acknowledge that pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Servicers may be entitled to receive Additional Servicing Compensation. To the extent any such Additional Servicing Compensation is actually received by a Servicer in

   -28- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

accordance with the Servicing Agreement, such Servicer shall be entitled to retain the same. In no event, however, shall any amounts relating to Additional Servicing Compensation that are not otherwise actually received by a Servicer (or its subservicer) be deducted from any distributions to any Holder pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6.

(f)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if each of the Lead Securitization Note and Note B cease to be an asset of the trust fund formed pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply in their entirety, and each Holder hereby agrees that the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced pursuant to this Agreement. In such event, all references herein to the “Servicing Agreement” and to “from and after the Lead Securitization Date” and any ancillary provisions relating thereto shall be deemed to be inoperative and of no further force and effect; provided that the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan under this Agreement shall be performed by a successor Master Servicer appointed by the Lead Note Holder and a successor Special Servicer shall be appointed by the Controlling Holder, both of which replacement Servicers shall be Qualified Servicers and shall be reasonably acceptable to each of the Holders. Any such entity acting as a successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the proviso of the preceding sentence will be required to perform such servicing in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the provisions of this Agreement.

(g)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Servicers are required to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(h)               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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (notice of which shall be given by the related Holder to the other Holders within three (3) Business Days of the “startup day”, within the meaning of Section 860(G)(a)(9) of the Code, of the related REMIC), then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that each Note qualifies at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Sections 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the 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 interests of the Holders therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Sections 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) the related Holder may not 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 related Holder 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 Stated Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes the related Note (or any portion of such Note). The Holders agree

   -29- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

that the provisions of this Section 4(h) shall be effected by compliance by the related Holder or its assignee with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or such Holder’s interest therein. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 4(h), 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 the Holders.

5.                  Payments Prior to an Event of Default. If no Event of Default shall have occurred and is then continuing, all amounts tendered by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or otherwise available for payment on the Mortgage Loan (including, without limitation, payments received in connection with any guaranty or indemnity agreement), whether received as a payment of the Monthly Payment Amount, Prepayments, Balloon Payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Penalty Charges, Cure Payments, 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 (other than any amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Mortgage Loan Documents and proceeds, awards or settlements to be applied to the restoration or repair of a Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or the Mortgage Loan Documents) shall be distributed by the Servicer, pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, to the A Notes and Note B on a pro rata and pari passu basis, based on the outstanding principal amount due under each such Note; provided that all amounts so applied shall first be applied to payments of interest on the A Notes and Note B (on a pro rata basis), then to payments of principal on the A Notes and Note B (on a pro rata, pari passu basis); provided, further, that with respect to all amounts collected by or on behalf of the Lead Securitization Trust in respect of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, such amounts shall be applied first (A) to pay the Note A Holders on a pro rata, pari passu basis among such A Notes until repaid in full, and then (B) to pay the Note B Holder in respect of Note B until repaid in full.

6.                  Payments Following an Event of Default.

(a)                If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all amounts collected by or on behalf of the Lead Securitization Trust in respect of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(i)                 first, to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee for any unreimbursed Nonrecoverable Property Advances or Nonrecoverable Administrative Advances relating to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property and interest thereon at the Advance Rate;

(ii)               second, to first reimburse the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the servicer of any other trust) for any unreimbursed Nonrecoverable P&I Advances on the A Notes and interest thereon at the Advance Rate, on a pro rata and pari passu

   -30- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

basis, then to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances on Note B and interest thereon at the Advance Rate;

(iii)             third, to reimburse or pay the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee for any unreimbursed Property Advances and Administrative Advances relating to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property plus interest accrued thereon at the Advance Rate and any Trust Fund Expenses (but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees relating to the Mortgage Loan);

(iv)           fourth, to pay to the Note A Holders accrued and unpaid interest on the A Notes (other than default interest) that was not included in the amount of Nonrecoverable P&I Advances on the A Notes reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) above, on a pro rata and pari passu basis;

(v)             fifth, to pay to the Master Servicer or the Trustee any interest accrued on P&I Advances on the A Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis;

(vi)           sixth, to pay to the Note B Holder accrued and unpaid interest on Note B (other than default interest) that was not included in the amount of Nonrecoverable P&I Advances on Note B reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) above;

(vii)         seventh, to pay to the Master Servicer or the Trustee any interest accrued on P&I Advances on Note B;

(viii)       eighth, to pay to the Note A Holders the Note A Principal Balance of the A Notes due and payable on a pro rata and pari passu basis;

(ix)           ninth, if the proceeds of any foreclosure sale or any liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property exceed the amounts required to be applied in accordance with the foregoing clauses (i)-(viii), to pay to the Note A Holders, an amount equal to the aggregate of unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to the A Notes in accordance with the terms of Section 4(c) or Section 7(a), on a pro rata and pari passu basis;

(x)             tenth, to pay to the Note B Holder the Note B Principal Balance due and payable;

(xi)           eleventh, to the Note B Holder, an amount equal to the aggregate of unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to Note B in accordance with the terms of Section 4(c) or Section 7(a);

   -31- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

(xii)         twelfth, to pay the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any amounts to be applied to the payment of, or escrowed for the future payment of, real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums and similar items;

(xiii)       thirteenth, to fund any other reserves to the extent then required to be held in escrow;

(xiv)        fourteenth, (A) to pay to the Note A Holders any Prepayment Premiums then due and payable in respect of any or all of the A Notes, on a pro rata and pari passu basis among such A Notes, and then (B) to pay to the Note B Holder any Prepayment Premiums then due and payable in respect of Note B;

(xvi)        sixteenth, to pay the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any Additional Servicing Compensation that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is entitled receive under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; and

(xvii)      seventeenth, if any excess amount is available to be distributed in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and not otherwise applied in accordance with the foregoing clauses (i)-(xvi), any remaining amount shall be paid pro rata to the Note Holders based on the initial principal balances of the Notes held by such Note Holders;

provided that it is being understood and agreed that the priority of payment set forth above is solely for purposes of allocating collections on the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property (net of any reimbursement or payment of Advances or Trust Fund Expenses relating to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property to the extent provided above) to each Note and that any amounts payable to or allocable to the Notes in respect of interest, principal, default interest and interest on P&I Advances will be subject to Section 1.3 and Section 3.4(c) of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and the other applicable provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and will not otherwise affect the reimbursement rights of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee thereunder.

If any Note (or portion thereof) has been defeased, the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 will apply only to the non-defeased Notes (or portions thereof). Any Note (or portion thereof) that has been defeased will be repaid solely from the proceeds of the related defeasance collateral.

(b)               Following any period during which the terms of this Section 6 are in effect, in the event that the Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan, or if the applicable Event of Default is no longer existing, or if the Mortgage Loan is restructured in connection with a workout such that the Mortgage Loan is no longer a Specially Serviced

   -32- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

Mortgaged Loan and, as restructured, is transferred back to the Servicer and the applicable Event of Default is no longer continuing, then the terms of Section 5 hereof shall again be in effect, subject, however, to the terms of Section 7 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as the Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the terms of this Section 6 shall continue to be in effect.

7.                  Workout.

(a)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and Section 20 and Section 21 of this Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, if any applicable 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 (or the Note A Interest Rate or Note B Interest Rate) is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on the Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred (other than due solely to an extension of the Maturity Date (that is not a forbearance) pursuant to an executed extension agreement between Lender and the Mortgage Loan Borrower, so long as no other modification under this Section 7 has occurred), or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to each Note A Holder pursuant to Section 5 and Section 6 shall be made as though such workout did not occur, with the payment terms of the A Notes remaining the same as they are on the Closing Date, and the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such workout shall be borne, first, by the Note B Holder (up to the Note B Principal Balance, together with accrued interest thereon at the Note B Interest Rate and any other amounts due the Note B Holder) and, second, pro rata by the Note A-1 Holder (up to the Note A-1 Principal Balance, together with accrued interest thereon at the Note A-1 Interest Rate, and any other amounts due to the Note A-1 Holder), the Note A-2 Holder (up to the Note A-2 Principal Balance, together with accrued interest thereon at the Note A-2 Interest Rate, and any other amounts due to the Note A-2 Holder) and the Note A-3 Holder (up to the Note A-3 Principal Balance, together with accrued interest thereon at the Note A-3 Interest Rate, and any other amounts due to the Note A-3 Holder). If the Mortgaged Property shall become an REO Property, the same shall be acquired, managed and operated in substantially the manner provided in the Servicing Agreement, and the priority of distributions among the Note A Holders and the Note B Holder shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms of Section 6 that would be applicable following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (whether or not the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents then remain in effect), with distributions on account of scheduled interest payments being deemed to be Assumed Monthly Payments (as such term shall be defined in the Servicing Agreement) for such purpose.

(b)               For purposes of determining the identity of the Controlling Holder (and not for any other purpose, including purposes of calculations set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 hereof), Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated first, to reduce the Note B Principal Balance, and then, to reduce the Note A-1 Principal Balance, the Note A-2 Principal Balance and the Note A-3 Principal Balance, pro rata. The Lead Note Holder (or the Special Servicer

   -33- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

on its behalf) shall notify the Holders in writing of any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated with respect to the Mortgage Loan and any allocation thereof to reduce the Principal Balance of any Note.

8.                  Collection Accounts; Payment Procedure.

(a)                Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Note Holder shall cause the Servicer to establish and maintain the Collection Account. Each of the Holders hereby directs the Servicer, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 and subject to the terms of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, (i) to deposit into the applicable Collection Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt all payments received with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (ii) to remit from the applicable Collection Account (x) for deposit or credit on the Remittance Date all payments received with respect to and allocable to each A Note and Note B, by wire transfer to accounts maintained by each Holder and designated to the Servicer in writing; and (y) for such other purposes and at such times as specified in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.

(b)               If any Servicer holding or having distributed any amount received or collected in respect of any Note 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 Holder, any Servicer or any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, such Servicer shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Holder of such Note, and such Holder, shall promptly on demand repay to such Servicer the portion thereof which shall have been theretofore distributed to the related Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Servicer shall have been required to pay to the Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Holders, any other Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto, and, if the amount in question had been advanced by the Servicer, then with interest thereon at the Advance Rate. 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 Servicer. The Servicer shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any 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 8 are separate and distinct obligations from one another, and in no event shall any Servicer be permitted or required under the Servicing Agreement to enforce the obligations of any Holder against the other Holders. The obligations of each Holder under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations and each Servicer shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of these provisions.

9.                  Advances; Default Interest; Penalty Charges.

(a)                Prior to the Lead Securitization Date, if the Lead Note Holder elects, in its reasonable good faith discretion and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, to make a Property Advance, the Lead Note Holder shall notify the other Holders promptly, which

   -34- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

notice shall set forth the amount of the additional funds required, the date such funds are required and a summary of the need for such advance. The other Holders shall be required to advance on or before the date specified in the related notice their respective Percentage Interest of such Property Advance. If any Holder fails or refuses to advance the foregoing share of such Property Advance, the Lead Note Holder shall have the right to advance the portion of such Property Advance not advanced by such other Holders. Repayment of any and all such Property Advances made by any Holder together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, if applicable, shall be paid to such Holder from the collections on the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the priority of payments provided in Section 6 hereof. To the extent that any such Property Advance made by any such Holder becomes a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, each Holder that did not make its Percentage Interest of such Property Advance shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Holder that made such advance, reimburse the Holder that made such advance for non-advancing Holder’s pro rata share of such Nonrecoverable Property Advance with interest thereon at the Advance Rate.

(b)               From and after the Lead Securitization Date, the Servicer and/or the Trustee may be obligated to make Property Advances and (to the extent that such Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, has determined that such Advance, together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) if made) the right of such party to reimbursement for any such Property Advances and interest thereon is prior to the rights of the Holders to receive any distributions or amounts recovered with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. 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 Nonrecoverable Property Advance or any related Advance Interest Amount, the Non-Lead A Note Holder (including any Securitization Trust into which the Non-Lead A 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 Property Advance or Advance Interest Amount.

(c)                If any party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or any Non-Lead Servicing Agreement makes a P&I Advance in respect of any Note, such P&I Advance and any interest accrued thereon shall be reimbursable to such advancing party solely as provided under the terms of this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or Non-Lead Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

10.              Limitation on Liability. Neither the Note A Holders nor any Servicer acting on its behalf shall have any liability to the Note B Holder with respect to Note B, 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 A Holder or the Servicer. The Note B Holder shall have no liability to any Note A Holder with respect to its respective A Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of the Note B Holder.

11.              Intentionally Omitted.

In addition, in response to the written request of the Directing Holder, the Lead Note Holder shall request that the officers of the Mortgage Loan Borrower and the accountants and other representatives of the Mortgage Loan Borrower arrange a meeting (either telephonic or in person) to discuss the business, financial and other condition of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Lead Note Holder shall be paid by the Controlling Holder.

(iii)             If the distribution to the Holders is less than the full amount that would be distributable to such Holders if there had been 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 Mortgage Loan;

(iv)             The principal balance and the Realized Losses relating to each of the Notes, after giving effect to the distribution of principal on such Remittance Date;

reasonably request, to the extent reasonably available to the Trustee, the Servicer or the related Special Servicer, such costs, to the extent not included in the regular fees and charges of the Servicer, shall be reimbursed by the requesting party.

From and after the occurrence of the Lead Securitization Date, the Servicer shall deliver such reports to the Holders as are provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement.

(c)                Financial Statements Etc.

(a)                It is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(b)               The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and the performance of, and compliance with, the terms of this Agreement by it, 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.

(e)                Immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Initial Note Holder was the sole legal owner and Holder of its related Note, free and clear of

   -37- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

any lien, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or other adverse interest in the Mortgage Loan, and the Initial Note Holder has the right to enter into this Agreement without the consent of any third party.

(f)                Initial Note Holder is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance of, and compliance with, the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local government or regulatory authority, which violation, in the Initial Note Holder’s good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of the Initial Note Holder to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of the Initial Note Holder.

(g)               No litigation is pending with regard to which the Initial Note Holder has received service of process or, to the best of the Initial Note Holder’s knowledge, threatened against the Initial Note Holder the outcome of which, in the Initial Note Holder’s good faith and reasonable judgment is likely to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Initial Note Holder to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(h)               The Initial Note Holder 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 transactions contemplated hereby.

(i)                 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 (including, with respect to any bulk sale laws), for the execution delivery and performance of or compliance by the Initial Note Holder with this Agreement or the consummation by the Initial Note Holder of any transaction contemplated hereby, other than (i) such consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications, registrations, filings or notices as have been obtained or made and (ii) where the lack of such consent, approval, authorization, qualification, registration, filing or notice would not have a material adverse effect on the performance by the Initial Note Holder under this Agreement.

14.              Intentionally Omitted.

15.              Independent Analyses of the Initial Note B Holder. Subject to the provisions of Section 13, the Initial Note B Holder acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Initial Note A Holder and based on such documents and information as such Holder has deemed appropriate, made such Holder’s own credit analysis and decision to originate Note B. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Initial Note B Holder hereby acknowledges that the other Holders have not made any representations or warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and that the other Holders shall have no 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 to the Initial Note A Holder 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

   -38- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

Mortgage Loan Documents or (iv) the financial condition of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Initial Note B Holder assumes all risk of loss in connection with Note B, for reasons other than the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement by the Initial Note A Holders or the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by any Servicer.

16.              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 arrangement between the Note A Holders and the Note B Holder a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to the other Holders the opportunity to purchase notes or participation interests relating to any future loans originated by such Holder or its respective Affiliates, and if such Holder chooses to offer to the other Holders the opportunity to purchase notes or any participation 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. No Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the other Holders any notes or participation interests in any future loans originated by the other Holder or its respective Affiliates.

17.              Not a Security. None of Note A-1, Note A-2, Note A-3 or Note B shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

18.              Transfer of Notes.

(a)                The Note B Holder shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, sell, hypothecate, contribute, encumber, participate, sub participate or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) more than a 49% interest (in one or more transactions) in Note B, without first receiving Rating Agency Confirmation (and the Note B Holder shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lead Note Holder, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Rating Agencies and all reasonable documented costs and expenses (including internal costs and expenses) of the Servicer incurred in connection with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation); provided that prior to the Lead Securitization, in connection with a proposed Transfer of more than a 49% interest (in one or more transactions) in Note B, in lieu of obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation, the Note B Holder shall obtain the prior written consent of the Lead Note Holder, which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the Lead Note Holder; and, provided, further, that the Note B Holder may at any time or from time to time Transfer all or any portion of Note B, without the requirement of any Rating Agency Confirmation, or prior to a Securitization, the written consent of the Lead Note Holder, but subject to the conditions contained in the third succeeding sentence, to a Qualified Institutional Lender that provides to each Note A Holder certification in writing from an authorized officer that it is a Qualified Institutional Lender; and provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Note B Holder Transfer Note B, or any portion thereof or interest therein to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party. Transfers of interests in Note B of 49% or less in the aggregate (in one or more transactions) shall not require prior consent or approval of each Note A Holder, any Servicer or

   -39- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

any other Person, or Rating Agency Confirmation from any Rating Agency, provided that any such Transfer shall be made in accordance with the conditions in the second succeeding sentence. Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall be required to present promptly to the Rating Agencies for the purpose of obtaining any Rating Agency Confirmation any application and material prepared by the applicable Note B Holder relating to a Transfer, but shall not be required to make a recommendation or prepare a case to the Rating Agencies in connection with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Note B Holder agrees that each Transfer to be made by it under clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 18 is subject to the following restrictions: (i) all such Transfers shall be made upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lead Note Holder, and (ii) a transferee shall (x) execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all or a ratable portion, as the case may be, of the obligations of the Note B Holder hereunder with respect to Note B from and after the date of such assignment (or, in the case of a pledge, collateral assignment or other encumbrance by the Note B Holder of Note B, solely as security for a loan to the Note B Holder, made by a third-party lender whereby the Note B Holder remains fully liable under this Agreement, such third party lender executes an agreement that such lender shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the obligations of the Note B Holder hereunder on and after the date on which such lender succeeds to the rights of the Note B Holder hereunder by foreclosure or otherwise) and (y) agree in writing to be bound by the Servicing Agreement, unless the Servicing Agreement is not then in effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan, in which event the parties will enter into or agree to be bound by any replacement servicing agreement therefor in accordance with the provisions of Section 4. Upon the consummation of a Transfer of all or any portion of Note B, the transferring Person shall be released from all liability arising under this Agreement with respect to Note B (or the portion thereof that was the subject of such Transfer), for the period after the effective date of such Transfer (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing release shall not apply in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in Note B as described in clause (b) below) and the transferee shall be the Note B Holder with respect to Note B for all purposes hereunder with all of the rights, interests and obligations related thereto. The foregoing provision of this Section 18(a) shall not apply to a Transfer of Note B to the Lead Securitization Trust.

(b)               In the case of any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in Note B, (i) the transferring Note B Holder’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the transferring Note B Holder shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Note Holder shall continue to deal solely and directly with the transferring Note B Holder in connection with its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if the Note B Holder had not sold such participation interest; provided, however, that if the applicable participant is a Qualified Institutional Lender but not the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party (and delivers to the Lead Note Holder a certification from an authorized officer confirming the foregoing status), then, the Note B Holder by written notice to the Lead Note Holder, may delegate to such participant the Note B Holder’s right to exercise the rights of the Controlling Holder hereunder

   -40- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

and under the Servicing Agreement; provided, further, however, that upon the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Event, the aforesaid delegation of rights shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

(c)                Each Note A Holder agrees that it shall not Transfer all or any portion of its respective A Note, except as follows: (i) to a Qualified Institutional Lender, (ii) to the Depositor, or any other Person designated by such Note A Holder to act as the depositor and/or any other Affiliate of such Note A Holder in connection with a Securitization or to the trustee in connection with a Securitization of the related A Note, (iii) to a purchaser upon a foreclosure, sale or other liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an REO Property, as expressly provided in the Servicing Agreement or (iv) as otherwise expressly provided or contemplated by the Servicing Agreement. In addition, each Note A Holder may split its respective A Note into multiple participations without the consent of the Note B Holder or any other Person (it being understood that no participant shall be entitled to amounts other than what is allocated to the related A Note hereunder had such Note A Holder not participated its related A Note). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each A Note may not be Transferred to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party without the prior written consent of the Note B Holder and, following the Lead Securitization Date, a Rating Agency Confirmation (it being understood that any costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such transfer following the Lead Securitization Date shall be borne by the related Note A Holder). Except with respect to the Transfer referred to in clause (ii) of the first sentence, any such Transfer shall be made upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Note B Holder.

(d)               No Note A Holder shall give its consent to any action (whether through marketing, advertising, public disclosure or otherwise) that would result in potential investors becoming aware of any proposed Non-Lead Securitization until (i) the establishment of the time of the contract of sale for each purchaser of certificates for the Lead Securitization or (ii) the Lead Note Holder gives its consent to such marketing, advertising, disclosure or other related activity.

