This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated and effective as of February 1, 2022, between J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, KeyBank National Association, as Special Servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

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

In addition, the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the entitlement to Excess Interest and amounts in the Excess Interest Distribution Account will be treated as a grantor trust (the “Grantor Trust”) for federal income tax purposes, and the Class S Certificates and the VRR Interest shall 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.

The Depositor intends to (i) sell the Certificates (other than the Class A-2A1 Certificates and Class RR Certificates) to the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers, (ii) cause a portion of the RR Interest to be owned on the Closing Date by JPMCB, (iii) cause a portion of the RR Interest to be owned on the Closing Date by GS Bank (or its Majority-Owned Affiliate), (iv) cause a portion of the Class RR Certificates to be owned on the Closing Date by DBRI (or its Majority-Owned Affiliate) and (v) cause a portion of the Class RR Certificates to be owned on the Closing Date by CREFI (or its Majority-Owned Affiliate).

LOWER-TIER REMIC

The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of the entitlement to Excess Interest and amounts in the Excess Interest Distribution Account) and will issue the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LA2A1, Class LA3, Class LA4, Class LA5, Class LASB, Class LAS, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LG, Class LH, Class LJ, Class LK 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 and is represented by the Class R Certificates.

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

Class Designation	Interest Rate	Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount
Class LA1	⁽¹⁾	$	6,410,000
Class LA2	⁽¹⁾	$	162,053,000
Class LA2A1	⁽¹⁾	$	265,000,000
Class LA3	⁽¹⁾	$	253,574,000
Class LA4	⁽¹⁾	$	92,000,000
Class LA5	⁽¹⁾	$	383,182,000
Class LASB	⁽¹⁾	$	18,046,000
Class LAS	⁽¹⁾	$	179,147,000
Class LB	⁽¹⁾	$	82,197,000
Class LC	⁽¹⁾	$	69,551,000
Class LD	⁽¹⁾	$	44,260,000
Class LE	⁽¹⁾	$	21,076,000
Class LF	⁽¹⁾	$	18,969,000
Class LG	⁽¹⁾	$	18,968,000
Class LH	⁽¹⁾	$	16,861,000
Class LJ	⁽¹⁾	$	16,861,000
Class LK	⁽¹⁾	$	37,937,940
Class LR	None⁽²⁾	None⁽²⁾
Class LRR	⁽¹⁾	$	37,252,097
LRI	⁽¹⁾	$	51,489,637

⁽¹⁾

The interest rate for each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests on any Distribution Date will be the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for such Distribution Date.

⁽²⁾

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

⁽³⁾

The Class LRR Uncertificated Interest (evidenced by the Class RR Certificates) will have an original principal balance equal to (a) the VRR Percentage minus the RRI Percentage, multiplied by (b) the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

⁽⁴⁾

The LRI Uncertificated Interest will have an original principal balance equal to the RRI Percentage multiplied by the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

UPPER-TIER REMIC

The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and will issue (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-2A1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-FG, Class X-H, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J and Class K Certificates, and (ii) the regular interests that correspond in the aggregate to the VRR Interest (in the case of the Class RR Certificates and the RR Interest, excluding the right to receive Excess Interest) (together, the

“VRR REMIC Regular Interests”), each of which represents a “regular interest” in the Upper Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Upper-Tier REMIC regular interests will have the same Pass-Through Rates as their corresponding Certificates and the same original principal amounts or notional amounts as the original certificate balance or notional amount of their corresponding Certificates as shown on the “Certificates” table, below.

The Upper-Tier REMIC also will issue the uncertificated Class UR Interest, which is the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and is represented by the Class R Certificates. The Class UR Interest will not have a Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, will not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges. Any Available Funds remaining in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account after all required distributions under this Agreement have been made to each Class of Regular Certificates and the VRR Interest will be deemed distributed to the Class UR Interest and shall be payable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates.

The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of the entitlement to Excess Interest and amounts in the Excess Interest Distribution Account) to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC regular interest, without creating any shortfall, actual or potential (other than for credit losses), to any REMIC regular interest. 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 13.01 of this Agreement.