(e)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Note B Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) Note B or any interest therein to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party) which has extended a credit facility to the Note B Holder or has entered into a repurchase agreement with the Note B Holder and that, in each case, 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 18(e), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to the Note B Holder or any Affiliate which controls the Note B Holder that is secured by the Note B Holder’s interest in Note B and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided all applicable terms and conditions of this Section 18 are complied with; provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to Note B after a Securitization without a Rating Agency Confirmation and no Note Pledgee may take title to

   -41- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

Note B without satisfying the requirements for transfer set forth in this Section 18. Upon written notice, if any, by the Note B Holder to the Lead Note Holder that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), the Lead Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give such Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the Note B Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Lead Note Holder has actual knowledge and which notice shall be given simultaneously with the giving of such notice to the Note B Holder; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the Note B Holder in respect of its obligations to 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 Note B 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 such Lead Note Holder shall accept any cure by such Note Pledgee of any default of the Note B Holder which the Note B Holder has the right to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by the Note B Holder; (v) that such Lead 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 Lead Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to such Note A Holder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the Note B Holder is in default beyond any applicable cure periods with respect to the Note B Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement or other agreements relating to the Pledge between the Note B Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the Note B 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 Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the Note B Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. The Note B Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the Lead Note Holder from any liability to the Note B Holder on account of such Lead Note Holder’s (or Servicer’s) compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by the Lead Note Holder in good faith to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the Note B Holder (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Lead Note Holder shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party) 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 Note B 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 Note B 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

   -42- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

18(e) shall remain effective as to the Lead Note Holder unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified the Lead Note Holder in writing that its interest in Note B has terminated.

19.              Other Business Activities of the Holders. Each of the Holders acknowledges that the other Holders may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower (“Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to the 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.

20.              Exercise of Remedies by the Servicer.

(a)                Each of the Holders acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation, the Controlling Holder’s rights under Section 21 hereof) and the Servicing Agreement, (i) the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer or Trustee (if any) on its behalf) may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights that such Lead Note Holder (or such Servicer or Trustee (if any)) may have hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the other Holders, so long as such actions are in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the other terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Lead Note Holder shall have no liability whatsoever to the other Holders as a result of such Lead Note Holder’s (or any Servicer’s or Trustee’s) exercise of such rights or any omission by such Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer or Trustee) to exercise such rights, except as expressly provided herein or for acts or omissions that are taken or omitted to be taken by such Lead Note Holder that constitute the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lead Note Holder or a breach of this Agreement, and (iii) the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) service and administer the Mortgage Loan on behalf of each Note A Holder and the Note B Holder (as a collective whole) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, taking into account the interests of each Note A Holder and the Note B Holder; but in all cases giving due consideration to the fact that Note B is subject and subordinate to each A Note in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Note A Holder and the Note B Holder agree that the Servicer, to the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 21) and after the Lead Securitization Date subject to and in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, shall have the sole and exclusive authority (in each case, subject to the Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation the rights of the Controlling Holder) 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 (i) to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) to consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, (iii) to 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 the Holders’ 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

   -43- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

accelerate or refrain from accelerating the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action and in all cases acting in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the other Holders shall have no voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Lead Note Holder’s or Servicer’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Each Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Note Holder and the Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights, if any, that such Holder has (i) to declare or cause the Lead Note Holder or the Servicer to declare an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan (ii) to exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Note Holder or the Servicer to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (iii) to vote any claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar type of proceeding of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Holder shall, from time to time, execute such documents as the Lead Note Holder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall reasonably request to evidence such assignment with respect to the rights described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence. Except when acting in the capacity of trustee or paying agent, the Lead Note Holder shall not have any fiduciary duty to the other Holders in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan but shall in all events be obligated to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Each Holder expressly and irrevocably waives for itself and any Person claiming through or under such Holder any and all rights that it may have under Section 1315 of the New York Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law or the provisions of any similar law that purports to give a junior noteholder, mortgagee or loan participant the right to initiate any loan enforcement or foreclosure proceedings.

(b)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) of its rights under this Section 20 shall be subject in all respects to any sections of the Servicing Agreement governing REMIC administration, and in no event shall the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action which would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Mortgage Loan Documents, be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement or cause the arrangement evidenced hereby not to be treated as a “grantor trust” for Federal income tax purposes. The Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) shall exercise such rights and powers described in this Section 20 on the understanding that the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) shall administer the Mortgage Loan in a manner consistent with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, provided that neither the Lead Note Holder nor any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf shall be liable to the other Holders with respect to anything the Lead Note Holder or such Servicer or the Trustee (if any) may do or omit to do in relation to the Mortgage Loan, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lead Note Holder and any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf may rely on the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other experts (including those retained by the Mortgage Loan Borrower) and

   -44- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

upon any written communication or telephone conversation which the Lead Note Holder or such Servicer or the Trustee (if any) believes to be genuine and correct or to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.

(c)                If title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired for the benefit of the Holders 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 the Lead Note Holder or its nominee (which shall not include any Servicer) on behalf of the Holders. The applicable Servicer, on behalf of the Holders, shall dispose of any REO Property utilizing reasonable best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to maximize the proceeds of such disposal to the Holders (as a collective whole) if and when such Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such disposal would be in the best economic interest of the Holders (as a collective whole). The applicable Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Holders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(d)               The applicable 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 as are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement, all on such terms and for such period as such Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Holders (as a collective whole) and, in connection therewith, such Servicer shall only agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards or to terms that are more favorable to the Holders. The applicable Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) 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”). The applicable Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account within one Business Day after receipt all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property (other than Liquidation Proceeds, which shall be remitted to the Collection Account), and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Costs with respect to such REO Property, including:

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

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

(iii)             all ground rents in respect of any REO Property (if applicable);

(iv)             all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property; and

   -45- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

(v)               to the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above and the applicable Servicer has provided written notice of such shortfall to the Holders of the necessity to take actions pursuant to this subsection (d), any expenditure associated with such actions taken by the applicable Servicer shall be payable by the Holders at their option pursuant to Section 9.

(e)                The applicable Servicer shall contract with an independent contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Holders and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of any REO Property, within forty-five (45) days after the Holders’ acquisition thereof (unless the Holders approve otherwise), provided that:

(i)                 the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be reasonable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement 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 applicable Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the receipt thereof by such independent contractor;

(iii)             none of the provisions of this subsection (e) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such independent contractor shall be deemed to relieve the applicable Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Holders or the Lead Note Holder on behalf of the Holders with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(iv)             the applicable 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.

(f)                The applicable 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 such Servicer by such independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. When and as necessary, the applicable Servicer shall send to the Holders a statement prepared by the applicable 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 in respect of, any REO Property.

(g)               With respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property which the applicable Servicer has determined to sell in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the applicable Servicer shall deliver to the Holders an officers’ certificate to the effect

   -46- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

that, the applicable Servicer has determined to sell such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with this subsection (g). The applicable Servicer may then offer to sell to any Person the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan which is in Default or the REO Property (and shall on a monthly basis advise the Holders in writing of the status of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property) or, subject to the following sentence, purchase any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property (in each case at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price), but shall, in any event, so offer to sell any REO Property no later than the time determined by the applicable Servicer to be sufficient to result in the sale of such REO Property within the period specified in the REMIC Provisions. The applicable Servicer shall deliver such officers’ certificate and give the Holders not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, in which case the applicable Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price therefor, purchase the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price.

(h)               In the absence of any such offer at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, or purchase by the applicable Servicer at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, such Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by such Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property; provided that the Lead Note Holder (or the applicable Servicer, if the applicable Servicer or any Affiliate of the applicable Servicer is not an offeror) shall be entitled to engage, at the expense of the Holders, an Appraiser to determine whether the highest offer is a fair price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Mortgage Loan Borrower nor any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party may make an offer or purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Property pursuant hereto.

(i)                 The applicable Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the applicable Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders as a collective whole. In addition, the applicable Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders as a collective whole (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 applicable Servicer or an Affiliate of the applicable Servicer. The applicable Servicer shall in no event sell the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the REO Property other than for cash.

(j)                 Subject to the other provisions of this Section 20, the applicable Servicer shall act on behalf of the Holders in negotiating and taking other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, including

   -47- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, any Servicer or any Holder, and, if such sale is consummated in accordance with the duties of the applicable Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, no such Person who so performed shall have any liability to any Holders with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the applicable Servicer.

(k)               The proceeds of any sale of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property after deduction of the direct out-of-pocket expenses of such sale incurred in connection therewith shall be promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day following receipt thereof, deposited in the Collection Account. Within thirty (30) days after the sale of the REO Property, the applicable Servicer shall provide to the Holders a statement of accounting for such REO Property, including without limitation, (i) the date of disposition of the REO Property, (ii) the gross sales price, the selling and other expenses and the net sales price, (iii) accrued interest on the Note A Principal Balance at the applicable Note A Interest Rate, and on the Note B Principal Balance at the applicable Note B Interest Rate calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (iv) such other information as the Holders may reasonably request. The applicable Servicer shall file information returns regarding the abandonment or foreclosure of a Mortgaged Property with the Internal Revenue Service at the time and in the manner required by the Code.

(l)                 The provisions of subsections (c) through (k) of this Section 20 shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall control.

21.              Certain Powers of the Controlling Holder. The following provisions shall apply during the term of this Agreement:

(a)                The Controlling Holder shall be entitled to appoint (or act as) a “directing lender” (the “Directing Holder”) with respect to the Mortgage Loan and to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Directing Holder and the Controlling Holder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement (such designation to be made by written notice to the Lead Note Holder); provided that if the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party owns any portion of Note B, the ownership interests of such Person shall be deemed to equal zero for the purposes of determining which owners can vote to elect the Directing Holder; and provided, further, that in no event may the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party serve as the Directing Holder. Such designation shall remain in effect until it is revoked by the Controlling Holder by a writing delivered to each of the other parties hereto.

(b)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to Section 21(d)), the Lead Note Holder shall, prior to taking any Major Decision, be required to notify in writing the Directing Holder of any proposal to take any of such actions (and to provide the Directing Holder with such information requested by such Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of such Directing Holder in order to make a judgment)

   -48- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

and to receive the written approval of the Directing Holder (which approval may be withheld in its sole discretion);

(c)                If the Directing Holder fails to notify the Lead Note Holder of its approval or disapproval of any such Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to the Directing Holder by the Lead Note Holder of written notice (“Action Notice”) of such a Major Decision together with any information requested by the Directing Holder pursuant to this Section 21(b) or Section 21(c), then if the Directing Holder fails to approve or reject the Major Decision within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Directing Holder’s approval will be deemed to have been given for such Major Decision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts funded by any Holder under the Mortgage Loan Documents as a result of (1) the making of any protective Advances or (2) interest accruals or accretions and any compounding thereof (including default interest) with respect to the Notes shall not at any time be deemed to require prior notice to the Directing Holder (except as otherwise expressly required by this Agreement) or otherwise contravene this subsection. To the extent the Mortgage Loan Borrower requests or the Servicer or Special Servicer structures, as part of a workout or otherwise, an extension of the Mortgage Loan for two or more years beyond the Maturity Date, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain the prior written consent of the Lead Note Holder (in the same manner as the Directing Holder) in addition to the consent of the Directing Holder. The provisions of Section 21(c) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall control.

(d)               With respect to any proposed action requiring consultation with or approval of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 21(b), the Lead Note Holder shall prepare a summary of such proposed action and an analysis of whether or not such action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth the basis on which the Lead Note Holder made such determination, and shall promptly provide to each Holder copies of such summary and any other material documents and items reasonably necessary to make such determination by hard copy or electronic means on a timely basis. If any such proposed action is disapproved by the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall propose an alternate action (based on any counter-proposals received from the Directing Holder, to the extent such counter-proposal is consistent with Section 21(d) or, if no such counter-proposal is received by the Servicer when the disapproval of the Directing Holder is delivered to the Servicer, then based on any alternate course of action that the Lead Note Holder may deem appropriate) until the approval of the Directing Holder is obtained; provided that if the Servicer and Directing Holder do not agree on a proposed course of action within sixty (60) days after the date on which the Servicer first proposed a course of action and the counter-proposals received from the Directing Holder would, in the judgment of the Special Servicer, be permitted to be ignored by the Special Servicer in accordance with clause (d) below), then after giving due consideration (subject to Section 21(d) hereof) to the alternatives and counterproposals, if any, provided by the Directing Holder the Lead Note Holder shall take such action as it deems appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (i) the Lead Note Holder determines that emergency action is necessary to protect a Mortgaged Property or

   -49- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole) at a time earlier than the time that such Servicer would otherwise be entitled to take such action pursuant to this Section 21(c) or otherwise under this Agreement and (ii) such action requires consultation with and/or consent of the Directing Holder, then it shall contact the Directing Holder (by telephone, email or fax) promptly and shall discuss (unless the Directing Holder shall fail to respond in a reasonable time frame under the circumstances) the proposed action with such Directing Holder and, if the consent of the Directing Holder would ordinarily be required, attempt to reach agreement within the revised time frame prior to taking the proposed action, but shall be entitled to take the necessary emergency action within the necessary time frame regardless of whether it has been able to contact or obtained the agreement of the Directing Holder. If such emergency action is taken, the Lead Note Holder will promptly notify the Directing Holder of the action so taken, the Servicer’s reasons for determining that immediate action was necessary and how the action differs from the proposed actions, if any, that had theretofore been approved by the Directing Holder. The provisions of Section 21(d) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall control.

(e)                Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction or objection from or by the Directing Holder, as contemplated by this Section 21, or no advice, direction or objection, if any, from or by any Non-Controlling Holder, may (and the related Holder shall ignore and act without regard to any such advice, direction or objection that such Holder (or Servicer on its behalf) has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would): (A) require or cause such Holder to violate applicable law, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or any section of this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement, including such Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (B) result in the imposition of federal income tax on any Securitization Trust, cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, (C) expose any Securitization Trust, any certificateholder of any related Securitization, the Depositor or the depositor of any Non-Lead Securitization, the Holders, the Servicer, the Trustee or the trustee of any Non-Lead Securitization, the Certificate Administrator or any certificate administrator of any Non-Lead Securitization, the Operating Advisor or the operating advisor of any Non-Lead Securitization or their respective Affiliates, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or agents, to any material claim, suit or liability or (D) materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement.

(f)                No Controlling Holder or Directing Holder shall owe any fiduciary duty to the Trustee, any Servicer, any Special Servicer, any certificateholder in any Securitization, or the other Holders. No Controlling Holder or Directing Holder shall have any liability to any the Trustee, any Servicer, any Special Servicer, any certificateholder in any Securitization or the other Holders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or for errors in judgment. By its acceptance of a Note in the Mortgage Loan, each Holder shall be deemed to have confirmed its understanding that (i) a Directing Holder may take or refrain from taking actions that favor the interests of the related Controlling Holder or its affiliates over the other Holder, (ii) a Controlling Holder may take or refrain from

   -50- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

taking actions (or cause the related Directing Holder to take or refrain from taking actions) that favor its interest or the interests of its affiliates over the other Holder, (iii) that a Controlling Holder or Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interest of the other Holder and shall be deemed to have agreed to take no action against a Controlling Holder, a Directing Holder or any of their officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such a special relationships or conflicts, (iv) that no Controlling Holder shall be liable by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting solely in its interest or in the interest of its affiliates, and (v) that no Directing Holder shall be liable by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting solely in the interests of the related Controlling Holder or its affiliates.

(g)               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 replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any such replacement Special Servicer shall be a Qualified Servicer in accordance with this Section 21(g). The Directing Holder shall designate a Person to serve as Special Servicer by delivering to the Non-Controlling Holders, the Servicer and the then existing Special Servicer a written notice stating such designation and by satisfying the other conditions required under the Servicing Agreement (including a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Servicing Agreement), and by delivering to any Holder that is a Non-Lead Securitization a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any rated securities issued in such Non-Lead Securitization. The Directing Holder shall promptly pay any expenses incurred by the Lead Note Holder in connection with such replacement. The Directing 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 21(g). The fees payable to any replacement Special Servicer contemplated in this Section 21(g) at any time, following the Lead Securitization, when the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement is no longer in effect, shall be at then market rates for such services. Upon the occurrence of the Lead Securitization governing the servicing of the Mortgage Loan, the initial Special Servicer designated in the applicable Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects the Non-Controlling Holder, the Non-Controlling Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization, the Controlling Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. The Controlling Holder and the Non-Controlling 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 Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling Holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Controlling Holder agrees and acknowledges that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain provisions such that the Special Servicer could be terminated under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement based on a

   -51- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

recommendation by the Operating Advisor if (A) the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the Special Servicer has failed to comply with Accepted Servicing Practices and (2) a replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the holders of certificates issued under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as a collective whole) and (B) an affirmative vote of requisite certificate holders is obtained. The Controlling Holder will retain its right to remove and replace the Special Servicer, but the Controlling Holder may not restore a Special Servicer that has been removed in accordance with the preceding sentence.

(h)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Note B Holder of notice indicating that the Note B Holder is no longer the Controlling Holder, the Note B Holder may, at its option, post with the Lead Note Holder (a) cash collateral for the benefit of, and reasonably acceptable to the Lead Note Holder or (b) a Letter of Credit (in each case, if there has been a Securitization, together with documentation reasonably acceptable to the Lead Note Holder to create and perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Securitization in such collateral) (to be held by the Lead Note Holder in a segregated securities account solely and exclusively in the name of each Note A Holder, meeting the Rating Agency criteria for an “eligible account” on behalf of each Note A Holder) in an amount which, when added to and for this purpose considered a part of the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, will cause the Note B Holder to remain the Controlling Holder (such cash or Letter of Credit, “Reserve Collateral”). The Note B Holder may make such election upon written notice to the Lead Note Holder of its intention to post Reserve Collateral, and upon notifying the Lead Note Holder of such intention, the Note B Holder shall post such Reserve Collateral as quickly as practicable (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days following the receipt of the above notice) by delivering such Reserve Collateral to the Lead Note Holder. The Note B Holder shall grant to and create in favor of each Note A Holder a first priority perfected pledge and security interest in the Reserve Collateral in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Note Holder. The Note B Holder shall provide an opinion to the Lead Note Holder, in form and substance and from counsel reasonably acceptable to the Lead Note Holder, regarding the validity, perfection and priority of each Note A Holder’s interest in any Reserve Collateral. In addition, the Note B Holder shall pay or cause to be paid any and all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by each Note A Holder (and any servicing party on its behalf) associated with the delivery and/or pledge of such Reserve Collateral, including the costs and expenses of any opinion of counsel. Upon the posting of such Reserve Collateral and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth above, the Note B Holder may exercise all of the rights of the Controlling Holder hereunder; provided, however, that such posting of such collateral and such satisfaction of conditions will not prevent the Note B Holder from losing its status as the Controlling Holder again (provided that such collateral shall be taken into account in determining the Mortgaged Properties’ value when calculating whether the Note B Holder is the Controlling Holder), in which event the foregoing provisions of this paragraph will not again apply and the Note B Holder may not again post Reserve Collateral. Any Reserve Collateral must be treated as an “outside reserve fund” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and such property (and the right to reimbursement of any amounts with respect thereto from a REMIC) will be beneficially

   -52- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

owned by the Note B Holder, who will be taxed on all income with respect thereto. The provisions of Section 21(h) will be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.

(i)                 Following a Final Recovery Determination with respect to the Mortgage Loan and application of all proceeds of the liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, a Mortgaged Property or any REO Property, the Lead Note Holder may draw on or liquidate the Reserve Collateral and apply the proceeds thereof to reimburse each Note A Holder for any Trust Fund Expense or Realized Loss borne or experienced by each Note A Holder, plus interest thereon from the date such Trust Fund Expenses or Realized Loss was borne or experienced to the date of reimbursement. Within ten (10) Business Days following such Final Recovery Determination and application, the Lead Note Holder shall pay any remaining portion of such proceeds of the Reserve Collateral to the Note B Holder. The provisions of Section 21(i) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.

(j)                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Letter of Credit is posted as Reserve Collateral, then Note B Holder shall provide a replacement Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank in form and substance satisfactory to the Lead Note Holder and each of such Rating Agencies (i) at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the expiration of the delivered Letter of Credit, and (ii) if the issuer of such Letter of Credit is at any time not an Approved Bank, within five (5) Business Days following written notice from the Lead Note Holder to such effect. If the Note B Holder does not effect such a replacement within the periods set forth in the preceding sentence, the Lead Note Holder shall be entitled immediately thereupon to draw on such Letter of Credit to the full extent of the amount then remaining available thereunder, in which case the Lead Note Holder shall hold the proceeds of such draw as Reserve Collateral and may hold and apply such Reserve Collateral in the manner and for the purposes otherwise set forth above and below. The provisions of Section 21(j) will be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.

22.              Further Assurances. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that each Holder may sell all or any portion of its respective Note, subject to the rights of the other Holders and the terms of this Agreement, and the related Mortgage Loan Documents in connection with the related Securitization. At the request and at the sole cost and expense of a requesting Holder, and to the extent not already required to be provided by the other Holders under this Agreement, each Holder shall reasonably cooperate with such requesting Holder and take such steps as may be reasonably required by such requesting Holder or any Rating Agency in order to satisfy the market standards to which the requesting Holder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by the Rating Agencies in connection with the related Securitization. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, each Holder’s agreement to:

(a)                execute such amendments to this Agreement as may be requested by the requesting Holder or the Rating Agencies to effect the related Securitization, provided that no such amendments shall materially and adversely affect any of the rights or remedies granted to the Note B Holder hereunder (including, without limitation, the timing and amount of payment

   -53- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

and the rights granted to a “Controlling Holder” or “Directing Holder”) or increase the obligations of such Holder hereunder;

(b)               cooperate with the reasonable requests from third-party service providers engaged by the requesting Holder to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by such Note A Holder or the Rating Agencies in connection with the Holders, the Notes or the Mortgage Loan; and

(c)                execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents to further sever the Notes.

No Holder shall take any action or refrain from taking any action that would violate any law of any applicable jurisdiction, would be inconsistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices or would violate the REMIC Provisions of the Servicing Agreement or any other provision of this Agreement.

23.              Intentionally Omitted.

24.              No Pledge or Loan. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by the Note A Holders to the Note B Holder, or a loan from the Note B Holder to the Note A Holders. The Note B Holder shall not have any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds thereof shall be applied in respect of payments due under the Mortgage Loan, then the Note B Holder shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement. The Holders acknowledge and agree that the Mortgage Loan represents a single “claim” under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and that the Note B Holder shall not be a separate creditor of the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code.

25.              Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RESPECTIVE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE. 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.

26.              Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. The party seeking modification of this Agreement shall be solely responsible for any and all reasonable expenses that may arise in order to modify this Agreement. Additionally, from and after a Securitization, the Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first receiving (i) an opinion of counsel experienced in REMIC matters that such amendment or modification, in and of itself, would not adversely affect the REMIC status of the Mortgage Loan or this Agreement, and (ii) a Rating

   -54- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

Agency Confirmation, except that no Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required in connection with a modification (x) prior to the Lead Securitization Date, (y) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Servicing Agreement, or (z) 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, and (iii) if such modification, cancellation or termination would adversely affect the rights or materially affect the duties of any Servicer or Trustee, the written consent of such affected party.

27.              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; provided that no successors or assigns of any Initial Note A Holder shall have any liability for a breach of representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement (including Exhibit C). Each Servicer and Trustee (if any) is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 8 and the preceding sentence, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto or a successor or assign of a party hereto.

28.              Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

29.              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.

30.              Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) telephone (confirmed in writing) or shall be in writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (iv) 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 or, if mailed, upon the earlier to occur of receipt or the expiration of the fourth (4^th) day following the date of mailing.

31.              Note Holder’s Access to Information. The Lead Note Holder shall provide to the other Holders and, after the Lead Securitization Date, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that such other Holders shall have access to, upon written request to the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subject to any restrictions on the distribution of such information contained in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (a) a summary of the current status of principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan, (b) copies of the Mortgage Loan Borrower’s current financial statements, to the extent in the Servicer’s possession, (c) the most recent appraisal, if any, as to the value of the Mortgaged Property, to

   -55- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester)

32.              Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than Note A-2 and Note A-3) will be held by the Lead Note Holder on behalf of each of the other Holders, or, following the Lead Securitization Date, shall be held by the Servicer, Trustee or custodian on its behalf, or other applicable Person under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

33.              Statement of Intent. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income, this Agreement shall be treated as a grantor trust. The terms of this Agreement shall be interpreted to further this intention of the parties. The parties hereto agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Lead Note Holder shall file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with such intended characterization. Each other Holders, by its acceptance of its interest herein, agrees, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, to file its own tax returns and reports in a manner consistent with such characterization. If the Internal Revenue Service were to characterize this Agreement as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, then each such other Holders authorizes and directs the Lead Note Holder to elect out of partnership accounting pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.761-2, and agrees to file its own tax returns and reports in a manner consistent therewith.

34.              Powers. Except as expressly provided herein, the grantor trust created pursuant to this Agreement will not engage in any activity that is inconsistent with the classification of this arrangement as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. Further, this grantor trust shall not (a) acquire any additional assets or (b) modify (or agree to the modification of) or dispose of its assets other than pursuant to the terms hereof. The grantor trust shall take no action (or fail to take any action) that will cause it to be classified as other than a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes.

35.              Servicing of the Loan. Pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer (whose identity may change from time to time as provided in this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement) will be appointed as the servicer of the

   -56- Co-Lender Agreement
(Westchester) 

Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Special Servicer will be appointed as the special servicer of the Mortgage Loan. The parties agree that the Servicers shall service the Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Holders. Prior to the Lead Securitization Date, the Lead Note Holder shall have the right to appoint and remove the Interim Servicer with or without cause under this Agreement and from and after the Lead Securitization Date, the Lead Note Holder shall have the right to appoint and remove the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Note Holder has appointed KeyBank National Association to serve as the initial Interim Servicer. All rights and obligations of the Lead Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer (except as set forth in the preceding sentence) and, to the extent applicable, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the paying agent on behalf of the Lead Note Holder and the other Holders agree to cooperate with any such Persons with respect to its exercise of such rights and obligations.

36.              Registration of Transfers. The Lead Note Holder shall maintain a register on which it shall record the names and addresses of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Holders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to it by any other Holders. Any transfer of a Note hereunder shall be recorded on such register. The transferring Holder (or the transferee) shall reimburse the Lead Note Holder for the Lead Note Holder’s reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the terms of this Section 36.

37.              Non-Recourse Obligations of the Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or the Servicing Agreement (but subject to Section 10 and Section 40 hereof), no Holder shall be personally liable hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement other than to the extent of cash, property or other value realized or derived from its Note either (i) prior to its disbursement and receipt by the Holder or (ii) after its receipt by the Holder under the circumstances and to the extent provided under Section 8(b) hereof.

38.              Termination. This Agreement and the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the parties hereto shall terminate upon (a) mutual agreement by the parties hereto, evidenced in writing; (b) thirty (30) days after each of the Notes is paid in full; or (c) payment (or provision for payment) to the Holders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Servicer and required under the Servicing Agreement, to be so paid on the last Remittance Date following final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Properties; provided, however, that in no event shall the arrangement created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

39.              Withholding Taxes.

(a)                If the Lead Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower is required by law to deduct and withhold taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to the other Holders with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Holder constituting a Non-Exempt

   -57- Co-Lender Agreement

Person, the Servicer may do so with respect to such Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Holder), provided that the Servicer shall furnish such 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 Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Holder is subject to tax.

(b)               Each Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) against and hold the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) harmless from and against any taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to withhold taxes from payment made to such Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Holder to the Lead Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to withhold taxes from payments made to such Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Note Holder may accept and rely on any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects 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 Holder shall, upon request of the Lead Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Note Holder.

(c)                Each Holder represents to the Lead Note Holder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead 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 Holder shall deliver to the Lead Note Holder evidence satisfactory to the Lead Note Holder substantiating that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead 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, (a) if a 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 Note Holder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (b) if a 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 Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Note Holder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN, as applicable, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Holder, as evidence of such Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Note Holder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to each other Holder in respect of its Note or

(Westchester) 

otherwise until such Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Note Holder the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

(a)                In connection with the Lead Securitization or any Non-Lead Securitization, Note B Holder hereby consents to the inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the Lead Securitization or such Non-Lead Securitization of the identity of the Note B Holder and the identification of other Persons that control Note B (other than the identification of its limited partners or other non-controlling investors). The Note B Holder covenants and agrees that in the event any A Note is to be included as an asset of the Lead Securitization or any Non-Lead Securitization, the Note B Holder shall, at the related Initial Note A Holder’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements reasonably incurred by the Note B Holder) and request, (i) meet with representatives of the Rating Agencies to discuss the business and operations of the Note B Holder, (ii) cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and such Initial Note A Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization or such Non-Lead Securitization, as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and (iii) review and respond promptly with respect to any information (except as permitted above) relating to the Note B Holder in the Lead Securitization or such Non-Lead Securitization document.

(b)               Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as Column or any affiliate of Column (an “Initial Holder”) is the owner of an A Note (each, an “Owned Note”), such Initial 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 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 New 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 Holder holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead 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 Accepted Servicing Practices. If the Lead Note Holder so requests, the Initial 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. 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 applicable Initial Holder, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan

(ii)               if the Master Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance or Property Advance, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance or Property Advance previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a “nonrecoverable advance,” the Master Servicer shall provide the servicers under any Non-Lead Servicing Agreement written notice of such determination within two Business Days after such determination was made;

(iii)             the Master Servicer shall remit all payments received during the related Collection Period with respect to Note A-2 and Note A-3, net of the Servicing Fee payable with respect to each such Note, and any other applicable fees and reimbursements payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, to the Holders of such Notes on or prior to the Remittance Date;

(iv)             on a monthly basis, with respect to each other Note that is held by a Non-Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall make available CREFC^® Reports (except the CREFC^® Bond Level File, the CREFC^® Collateral Summary File, the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File, the CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Report and the CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheet) available pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;

(vi)             the servicing duties of each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall include the duty to service the Mortgage Loan and all of the Notes on behalf of the Holders (including the respective trustees and certificateholders) in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and Accepted Servicing Practices;

(vii)           each of the Holder of Note A-2 and the Holder of Note A-3 shall be entitled to the same indemnity with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Lead Note Holder and Note B is provided with respect to the Mortgage Loan under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; the Master Servicer, any primary servicer, the Special Servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator and operating advisor shall be required to indemnify each “certification party” and the depositors under each Non-Lead Servicing Agreement related to any public Non-Lead Securitization to the same extent that they indemnify the Lead Securitization “certification party” and depositor for their failure to deliver the items in clause (viii) below in a timely manner and for any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or any similar term thereto) regarding, and delivered by or on behalf of, such party;

(x)               with respect to each Non-Lead Note, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the related Collection Account and remit to the related Holders of such Notes (or, if securitized, the related master servicer of any applicable Non-Lead Securitization), within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds, any amounts that represent late collections on such Note (exclusive of any portion of such amount payable or reimbursable to any third party in accordance with this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), unless such amount would otherwise be included in the monthly remittance to the Holder of such Note for such month, provided, however, 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 late collections to the Holder of such Note or to the master servicer of any applicable Non-Lead Securitization, as applicable, 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;

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for Advance 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. 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 Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or any Advance Interest on a Servicing Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the 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 Servicing Advance or Advance Interest.

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 Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, and any Non-Lead Master Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, shall be required to notify the other of the amount of its P&I Advance within two Business Days of making such advance.

-16- 

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 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 its original 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 Note, and the obligations of any other Note Holder to execute and deliver

-21- 

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 a representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or a 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 the 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 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its related 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 expiration of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and

(ii) to consult with the 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 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

-22- 

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 the 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 the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

In addition to the consultation rights of the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) provided for above, the Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, in the discretion of the Master Servicer) 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.

(c)       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.

In the event that one of the Notes is included in a REMIC, 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

-23- 

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.

(d)       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.

Section 6. Rights of the Controlling Note Holder; Rights of the Non-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 (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 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 the

-24- 

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, Operating Advisor or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Note Holder Representative. So long as a Control Termination Event is not 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.

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 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.

(b)       The 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”). For the purposes of this Section 6(b), 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 of the first paragraph thereof) shall be deemed to apply to the Non-Controlling Note Holder and the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative, respectively.

-25- 

For so long as the Note A-1 Holder is the Controlling Note Holder and Note A-2 is included in the Note A-2 Securitization, the “Directing Certificateholder” or other designated party under the Note A-2 PSA shall be the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative.

The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be required at any time to deal with more than one party exercising the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” herein or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and, (x) to the extent that the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement assigns such rights to more than one party or (y) to the extent any of Note A-2 is split into two or more New Notes pursuant to Section 32, for purposes of this Agreement, the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or the holders of such New Notes shall designate one party to deal with Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) and provide written notice of such designation to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer acting on its behalf); provided that, in the absence of such designation and notice, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be entitled to treat the last party as to which it has received written notice as having been designated as the Non-Controlling Note Holder, as the Non-Controlling Note Holder for all purposes of this Agreement. As of the date hereof and until further notice from the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Non-Lead Master Servicer or another party acting on its behalf), the Initial Note A-2 Holder is the Non-Controlling Note Holder.

No objection, direction, consent, advice or consultation contemplated by the preceding and following 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.

(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 Directing Ceritificateholder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the other mortgage loans included in the Lead Securitization, including 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 Directing Ceritificateholder 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.

(d)       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

-26- 

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 Holder, and that 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 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 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.

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, 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 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, 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 the 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 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. The 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 Companion Distribution Account.

-27- 

Section 8. Payment Procedure.

(a)       The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Collection Account or Collection Accounts, as applicable. Each of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder hereby directs the Master Servicer, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 hereof, and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (i) to deposit into the applicable Collection Account within the time period specified in the Lead Securitization 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 Business Day following the Determination Date under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (so long as the date on which the remittance is required is at least one (1) Business Day after the related due date for the Mortgage Loan) all payments received with respect to and allocable to Note A-1 and Note A-2 by wire transfer to accounts maintained by the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder respectively; 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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 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 the 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due

-28- 

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. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement governing Servicer liability, 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 gross 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 manner that may be adverse to the interests of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to the 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 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 the 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, the 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

-29- 

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 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 the 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 the 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. The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no 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

-30- 

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, participate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose (either (i) directly or (ii) indirectly through entering into a derivatives contract or any other similar agreement, excluding a repo financing or a Pledge in accordance with Section 14(d)) of a 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 as to which 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 the 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 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 the 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 any other Note Holder, the Rating Agencies 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 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 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

-31- 

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, 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

-32- 

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:

(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

-33- 

(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 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.

-34-

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 receiving a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment or modification will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of its then current ratings of the securities issued in connection with a Securitization; provided

-35- 

that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies 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) that addresses the creation of New Notes in accordance with Section 32 hereof.

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, Operating Advisor, Master Servicer and Special Servicer, and any Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer and 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.

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 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 the 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

-36- 

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.

(a)       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.

(b)       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) or Form W-8BEN, 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 the Non-Lead

-37- 

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 any Notes not held by the Initial Agent) shall be held by the Initial Agent on behalf of the registered holders of each of the Notes. On and after the Lead Securitization Date, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Non-Lead Securitization Note) shall be held in the name of the Lead Securitization Trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor), in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. On and after the Non-Lead Securitization Date, the Non-Lead Securitization Note shall be held in the name of the Non-Lead Trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor) on behalf of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder.

Section 26. 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 the Lead Securitization and subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, at the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the Lead Securitization Note Holder customarily adheres or that may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Lead Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization 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 the Lead Securitization; provided, however, that in connection with the Lead Securitization, no Non-Lead Securitization 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-Lead Securitization Note Holder or (ii) materially increase such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations or materially decrease such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s rights, remedies or protections. The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable the Lead Securitization Note Holder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and the Lead 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-Lead Securitization Note Holder and its Non-Lead Securitization Note in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that the information provided by it

-38- 

to the Lead Securitization Note Holder may be or has been incorporated into the offering documents for the Lead Securitization. The Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, any Note Holder. The Lead Securitization Note Holder, at the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s sole cost and expense, will reasonably cooperate with the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder by providing all information reasonably requested that is in the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s possession in connection with such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s preparation of disclosure materials in connection with a Securitization.

Upon request, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder drafts of the preliminary and final Lead Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and provide reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents.

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;

-39- 

(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 (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee 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. The Initial Agent may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, 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 the Initial Agent 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 3650 REIT Warehouse Facility Entity 2A LLC or an affiliate thereof (each a “3650 REIT Entity”) is the owner of the Non-Lead Securitization Note (the “Owned Note”), such 3650 REIT 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 3650 REIT 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 3650 REIT 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

-40- 

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 3650 REIT 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 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.

(i)       provide that the applicable Master Servicer or Trustee for the Lead Securitization shall be required to provide written notice to each Non-Lead Master Servicer and Non-Lead Trustee of any P&I Advance it has made with respect to the Lead Securitization Note within two (2) Business Days of making such advance;

(ii)       provide that 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 within two (2) Business Days of making such determination;

(iv)       provide that 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 3.29 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;

Securitization Trust, to the extent of any additional trust fund expenses with respect to the Mortgage Loan) by the Non-Lead Securitization Trust, 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 Companion Distribution Account that are allocated to the Non-Lead Securitization Note 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’s pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;

(iii)the Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Trustee or Non-Lead Certificate Administrator will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Operating Advisor (i) promptly following the Non-Lead Securitization, notice of the deposit of the Non-Lead Securitization Note into a Securitization Trust (which notice may be (x) in the form of delivery (which may be by email) of a copy of the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (y) by email notification together with contact information for the Non-Lead Trustee, the Non-Lead Certificate Administrator, the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder as a “Non-Controlling Noteholder” 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, the Non-Lead Trustee or the party designated to exercise the rights of such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder as a “Non-Controlling Noteholder” under this Agreement (together with the relevant contact information) (which may be in the form of email delivery of a copy of any revised Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement); and

(j)At any time after the Securitization Date that the Lead Securitization Note is no longer subject to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to a servicing agreement that contains servicing provisions which are the same as or more favorable to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders, in substance, to those in the Servicing Agreement and all references herein to the “Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent servicing agreement; provided, however, that if a Non-Lead Securitization Note is in a Securitization, then a written confirmation shall have been obtained from each Rating Agency rating such Securitization that the appointment of the servicer(s) pursuant to such servicing agreement would not, in and of itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to the securities issued in connection with such Securitization; provided, further, that until a replacement servicing agreement has been entered into, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced in accordance with the servicing provisions set forth in the Servicing Agreement as if such agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Servicer under such replacement Servicing Agreement shall have no further obligations to advance monthly payments of principal and interest; provided, further, however, that until a replacement servicing agreement is in place, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan may be performed by any nationally recognized commercial mortgage loan servicer meeting the requirements of the Servicing Agreement appointed by the Lead Securitization Noteholder and the special servicer appointed by the Controlling Noteholder (which special servicer must satisfy the Required Special Servicer Rating of, or otherwise be acceptable to, each of the Rating Agencies rating any outstanding Securitization) and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing Agreement.

(k)Subject to the Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and subject to a Rating Agency Confirmation, and solely in the event that S&P rates any securities issued in connection with any Securitization of any A Note, the Servicer shall require the related Mortgage Loan Borrower to maintain insurance with an insurer meeting the minimum

28 

S&P ratings requirements specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any lender discretion with respect to such ratings in the related Mortgage Loan Documents).

Section 3.Payment Priorities of the Notes.

For clarification purposes, Default Interest and late payment charges (collectively, “Penalty Charges”) paid on the A Notes pursuant to this Section 3 shall be allocated to the Note A Holders on a pro rata basis and applied: first, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable on each such A 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, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable to the Noteholder of each such A Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, Non-Lead Master Servicer or 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 any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable); third, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable to each Note A Holder by the amount necessary to pay additional trust fund expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Servicing Agreement); and finally, (i) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges otherwise allocable pursuant to this Section 3 to the Lead Securitization Noteholder, to pay such remaining amount to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable pursuant to this Section 3 to any Note A Holder that is not the Lead Securitization Noteholder, to pay such remaining amount (x) prior to the Securitization of such A Note, to the related Note A Holder and (y) following the Securitization

29 

of such A Note, to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Servicing Agreement.

Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and consistent with the Servicing Standard, each Non-Lead Noteholder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) the rights, if any, that such Non-Lead Noteholder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 Noteholder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Noteholder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).

(b)The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Each Noteholder agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. The Servicers shall service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and consistent with the Servicing Standard. Servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 the Noteholders as a collective whole. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not limit or modify the rights of the Controlling Noteholder and/or the Controlling Noteholder Representative to exercise their respective rights specifically set forth under this Agreement.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including, without

30 

limitation, Sections 5(f) and 6), if the Servicer in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof in accordance herewith such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Loan Rate or scheduled amortization payments on such Mortgage Loan are reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on such Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment (other than an increase in the Mortgage Loan Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to the Note A Holders pursuant to Section 3 shall be made as though such Workout did not occur, with the payment terms of each A Note remaining the same as they are on the date hereof, the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such Workout shall be borne by the Note A Holders (pro rata based on the Principal Balances of their respective Notes).

(d)All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicers on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

(e)If any Note is included as an asset of a REMIC, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall each 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 Noteholders 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 interests of the Noteholders 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 Noteholders 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 months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes all or a portion of any A Note. The Noteholders agree that the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall be effected by compliance by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or its assignees with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interests therein. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 5(e), 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 (without reimbursement under Section 3) by each Noteholder with respect to the REMIC containing the Note owned by such Noteholder.

Anything herein or in the Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Note is included in a REMIC and the other Notes are not, the other Noteholders shall not be required to reimburse such Noteholder that deposited its Note in the REMIC 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

31 

use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to either such other Noteholder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

(f)(i) Subject to clauses (ii) or (iii) below, if any consent, modification, amendment or waiver under or other action in respect of the Mortgage Loan (whether or not a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a Major Decision has been requested or proposed or any fact or circumstance has occurred requiring that a Major Decision be made, or if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer otherwise intends to make a Major Decision, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver prompt written notice thereof to the Controlling Noteholder and its Controlling Noteholder Representative, if any, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to taking action with respect to such Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision), and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other Person shall implement any decision with respect to such Major Decision (or make a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision) unless and until the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has received the written consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative).

(ii)       If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has not received a response from the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) with respect to such Major Decision within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the notice of such Major Decision, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deliver an additional copy of the notice of such Major Decision in all caps bold 14-point font: “This is a Second Notice. Failure to respond within five (5) Business Days of this Second Notice will result in a loss of your right to consent with respect to this decision,” and if the Controlling Noteholder fails to respond to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) with respect to any such proposed action within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such second notice, the Controlling Noteholder shall have no further consent rights with respect to such action (provided, however, that such failure to reply shall not affect the rights of the Controlling Noteholder to consent to any future actions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer may take actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) (or before consulting with any Non-Controlling Noteholder to the extent such Non-Controlling Noteholder has consultation rights with respect to such action) if the Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders as a collective whole, and the Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Noteholder. The foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a Servicer acting on its behalf) of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.

(iii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not follow any advice, direction, objection or consultation provided by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) that would require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate

32 

any applicable law, including the REMIC Provisions, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or materially expand the scope of the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) responsibilities under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

The Special Servicer shall be required to provide copies to each Non-Controlling Noteholder of any notice, information and report that is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder, and the Special Servicer shall be required to consult with each Non-Controlling  Noteholder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, any Non-Controlling Noteholder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Noteholder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to any Non-Controlling Noteholder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Noteholder, whether or not such Non-Controlling  Noteholder 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). After a Securitization of any Note that is not the Lead Securitization Note, references in this paragraph to a Non-Controlling Noteholder as such term relates to such Note shall mean the related Non-Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative.