The beneficial interests in the Grantor Trust will be represented by the Class S Certificates, which will not have Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts, and will not bear interest or be entitled to distributions of Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges, and the VRR Interest.

the Master Servicer shall deliver to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer under the Non-Serviced PSA), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon, and may be conclusively relied upon by, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such P&I Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if any Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with a securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan determines that a P&I 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-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, Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall 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(s), 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 and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses, (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries, (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, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance and (e) with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, any non-recoverability determination of the Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee under the related Non-Serviced PSA relating to a principal and interest advance for a Non-Serviced Companion Loan. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable

Advance, shall 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, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer because there is insufficient principal available for such recovery, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the P&I Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination (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 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 the case may be, that a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance has been made or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an 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). The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal of the related Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property). The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.

“Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance”: Any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Whole Loan or REO Property which, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, will not be ultimately recoverable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at the Reimbursement Rate, from Late

Collections or any other recovery on or in respect of such Mortgage Loan, Whole Loan or REO Property. In making such recoverability determination, such Person shall 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 or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, the Special 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, shall 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, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Servicing Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain, promptly upon request, from the Special Servicer at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination (and, upon the reasonable request by the Trustee, Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver any relevant Appraisals or market value estimates in its possession to the requesting party for such purpose). Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance has been made or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either of the Special Servicer or Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan)

(and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer and Other Trustee), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer); provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan), in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder) 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, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the applicable master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the related Non-Serviced Master), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination (other than by the Special Servicer) may be conclusively relied upon by, but shall not be binding upon, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, and any such determination by the Special Servicer shall be conclusive and binding upon, and may be conclusively relied upon by, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Servicing Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or related Mortgaged Property). The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided, however, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances other than emergency advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). In the case of a

cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan. The determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be made by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA.

If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage Note, the delivery requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon such Mortgage Loan Seller’s delivery of a copy or duplicate original of such Mortgage Note, together with an affidavit certifying that the original thereof has been lost or destroyed and indemnifying the Trustee and the Trust. If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller

130

cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (vii), and (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or, if applicable, a copy thereof) with evidence of filing or recording thereon (if intended to be recorded or filed), solely because of a delay caused by the public filing or recording office where such document or instrument has been delivered, or will be delivered within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing Date, for filing or recordation, the delivery requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied on a provisional basis as of the Closing Date as to such non-delivered document or instrument, and such non-delivered document or instrument shall be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File, if a duplicate original or a photocopy of such non-delivered document or instrument (certified by the applicable public filing or recording office, the applicable title insurance company or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted or to be submitted for filing or recording) is delivered to the Custodian on or before the 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), (iii), (iv), (vii), and (ix) (or, if applicable, a copy thereof) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” with evidence of filing or recording thereon, 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 shall in any way be liable for any failure by any Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor to comply with the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b). If, on the Closing Date as to any Mortgage Loan, subject to the next sentence, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to, but cannot, deliver (in complete and recordable form or form suitable for filing or recording, if applicable) any one of the assignments in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iii), clause (v) (to the extent not already assigned pursuant to clause (iii)), clause (x) (to the extent not already assigned pursuant to clause (iii)) or clause (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File” solely because of the unavailability of filing or recording information as to any existing document or instrument, such

131

Mortgage Loan Seller may provisionally satisfy the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) with respect to such assignment by delivering with respect to such Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date an omnibus assignment of such Mortgage Loan substantially in the form of Exhibit H; provided that all required original assignments with respect to such Mortgage Loan (in fully complete and recordable form or form suitable for filing or recording, if applicable) are delivered to the Custodian within one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (or within such longer period, not to exceed eighteen (18) months, which the Custodian shall consent to so long as the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is, as certified in writing to the Trustee and the Custodian no less often than every ninety (90) days following such 180–day period after the Closing Date, attempting in good faith to obtain from the appropriate public filing office or county recorder’s office the applicable filing or recording information as to the related document or instrument); and provided, further, that in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the delivery of any such assignments shall be subject to clause (e) of the 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) of this Agreement, 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 (ix) 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) of this Agreement. 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 Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the registered holders of Benchmark 2022-B32 Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2022-B32, and the RR Interest Owners”), 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) 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 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