In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Noteholder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, at the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (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.

The Noteholders acknowledge that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain certain provisions that give the Operating Advisor or Risk Retention Consultation Party certain non-binding consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions and other events related to compliance with the Risk Retention Rules applicable to the Lead Securitization.

(i)[Reserved.]

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Servicing Agreement, if at any time a Borrower Party is a Noteholder (a “Borrower Party Noteholder”), then (i) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall not have any rights as a Controlling Noteholder or a Controlling Class Representative, (ii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to appoint or terminate the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, (iii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to consult with or advise the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, and shall have no right to review and approve or comment on any Asset Status Report and (iv) in each and every instance where, pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer must take into account the interests of each Noteholder (or words of similar import), such consideration shall be given to the Borrower Party Noteholder only in its capacity as a holder of the applicable Note.

(k)If an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Servicing Agreement and subject to the Servicing Standard, elect to sell the Mortgage Loan, subject to the consent right of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), in which case such sale would include all of the A Notes and the Special Servicer shall provide notice to each Non-Lead Master Servicer, who shall provide notice to the related Non-Controlling Noteholder of the planned sale and of such Non-Controlling Noteholder’s opportunity to submit an offer on the A Notes together. Any such sale of all of the A Notes is subject to the satisfaction of the following:

(i)Each Non-Lead Noteholder has provided written consent to such sale; or

(ii)The Special Servicer has delivered the following notices and information to each Non-Lead Noteholder:

(A) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell all of the A Notes;

(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 Servicing File requested by a Non-Lead Noteholder; 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.

Any Non-Lead Noteholder may waive any delivery or timing requirements set forth above only for itself. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Noteholders shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of all of the A Notes (unless such Person is a Borrower or a Borrower Party Affiliate).

34 

Each Non-Lead Noteholder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Noteholder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 respective Non-Lead Note. Each Non-Lead Noteholder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, the Non-Lead Noteholder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver its respective original Non-Lead Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the consummation of any such sale. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph is subject to the consent right of the Controlling Noteholder in the immediately preceding paragraph.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to sell a Non-Lead Note, and the obligations of a Non-Lead Noteholder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, 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 Person that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization from the Lead Securitization Trust 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 Noteholder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the Person 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.

Section 6.Appointment of Controlling Noteholder Representative.

(a)The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right at any time to appoint a controlling noteholder representative to exercise its rights hereunder (the “Controlling Noteholder Representative”). The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Noteholder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Noteholder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Noteholder Representative. The Controlling Noteholder Representative may be any Person (other than a Borrower Party), including, without limitation, the Controlling Noteholder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Noteholder, any Affiliate of the Controlling Noteholder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Noteholder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Noteholder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Noteholder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Noteholder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Noteholder and other Noteholders (and any Servicer) will accept such actions of the Controlling Noteholder Representative as actions of the Controlling Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until the Controlling Noteholder has notified the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) of such

35 

appointment and, if the Controlling Noteholder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Noteholder Representative provides the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address, any fax number and any email address 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, telephone numbers, any fax numbers and any email addresses). The Controlling Noteholder 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 Noteholder Representative until they receive such information from the Controlling Noteholder. The Controlling Noteholder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Noteholder Representative.

(b)Neither the Controlling Noteholder Representative nor the Controlling Noteholder will have any liability to any other Noteholder or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or for errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Noteholders agree that the Controlling Noteholder Representative and the Controlling Noteholder may take or refrain from taking actions that favor the interests of one Noteholder over any other Noteholder, and that the Controlling Noteholder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Noteholder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Noteholder Representative or such Controlling Noteholder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Noteholder Representative, such Controlling Noteholder 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 Noteholder Representative nor such Controlling Noteholder 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 solely in the interests of any Noteholder.

(c)Each of the other Noteholders acknowledges and agrees all of the aforementioned rights and obligations of the Controlling Noteholder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative set forth in Section 5(f) and 5(g) and this Section 6 shall be exercisable by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the applicable Person specified in the Servicing Agreement) to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

Section 7.Special Servicer. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), at its expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of counsel to any third parties and costs and expenses of the terminated Special Servicer), shall have the right, at any time from time to time, to appoint a replacement Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with or without cause, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Special Servicer (provided, however, that the Controlling Noteholder and/or Controlling Noteholder Representative shall not be liable for any termination or similar fee in connection with the removal of the Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7); such termination not to be effective unless and until (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency

36 

Confirmation (to the extent any portion of the Mortgage Loan has been securitized); (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 the Servicing Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and (C) the Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, the applicable Servicing Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with its terms. The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall promptly provide copies to any terminated Special Servicer of the documents referred to in the preceding sentence. The Lead Securitization Noteholder will reasonably cooperate with the Controlling Noteholder in order to satisfy the foregoing conditions, including the Rating Agency Confirmation.

The Controlling Noteholder agrees and acknowledges that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain provisions to the effect that any Special Servicer is subject to termination under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement based on a recommendation by the Operating Advisor if (A) 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 holders of securities issued under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as a collective whole) and (B) an affirmative vote of requisite certificateholders is obtained. The Controlling Noteholder will retain its right to remove and replace the Special Servicer, but the Controlling Noteholder may not restore a Special Servicer that has been removed in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Section 8.Payment Procedure.

(a)The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account established pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall establish a segregated sub-account for amounts due to each Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days following the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Master Servicer’s acting on its behalf) receipt of properly identified and available funds from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower; provided, however, that in the event the Master Servicer is in receipt of properly identified funds that are not available to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer may instead deposit such amounts into the Collection Account and Companion Distribution Account, as applicable, on the same Business Day that such properly identified funds become available to the Master Servicer.

(b)If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of a Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference

37 

or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to such Noteholder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to such Noteholder and such Noteholder will promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) repay to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have theretofore distributed to such Noteholder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have been required to pay to the Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, any other Noteholder or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) makes any payment to any other Noteholder before the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within three (3) Business Days of its payment to such other Noteholder, then such other Noteholder will, at the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Servicer’s on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf).

(d)Each Noteholder 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 Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) for application subject to and in accordance with this Agreement and the Servicing. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any other Noteholder, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such other Noteholder, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) enforce the obligations of one Noteholder against another Noteholder. Each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9.Limitation on Liability of the Noteholders. No Noteholder (including any Servicer on a Noteholder’s behalf, but only to the extent that the Servicing Agreement does not impose any other standard upon any Servicer, in which case the Servicing Agreement shall control) shall have any liability to any other Noteholder except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Noteholder.

Each Noteholder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, any other Noteholder may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that such Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of each other Noteholder and that such Noteholder shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by such Noteholder to exercise such rights; provided, however, that such Noteholder shall not be protected

38 

against any liability to any other Noteholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

Section 10.Bankruptcy. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder (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. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder, as a creditor, 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. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, the Noteholders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Noteholder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 one or more of such Noteholders 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 Noteholders, hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder but subject to the provisions of Section 5(f), each other Noteholder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 14.Representations of the Note A Holders. Each of the Note A Holders 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 Noteholder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Noteholder and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Noteholder as applicable enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. Each of the Note A Holders represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its respective business.

Section 15.No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Note A Holders acknowledges that no other Noteholder owes such Noteholder any fiduciary duty with respect to any action taken under the Mortgage Loan Documents and, except as provided herein or in the Servicing Agreement, need not consult with such Noteholder with respect to any action taken by such Noteholder in connection with the Mortgage Loan.

Section 16.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 any of the Noteholders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase any future loan originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates and if any Noteholder chooses to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase any future mortgage loan originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Noteholder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Noteholder any future loans originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates.

Section 17.Not a Security. None of the Notes shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Section 18.Other Business Activities of the Noteholders. Each Noteholder acknowledges that each other Noteholder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, (i) (a) the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (b) any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (c) any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (d) any Affiliate of any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, (ii) any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of the holder of such debt, or (iii) any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of a holder of such preferred equity (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 19.Sale of the Notes.

(a)[Reserved.]

(b)[Reserved.]

(c)In the case of any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in a Note, (i) such Noteholder’s obligations under this Agreement shall

40 

remain unchanged, (ii) such Noteholder shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the other Noteholders and any Persons acting on their behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and (iv) all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Noteholder had not sold such participation interest; provided, however, that if the applicable participant is a Qualified Institutional Lender (and delivers to the other Noteholders a certification from an authorized officer confirming its status as a Qualified Institutional Lender), such Noteholder, by written notice to the other Noteholders, may delegate to such participant such Noteholder’s right to exercise the rights of the Controlling Noteholder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.

(d)Each of the Note A Holders shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of its Note without the prior consent of any other Noteholder (i) prior to an Event of Default, to any party other than a Borrower Party and (ii) after an Event of Default, to any party, including a Borrower Party; provided, however, that following any Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, a Note A Holder may only transfer all or any portion of its Note to a Borrower Party with the prior written consent of the Controlling Noteholder at any time when such Note A Holder is not the Controlling Noteholder; provided further, however, that following any Transfer of any A Note, the Mortgage Loan continues to be serviced in its entirety pursuant to the Servicing Agreement by a Servicer unaffiliated with Mortgage Loan Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 12, no Noteholder or the Servicer shall have any right to Transfer or cause the Transfer of any other Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note A Holder’s prior consent, and, if any such non-transferring Note A Holder’s Note or any portion thereof is held in a Securitization Trust, without a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the related Securitization, no Noteholder shall Transfer its Note or any portion thereof (or a participation interest in such Note) to a Borrower Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.

(e)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than a Borrower Party) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Noteholder and that is (x) 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 (y) to any Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank to secure any obligation of such Noteholder to such bank and such pledge shall be enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 19(e), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Noteholder or any person which Controls such Noteholder that is secured by such Noteholder’s interest in the applicable 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) prior to the first Securitization of any Note, the consent of each other Noteholder and (b) after the closing of the first Securitization of any Note, Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Noteholder to each other Noteholder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Noteholder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Noteholder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging

41 

Noteholder in respect of its obligations to each other Noteholder 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 Noteholder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Noteholder and accept any cure thereof by such Note Pledgee which such pledging Noteholder has the right (but not the obligation) to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Noteholder; (v) that such other Noteholder 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 Noteholder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Noteholder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Noteholder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Noteholder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Noteholder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Noteholder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Noteholder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Noteholder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Noteholder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Noteholder and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Noteholder on account of any Noteholder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or any such other Noteholder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Noteholder 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 Noteholders 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 Noteholder’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 Noteholder 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 19(e) shall remain effective as to any Noteholder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Noteholder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

(f)Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Noteholder then such Noteholder 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 made by the Conduit (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) to such Noteholder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note will require a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

42 

(ii) The Conduit Credit Enhancer and conduit manager (if Moody’s rates the Securitization) will be a Qualified Institutional Lender;

(iii)Such Noteholder will pledge (or sell, transfer or assign as part of a repurchase facility) its interest in the applicable Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

(iv)The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit will agree that, if such Noteholder 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 Noteholder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Noteholder’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 the consent of each other Noteholder, have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Noteholder, 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 20.Assignment and Assumption Upon Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Note to any entity (but excluding (x) any participant and (y) any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Noteholder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the restrictions on Transfers set forth in Section 19, from and after the date of such assignment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, neither the Trustee nor any Non-Lead Trustee shall be required to execute an assignment and assumption agreement in connection with any Transfer of a Note if the obligations are assumed pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or a Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as the case may be. In connection with a Transfer of a Note, the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 19 and this Section 20. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and any other Noteholder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 21.Registration of the Notes. 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 Section 20, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Note owing to each such Noteholder, 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, except in the case of the Initial Noteholders who may hold their Notes through a nominee. Upon request of a Noteholder, the Agent shall provide such

43 

party with the names and addresses of the Noteholders. To the extent another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, the Noteholders hereby designate such person as their agent under this Section 21 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register. The parties intend for the Mortgage Loan to be in registered form for federal income tax purposes under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Section 22.[Reserved.]

Section 23.No Pledge. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by any one or more Noteholders to any one or more other Noteholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Noteholder shall have any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then each Non-Lead Noteholder shall be entitled to receive its share of the application thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.

Section 24.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 DUTIES 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 25.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 SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, 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;

44 

(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 26.Modifications; Amendment. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Noteholder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Noteholders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first receiving a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies shall be required in connection with a modification or amendment (i) to cure any ambiguity, or (ii) entered into pursuant to Section 38 of this Agreement or (iii) to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

Section 27.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 permitted assigns. Except as provided herein, 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 19, each Noteholder 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 Noteholder hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to make further assignments.

Section 28.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 29.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 30.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 31.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.

45 

Section 32.[Reserved.]

Section 33.Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) will be held by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a custodian acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) who shall act as secured party under the Mortgage Loan Documents on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the Lead Securitization, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) shall be held by the Custodian. Each Note shall be held by the respective Noteholder or a custodian appointed by such Noteholder.

Section 34.Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission (during business hours) if a party has provided a facsimile number, (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iv) sent by electronic mail containing language requesting the recipient to confirm receipt thereof if a party has provided an electronic mail address and only if such electronic mail is promptly followed by a written notice or (iv) 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.

All notices and reports (including, without limitation, Asset Status Reports) required to be delivered hereunder by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), or by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) to the Lead Securitization Noteholder as a Non-Controlling Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf), shall also be delivered by the applicable party to each other Noteholder.

Section 35.Broker. Each Noteholder represents to each other Noteholder that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.

Section 36.Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

(a)The Noteholders hereby appoint the Agent to act on their behalf, and the Agent shall act on behalf of the Noteholders;

(b)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 20;

(c)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;

(d)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 of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

46 

(e) 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;

(f)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 20; and

(g)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.

Section 37.Termination of Agent. The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Note A-1 Holder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 37, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.

The Agent may resign at any time upon notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders, has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. DBRI, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Noteholder. DBRI, as Initial Agent, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause such Servicer to act as successor Agent, and, if such Servicer declines to act in such capacity, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause a similar servicer to act as successor Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholders 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 the Initial Agent or any successor thereto upon such Securitization without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of the Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement without any further notice or other action, in which case the appointment of a successor Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall be deemed an appointment of such successor Master Servicer as successor Agent under this Agreement without any further notice or other action.

Section 38.Resizing. In connection with the Mortgage Loan, each Noteholder agrees, subject to clause (iii)(y) below, that if any Note A Holder determines that it is advantageous to resize its Note by causing the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated or additional pari passu notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of such Note to such New Notes, each Noteholder other than the resizing Noteholder shall cooperate with the resizing Noteholder to effect such resizing at such resizing Noteholder’s expense; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is no greater than the principal balance of such Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is the same as the interest rate of the related Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, and (iii) no such resizing shall (x) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to, any other Noteholder, or priority of such payments, or

47 

(y) increase any other Noteholder’s obligations or decrease any other Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with any resizing of any A Note, the related Noteholder may allocate its rights hereunder among the New Notes in any manner in its sole discretion.

Section 39.Conflict. To the extent of any inconsistency between the Servicing Agreement, on one hand, and this Agreement, on the other, this Agreement shall control.

Section 40.Cooperation in Securitization.

(a)Each Noteholder acknowledges that each Noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization of any A Note, each other Noteholder, at the request of the related securitizing Noteholder, shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at the requesting Noteholder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the requesting Noteholder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the requesting Noteholder customarily adheres or which 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 the requesting Noteholder 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, however, that either in connection with such Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to such Securitization no other Noteholder 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 any payments to be made to, such Noteholder, (ii) increase such Noteholder’s obligations or decrease such Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections hereunder or under any Mortgage Loan Document, or (iii) otherwise materially adversely affect the rights and interests of such Noteholder. In connection with any such Securitization of an A Note, each other Noteholder agrees to provide, for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to such Securitization, such customary non-confidential information concerning such Noteholder as the requesting Noteholder reasonably determines to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with such Securitization. Each Noteholder covenants and agrees that if it is not the requesting Noteholder, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the requests of each Rating Agency and the requesting Noteholder in connection with the preparation of any offering documents in connection with the Securitization, and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to it in any Securitization document, all at the cost and expense of the requesting Noteholder. Each Noteholder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the requesting Noteholder pursuant to this Section 40 may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization. A requesting Note A Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by each other Noteholder pursuant to this Section 40.

(b)Each Note A Holder securitizing its Note may, at its election, deliver to each other Noteholder drafts of the preliminary and final Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus, preliminary prospectus and any other disclosure documents and (in the case of the Lead Securitization) the Servicing Agreement simultaneously with distributions of any such documents to the general working group of the related Securitization. Each other Noteholder may,

48 

at its election, review and comment thereon insofar as it relates to such other Noteholder and/or its Note, and, if such other Noteholder elects to review and comment, such other Noteholder shall review and comment thereon as soon as possible (but in no event later than (i) in the case of the first draft thereof, two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof and (ii) in the case of each subsequent draft thereof, the deadline provided to the general working group of the related Securitization for review and comment), and if such other Noteholder fails to respond within such time, such other Noteholder shall be deemed to have elected to not comment thereon (but no failure to comment shall constitute a waiver of such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). In the event of any disagreement between any such other Noteholder with respect to the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus, free writing prospectus or any other disclosure documents, the requesting Noteholder’s determination shall control (the parties acknowledging that no inaccuracy in such documents shall in any respect prejudice any such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). No such other Noteholder shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any such offering documents other than the accuracy of any comments it elects to make regarding itself.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Note A Holder acknowledges and agrees that (i) no other Noteholder shall be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such Note A Holder’s respective Securitization of such Note A Holder’s A Note, and (ii) each such other Noteholder shall only be required to disclose such customary non-confidential information reasonably determined by the requesting Note A Holder to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with such Note A Holder’s respective Securitization.

(b)The Master Servicer shall be the 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) (i) shall be required to make Property Protection Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and (ii) may be required to make P&I Advances on the Lead Securitization

19

Note, if and to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for a Property Protection Advance, first from funds on deposit in the Collection Account for the Mortgage Loan that (in any case) represent amounts received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and then, in the case of Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances, if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account are insufficient, from general collections of each Non-Lead Securitization as provided below. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for interest on Advances on a Property Protection Advance or Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, in the manner and from the sources provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, including in the case of Property Protection Advances, from general collections of each Non-Lead Securitization as provided below. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (including from general collections or any other amounts from any Non-Lead Securitization Trust) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse the Lead Securitization’s allocable share, to be determined in Reverse Sequential Order, of Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance or interest on an Advance.

In addition, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (including, but not limited to, any Non-Lead Securitization Trust) 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 allocable share, to be determined in Reverse Sequential Order, 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 or the Depositor, as applicable, is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and any costs, fees and expenses related to obtaining any Rating Agency Confirmation, to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that are allocated to such Non-Lead Securitization Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts and to the extent that funds from general collections in the Lead Securitization are applied towards the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s allocable share, to be determined in Reverse Sequential Order, of the insufficiency.

Each Non-Lead Master Servicer and the special servicer and the trustee under each Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (respectively, a “Non-Lead Special Servicer” and a “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 related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Each of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, will only be entitled to reimbursement for a P&I Advance and interest on such Advances that becomes non-recoverable first from the Collection Account on a pro rata basis without regard to the subordination of Note B, and then, if funds are insufficient, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any P&I Advance made pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or any P&I Advance made pursuant to any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, such advances shall be reimbursed on a pro rata and pari passu basis (based on the total outstanding principal balance of the Notes without regard to the subordination of the B Notes

(i)ninth, if the proceeds of any foreclosure sale or any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property exceed the amounts required to be applied in accordance with the foregoing clauses (a)-(g) and, as a result of a workout the Note Principal Balance for each Note B has been reduced, such excess amount shall be paid to the Note B Holder in an amount up to the reduction, if any, of the Note Principal Balance for each B Note as a result of such workout, plus interest on such amount at the related Note B Rate;

(j)tenth, to the extent assumption or transfer fees actually paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower are not required to be otherwise applied under the Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, to provide reimbursement for interest on any Advances, to pay any Additional Servicing Expenses or to compensate a Servicer (in each case provided that such reimbursements or payments relate to the Mortgage Loan), any such assumption or transfer fees, to the extent actually paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, shall be paid to each Note A Holder and each Note B Holder, pro rata, based on their respective Percentage Interests; and

(k)eleventh, if any excess amount is available to be distributed in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and not otherwise applied in accordance with the foregoing clauses (a)-(i), any remaining amount shall be paid pro rata to each Note A Holder and each Note B Holder in accordance with their respective initial Percentage Interests.

All expenses and losses relating to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation losses of principal and interest, Property Protection Advances, interest on such Advances, Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees, Appraisal Reduction Amounts and certain other trust expenses, shall be allocated in Reverse Sequential Order; provided, however, all P&I Advances will be reimbursed pro rata and pari passu among the Notes without regard to the subordination of each B Note as set forth herein. Any realized losses (including reductions by a bankruptcy court) applied to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan shall be reimbursed in Sequential Order after all amounts of interest and principal have otherwise been paid in full on all the Notes.

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 Accepted Servicing Practices, 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 on any Note 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 Sequential Order of payment of the Notes as set forth herein, and all payments to the Note A Holders pursuant to Section 3 shall be made as though such workout did not occur, with the payment terms of each A Note remaining the same as they are on the date hereof, and the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan

25

attributable to such workout shall be borne, first, by the Note B Holders, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, based on their respective Note Principal Balances (up to their respective Note Principal Balances, together with accrued interest thereon at the Note Rate and any other amounts due to each Note B Holder, as applicable) and then, by the Note A Holders, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis (up to their respective Note Principal Balances, together with accrued interest thereon at the Note Rate and any other amounts due to each Note A Holder, as applicable).

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 consent, 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 Accepted Servicing Practices (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 the Non-Lead Securitization Notes 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 Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

26

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 the Non-Controlling Note Holder is a Borrower Related Party) 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 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 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the Mortgaged Property, and any documents in the Mortgage 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 not 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 such 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 Non-Controlling Note Holder shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Mortgage Loan, unless such Person is a Borrower Related Party.

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 Non-Lead Securitization Notes. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each 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 is terminated in accordance with its terms.

(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

27

accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices, taking into account the interests of each of the Note Holders as a collective whole (taking into account that Note B is junior to the A Notes). 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 without such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s prior written consent. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless it is a Borrower Related Party) shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to its 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 rights and powers of the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(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 the 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 on a non-binding basis with the Non-Controlling Note Holder or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative (until the occurrence and continuance of a consultation termination event under the related pooling and servicing agreement) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative with respect to any such Major Decisions (provided that if the Non-Controlling Note Holder does not consult, or notify the Special Servicer that it will not consult, to such Major Decisions within ten (10) business days, as applicable, the Non-Controlling Note Holder shall be deemed to have consulted to such Major Decisions).

(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

28

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.

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 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 Holders 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 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 a Borrower Related Party), 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, 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, 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, Trustee and Certificate Administrator with written confirmation of its acceptance of

29

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, Trustee and Certificate Administrator.

(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 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 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 negligent, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have 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. 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 and thereafter there shall be no Controlling Note Holder for so long as the Notes are serviced pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(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.

(d)The Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to it hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the “controlling class representative” 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 Loan” (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and (2) the Special

30

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 consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, 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 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.

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, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event pursuant to the Lead Securitization Agreement, is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders (as a collective whole taking into account that Note B is junior to the A Notes) 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 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 Accepted Servicing Practices or materially expand the scope of responsibilities of any of the Master Servicer or 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 or breach of this Agreement 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 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.

31

Section 7.Appointment of Special Servicer. Subject to the terms of 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. The Controlling Note Holder and the Non-Controlling Note Holder acknowledge and agree that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer shall meet the Required Special Servicer Rating for each Rating Agency (or, with respect to any such Rating Agency, a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained or deemed obtained pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as 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.

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 Collection 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 (i) deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) 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 and (ii) remit from the applicable account (A) prior to the Securitization Date, within two Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds (unless otherwise specified pursuant to an interim servicing agreement) and (B) on or after the Securitization Date, (A) with respect to the Lead Securitization Notes, the remittance date under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Lead Securitization Notes and (B) with respect to each Non-Lead Securitization Note, (x) prior to the Non-Lead Securitization, the remittance date under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Lead Securitization Notes and (y) on or after the Non-Lead Securitization, the earlier of the remittance date under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and the second (2^nd) business day immediately succeeding the “determination date” set forth in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for such Non-Lead Securitization Notes as long as such determination date is no earlier than the 6^th day of the calendar month, all payments received and allocable pursuant to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with

32

respect to the Non-Lead Securitization Notes (net of amounts payable or reimbursable from such account) by wire transfer to accounts maintained by the applicable 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, a 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 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 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 related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, the related 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. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement governing limitation on the liabilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor 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 Accepted Servicing Practices, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the

33

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, however, that the Servicer must act in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices.

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 Accepted Servicing Practices.

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 organizational documents 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

34

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.

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 Holders or their 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, participate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose (either (i) directly or (ii) indirectly through entering into a derivatives contract or any other similar agreement, excluding a repo financing or a Pledge in accordance with Section 14(d)) of a Note (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender. Promptly after the Transfer, the non-transferring Note Holders 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 (x)

35

prior to a Securitization, the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder or (2) after a Securitization of such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note, Rating Agency Confirmation. 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 Rating Agency Confirmation, 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 will pay the expenses of the 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 any other Note Holder, 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 all of the 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.

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 Rating Agency 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

36

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, 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 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. 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 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

37

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 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

38

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.

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 SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 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 SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, 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

39

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 receiving a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating securities backed by a Note; provided that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies shall be required in connection with a modification or amendment (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, (ii) entered into pursuant to Section 31 of this Agreement (iii) to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement or (iv) if and to the extent that 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.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, Special Servicer, Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer, 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.

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.

40

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 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 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, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that such Note Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead

41

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 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) or Form W-8BEN, 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 requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

Section 25.Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than each Non-Lead Securitization Note) (a) prior to the Lead Securitization will be held by the Initial Agent and (b) on and 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 26.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 Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the Lead Securitization Note Holder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization 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 the Securitization; provided, however, that either in connection with the Lead Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to the Lead Securitization, none of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders 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, a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or (ii) materially increase a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders’ obligations or

42

materially decrease any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders’ rights, remedies or protections. In connection with the Lead Securitization, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees to provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the Lead Securitization such information concerning such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the related Non-Lead Securitization Note as the Lead Securitization Note Holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder covenants and agrees that it shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable the Lead Securitization Noteholder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and the Lead 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 a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the related Non-Lead Securitization Note in any Securitization document. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the Lead Securitization Note Holder may be incorporated into the offering documents for the Lead Securitization. The Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder. The Lead Securitization Note Holder will reasonably cooperate with each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder by providing all information reasonably requested that is in the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s possession in connection with each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders’ preparation of disclosure materials in connection with a Securitization.

Upon request, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder drafts of the preliminary and final Lead Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and provide reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents.

Section 27. Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) telephone (confirmed promptly in writing) or shall be in writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by 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), (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (iv) 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.

43

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.Termination and Resignation of Agent.

(a)The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from each Note A Holder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 30, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.

(b)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. GS Bank, 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 GS Bank without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such

44

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 31.Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as an Initial Note Holder or an affiliate thereof (an “Original Entity”) is the owner of a Non-Lead 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 A Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such New 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 Accepted Servicing Practices. 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 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 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. If more than one New Note is created hereunder, for purposes of exercising the rights of a 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.

Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders each 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 the 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 irrevocably appoints the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee in the Lead Securitization as such Note Holder’s attorney-in-fact to sign any documents reasonably required with respect to the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan on its behalf under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (subject at all

-20- 

times to the rights of the Note Holder set forth herein and in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement).

Upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, the 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 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.

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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders: (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 Servicing File requested by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders 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 related “Subordinate Class Representative” (or other similar term)) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale provided, that such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders and any 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 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 its original 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 Note, and the obligations of any other Note Holder to execute and deliver

-21- 

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 a representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or a 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 the 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 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its related 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 expiration of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and

(ii) to consult with the 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 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

-22- 

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 the 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 the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

In addition to the consultation rights of the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) provided for above, the Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, in the discretion of the Master Servicer) 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.

(c)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.

In the event that one of the Notes is included in a REMIC, 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

-23- 

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.

(d)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.

Section 6.Rights of the Controlling Note Holder; Rights of the Non-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 (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 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 the

-24- 

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, Operating Advisor or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Note Holder Representative. So long as a Control Termination Event is not 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.

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 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.

(b)The 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”). For the purposes of this Section 6(b), 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 of the first paragraph thereof) shall be deemed to apply to the Non-Controlling Note Holder and the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative, respectively.

-25- 

For so long as the Note A-1 Holder is the Controlling Note Holder and Note A-2 is included in the Note A-2 Securitization, the “Directing Certificateholder” or other designated party under the Note A-2 PSA shall be the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative.

The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be required at any time to deal with more than one party exercising the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” herein or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and, (x) to the extent that the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement assigns such rights to more than one party or (y) to the extent any of Note A-2 is split into two or more New Notes pursuant to Section 32, for purposes of this Agreement, the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or the holders of such New Notes shall designate one party to deal with Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) and provide written notice of such designation to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer acting on its behalf); provided that, in the absence of such designation and notice, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be entitled to treat the last party as to which it has received written notice as having been designated as the Non-Controlling Note Holder, as the Non-Controlling Note Holder for all purposes of this Agreement. As of the date hereof and until further notice from the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Non-Lead Master Servicer or another party acting on its behalf), the Initial Note A-2 Holder is the Non-Controlling Note Holder.

No objection, direction, consent, advice or consultation contemplated by the preceding and following 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.

(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 Directing Ceritificateholder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the other mortgage loans included in the Lead Securitization, including 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 Directing Ceritificateholder 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.

(d)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

-26- 

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 Holder, and that 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 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 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.

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, 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 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, 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 the 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 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. The 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 Companion Distribution Account.

-27- 

Section 8.Payment Procedure.

(a)The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Collection Account or Collection Accounts, as applicable. Each of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder hereby directs the Master Servicer, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 hereof, and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (i) to deposit into the applicable Collection Account within the time period specified in the Lead Securitization 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 Business Day following the Determination Date under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (so long as the date on which the remittance is required is at least one (1) Business Day after the related due date for the Mortgage Loan) all payments received with respect to and allocable to Note A-1 and Note A-2 by wire transfer to accounts maintained by the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder respectively; 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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 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 the 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due

-28- 

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. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement governing Servicer liability, 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 gross 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 manner that may be adverse to the interests of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to the 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 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 the 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, the 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

-29- 

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 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 the 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 the 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. The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no 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

-30- 

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, participate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose (either (i) directly or (ii) indirectly through entering into a derivatives contract or any other similar agreement, excluding a repo financing or a Pledge in accordance with Section 14(d)) of a 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 as to which 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 the 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 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 the 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 any other Note Holder, the Rating Agencies 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 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 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

-31- 

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, 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

-32- 

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:

(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

-33- 

(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 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 receiving a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment or modification will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of its then current ratings of the securities issued in connection with a Securitization; provided

-35- 

that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies 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) that addresses the creation of New Notes in accordance with Section 32 hereof.

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, Operating Advisor, Master Servicer and Special Servicer, and any Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer and 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.

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.

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 the 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

-36- 

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.

(a)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.

(b)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) or Form W-8BEN, 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 the Non-Lead

-37- 

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 any Notes not held by the Initial Agent) shall be held by the Initial Agent on behalf of the registered holders of each of the Notes. On and after the Lead Securitization Date, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Non-Lead Securitization Note) shall be held in the name of the Lead Securitization Trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor), in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. On and after the Non-Lead Securitization Date, the Non-Lead Securitization Note shall be held in the name of the Non-Lead Trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor) on behalf of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder.

Section 26.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 the Lead Securitization and subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, at the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the Lead Securitization Note Holder customarily adheres or that may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Lead Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization 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 the Lead Securitization; provided, however, that in connection with the Lead Securitization, no Non-Lead Securitization 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-Lead Securitization Note Holder or (ii) materially increase such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations or materially decrease such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s rights, remedies or protections. The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable the Lead Securitization Note Holder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and the Lead 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-Lead Securitization Note Holder and its Non-Lead Securitization Note in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that the information provided by it

-38- 

to the Lead Securitization Note Holder may be or has been incorporated into the offering documents for the Lead Securitization. The Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, any Note Holder. The Lead Securitization Note Holder, at the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s sole cost and expense, will reasonably cooperate with the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder by providing all information reasonably requested that is in the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s possession in connection with such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s preparation of disclosure materials in connection with a Securitization.

Upon request, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder drafts of the preliminary and final Lead Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and provide reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents.

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;

-39- 

(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 Certificate Administrator or the Trustee 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. The Initial Agent may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, 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 the Initial Agent 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 3650 REIT Warehouse Facility Entity 2A LLC or an affiliate thereof (each a “3650 REIT Entity”) is the owner of the Non-Lead Securitization Note (the “Owned Note”), such 3650 REIT 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 3650 REIT 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 3650 REIT 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

-40- 

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 3650 REIT 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 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.

(e)       If the Note A-2 Securitization or the Note A-3 Securitization occurs prior to the Note A-1 Securitization, the Note A-1 Holder shall provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Note A-2 PSA and/or the Note A-3 PSA, as applicable (provided such party is not also a party to the Note A-1 PSA) notice of the Note A-1 Securitization in writing (which may be by e-mail) promptly following the Note A-1 Securitization Date. Such notice shall contain contact information for each of the parties to the Note A-1 PSA. In addition, if the Note A-2 Securitization and/or the Note A-3 Securitization occurs prior to the Note A-1 Securitization, then after the Note A-1 Securitization Date, the Note A-1 Holder shall send a copy of the Note A-1 PSA to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Note A-2 PSA or the Note A-3 PSA, as applicable (provided such party is not also a party to the Note A-1 PSA).

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, 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

-19- 

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 reimbursements 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, (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 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.

Penalty Charges (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) paid shall be allocated to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis and applied first, 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, 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, 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, in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges, 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.

-20- 

Section 5. Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)       Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(b)) 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no 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, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders each 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 the 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 irrevocably appoints the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee in the Lead Securitization as such Note Holder’s attorney-in-fact to sign any documents reasonably required with respect to the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan on its behalf under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (subject at all times to the rights of the Note Holder set forth herein and in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement).

Upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, the 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 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.

-21- 

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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders: (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 Servicing File requested by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders 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 related “Subordinate Class Representative” (or other similar term)) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale provided, that such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders and any 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 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 its original 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 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 a representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or a 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 the 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

-22- 

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 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its related 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 expiration of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and

(ii) to consult with the 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 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 the 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

-23- 

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 the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

In addition to the consultation rights of the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) provided for above, the Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, in the discretion of the Master Servicer) 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.

(c)       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.

In the event that one of the Notes is included in a REMIC, 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.

(d)       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)

-24- 

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.

Section 6. Rights of the Controlling Note Holder; Rights of the Non-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 (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 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 the 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, Operating Advisor or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Note Holder Representative. So

-25- 

long as a Control Termination Event is not 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.

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 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.

(b)       The 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”). For the purposes of this Section 6(b), 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 of the first paragraph thereof) shall be deemed to apply to the Non-Controlling Note Holder and the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative, respectively.

For so long as the Note A-1 Holder is the Controlling Note Holder and any of Note A-2 or Note A-3 are included in the Note A-2 Securitization or the Note A-3 Securitization, respectively, the “Directing Certificateholder” or other designated party under the Note A-2 PSA or the Note A-3 PSA shall be the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative.

The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be required at any time to deal with more than one party exercising the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” herein or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and, (x) to the extent that the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement assigns such rights to more than one party or (y) to the extent any of Note A-2 or Note A-3 is split into two or more New Notes pursuant to Section 32,

-26- 

for purposes of this Agreement, the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or the holders of such New Notes shall designate one party to deal with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) and provide written notice of such designation to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer acting on its behalf); provided that, in the absence of such designation and notice, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be entitled to treat the last party as to which it has received written notice as having been designated as the Non-Controlling Note Holder, as the Non-Controlling Note Holder for all purposes of this Agreement. As of the date hereof and until further notice from the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Non-Lead Master Servicer or another party acting on its behalf), the Initial Note A-2 Holder and the Initial Note A-3 Holder are each the Non-Controlling Note Holder.

No objection, direction, consent, advice or consultation contemplated by the preceding and following 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.

(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 Directing Ceritificateholder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the other mortgage loans included in the Lead Securitization, including 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 Directing Ceritificateholder 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.

(d)       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 Holder, and that 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 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 misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its

-27- 

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. 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 each 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, 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 the 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 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. The 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 Companion Distribution Account.

Section 8. Payment Procedure.

(a)       The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Collection Account or Collection Accounts, as applicable. Each of the Note A-1 Holder, the Note A-2 Holder and the Note A-3 Holder hereby directs the Master Servicer, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 hereof, and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (i) to deposit into the applicable Collection Account within the time period specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement all payments received with respect to the Mortgage Loan

-28- 

and (ii) to remit from the applicable Collection Account for deposit or credit on the applicable Business Day following the Determination Date under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (so long as the date on which the remittance is required is at least one (1) Business Day after the related due date for the Mortgage Loan) all payments received with respect to and allocable to Note A-1, Note A-2 and Note A-3 by wire transfer to accounts maintained by the Note A-1 Holder, the Note A-2 Holder and the Note A-3 Holder respectively; 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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 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 the 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 the 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. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement governing Servicer liability, each Note Holder shall have no liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to

-29- 

losses actually suffered due to the gross 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 manner that may be adverse to the interests of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to the 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 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 the 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, the 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

-30- 

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 the 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 the 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. The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no 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, participate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose (either (i) directly or (ii) indirectly through entering into a derivatives contract or any other similar

-31- 

agreement, excluding a repo financing or a Pledge in accordance with Section 14(d)) of a 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 as to which 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 the 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 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 the 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 any other Note Holder, the Rating Agencies 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 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 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

-32- 

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, 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

-33- 

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;

(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

-34- 

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 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.

(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 receiving a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment or modification will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of its then current ratings of the securities issued in connection with a Securitization; provided that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies 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) that addresses the creation of New Notes in accordance with Section 32 hereof.

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.

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 the 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.

(a)       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

-37- 

cost and expense, shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(b)       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) or Form W-8BEN, 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.

Section 26. Cooperation in Securitization.

-38- 

Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the Lead Securitization Note Holder customarily adheres or that may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Lead Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization 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 the Lead Securitization; provided, however, that in connection with the Lead Securitization, no Non-Lead Securitization 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-Lead Securitization Note Holder or (ii) materially increase such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations or materially decrease such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s rights, remedies or protections. The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable the Lead Securitization Note Holder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and the Lead 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-Lead Securitization Note Holder and its Non-Lead Securitization Note in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the Lead Securitization Note Holder may be or has been incorporated into the offering documents for the Lead Securitization. The Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, any Note Holder.

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 Certificate Administrator or the Trustee 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. The Initial Agent may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that,

-40- 

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 the Initial Agent 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 3650 REIT Warehouse Facility Entity 2A LLC or an affiliate thereof (each a “3650 REIT Entity”) is the owner of the Non-Lead Securitization Note (the “Owned Note”), such 3650 REIT 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 3650 REIT 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 3650 REIT 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 3650 REIT 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 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.

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 or the Asset Representations Reviewer, 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 Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account that are allocated to the related Non-Lead Securitization Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its pro rata share of the insufficiency; provided, however, that the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s duty to pay Indemnified Items to the Operating Advisor shall be subject to any limitations and conditions (including limitations and conditions with respect to the timing of such payments and the sources of funds for such payments) as may be set forth from time to time in the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Any 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 Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, and any Non-Lead Master Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, 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 the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to the 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

-17-

Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account from amounts allocable to the Note for which such P&I Advance was made, and then, if 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 the 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)       The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, if the 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 (and advance interest thereon) and any “additional trust fund expenses”, 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”, (i) the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee, as applicable, out of general funds 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 Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances and/or “additional trust fund expenses”, and (ii) if the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement permits the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee to reimburse itself from the Lead Securitization Trust’s general account, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee, as applicable, may do so and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse the Lead Securitization Trust out of general funds 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 Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances and/or “additional trust fund expenses”;

(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 and, in the case of the Lead Securitization Trust, to the extent of any “additional trust fund expenses” with respect to the Mortgage Loan) by any Non-Lead Securitization Trust, 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 “Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial 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 funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing

-18-

Agreement; provided, however, that the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may include limitations and conditions on the payment or reimbursement of Indemnified Items to the Operating Advisor (including limitations and conditions with respect to the timing of such payments or reimbursements and the sources of funds for such payments or reimbursements);

(iii)       the related Non-Lead Certificate Administrator will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and Master Servicer 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);

(iv)       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 any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; and

(v)       the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and the Lead Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions.

(d)       The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain the provisions and comply with the terms set forth on Schedule I to this Agreement.

(e)       If the Note A-2 Securitization or the Note A-3 Securitization occurs prior to the Note A-1 Securitization, the Note A-1 Holder shall provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Note A-2 PSA and/or the Note A-3 PSA, as applicable (provided such party is not also a party to the Note A-1 PSA) notice of the Note A-1 Securitization in writing (which may be by e-mail) promptly following the Note A-1 Securitization Date. Such notice shall contain contact information for each of the parties to the Note A-1 PSA. In addition, if the Note A-2 Securitization and/or the Note A-3 Securitization occurs prior to the Note A-1 Securitization, then after the Note A-1 Securitization Date, the Note A-1 Holder shall send a copy of the Note A-1 PSA to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Note A-2 PSA or the Note A-3 PSA, as applicable (provided such party is not also a party to the Note A-1 PSA).

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, 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

-19-

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 reimbursements 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, (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 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.

Penalty Charges (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) paid shall be allocated to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis and applied first, 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, 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, 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, in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges, 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.

-20-

Section 5. Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)       Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(b)) 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no 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, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders each 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 the 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 irrevocably appoints the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee in the Lead Securitization as such Note Holder’s attorney-in-fact to sign any documents reasonably required with respect to the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan on its behalf under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (subject at all times to the rights of the Note Holder set forth herein and in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement).

Upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, the 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 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.

-21-

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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders: (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 Servicing File requested by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders 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 related “Subordinate Class Representative” (or other similar term)) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale provided, that such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders and any 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 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 its original 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 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 a representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or a 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 the 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

-22-

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 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its related 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 expiration of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and

(ii) to consult with the 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 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 the 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

-23-

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 the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

In addition to the consultation rights of the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) provided for above, the Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, in the discretion of the Master Servicer) 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.

(c)       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.

In the event that one of the Notes is included in a REMIC, 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.

(d)       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)

-24-

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.

Section 6. Rights of the Controlling Note Holder; Rights of the Non-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 (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 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 the 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, Operating Advisor or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Note Holder Representative. So

-25-

long as a Control Termination Event is not 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.