132

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 as provided in Section 2.01(b). Except under the circumstances provided for in the last sentence of this subsection (c) and except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller will itself, or a third party at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense will, promptly (and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date and the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s actual receipt of the related documents and the necessary recording and filing information) cause to be submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as appropriate, each Assignment. Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect that it (or a file copy thereof in the case of a UCC Assignment) should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following recording or filing (or to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent who will then be responsible for delivery of the same to the Custodian or its designee). Any such Assignment received by the Custodian shall be promptly included in the related Mortgage File and be deemed a part thereof, and any such Assignment received by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent shall be required to be delivered to the Custodian to be included as part of the related Mortgage File within thirty (30) days after receipt. If any such document or instrument is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the recording or filing requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is to be recorded or filed, or is lost by the public office or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, on or about one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall prepare, at its own expense, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall, at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate. If, by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian has not received confirmation of the recording or filing as the case may be, of any such Assignment, it shall so advise the related Mortgage Loan Seller who may then pursue such confirmation itself or request that the Custodian pursue such confirmation at the related

133

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. In the event that confirmation of the recording or filing of an Assignment cannot be obtained, the Custodian or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, shall promptly inform the other and the Custodian shall provide such Mortgage Loan Seller with a copy of the Assignment and request the preparation of a new Assignment. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the expenses for the preparation of replacement Assignments for any Assignments which, having been properly submitted for filing or recording to the appropriate governmental office by the Custodian, fail to appear of record and must be resubmitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no requirement to record any assignment to the Trustee referred to in clause (iii) or (v) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” or to file any UCC-3 to the Trustee referred to in clause (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” in those jurisdictions where, in the written opinion of local counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller) acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee, such recordation and/or filing is not required to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan, against sale, further assignment, satisfaction or discharge by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the Depositor.

(d) All documents and records in the Depositor’s or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s possession relating to the Mortgage Loans (including, in 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 as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion Holder. Such documents and records shall be any documents and records (with the exception of any items excluded under the immediately preceding sentence) that would otherwise be a part of the Servicing File.

(e) In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, on or before two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date, a fully executed original counterpart of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, as in full force and effect, without amendment or modification, on the Closing Date.

134

(f) The Depositor shall use its reasonable best efforts to require that, promptly after the Closing Date, but in all events within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, each of the Mortgage Loan Sellers shall cause all funds on deposit in escrow accounts maintained with respect to the Mortgage Loans transferred by such Mortgage Loan Seller, whether such accounts are held in the name of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any other name, to be transferred to the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer) for deposit into Servicing Accounts.

(g) With respect to the Franchise Required Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee will be required to provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor (with a copy of such notice or request to the Master Servicer) within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), and the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to acquire any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter).

(h) Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall provide that within sixty (60) days of 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 Intralinks 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 (with a copy via email to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor at the email addresses set forth in this Agreement) an officer’s certificate to the address set forth in Section 13.05, signed by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller certifying that the electronic copies of the documents and information uploaded to the Intralinks Site constitute all documents and information required under the definition of “Diligence File” (the “Diligence File Certification”), which shall be organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and shall provide the Master Servicer and Special Servicer with access to the Intralinks Site.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01 or in Section 2.02, in connection with a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, (1) instruments of assignment to the Trustee may be in blank and need not be recorded pursuant to this Agreement (other than the endorsements to the Note(s) evidencing the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) until the earlier of (i) the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, in which case such instruments shall be assigned and recorded in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA, (ii) 180 days following the Closing Date, and (iii) such Servicing Shift Whole Loan becoming a Specially Serviced Loan prior to such Servicing Shift Securitization Date, in which case assignments and recordations shall be effected in accordance with this Section 2.01 until the occurrence, if any, of such Servicing Shift Securitization Date, (2) no letter of credit need be amended (including, without limitation, to change the beneficiary thereon) until the earlier of (i) the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, in which case such amendment shall be in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA, (ii) 180 days following the Closing Date, and (iii) such Servicing Shift Whole Loan becoming a Specially Serviced Loan prior to such Servicing Shift Securitization

135

Date in which case such amendment shall be effected in accordance with the 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, 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 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.

(j) On or before the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver the Initial Schedule AL File in EDGAR-Compatible Format and Excel format, the Initial Schedule AL Additional File in EDGAR-Compatible Format and Excel format and Annex A-1 to the Prospectus in EDGAR-Compatible Format and Excel format to the Master Servicer at NoticeAdmin@midlandls.com.

(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.

Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee. (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 (b) that it holds and will hold such other assets included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the

136

exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owners, with respect to any original 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.