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 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.

(b)       The 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”). For the purposes of this Section 6(b), 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 of the first paragraph thereof) shall be deemed to apply to the Non-Controlling Note Holder and the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative, respectively.

For so long as the Note A-1 Holder is the Controlling Note Holder and any of Note A-2 or Note A-3 are included in the Note A-2 Securitization or the Note A-3 Securitization, respectively, the “Directing Certificateholder” or other designated party under the Note A-2 PSA or the Note A-3 PSA shall be the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative.

The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be required at any time to deal with more than one party exercising the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” herein or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and, (x) to the extent that the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement assigns such rights to more than one party or (y) to the extent any of Note A-2 or Note A-3 is split into two or more New Notes pursuant to Section 32,

-26-

for purposes of this Agreement, the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or the holders of such New Notes shall designate one party to deal with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) and provide written notice of such designation to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer acting on its behalf); provided that, in the absence of such designation and notice, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be entitled to treat the last party as to which it has received written notice as having been designated as the Non-Controlling Note Holder, as the Non-Controlling Note Holder for all purposes of this Agreement. As of the date hereof and until further notice from the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Non-Lead Master Servicer or another party acting on its behalf), the Initial Note A-2 Holder and the Initial Note A-3 Holder are each the Non-Controlling Note Holder.

No objection, direction, consent, advice or consultation contemplated by the preceding and following 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.

(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 Directing Ceritificateholder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the other mortgage loans included in the Lead Securitization, including 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 Directing Ceritificateholder 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.

(d)       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 Holder, and that 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 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 misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its

-27-

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. 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 each 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, 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 the 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 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. The 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 Companion Distribution Account.

Section 8. Payment Procedure.

(a)       The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Collection Account or Collection Accounts, as applicable. Each of the Note A-1 Holder, the Note A-2 Holder and the Note A-3 Holder hereby directs the Master Servicer, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 hereof, and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (i) to deposit into the applicable Collection Account within the time period specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement all payments received with respect to the Mortgage Loan

-28-

and (ii) to remit from the applicable Collection Account for deposit or credit on the applicable Business Day following the Determination Date under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (so long as the date on which the remittance is required is at least one (1) Business Day after the related due date for the Mortgage Loan) all payments received with respect to and allocable to Note A-1, Note A-2 and Note A-3 by wire transfer to accounts maintained by the Note A-1 Holder, the Note A-2 Holder and the Note A-3 Holder respectively; 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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 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 the 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 the 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. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement governing Servicer liability, each Note Holder shall have no liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to

-29-

losses actually suffered due to the gross 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 manner that may be adverse to the interests of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to the 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 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 the 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, the 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

-30-

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 the 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 the 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. The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no 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, participate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose (either (i) directly or (ii) indirectly through entering into a derivatives contract or any other similar

-31-

agreement, excluding a repo financing or a Pledge in accordance with Section 14(d)) of a 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 as to which 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 the 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 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 the 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 any other Note Holder, the Rating Agencies 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 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 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

-32-

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, 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

-33-

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;

(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

-34-

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 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).

(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 receiving a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment or modification will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of its then current ratings of the securities issued in connection with a Securitization; provided that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies 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) that addresses the creation of New Notes in accordance with Section 32 hereof.

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, Operating Advisor, Master Servicer and Special Servicer, and any Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer and 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.

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 the 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

-37-

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) or Form W-8BEN, 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 the 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 any Notes not held by the Initial Agent) shall be held by the Initial Agent on behalf of the registered holders of each of the Notes. On and after the Lead Securitization Date, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Non-Lead Securitization Note) shall be held in the name of the Lead Securitization Trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor), in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. On and after the Non-Lead Securitization Date, the Non-Lead Securitization Note shall be held in the name of the Non-Lead Trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor) on behalf of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder.

Section 26. Cooperation in Securitization.

The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable the Lead Securitization Note Holder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and the Lead 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-Lead Securitization Note Holder and its Non-Lead Securitization Note in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the Lead Securitization Note Holder may be or has been incorporated into the offering documents for the Lead Securitization. The Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, any Note Holder. The Lead Securitization Note Holder, at the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s sole cost and expense, will reasonably cooperate with the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder by providing all information reasonably requested that is in the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s possession in connection with such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s preparation of disclosure materials in connection with a Securitization.

Upon request, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder drafts of the preliminary and final Lead Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and provide reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents.

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 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 Certificate Administrator or the Trustee 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. The Initial Agent may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that,

-40-

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 the Initial Agent 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 3650 REIT Warehouse Facility Entity 2A LLC or an affiliate thereof (each a “3650 REIT Entity”) is the owner of the Non-Lead Securitization Note (the “Owned Note”), such 3650 REIT 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 3650 REIT 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 3650 REIT 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 3650 REIT 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 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.

-5-

(b)       as to each Mortgage Loan, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii) (if recorded), (ix) and (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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, it shall forward to the Custodian a copy of the original certified by the Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording. The Seller shall cause each assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC financing statement assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above to 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 Seller or its designee, in which case the Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of the recorded 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 Purchaser (or the Custodian on its behalf) shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original.

(g)       for so long as the Trust (or any Other Securitization that holds a related Companion Loan) is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser (or with respect to a Companion Loan relating to a Mortgage Loan contributed by Seller to the Trust (or a portion thereof) and which is deposited into any Other Securitization, the depositor of such Other Securitization) and the Certificate Administrator with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure and any Form 8-K Disclosure Information indicated on Exhibit BB, Exhibit CC and Exhibit DD to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to the extent contemplated to be provided by the Seller in its capacity as a “Sponsor”, within the time periods set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that, in connection with providing Additional Form 10-K Disclosure and the Seller’s reporting obligations under Item 1119 of Regulation AB, upon reasonable request by the Seller, the

(vi)      No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of, or compliance by the Seller with, each Operative Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than those which have been obtained by the Seller;

(vii)     The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser is not subject to bulk transfer laws or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;

(x)       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”), the Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain without the consent of the Purchaser) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (“Rule 15Ga-2”)) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Offering Documents and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ without the consent of the Purchaser) 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 Offering Documents. The Seller further represents and warrants that no portion of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report contains, with respect to the information contained therein with respect to the Mortgage Loans, 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.

(b)       The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Seller as of the Closing Date that:

-11- 

(i)        The Purchaser is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to own its assets and conduct its business, is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, and the Purchaser has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all the transactions contemplated hereby;

(ii)       Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, this Agreement will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation 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);

(iii)      The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the performance of its obligations hereunder will not conflict with any provision of any law or regulation to which the Purchaser is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any of the Purchaser’s organizational documents or any agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to the Purchaser, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the Purchaser’s assets or property, in each case which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Purchaser to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iv)      There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against the Purchaser in any court or by or before any other governmental agency or instrumentality which would materially and adversely affect the validity of this Agreement or any action taken in connection with the obligations of the Purchaser contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Purchaser to perform under the terms of this Agreement;

(v)       The Purchaser is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations of the Purchaser or its properties or might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect its performance under any Operative Document;

(vi)      No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of or compliance by the Purchaser with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than those that have been obtained by the Purchaser; and

-12- 

(vii)     The Purchaser (A) prepared one or more reports on Form ABS-15G (each, a “Form 15G”) containing the findings and conclusions of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report and meeting the requirements of Form 15G, Rule 15Ga-2 and any other rules and regulations of the Commission and the Exchange Act; (B) provided a copy of the final draft of each such Form 15G to the Dealers at least six (6) Business Days before the first sale in the offering contemplated by the Offering Documents; and (C) furnished each such Form 15G to the Commission on EDGAR at least five (5) Business Days before the first sale in the offering contemplated by the Offering Documents as required by Rule 15Ga-2.

(c)       The Seller further makes the representations and warranties as to the Mortgage Loans set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement as of the Cut-off Date or such other date set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement, which representations and warranties are subject to the exceptions thereto set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement.

(d)       Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives a Repurchase Request, such party is required to give prompt written notice thereof to the Seller and the Purchaser.

(e)       Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if any Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee discovers or receives notice alleging a Material Defect, then such Certificateholder, Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee will be required to give prompt written notice thereof to the Seller, the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event). Promptly upon becoming aware of any such Material Defect (including through a written notice given by a Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee, as provided above), the Seller shall, not later than 90 days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Seller’s discovery of the Material Defect or receipt of notice 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 (as used herein, a “Qualified Mortgage”), the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Seller or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect or (y) receipt of notice of a discovery of such Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Seller, cure the same in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of any losses and additional trust fund expenses associated therewith) or, if such Material Defect cannot be cured within such 90 day period, the Seller shall either (i) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan 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 or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Defect is capable of being cured but not

-13- 

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 Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within such 90 day period, then the 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 of the related Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as described above) it being understood and agreed that, in connection with the Seller’s receiving such additional 90 day period, the Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Holder setting forth the reasons such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the 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 the Seller to have received the recorded document, then the Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, substitution or repurchase obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as the Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master 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 the Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, substitution or repurchase may continue beyond the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. The Seller shall have no obligation to monitor the Mortgage Loans regarding the existence of a Breach or a Defect, but if the Seller discovers a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, it shall notify the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e), in lieu of the Seller performing its repurchase or substitution obligations with respect to any Material Defect provided in this Section 6(e), to the extent that the Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trust, and, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and only with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) are able to agree upon the Loss of Value Payment for a Material Defect, the Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser (or its assignee); provided that a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage Loan, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. Upon its making such payment, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Defect in all respects. Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such Material Defect, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or substitute the related Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Defect.

If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty to the effect 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 Seller shall not be required to repurchase or substitute such Mortgage Loan and the sole remedy with respect to any Breach of such representation shall be to cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by

-14- 

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 the basis of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) if such Mortgage Loan is or was a Delinquent Loan, the amount of any fees payable, without duplication, pursuant to Section 5(m) to the extent not previously paid by the Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if the Breach relates to the CX – 350 & 450 Water Street Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall be responsible for 67.9% of all such costs and expenses unless such Breach relates solely to the Mortgage Note sold hereunder by the Seller; and provided, further, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses. If the Seller elects to pay such costs and expenses, the Seller shall remit the amount to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for disbursement to the applicable persons and upon its making such remittance, the 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 Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the Mortgagor shall be promptly returned to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or Section 2.03(g), as applicable, of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect on the part of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or in providing notice of such Material Defect will relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan unless (i) the Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than the Asset Representations Reviewer) to provide prompt notice as required by the terms hereof or of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (for the avoidance of doubt, knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iv) such delay precludes the Seller from curing such Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the 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 Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release in lieu of a repurchase does 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 Trust and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

Subject to the Seller’s right to cure set forth above in this Section 6(e), and further subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any of the following will cause a document in the Mortgage File that is required to be delivered by the Seller for any Mortgage Loan to be deemed to have a “Defect” that constitutes a Material Defect and to be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan (but solely with respect to clause (a)) and to be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan: (a) the

-15- 

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 Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation (or certified by the applicable recorder’s office); (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the lender’s title insurance policy issued in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan (or, if such policy has not been issued or located, an irrevocable, binding commitment (which may be a marked version of the policy that has been executed by an authorized representative of the title company or an agreement to provide the same pursuant to binding escrow instructions executed by an authorized representative of the title company)) called for by clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (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 Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation (or certified by the applicable recorder’s office), as applicable; (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit (except as permitted under Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); 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 Defects described in clauses (a) through (f) above) 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 lender’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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller’s obligation in respect of a Material Defect with respect to the CX – 350 & 450 Water Street Mortgage Loan shall be solely in respect of the Seller’s pro rata share of the CX – 350 & 450 Water Street Mortgage Loan based on the Seller’s percentage interest as of the Cut-off Date in such Mortgage Loan.

If the Mortgage Note with respect to the CX – 350 & 450 Water Street Mortgage Loan in favor of the Seller and its successors and assigns is repurchased or replaced by the Seller pursuant to this Section 6(e), and any other related mortgage note evidencing the CX – 350 & 450 Water Street Mortgage Loan is not repurchased or replaced by GACC and such mortgage note remains in the Trust, then the Seller and the Purchaser hereby agree that (i) the provisions in Section 2.03(p) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern the servicing and administration of the CX – 350 & 450 Water Street Mortgage Loan as if (a) the remaining mortgage note in the Trust were a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and (b) the repurchased Mortgage Note were a Serviced Companion Loan and (ii) the Seller and its successors and assigns in respect of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Note shall be bound by such Section 2.03(p) as if it were a party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

-16- 

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan contributed to the Trust by the Seller, the Seller agrees that if a “Defect” (or analogous term) under, and as such term (or any analogous term) is defined in, the related Non-Serviced PSA exists with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan securitized under such Non-Serviced PSA and the Seller (or any other responsible repurchasing party) repurchases the related controlling Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the related Non-Serviced Trust, then the Seller shall also promptly repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Defect related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

If (i) any Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e), (ii) such Mortgage Loan is a Crossed Underlying Loan, and (iii) the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Defect shall be deemed to constitute a Material Defect as to each other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the Seller will be required to repurchase or substitute for all of the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan 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. The Seller shall be responsible for the cost of any Appraisal required to be obtained to determine if the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria have been satisfied, so long as the scope and cost of such Appraisal has been approved by the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

To the extent that the Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for a Crossed Underlying Loan hereunder in the manner prescribed above while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall enforce any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral, but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Crossed Underlying Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing Crossed Underlying Loans still held by the Trustee.

If the exercise of 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 the Seller and the Purchaser shall forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Crossed Underlying Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with this Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies or some other accommodation can be reached. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated between such Crossed Underlying Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Crossed Underlying Loan included in the Trust is modified to terminate the related cross-collateralization and/or cross-

-17- 

default provisions, as a condition to such modification, the Seller shall furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that any modification shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Any expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such modification or accommodation (including but not limited to recoverable attorney fees) shall be paid by the Seller.

(f)       In connection with any repurchase or substitution of one or more Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 6, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the repurchasing or substituting entity evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File, the Servicing File and other documents 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 repurchasing or substituting entity 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 therefor to the Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase or substitution, as the case may be, have been satisfied.

(g)       The representations and warranties of the parties hereto shall survive the execution and delivery and any termination of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination of the Mortgage Files.

(h)       Each party hereto agrees to promptly notify the other party of any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 6(c) of this Agreement. The Seller’s obligation to cure any Material Defect, to repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan, or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 6, shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a breach of any of the Seller’s representations or warranties contained in or made pursuant to Section 6(c) of this Agreement or a Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(i)        The Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser if (i) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request (other than from the Purchaser), (ii) the Seller repurchases or replaces a Mortgage Loan, (iii) the Seller 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”) (other than from the Purchaser) or (iv) the Seller rejects or disputes any Repurchase Request. Each such notice shall be given no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after (A) with respect to clauses (i) and (iii) of the preceding sentence, receipt of a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request or a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, as applicable, and (B) with respect to clauses (ii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence, the occurrence of the event giving rise to the requirement for such notice, and shall include (1) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (2) the date (x) such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase

-18- 

Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal was received, (y) the related Mortgage Loan was repurchased or replaced or (z) the Repurchase Request was rejected or disputed, as applicable, and (3) if known, the basis for (x) the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) or (y) any rejection or dispute of a Repurchase Request, as applicable.

The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator the Seller’s “Central Index Key” number assigned by the Securities and Exchange Commission and a true, correct and complete copy of the relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that the Seller is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Mortgage Loans on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days before the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligation shall not prohibit the Seller from filing a Form ABS-15G on or prior to the date on which such copy is provided to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator.

In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser, upon request, such other information in its possession as would permit the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act to disclose fulfilled and unfulfilled repurchase requests. Any such information requested shall be provided as promptly as practicable after such request is made.

The Seller agrees that no Person that is required to provide a 15Ga-1 Notice (a “15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) will be required to provide information in a 15Ga-1 Notice that is protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is so provided only to assist the Seller, the Depositor and 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 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 this Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

Each party hereto agrees that the receipt of a 15Ga-1 Notice or the delivery of any notice required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 6(i) shall not, in and of itself, constitute delivery of notice of, receipt of notice of, or knowledge of the Seller of, any Material Defect.

Each party hereto agrees and acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, the “Central Index Key” number of the Trust is 0001890702.

“Repurchase Communication” means, for purposes of this Section 6(i) only, any communication, whether oral or written, which need not be in any specific form.

(b)       The Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent it affects the obligations of the Seller hereunder), in such form as is agreed upon and acceptable to the Purchaser, the Seller, the Dealers and their respective counsel in their reasonable discretion, shall be duly executed and delivered by all signatories as required pursuant to the terms thereof.

-20- 

statements therein relating to the Seller, the Mortgage Loans, any related Companion Loan(s), the related Mortgagors or the related Mortgaged Properties, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (b) the information relating to the Mortgage Loans (including any related Whole Loan, including, without limitation, the servicing terms thereof if not serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including identification of the parties to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the related borrowers, the related Mortgaged Properties or the Seller and its affiliates (to the extent such affiliate is not a Dealer) in the Prospectus appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable requirements of Regulation AB.

The Seller hereby acknowledges its obligations pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller, the Purchaser and their permitted successors and assigns. Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller may become a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Seller, shall be the successor to the Seller hereunder without any further act. The warranties and representations and the agreements made by the Seller herein shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee until the termination of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, but shall not be further assigned by the Trustee to any Person.

(b) The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be an express third-party beneficiary of Sections 5(j), 5(k), 5(l) and 5(m) of this Agreement.

SECTION 17  Notices.   All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and (i) if sent to the Purchaser, will be mailed, hand delivered, couriered or sent by facsimile transmission or electronic mail to it at 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, Attn.: General Counsel, 2977 McFarlane Road, Suite 300, Miami, Florida 33133, e-mail: compliance@3650REIT.com, (ii) if sent to 3650 REIT: will be mailed, hand delivered, couriered or sent by facsimile transmission or electronic mail and confirmed to it at 3650 Real Estate Investment Trust 2 LLC, Attn.: General Counsel, 2977 McFarlane Road, Suite 300, Miami, Florida 33133, e-mail: compliance@3650REIT.com, (iii) if sent to any party other than the Purchaser or the Seller, will be mailed, hand delivered, couriered or sent by facsimile transmission or electronic mail to such party’s address provided in Section 13.05 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (iv) in the case of any of the preceding parties, such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the other party in writing by such parties.

SECTION 18  Amendment.   This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument which specifically refers to this Agreement and is executed by the Purchaser and the Seller. This Agreement shall not be deemed to be amended orally or by virtue of any continuing custom or practice.

-23- 

otherwise or (iii) any rights of the Seller as a third-party beneficiary of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be effective against the Seller unless the Seller shall have agreed to such amendment in writing.

SECTION 19  Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and the words “executed,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import as used above and elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this transaction shall include, in addition to manually executed signatures, images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, any electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

SECTION 20  Exercise of Rights.   No failure or delay on the part of any party to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between the Seller and the Purchaser shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Except as set forth in Section 6(h) of this Agreement, the rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any party would otherwise have pursuant to law or equity.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed as creating an agency relationship between the Purchaser and the Seller and neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall take any action which could reasonably lead a third party to assume that it has the authority to bind the other party or make commitments on such party’s behalf.

SECTION 22  Miscellaneous.   This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

(b)       In the event that any party to this Agreement that is a Covered Party or any BHC Affiliate of such party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, any Default Right under this Agreement that may be exercised against such party is permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Right could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime.

-25-

EXHIBIT B

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

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 portion of a whole loan evidenced by a Mortgage Note. 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 the Seller or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the trustee for the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust), 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. The 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.  Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (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 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.

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 practical

B-1

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 or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents (a) (1) there has been no forbearance, waiver or modification of the material terms of the Mortgage Loan which such forbearance, waiver or modification relates to the COVID-19 emergency and (2) other than as related to the COVID-19 emergency, 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 such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the Mortgagor nor the guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan.

5.  Hospitality Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise or license agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the related Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property that, subject to the applicable terms of such franchise or license agreement and comfort letter or similar agreement, is enforceable by the Trust (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust) against such franchisor or licensor either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the seller of the note which is contributed to the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust or its designee providing notice of the transfer of such note to the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust) in accordance with the terms of such executed comfort letter or similar agreement, which the Seller or its designee (except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) will provide, or if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Seller or its designee will apply for, on the Trust’s behalf, a new comfort letter or similar agreement as of the Closing Date. The mortgage or related security agreement for each Mortgage Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office. For the avoidance of doubt, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in revenues to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

6.  Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits to the Trust (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee) constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to the Trust (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits 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 leasehold

B-2

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 (7) set forth in Exhibit C (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 Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date to the 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 the 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 in this Agreement to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

7.  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 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 is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan or a Whole Loan or is part of a Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Whole Loan (each, a “Crossed Mortgage Loan”), the lien of the Mortgage for such other Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Crossed Mortgage Loan or with the Whole Loan of which such Crossed Mortgage Loan is a part, provided that none of which 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

B-3

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.

8.  Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Mortgage Loan, there are, as of origination, and to the 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 (6) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth in Exhibit B-31-1, the Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

9.  Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (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, Rents and Profits constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits 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, Rents and Profits, 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.

10.  UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, the Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been 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

B-4

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.

11.  Condition of Property. The 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 the 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) any damage or deficiency that is estimated to cost less than $50,000 to repair, (ii) any deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (iii) 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.

12. Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that 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.

13. Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to the 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.

14.  Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to the 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.

15.  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 the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in

B-5

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 the Seller to Purchaser or its servicer (or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the depositor or servicer for the related Non-Serviced Securitization Trust).

16.  No Holdbacks. The Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date of the Mortgage Loan set forth on the mortgage loan schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement 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 the Seller to merit such holdback).

17.  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 or insurers meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Ratings 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 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 (i) a claims paying or financial strength rating of any of the following; (a) at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company, (b) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or (c) at least “A-” from S&P Global Ratings or (ii) 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 (i) 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 Global Ratings or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least 75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (i) 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 Global Ratings or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

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).

B-6

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as-is generally required by the Seller originating mortgage loans for securitization.

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) 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures owned by the Mortgagor and included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the 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 either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, 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 or PML, as applicable, would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer or insurers meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (provided that for this purpose (only), the A.M. Best Company minimum rating referred to in the definition of Insurance Rating Requirements will be deemed to be at least “A:VIII”) in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if 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, if 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

B-7

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, the Non-Serviced Trustee for a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans. Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain, or cause to be maintained, all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by the Seller.

18.  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.

19.  No Encroachments. To the 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 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.

20.  No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) or an equity participation by the Seller.

B-8

21. REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3) (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 buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan, if applicable) 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, if applicable) 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. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a Mortgage Loan will not be considered “significantly modified” solely by reason of the borrower having been granted a COVID-19 related forbearance provided that: (a) such Mortgage Loan forbearance is covered by Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended by Revenue Procedure 2021-12) by reason of satisfying the requirements for such coverage stated in Section 5.02(2) of Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended by Revenue Procedure 2021-12); and (b) the Seller identifies such Mortgage Loan and provides (x) the date on which such forbearance was granted, (y) the length in months of the forbearance, and (z) how the payments in forbearance will be paid (that is, by extension of maturity, change of amortization schedule, etc.). 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 will have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

22. Compliance with Usury Laws. The Mortgage Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

23.  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.

B-9

24.  Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the 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.

25.  Local Law Compliance. To the 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 the Seller for similar commercial, multifamily or, if applicable, manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, with respect to 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) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which as the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or the inability to restore or repair to the full extent necessary to maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) are insured by law and ordinance insurance coverage in amounts customarily required by the Seller for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations or (iv) 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.

26.  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 the 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 the Seller for similar commercial, multifamily or, if applicable, manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

27.  Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that (a) the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related Mortgagor and/or its principals specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, which acts generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misapplication or misappropriation of rents (if after an event of default under the Mortgage Loan), insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste), and (iv) any breach of the environmental

B-10

covenants contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents, and (b) the Mortgage Loan shall become full recourse to the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity, if the related Mortgagor files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law.

28.  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 (33)), in each case, 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, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (33) 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 or taking by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof. With respect to any partial release (including in connection with any partial Defeasance) 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 Code Section 860G(a)(3)(A); 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 the real property that is in parity with the lien of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan, as applicable)) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or related 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 condemnation or 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 in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, condemnation proceeds may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced 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 the real property that is in parity with the lien of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan, as applicable)) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan, as applicable).

B-11

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 the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions.

29.  Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage Loan 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.

30.  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, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2019 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms or as otherwise indicated in Exhibit C; provided, however, that if TRIA 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 such time, 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.

31.  Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to the 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 

B-12

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 a Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (28) and (33) or the exceptions thereto set forth in this Exhibit C, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan (as set forth on Exhibit B-31-1), or future permitted mezzanine debt (as set forth on Exhibit B-31-2) or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion 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 Exhibit B-31-4 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.

32.  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 $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Crossed Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

33.  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

B-13

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 (A) the maturity date, (B) on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium or (C) if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the related 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 premium), 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; (iv) 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, (v) 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; (vi) 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 (vii) 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.

34.  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 an ARD Loan and situations where default interest is imposed.

35.  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 (IDA) 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 Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of the Seller, its successors and assigns, the 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

B-14

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 the 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 borrower or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(D)      The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any 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 to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

(F)      The Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and, to the 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 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 the Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization;

B-15

(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 subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(K)      In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, 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.

36.  Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans have been, in all respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.

37.  Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Seller (or the related originator if the Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit B.

38.  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, 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 the 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, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Seller in this Exhibit B. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event

B-16

of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

39.  Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and, to the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no related Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

40.  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, no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another Mortgagor under another Mortgage Loan. (An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (40) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.)

41. 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 either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint, or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the Cut-off Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter 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 is required); (D) a secured creditor environmental policy or a 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 Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings and/or Fitch Ratings, Inc.; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such 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

B-17

to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

42.  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/or has been licensed and certified to prepare appraisals in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. 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 and has certified that such appraiser had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and its compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan.

43.  Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by this Agreement to be contained therein.

44.  Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any mortgage loan that is outside the Trust, except (i) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, any other mortgage loan that is part of such Whole Loan and (ii) 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.

45.  Advance of Funds by the Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by the Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, and, to the 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 the 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 Closing Date.

46.  Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The 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 in connection with 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 “the Seller’s knowledge” or “the 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 the Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(b)      as to each Mortgage Loan, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii) (if recorded), (ix) and (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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, it shall forward to the Custodian a copy of the original certified by the Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording. The Seller shall cause each assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC financing statement assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above to 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 Seller or its designee, in which case the Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of the recorded 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 Purchaser (or the Custodian on its behalf) shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original.

1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage (as used herein, a “Qualified Mortgage”), the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Seller or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect or (y) receipt of notice of a discovery of such Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Seller, cure the same in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of any losses and additional trust fund expenses associated therewith) or, if such Material Defect cannot be cured within such 90 day period, the Seller shall either (i) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan 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 or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account; 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 Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within such 90 day period, then the 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 of the related Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as described above) it being understood and agreed that, in connection with the Seller’s receiving such additional 90 day period, the Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Holder setting forth the reasons such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the 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 the Seller to have received the recorded document, then the Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, substitution or repurchase obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as the Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master 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 the Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, substitution or repurchase may continue beyond the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. The Seller shall have no obligation to monitor the Mortgage Loans regarding the existence of a Breach or a Defect, but if the Seller discovers a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, it shall notify the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e), in lieu of the Seller performing its repurchase or substitution obligations with respect to any Material Defect provided in this Section 6(e), to the extent that the Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trust, and, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and only with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) are able to agree upon the Loss of Value Payment for a Material Defect, the Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser (or its

 -14-

assignee); provided that a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage Loan, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. Upon its making such payment, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Defect in all respects. Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such Material Defect, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or substitute the related Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Defect.

If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty to the effect 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 Seller shall not be required to repurchase or substitute such Mortgage Loan and the sole remedy with respect to any Breach of such representation shall be to 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 the basis of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) if such Mortgage Loan is or was a Delinquent Loan, the amount of any fees payable, without duplication, pursuant to Section 5(m) to the extent not previously paid by the Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if the Breach relates to the Huntsville Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall be responsible for 50.0% of all such costs and expenses unless such Breach relates solely to the Mortgage Note sold hereunder by the Seller; and provided, further, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses. If the Seller elects to pay such costs and expenses, the Seller shall remit the amount to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for disbursement to the applicable persons and upon its making such remittance, the 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 Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the Mortgagor shall be promptly returned to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or Section 2.03(g), as applicable, of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect on the part of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or in providing notice of such Material Defect will relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan unless (i) the Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than the Asset Representations Reviewer) to provide prompt notice as required by the terms hereof or of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (for the avoidance of doubt, knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iv) such delay precludes the Seller from curing such Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the 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,

 -15-

released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release in lieu of a repurchase does 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 Trust and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

Subject to the Seller’s right to cure set forth above in this Section 6(e), and further subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any of the following will cause a document in the Mortgage File that is required to be delivered by the Seller for any Mortgage Loan to be deemed to have a “Defect” that constitutes a Material Defect and to be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan (but solely with respect to clause (a)) and to be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan: (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 Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation (or certified by the applicable recorder’s office); (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the lender’s title insurance policy issued in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan (or, if such policy has not been issued or located, an irrevocable, binding commitment (which may be a marked version of the policy that has been executed by an authorized representative of the title company or an agreement to provide the same pursuant to binding escrow instructions executed by an authorized representative of the title company)) called for by clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (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 Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation (or certified by the applicable recorder’s office), as applicable; (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit (except as permitted under Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); 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 Defects described in clauses (a) through (f) above) 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 lender’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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller’s obligation in respect of a Material Defect with respect to the Huntsville Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan shall be solely in respect of the Seller’s pro rata share of the Huntsville Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan based on the Seller’s percentage interest as of the Cut-off Date in such Mortgage Loan.

 -16-

If the Mortgage Note with respect to the Huntsville Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan in favor of the Seller and its successors and assigns is repurchased or replaced by the Seller pursuant to this Section 6(e), and any other related mortgage note evidencing the Huntsville Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan is not repurchased or replaced by GACC and such mortgage note remains in the Trust, then the Seller and the Purchaser hereby agree that (i) the provisions in Section 2.03(p) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern the servicing and administration of the Huntsville Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan as if (a) the remaining mortgage note in the Trust were a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and (b) the repurchased Mortgage Note were a Serviced Companion Loan and (ii) the Seller and its successors and assigns in respect of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Note shall be bound by such Section 2.03(p) as if it were a party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan contributed to the Trust by the Seller, the Seller agrees that if a “Defect” (or analogous term) under, and as such term (or any analogous term) is defined in, the related Non-Serviced PSA exists with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan securitized under such Non-Serviced PSA and the Seller (or any other responsible repurchasing party) repurchases the related controlling Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the related Non-Serviced Trust, then the Seller shall also promptly repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Defect related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

If (i) any Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e), (ii) such Mortgage Loan is a Crossed Underlying Loan, and (iii) the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Defect shall be deemed to constitute a Material Defect as to each other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the Seller will be required to repurchase or substitute for all of the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan 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. The Seller shall be responsible for the cost of any Appraisal required to be obtained to determine if the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria have been satisfied, so long as the scope and cost of such Appraisal has been approved by the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

To the extent that the Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for a Crossed Underlying Loan hereunder in the manner prescribed above while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall enforce any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral, but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Crossed Underlying Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing Crossed Underlying Loans still held by the Trustee.

 -17-

If the exercise of 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 the Seller and the Purchaser shall forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Crossed Underlying Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with this Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies or some other accommodation can be reached. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated between such Crossed Underlying Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Crossed Underlying Loan included in the Trust is modified to terminate the related cross-collateralization and/or cross-default provisions, as a condition to such modification, the Seller shall furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that any modification shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Any expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such modification or accommodation (including but not limited to recoverable attorney fees) shall be paid by the Seller.

(f)      In connection with any repurchase or substitution of one or more Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 6, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the repurchasing or substituting entity evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File, the Servicing File and other documents 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 repurchasing or substituting entity 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 therefor to the Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase or substitution, as the case may be, have been satisfied.

(g)      The representations and warranties of the parties hereto shall survive the execution and delivery and any termination of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination of the Mortgage Files.

(h)      Each party hereto agrees to promptly notify the other party of any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 6(c) of this Agreement. The Seller’s obligation to cure any Material Defect, to repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan, or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 6, shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a breach of any of the Seller’s representations or warranties contained in or made pursuant to Section 6(c) of this Agreement or a Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

 -18-

(i)      The Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser if (i) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request (other than from the Purchaser), (ii) the Seller repurchases or replaces a Mortgage Loan, (iii) the Seller 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”) (other than from the Purchaser) or (iv) the Seller rejects or disputes any Repurchase Request. Each such notice shall be given no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after (A) with respect to clauses (i) and (iii) of the preceding sentence, receipt of a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request or a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, as applicable, and (B) with respect to clauses (ii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence, the occurrence of the event giving rise to the requirement for such notice, and shall include (1) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (2) the date (x) such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal was received, (y) the related Mortgage Loan was repurchased or replaced or (z) the Repurchase Request was rejected or disputed, as applicable, and (3) if known, the basis for (x) the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) or (y) any rejection or dispute of a Repurchase Request, as applicable.

The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator the Seller’s “Central Index Key” number assigned by the Securities and Exchange Commission and a true, correct and complete copy of the relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that the Seller is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Mortgage Loans on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days before the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligation shall not prohibit the Seller from filing a Form ABS-15G on or prior to the date on which such copy is provided to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator.

In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser, upon request, such other information in its possession as would permit the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act to disclose fulfilled and unfulfilled repurchase requests. Any such information requested shall be provided as promptly as practicable after such request is made.

The Seller agrees that no Person that is required to provide a 15Ga-1 Notice (a “15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) will be required to provide information in a 15Ga-1 Notice that is protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is so provided only to assist the Seller, the Depositor and 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 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 this Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

Each party hereto agrees that the receipt of a 15Ga-1 Notice or the delivery of any notice required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 6(i) shall not, in and of itself, constitute delivery of notice of, receipt of notice of, or knowledge of the Seller of, any Material Defect.

 -19-

Each party hereto agrees and acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, the “Central Index Key” number of the Trust is 0001890702.

“Repurchase Communication” means, for purposes of this Section 6(i) only, any communication, whether oral or written, which need not be in any specific form.

SECTION 7    Review of Mortgage File. The Purchaser shall require the Custodian pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and if it finds any document or documents not to have been properly executed, or to be missing or to be defective on its face in any material respect, to notify the Purchaser, which shall promptly notify the Seller.

SECTION 20 Exercise of Rights. No failure or delay on the part of any party to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between the Seller and the Purchaser shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Except as set forth in Section 6(h) of this Agreement, the rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any party would otherwise have pursuant to law or equity.

SECTION 22  Miscellaneous. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

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 portion of a whole loan evidenced by a Mortgage Note. 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 the Seller or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the trustee for the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust), 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. The 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.  Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (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 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.

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 practical 

B-1

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 or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents (a) (1) there has been no forbearance, waiver or modification of the material terms of the Mortgage Loan which such forbearance, waiver or modification relates to the COVID-19 emergency and (2) other than as related to the COVID-19 emergency, 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 such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the Mortgagor nor the guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan.

5.  Hospitality Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise or license agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the related Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property that, subject to the applicable terms of such franchise or license agreement and comfort letter or similar agreement, is enforceable by the Trust (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust) against such franchisor or licensor either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the seller of the note which is contributed to the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust or its designee providing notice of the transfer of such note to the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust) in accordance with the terms of such executed comfort letter or similar agreement, which the Seller or its designee (except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) will provide, or if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Seller or its designee will apply for, on the Trust’s behalf, a new comfort letter or similar agreement as of the Closing Date. The mortgage or related security agreement for each Mortgage Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office. For the avoidance of doubt, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in revenues to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

6.  Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits to the Trust (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee) constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to the Trust (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits 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 leasehold 

B-2

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 (7) set forth in Exhibit C (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 Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date to the 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 the 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 in this Agreement to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

7.  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 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 is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan or a Whole Loan or is part of a Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Whole Loan (each, a “Crossed Mortgage Loan”), the lien of the Mortgage for such other Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Crossed Mortgage Loan or with the Whole Loan of which such Crossed Mortgage Loan is a part, provided that none of which 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 

B-3

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.

8.  Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Mortgage Loan, there are, as of origination, and to the 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 (6) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth in Exhibit B-31-1, the Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

9.  Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (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, Rents and Profits constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits 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, Rents and Profits, 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.

10.  UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, the Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been 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 

B-4

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.

11.  Condition of Property. The 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 the 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) any damage or deficiency that is estimated to cost less than $50,000 to repair, (ii) any deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (iii) 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.

12. Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that 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.

13. Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to the 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.

14.  Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to the 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.

15.  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 the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in 

B-5

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 the Seller to Purchaser or its servicer (or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the depositor or servicer for the related Non-Serviced Securitization Trust).

16.  No Holdbacks. The Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date of the Mortgage Loan set forth on the mortgage loan schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement 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 the Seller to merit such holdback).

17.  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 or insurers meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Ratings 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 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 (i) a claims paying or financial strength rating of any of the following; (a) at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company, (b) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or (c) at least “A-” from S&P Global Ratings or (ii) 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 (i) 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 Global Ratings or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least 75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (i) 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 Global Ratings or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

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 the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as-is generally required by the Seller originating mortgage loans for securitization.

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) 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures owned by the Mortgagor and included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the 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 either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, 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 or PML, as applicable, would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer or insurers meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (provided that for this purpose (only), the A.M. Best Company minimum rating referred to in the definition of Insurance Rating Requirements will be deemed to be at least “A:VIII”) in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if 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, if 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 

B-7

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, the Non-Serviced Trustee for a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans. Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain, or cause to be maintained, all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by the Seller.

18.  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.

19.  No Encroachments. To the 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 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.

20.  No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) or an equity participation by the Seller. 

B-8

21. REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3) (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 buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan, if applicable) 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, if applicable) 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. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a Mortgage Loan will not be considered “significantly modified” solely by reason of the borrower having been granted a COVID-19 related forbearance provided that: (a) such Mortgage Loan forbearance is covered by Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended by Revenue Procedure 2021-12) by reason of satisfying the requirements for such coverage stated in Section 5.02(2) of Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended by Revenue Procedure 2021-12); and (b) the Seller identifies such Mortgage Loan and provides (x) the date on which such forbearance was granted, (y) the length in months of the forbearance, and (z) how the payments in forbearance will be paid (that is, by extension of maturity, change of amortization schedule, etc.). 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 will have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

22. Compliance with Usury Laws. The Mortgage Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

23.  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. 

B-9

24.  Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the 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.

25.  Local Law Compliance. To the 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 the Seller for similar commercial, multifamily or, if applicable, manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, with respect to 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) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which as the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or the inability to restore or repair to the full extent necessary to maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) are insured by law and ordinance insurance coverage in amounts customarily required by the Seller for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations or (iv) 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.

26.  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 the 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 the Seller for similar commercial, multifamily or, if applicable, manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

27.  Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that (a) the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related Mortgagor and/or its principals specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, which acts generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misapplication or misappropriation of rents (if after an event of default under the Mortgage Loan), insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste), and (iv) any breach of the environmental 

B-10

covenants contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents, and (b) the Mortgage Loan shall become full recourse to the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity, if the related Mortgagor files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law.

28.  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 (33)), in each case, 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, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (33) 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 or taking by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof. With respect to any partial release (including in connection with any partial Defeasance) 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 Code Section 860G(a)(3)(A); 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 the real property that is in parity with the lien of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan, as applicable)) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or related 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 condemnation or 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 in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, condemnation proceeds may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced 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 the real property that is in parity with the lien of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan, as applicable)) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan, as applicable). 

B-11

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 the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions.

29.  Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage Loan 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.

30.  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, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2019 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms or as otherwise indicated in Exhibit C; provided, however, that if TRIA 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 such time, 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.

31.  Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to the 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 

B-12

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 a Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (28) and (33) or the exceptions thereto set forth in this Exhibit C, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan (as set forth on Exhibit B-31-1), or future permitted mezzanine debt (as set forth on Exhibit B-31-2) or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion 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 Exhibit B-31-4 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.

32.  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 $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Crossed Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

33.  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 

B-13

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 (A) the maturity date, (B) on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium or (C) if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the related 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 premium), 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; (iv) 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, (v) 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; (vi) 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 (vii) 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.

34.  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 an ARD Loan and situations where default interest is imposed.

35.  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 (IDA) 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 Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of the Seller, its successors and assigns, the 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 

B-14

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 the 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 borrower or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(D)      The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any 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 to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

(F)      The Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and, to the 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 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 the Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization; 

B-15

(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 subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(K)      In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, 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.

36.  Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans have been, in all respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.

37.  Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Seller (or the related originator if the Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit B.

38.  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, 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 the 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, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Seller in this Exhibit B. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event 

B-16

of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

39.  Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and, to the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no related Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

40.  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, no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another Mortgagor under another Mortgage Loan. (An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (40) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.)

41. 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 either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint, or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the Cut-off Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter 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 is required); (D) a secured creditor environmental policy or a 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 Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings and/or Fitch Ratings, Inc.; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such 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 

B-17

to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

42.  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/or has been licensed and certified to prepare appraisals in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. 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 and has certified that such appraiser had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and its compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan.

43.  Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by this Agreement to be contained therein.

44.  Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any mortgage loan that is outside the Trust, except (i) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, any other mortgage loan that is part of such Whole Loan and (ii) 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.

45.  Advance of Funds by the Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by the Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, and, to the 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 the 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 Closing Date.

46.  Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The 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 in connection with 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 “the Seller’s knowledge” or “the 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 the Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(b)       as to each Mortgage Loan, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii) (if recorded), (ix) and (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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, it shall forward to the Custodian a copy of the original certified by the Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording. The Seller shall cause each assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC financing statement assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above to 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 Seller or its designee, in which case the Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of the recorded 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 Purchaser (or the Custodian on its behalf) shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original.

Prior to the date that a letter of credit with respect to any Mortgage Loan is transferred to the Master Servicer, the Seller will cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with effectuating a draw under such letter of credit as required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents;

additional 90 day period, the Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Holder setting forth the reasons such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the 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 the Seller to have received the recorded document, then the Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, substitution or repurchase obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as the Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master 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 the Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, substitution or repurchase may continue beyond the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. The Seller shall have no obligation to monitor the Mortgage Loans regarding the existence of a Breach or a Defect, but if the Seller discovers a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, it shall notify the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e), in lieu of the Seller performing its repurchase or substitution obligations with respect to any Material Defect provided in this Section 6(e), to the extent that the Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trust, and, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and only with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) are able to agree upon the Loss of Value Payment for a Material Defect, the Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser (or its assignee); provided that a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage Loan, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. Upon its making such payment, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Defect in all respects. Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such Material Defect, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or substitute the related Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Defect.