(b) Within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, 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 Certificateholder (so long as no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and only with respect to Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full)) that, except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing (the “Custodial Exception Report”), (i) subject to the final proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01 hereof, 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 (e), (f) and (h) 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 attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any related Mortgage Loan as to which a Liquidation Event has occurred) or any related Mortgage Loan specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing) that, (i) subject to the final proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01 hereof, 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

137

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 (e), (f) and (h) in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02 and Section 2.03(b) to the contrary, in the case of a Material Defect in any of the documents specified in clauses (ii) through (v), (vii), (viii) and (ix) in the definition of “Mortgage File”, which Material Defect results solely from a delay in the return of the related documents from the applicable filing or recording office and gives rise to a repurchase or substitution obligation on the part of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Directing Certificateholder, in its sole judgment, may (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan and, with respect to any other Mortgage Loan, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event), and the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller in lieu of repurchasing or substituting for the related Mortgage Loan, to deposit with the Master Servicer an amount, to be held in trust in a segregated Eligible Account (which may be a sub-account of the Collection Account), equal to 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (in the alternative, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver to the Master Servicer a letter of credit in such amount, with a copy to the Custodian). Such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall be held by the Master Servicer (i) until the date on which the Custodian determines and notifies the Master Servicer that such Material Defect has been cured or the related Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, at which time the Master Servicer shall return such funds (or letter of credit) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or (ii) until same are applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable) as set forth below in this Section 2.02(d) in the event of a repurchase or substitution by the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Notwithstanding the two 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 shall not be required to repurchase the Mortgage Loan for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice to repurchase (together with any applicable extension period) if it is attempting to recover the document from the applicable filing or recording office and provides an officer’s certificate setting forth what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with such recovery. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, upon the date of such repurchase or substitution, and in the event that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered a letter of credit to the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.02(d), the Master Servicer shall, to the extent necessary, draw on the letter of credit and deposit the

138

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

(e) It is herein acknowledged that neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any of the documents specified in clauses (vi), (vii) and (xii) through (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers or any other Person (unless identified on the Mortgage Loan Checklist) or (ii) to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, duly authorized, sufficient to perfect and maintain the perfection of a security interest or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face and, with respect to the documents specified in clause (viii) of the definition of the “Mortgage File”, whether the insurance is effective as of the date of the recordation, whether all endorsements or riders issued are included in the file or if the policy has not been issued whether any acceptable replacement document has been dated the date of the related Mortgage Loan funding. Further, with respect to the UCC Financing Statements referenced in the Mortgage File, absent actual knowledge to the contrary or copies of UCC Financing Statements delivered to the Custodian as part of the Mortgage File indicating otherwise, the Custodian may assume, for the purposes of the filings and the certification to be delivered in accordance with this Section 2.02 that the related Mortgage File should include one 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 that is required to be delivered by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (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

139

corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or (4) to be defective on its face (each, a “Defect” in the related Mortgage File), the Custodian shall promptly so notify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (and in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date and every calendar quarter thereafter until all Defects are corrected) by providing a Custodial Exception Report setting forth for each affected Mortgage Loan, with particularity, the nature of such Defect (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and such Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were delivered by such Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for recording or filing and have not been returned by the recorder’s office or filing office).

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 and recordation of its respective Mortgage Loan documents until the assignment and recordation of all such Mortgage Loan documents has been completed.

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

Each 15Ga-1 Notice shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date the 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) and (iv) a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.

A Repurchase Request Recipient shall not be required to provide any information in a 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements will provide that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) is so provided only to assist the Mortgage Loan Sellers and Depositor or their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii) (A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Repurchase Request Recipient and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) by a Repurchase Request Recipient, shall

140

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.

In the event that 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 Benchmark 2022-B32 Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2022-B32 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 of this Agreement in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.

If the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives notice or has knowledge of a withdrawal or a rejection of a 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.