If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty to the effect 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 Seller shall not be required to repurchase or substitute such Mortgage Loan and the sole remedy with respect to any Breach of such representation shall be to 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 the basis of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) if such Mortgage Loan is or was a Delinquent Loan, the amount of any fees payable, without duplication, pursuant to Section 5(m) to the extent not previously paid by the Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset

-15-

Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if the Breach relates to the CX – 350 & 450 Water Street Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall be responsible for 32.1% of all such costs and expenses unless such Breach relates solely to the Mortgage Note sold hereunder by the Seller; and provided, further, however, that if the Breach relates to the Huntsville Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall be responsible for 50.0% of all such costs and expenses unless such Breach relates solely to the Mortgage Note sold hereunder by the Seller; and provided, further, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses. If the Seller elects to pay such costs and expenses, the Seller shall remit the amount to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for disbursement to the applicable persons and upon its making such remittance, the 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 Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the Mortgagor shall be promptly returned to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or Section 2.03(g), as applicable, of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect on the part of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or in providing notice of such Material Defect will relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan unless (i) the Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than the Asset Representations Reviewer) to provide prompt notice as required by the terms hereof or of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (for the avoidance of doubt, knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iv) such delay precludes the Seller from curing such Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the 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 Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release in lieu of a repurchase does 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 Trust and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

Subject to the Seller’s right to cure set forth above in this Section 6(e), and further subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any of the following will cause a document in the Mortgage File that is required to be delivered by the Seller for any Mortgage Loan to be deemed to have a “Defect” that constitutes a Material Defect and to be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan (but solely with respect to clause (a)) and to be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan: (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

-16-

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 Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation (or certified by the applicable recorder’s office); (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the lender’s title insurance policy issued in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan (or, if such policy has not been issued or located, an irrevocable, binding commitment (which may be a marked version of the policy that has been executed by an authorized representative of the title company or an agreement to provide the same pursuant to binding escrow instructions executed by an authorized representative of the title company)) called for by clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (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 Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation (or certified by the applicable recorder’s office), as applicable; (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit (except as permitted under Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); 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 Defects described in clauses (a) through (f) above) 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 lender’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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller’s obligation in respect of a Material Defect with respect to the CX – 350 & 450 Water Street Mortgage Loan shall be solely in respect of the Seller’s pro rata share of the CX – 350 & 450 Water Street Mortgage Loan based on the Seller’s percentage interest as of the Cut-off Date in such Mortgage Loan.

If the Mortgage Note with respect to the CX – 350 & 450 Water Street Mortgage Loan in favor of the Seller and its successors and assigns is repurchased or replaced by the Seller pursuant to this Section 6(e), and any other related mortgage note evidencing the CX – 350 & 450 Water Street Mortgage Loan is not repurchased or replaced by 3650 REIT and such mortgage note remains in the Trust, then the Seller and the Purchaser hereby agree that (i) the provisions in Section 2.03(p) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern the servicing and administration of the CX – 350 & 450 Water Street Mortgage Loan as if (a) the remaining mortgage note in the Trust were a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and (b) the repurchased Mortgage Note were a Serviced Companion Loan and (ii) the Seller and its successors and assigns in respect of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Note shall be bound by such Section 2.03(p) as if it were a party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller’s obligation in respect of a Material Defect with respect to the Huntsville Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan shall be solely

-17-

in respect of the Seller’s pro rata share of the Huntsville Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan based on the Seller’s percentage interest as of the Cut-off Date in such Mortgage Loan.

If the Mortgage Note with respect to the Huntsville Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan in favor of the Seller and its successors and assigns is repurchased or replaced by the Seller pursuant to this Section 6(e), and any other related mortgage note evidencing the Huntsville Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan is not repurchased or replaced by CREFI and such mortgage note remains in the Trust, then the Seller and the Purchaser hereby agree that (i) the provisions in Section 2.03(p) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern the servicing and administration of the Huntsville Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan as if (a) the remaining mortgage note in the Trust were a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and (b) the repurchased Mortgage Note were a Serviced Companion Loan and (ii) the Seller and its successors and assigns in respect of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Note shall be bound by such Section 2.03(p) as if it were a party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan contributed to the Trust by the Seller, the Seller agrees that if a “Defect” (or analogous term) under, and as such term (or any analogous term) is defined in, the related Non-Serviced PSA exists with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan securitized under such Non-Serviced PSA and the Seller (or any other responsible repurchasing party) repurchases the related controlling Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the related Non-Serviced Trust, then the Seller shall also promptly repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Defect related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

If (i) any Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e), (ii) such Mortgage Loan is a Crossed Underlying Loan, and (iii) the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Defect shall be deemed to constitute a Material Defect as to each other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the Seller will be required to repurchase or substitute for all of the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan 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. The Seller shall be responsible for the cost of any Appraisal required to be obtained to determine if the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria have been satisfied, so long as the scope and cost of such Appraisal has been approved by the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

To the extent that the Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for a Crossed Underlying Loan hereunder in the manner prescribed above while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall enforce any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral, but each is

-18-

permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Crossed Underlying Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing Crossed Underlying Loans still held by the Trustee.

If the exercise of 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 the Seller and the Purchaser shall forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Crossed Underlying Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with this Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies or some other accommodation can be reached. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated between such Crossed Underlying Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Crossed Underlying Loan included in the Trust is modified to terminate the related cross-collateralization and/or cross-default provisions, as a condition to such modification, the Seller shall furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that any modification shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Any expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such modification or accommodation (including but not limited to recoverable attorney fees) shall be paid by the Seller.

(f)       In connection with any repurchase or substitution of one or more Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 6, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the repurchasing or substituting entity evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File, the Servicing File and other documents 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 repurchasing or substituting entity 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 therefor to the Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase or substitution, as the case may be, have been satisfied.

(g)       The representations and warranties of the parties hereto shall survive the execution and delivery and any termination of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination of the Mortgage Files.

(h)       Each party hereto agrees to promptly notify the other party of any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 6(c) of this Agreement. The Seller’s obligation to cure any Material Defect, to repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan, or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 6, shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a breach of any of the Seller’s

-19-

representations or warranties contained in or made pursuant to Section 6(c) of this Agreement or a Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(i)        The Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser if (i) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request (other than from the Purchaser), (ii) the Seller repurchases or replaces a Mortgage Loan, (iii) the Seller 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”) (other than from the Purchaser) or (iv) the Seller rejects or disputes any Repurchase Request. Each such notice shall be given no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after (A) with respect to clauses (i) and (iii) of the preceding sentence, receipt of a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request or a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, as applicable, and (B) with respect to clauses (ii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence, the occurrence of the event giving rise to the requirement for such notice, and shall include (1) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (2) the date (x) such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal was received, (y) the related Mortgage Loan was repurchased or replaced or (z) the Repurchase Request was rejected or disputed, as applicable, and (3) if known, the basis for (x) the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) or (y) any rejection or dispute of a Repurchase Request, as applicable.

The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator the Seller’s “Central Index Key” number assigned by the Securities and Exchange Commission and a true, correct and complete copy of the relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that the Seller is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Mortgage Loans on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days before the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligation shall not prohibit the Seller from filing a Form ABS-15G on or prior to the date on which such copy is provided to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator.

In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser, upon request, such other information in its possession as would permit the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act to disclose fulfilled and unfulfilled repurchase requests. Any such information requested shall be provided as promptly as practicable after such request is made.

The Seller agrees that no Person that is required to provide a 15Ga-1 Notice (a “15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) will be required to provide information in a 15Ga-1 Notice that is protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is so provided only to assist the Seller, the Depositor and 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 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 this Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

-20-

Each party hereto agrees that the receipt of a 15Ga-1 Notice or the delivery of any notice required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 6(i) shall not, in and of itself, constitute delivery of notice of, receipt of notice of, or knowledge of the Seller of, any Material Defect.

Each party hereto agrees and acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, the “Central Index Key” number of the Trust is 0001890702.

“Repurchase Communication” means, for purposes of this Section 6(i) only, any communication, whether oral or written, which need not be in any specific form.

SECTION 7    Review of Mortgage File.   The Purchaser shall require the Custodian pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and if it finds any document or documents not to have been properly executed, or to be missing or to be defective on its face in any material respect, to notify the Purchaser, which shall promptly notify the Seller.

SECTION 8    Conditions to Closing.   The obligation of the Seller to sell the Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the Seller having received the consideration for the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 1 of this Agreement.

(b)       The Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent it affects the obligations of the Seller hereunder), in such form as is agreed upon and acceptable to the Purchaser, the Seller, the Dealers and their respective counsel in their reasonable discretion, shall be duly executed and delivered by all signatories as required pursuant to the terms thereof.

(a) The Seller hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser has, concurrently with the execution hereof, executed and delivered the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that, in connection therewith, it has assigned its rights hereunder to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Seller hereby acknowledges its obligations pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

EXHIBIT B

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

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 portion of a whole loan evidenced by a Mortgage Note. 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 the Seller or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the trustee for the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust), 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. The 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.    Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (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 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.

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 practical

 B-1

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 or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents (a) (1) there has been no forbearance, waiver or modification of the material terms of the Mortgage Loan which such forbearance, waiver or modification relates to the COVID-19 emergency and (2) other than as related to the COVID-19 emergency, 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 such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the Mortgagor nor the guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan.

5.    Hospitality Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise or license agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the related Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property that, subject to the applicable terms of such franchise or license agreement and comfort letter or similar agreement, is enforceable by the Trust (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust) against such franchisor or licensor either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the seller of the note which is contributed to the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust or its designee providing notice of the transfer of such note to the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust) in accordance with the terms of such executed comfort letter or similar agreement, which the Seller or its designee (except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) will provide, or if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Seller or its designee will apply for, on the Trust’s behalf, a new comfort letter or similar agreement as of the Closing Date. The mortgage or related security agreement for each Mortgage Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office. For the avoidance of doubt, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in revenues to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

6.    Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits to the Trust (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee) constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to the Trust (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits 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 leasehold

 B-2

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 (7) set forth in Exhibit C (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 Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date to the 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 the 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 in this Agreement to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

7.    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 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 is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan or a Whole Loan or is part of a Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Whole Loan (each, a “Crossed Mortgage Loan”), the lien of the Mortgage for such other Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Crossed Mortgage Loan or with the Whole Loan of which such Crossed Mortgage Loan is a part, provided that none of which 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

 B-3

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.

8.    Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Mortgage Loan, there are, as of origination, and to the 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 (6) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth in Exhibit B-31-1, the Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

9.    Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (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, Rents and Profits constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits 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, Rents and Profits, 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.

10.    UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, the Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been 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

 B-4

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.

11.    Condition of Property. The 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 the 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) any damage or deficiency that is estimated to cost less than $50,000 to repair, (ii) any deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (iii) 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.

12.  Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that 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.

13.  Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to the 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.

14.    Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to the 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.

15.    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 the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in

 B-5

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 the Seller to Purchaser or its servicer (or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the depositor or servicer for the related Non-Serviced Securitization Trust).

16.    No Holdbacks. The Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date of the Mortgage Loan set forth on the mortgage loan schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement 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 the Seller to merit such holdback).

17.    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 or insurers meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Ratings 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 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 (i) a claims paying or financial strength rating of any of the following; (a) at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company, (b) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or (c) at least “A-” from S&P Global Ratings or (ii) 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 (i) 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 Global Ratings or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least 75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (i) 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 Global Ratings or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

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).

 B-6

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as-is generally required by the Seller originating mortgage loans for securitization.

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) 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures owned by the Mortgagor and included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the 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 either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, 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 or PML, as applicable, would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer or insurers meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (provided that for this purpose (only), the A.M. Best Company minimum rating referred to in the definition of Insurance Rating Requirements will be deemed to be at least “A:VIII”) in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if 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, if 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

 B-7

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, the Non-Serviced Trustee for a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans. Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain, or cause to be maintained, all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by the Seller.

18.    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.

19.    No Encroachments. To the 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 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.

20.    No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) or an equity participation by the Seller.

 B-8

21.  REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3) (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 buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan, if applicable) 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, if applicable) 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. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a Mortgage Loan will not be considered “significantly modified” solely by reason of the borrower having been granted a COVID-19 related forbearance provided that: (a) such Mortgage Loan forbearance is covered by Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended by Revenue Procedure 2021-12) by reason of satisfying the requirements for such coverage stated in Section 5.02(2) of Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended by Revenue Procedure 2021-12); and (b) the Seller identifies such Mortgage Loan and provides (x) the date on which such forbearance was granted, (y) the length in months of the forbearance, and (z) how the payments in forbearance will be paid (that is, by extension of maturity, change of amortization schedule, etc.). 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 will have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

22.  Compliance with Usury Laws. The Mortgage Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

23.    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.

 B-9

24.    Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the 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.

25.    Local Law Compliance. To the 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 the Seller for similar commercial, multifamily or, if applicable, manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, with respect to 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) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which as the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or the inability to restore or repair to the full extent necessary to maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) are insured by law and ordinance insurance coverage in amounts customarily required by the Seller for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations or (iv) 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.

26.    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 the 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 the Seller for similar commercial, multifamily or, if applicable, manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

27.    Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that (a) the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related Mortgagor and/or its principals specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, which acts generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misapplication or misappropriation of rents (if after an event of default under the Mortgage Loan), insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste), and (iv) any breach of the environmental

 B-10

covenants contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents, and (b) the Mortgage Loan shall become full recourse to the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity, if the related Mortgagor files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law.

28.    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 (33)), in each case, 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, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (33) 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 or taking by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof. With respect to any partial release (including in connection with any partial Defeasance) 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 Code Section 860G(a)(3)(A); 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 the real property that is in parity with the lien of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan, as applicable)) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or related 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 condemnation or 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 in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, condemnation proceeds may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced 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 the real property that is in parity with the lien of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan, as applicable)) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan, as applicable).

 B-11

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 the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions.

29.    Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage Loan 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.

30.    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, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2019 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms or as otherwise indicated in Exhibit C; provided, however, that if TRIA 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 such time, 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.

31.    Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to the 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

 B-12

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 a Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (28) and (33) or the exceptions thereto set forth in this Exhibit C, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan (as set forth on Exhibit B-31-1), or future permitted mezzanine debt (as set forth on Exhibit B-31-2) or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion 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 Exhibit B-31-4 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.

32.    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 $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Crossed Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

33.    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

 B-13

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 (A) the maturity date, (B) on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium or (C) if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the related 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 premium), 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; (iv) 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, (v) 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; (vi) 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 (vii) 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.

34.    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 an ARD Loan and situations where default interest is imposed.

35.    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 (IDA) 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 Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of the Seller, its successors and assigns, the 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

 B-14

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 the 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 borrower or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(D)          The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any 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 to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

(F)          The Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and, to the 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 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 the 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 subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(K)          In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, 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.

36.    Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans have been, in all respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.

37.    Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Seller (or the related originator if the Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit B.

38.    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, 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 the 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, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Seller in this Exhibit B. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event

 B-16

of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

39.    Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and, to the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no related Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

40.    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, no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another Mortgagor under another Mortgage Loan. (An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (40) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.)

41.  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 either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint, or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the Cut-off Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter 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 is required); (D) a secured creditor environmental policy or a 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 Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings and/or Fitch Ratings, Inc.; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such 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

 B-17

to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

42.    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/or has been licensed and certified to prepare appraisals in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. 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 and has certified that such appraiser had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and its compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan.

43.    Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by this Agreement to be contained therein.

44.    Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any mortgage loan that is outside the Trust, except (i) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, any other mortgage loan that is part of such Whole Loan and (ii) 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.

45.    Advance of Funds by the Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by the Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, and, to the 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 the 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 Closing Date.

46.    Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The 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 in connection with 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 “the Seller’s knowledge” or “the 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 the Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(6) Lien; Valid Assignment	520 Almanor (Loan No. 4)	The sole tenant at the Mortgaged Property, Nokia Corp., has a right of first offer to purchase the Mortgaged Property in the event of a proposed sale of the Mortgaged Property to a third party. The right of first offer has been subordinated to the Mortgage Loan documents and does not apply to a transfer of the Mortgaged Property in connection with a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The ground lessee/borrower has a right to negotiate to purchase the fee interest in the event of a proposed sale of the land to a third party. The right of first offer does not apply to any transfer or sale of all or part of the land to a permitted sale party pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, including in connection with a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. Subject to ground lessee’s right to negotiate described above, the ground lessee has an ongoing right of first offer to purchase the fee interest in the event of a proposed sale of the land or any part of it to a third party other than a permitted sale party pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents for less than 95% of the purchase price that the ground lessor offered to the ground lessee pursuant to the ground lessee’s right to negotiate. The Mortgage Loan documents permit the Mortgagor to acquire the fee estate provided that certain terms and conditions in the Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied.
Lien; Valid Assignment (6)	Huntsville Office Portfolio (Loan No. 6)	The sole tenant at the 301 Voyager Way Mortgaged Property, Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems, has a right of first refusal and right of first offer to purchase the 301 Voyager Way Mortgaged Property upon the borrower’s receipt of a bona fide offer from a third party to purchase such Mortgaged Property or in the event that the borrower decides to market such Mortgaged Property for sale.  Pursuant to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement executed in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, such right of first refusal and right of first offer will not apply to a transfer of the Mortgaged Property in connection with a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or similar action in respect of such Mortgaged Property but will apply to any subsequent transfer of such Mortgaged Property.

Best) (“Otherwise Rated Insurers”), provided that if the current A.M. Best rating of any such Otherwise Rated Insurer is withdrawn or downgraded, the Mortgagor is required to replace the Otherwise Rated Insurers with either (1) insurance companies meeting the A.M. Best rating requirements or (2) insurance companies that do not meet the rating requirements but which the lender has approved in writing and for which lender has received a rating agency confirmation. The business interruption/rental loss maintained by or for the benefit of the Mortgagor must (a) cover a period of restoration of 18 months and contain an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of six months from the date that the Mortgaged Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (b) be in an amount equal to 100% of the projected gross revenue from the Mortgaged Property (less non-continuing expenses) for a period of 12 months.
(17) Insurance	One SoHo Square (Loan No. 15)	The threshold above which the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) has the right to hold and disburse insurance proceeds is $45,000,000, which is above 5% of the outstanding principal amount of the related Whole Loan. The Mortgage Loan documents permit the Mortgagor to maintain a portion of the insurance coverage required by the Mortgage Loan documents with Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company (“HSB”), provided that HSB maintains a rating of “A:X” or better by AM Best.
(18) Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots	CX – 350 & 450 Water Street (Loan No. 1)	As there is active construction ongoing at the Mortgaged Property, utilities may not currently be located in the rights-of-way abutting the Mortgaged Property or in an easement for the benefit of the Mortgaged Property or connected so as to serve the Mortgaged Property without passing over other property absent a valid recorded irrevocable easement.

		remove (or cause to be removed) of record all zoning violations within 60 days from the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within 60 days of the date the Mortgagors become aware of a zoning violation, however, such 60 day period will be extended for such additional period of time as is reasonable required for the Mortgagors to remove (or cause to be removed) all of the zoning violations of record if the Mortgagors use diligent, commercial reasonable efforts to remove all of the zoning violations of record (and provide status and progress thereof) prior to and after the expiration of such 60 day period.
(26) Licenses and Permits	CX – 350 & 450 Water Street (Loan No. 1)	The two building parcels comprising the Mortgaged Properties are currently undergoing active construction and no certificates of occupancy (temporary or otherwise) will be issued until such construction is complete.
(26) Licenses and Permits	Farrell Hampton Portfolio (Loan No. 23)	4, 6, 10 Sherrill Fosters Path – The properties located at 4, 6 and 10 Sherrill Fosters Path are located in a commercial zoning district. The residential use requires a special use permit. As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, no special use permit has been received. Additionally, the base building certificate of occupancy or certificates of occupancy for the tenants have not been issued. The Mortgage Property is currently occupied by both office and residential tenants under leases that require compliance with applicable laws, including a certificate of occupancy. Farrell Medical Plaza - 6144 Rt 25A – As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagors were in possession of the base building certificate of occupancy, 14 of the existing tenants did not have current certificates of occupancy. It is considered a violation to not have the certificates of occupancy on file. The borrower sponsor provided proof that application has been made to obtain the issuance of the certificates of occupancy. 97 North Sea Road – As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagors were in possession of the base building certificate of occupancy, but not the certificates of occupancy for various tenants. The Mortgagors are required to cause all things necessary to be done to cure and remove (or cause to be removed) of record all zoning violations within 60 days from the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within 60 days of the date the Mortgagors become aware of a zoning violation, however, such 60 day period will be extended for such additional period of time as is reasonable required for the Mortgagors to remove (or cause to be removed) all of the zoning violations of record if the Mortgagors use diligent, commercial reasonable efforts to remove all of the zoning violations of record (and provide status and progress thereof) prior to and after the expiration of such 60 day period.

(27) Recourse Obligations	One SoHo Square (Loan No. 15)	The liability of the related non-recourse carveout guarantor for any bankruptcy-related recourse events is subject to a cap of 10% of the then outstanding principal balance of the related Whole Loan.  In addition, there is no separate non-recourse carve-out for losses associated with breaches of the environmental covenants contained in the Mortgage Loan documents, provided, however, that the guarantor did enter into a separate environmental indemnity agreement.
(27) Recourse Obligations	All GACC Mortgage Loans	In most cases, the Mortgage Loans being sold by German American Capital Corporation do not provide for recourse for misapplication of rents, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards.
(28) Mortgage Releases	CX – 350 & 450 Water Street (Loan No. 1)	Upon satisfying certain conditions, the Mortgagors may release a Mortgaged Property by prepaying or defeasing an amount equal to (i) 110% of the allocated loan amount for the released 350 Water Street building and (ii) 105% of the allocated loan amount of the released 450 Water Street building.