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

Section 2.03 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Depositor; Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans for Defects in Mortgage Files and Breaches of Representations and Warranties. (a) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that:

(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;

(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) After its receipt of a Repurchase Request, the Master Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), as applicable, shall request in writing that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than ninety (90) days following the earlier of (i) such Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery of any Material Defect, (ii) such Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of notice of any Material Defect from any party to this Agreement or (iii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, the earlier of (x) the discovery of any Material Defect by any party to this Agreement or (y) receipt of a notice of any Material Defect by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (such 90-day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to this Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage

142

Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable) (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted)) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach 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 Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) 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 Master Servicer (in the case of Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Loans) on behalf of the Trust (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan or a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, with the consent of the Directing

143

Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(g) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall determine the amount of any applicable Loss of Value Payment (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan and for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and, in the case of any PSA Party Repurchase Request with respect to Non-Specially Serviced 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 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 Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan(s), either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to the extent set forth in Section 3.19 in order to permit the Special Servicer to calculate the Loss of Value Payment as set forth in this Section 2.03(b). The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trust, provided that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement, nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in 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.

With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if a “material document defect” 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, and if the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (or other responsibly party) repurchases the Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the related Non-Serviced Trust, 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 “material document defect” related to the promissory note for the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

144

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) the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset 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, 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 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 the discovery of a Material Defect shall relieve the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller of its obligation to repurchase 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, 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 or failure to provide notice precludes such Mortgage Loan Seller from curing such Material Defect.

145

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, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a borrower), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.

Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, if there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan (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 repurchase would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event 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: (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for by clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (e) the absence from 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

146

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, fails to produce a copy of the document with respect to which the Defect exists within a reasonable period after receiving such notice or otherwise establish that the original or copy, as applicable, of such document has been delivered, in compliance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, to the custodian under the related Non-Serviced PSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of executed escrow instructions or a binding commitment to issue a lender’s title insurance policy, as provided in clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein, in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender’s title insurance, shall not be considered a Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy is delivered to the Custodian not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise complied with its document delivery requirements under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Custodian has acknowledged receipt pursuant to Section 2.02 above of a document that is part of the Mortgage File or a Mortgage Loan Seller can otherwise prove delivery of the document, and the Custodian subsequently loses a document, the fact that such document is lost may not be utilized as the basis for a claim of a Material Defect against a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 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 hereof.

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

(f) The Enforcing Servicer shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), enforce the

147

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 Enforcing 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 Enforcing Servicer shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, from a specific recovery, if any, of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; second, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vii) herein out of the related Purchase Price, to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and third, if at the conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clauses first and second are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(viii) herein out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account. Any costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees related to a repurchase of a Companion Loan shall be paid pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement or pursuant to the documents related to an Other Securitization, if applicable.

(g) If a Mortgage Loan Seller incurs any expense in connection with the curing of a Breach that constitutes a Material Defect, which also constitutes a default under the related Mortgage Loan and is reimbursable thereunder, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have a right, and shall be subrogated to the rights of the Trustee and the Trust under the Mortgage Loan to recover the amount of such expenses from the related Mortgagor; provided, 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

148

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 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(h) and Section 2.03(i), all other terms of the related Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect without any modification thereof.

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

(j) With respect to any Crossed Underlying Loan, to the extent that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for such Crossed Underlying Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 2.03(h) or Section 2.03(i) while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the 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) 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 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. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall then promptly forward it to the related Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement and take the actions required under Section 2.03(b). Subject to Section 2.03(l), the Enforcing Servicer shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to a Certificateholder Repurchase Request.

(ii) In the event that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator 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 Enforcing Servicer will be required to promptly send the PSA Party Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Prior to the occurrence of a Resolution Failure, the Enforcing Servicer shall act as the Enforcing Party and enforce the rights of the Trust against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to a PSA Party Repurchase Request. If a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a 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 applicable 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.

(l) (i) 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 Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, in each case, related to a Non-Specially Serviced 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 PSA Party Repurchase Request. The Master Servicer will also be required to 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 Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan(s), either in the Master Servicer’s possession

150

or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to the extent set forth in Section 3.19. Upon receipt of such Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice and such Servicing File and other material, the Special Servicer shall become the Enforcing Servicer with respect to such PSA Party Repurchase Request.

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, at the address specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator will be required to make the Proposed Course of Action Notice available to all other Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners 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 (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 Certificateholder regarding any Proposed Course of Action.

Such Proposed Course of Action 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 after 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 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 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 Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices and Final Dispute Resolution Election Notices,

(c) a statement that the 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

151

(e) instructions for the responding Certificateholders to send their responses to the applicable Enforcing Servicer and the Certificate Administrator.

Within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the 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 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 the 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 the Certificateholders’ 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 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 (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 or 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 of 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

152

Owner shall have the right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer shall be the sole party entitled to determine a course of action, including, but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08.

For the avoidance of doubt, no party other than the Enforcing Servicer shall be obligated or entitled to exercise such rights.

(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”; provided that a Holder of the Class RR Certificates may not be a Requesting Certificateholder), the Enforcing Servicer shall consult with each Requesting Certificateholder regarding such Requesting Certificateholder’s intention to elect either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Certificateholder may consider the views of the Enforcing Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date. The Enforcing Servicer shall be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems in good faith to be 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 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, RR Interest Owner 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 are more than one Requesting Certificateholder that timely deliver a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders shall collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders shall be entitled to make all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration. If, however, no Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement within thirty (30) days

153

after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then (i) the rights of a Requesting Certificateholder to act as the Enforcing Party shall terminate and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer shall take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Material Defect shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Material Defect shall not be deemed waived with respect 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 or that should have been known to such party with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time when the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Enforcing Servicer shall again become the Enforcing Party and, as such, shall be the sole party entitled to determine a course of action, including, but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

For the avoidance of doubt, no party other than the Enforcing Servicer shall be obligated or entitled to exercise such rights.

(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 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 Certificateholder becomes the Enforcing Party, the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall remain a party to any proceedings against the related Mortgage Loan Seller as further described below.

(viii) For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder, to act as a Certificateholder for purposes of delivering any Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice or Final Dispute Election Resolution Notice or otherwise to vote Certificates owned by it or such Affiliates with respect to a course of action proposed or undertaken pursuant to the procedures described under this Section 2.03(l).

(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 within 30 days of written

154

notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection of mediation (such provider, the “Mediation Services Provider”) in accordance with published mediation procedures (the “Mediation Rules”) promulgated by the Mediation Services Provider.

(ii) The mediator shall be impartial, an attorney 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 shall 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 within 30 days of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection of arbitration (such provider, the “Arbitration Services Provider”) in accordance with published arbitration procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”) promulgated by the Arbitration Services Provider.

(ii) The arbitrator shall be impartial, an attorney 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 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.

155

(iv) After consulting with the parties at an organizational conference held not later than ten (10) Business Days after its appointment, the arbitrator shall devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within 120 days. The arbitrator shall have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for non-jury matters (the “Rules”) (including summary judgment and other prehearing and post hearing motions), and shall 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 shall be presumptively limited to the following discovery in the arbitration: (A) the parties shall reasonably and in good faith voluntarily produce to all other parties all documents upon which they intend to rely and all documents they reasonably and in good faith believe to be relevant to the claims or defenses asserted by any of the parties, (B) party witness depositions (excluding Rule 30b-6 witnesses), and (C) expert witness depositions, provided that the arbitrator shall have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitrator determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.

(vi) The arbitrator shall make its final determination no later than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the hearings and submission of any post-hearing submissions. The arbitrator shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, and may not modify or change those agreements in any way or award remedies not consistent with those agreements. The arbitrator shall 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 shall be promptly delivered to the parties. The final determination of the arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or state law, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(vii) By selecting arbitration, the 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 certified class action to arbitration.

156

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

(i) Any mediation or arbitration shall be held in New York, New York unless another location is agreed by all parties;

(ii) If the dispute involves a matter that cannot effectively be remedied by the payment of damages, or if there be any dispute relating to arbitration or the arbitrators that cannot be resolved promptly by the arbitrators or the Arbitration Services Provider, then any party in such instance may during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings seek temporary equitable remedies, pending the final decision of the arbitration panel, solely by application in the Southern District of New York if such court shall have subject matter jurisdiction, or if the Southern District of New York has no jurisdiction, then the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York. The arbitration proceedings shall not be stayed unless so ordered by the court.

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

(iv) In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall be required to contain an acknowledgment that the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, shall be a party to any arbitration or mediation proceedings solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing Party. All amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party shall be paid to the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall provide that in the event a Requesting Certificateholder is allocated any related costs and expenses pursuant to the terms of the arbitrator’s decision or the agreement reached in mediation, neither the Trust nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf shall be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Certificateholder.

157

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

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

(vii) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the exercise of any right of a Requesting 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) Any out-of-pocket expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in a mediation or arbitration shall be reimbursable as Trust Fund expenses.

(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.
